NGS Analysis Confirms Common TP53 and RB1 Mutations, and Suggests MYC Amplification in Ocular Adnexal Sebaceous Carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: Ocular adnexal (OA) sebaceous carcinomas generally demonstrate more aggressive clinical and histopathological phenotypes than extraocular cases, but the molecular drivers implicated in their oncogenesis remain poorly defined. A retrospective review of surgical and ocular pathology archives identified eleven primary resection specimens of OA sebaceous carcinomas with adequate tissue for molecular analysis; two extraocular cases were also examined. Next-generation sequencing was used to evaluate mutations and copy number changes in a large panel of cancer-associated genes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed MYC copy number gain in select cases, and immunohistochemistry to evaluate MYC protein expression. The commonest mutations occurred in TP53 (10/13) and RB1 (7/13). Additional mutations in clinically actionable genes, or mutations with a frequency of at least 25%, included the NF1 (3/12), PMS2 (4/12), ROS1 (3/12), KMT2C (4/12), MNX1 (6/12), NOTCH1 (4/12), PCLO (3/12), and PTPRT (3/12) loci. Low level copy number gain suggestive of amplification of the MYC locus was seen in two cases, and confirmed using FISH. MYC protein expression, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, was present in almost all sebaceous carcinoma cases. Our findings support the concept that alterations in TP53 and RB1 are the commonest alterations in sebaceous carcinoma, and suggest that MYC may contribute to the oncogenesis of these tumors.

Project description:PurposeEyelid sebaceous carcinoma (SeC) is the third most frequent eyelid malignancy worldwide and is relatively prevalent in Asian patients. An eyelid SeC cell line model is necessary for experimental research to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of eyelid SeC. This study established and characterized an eyelid SeC cell line with a TP53 mutation that might be useful for analyzing potential treatment options for eyelid SeC.MethodsThe eyelid SeC cell line SHNPH-SeC was obtained from a patient with eyelid SeC at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital (SHNPH), Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine. Immunofluorescence staining was employed to detect the origination and proliferation activity. Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling was performed for verification. Chromosome analysis was implemented to investigate chromosome aberrations. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to discover genomic mutations. Cell proliferation assays were performed to identify sensitivity to mitomycin-C (MMC) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).ResultsSHNPH-SeC cells were successively subcultured for more than 100 passages and demonstrated rapid proliferation and migration. Karyotype analysis revealed abundant chromosome aberrations, and WES revealed SeC-related mutations in TP53, KMT2C, and ERBB2. An in vivo tumor model was successfully established in NOD/SCID mice. Biomarkers of eyelid SeC, including cytokeratin 5 (CK5), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), adipophilin, p53, and Ki-67, were detected in SHNPH-SeC cells, original tumors, and xenografts. MMC and 5-FU inhibited the proliferation and migration of SHNPH-SeC cells, and SHNPH-SeC cells presented a greater drug response than non-TP53-mutated SeC cells.ConclusionsThe newly established eyelid SeC cell line SHNPH-SeC demonstrates mutation in TP53, the most commonly mutated gene in SeC. It presents SeC properties and malignant characteristics that may facilitate the investigation of cellular behaviors and molecular mechanisms of SeC to explore promising therapeutic strategies.
