Clinicopathologic and molecular analysis of a BCOR-CCNB3 undifferentiated sarcoma of the kidney reveals significant epigenetic alterations.

ABSTRACT: Undifferentiated soft tissue sarcomas (UDSTSs) are a group of mesenchymal tumors that remain a diagnostic challenge because of their morphologic heterogeneity and unclear histologic origin (Peters et al., Mod Pathol 28: 575 [2015]). In this case report, we present the first multiomics molecular signature for a BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma (BCS) that includes mutation analysis, gene expression, DNA methylation, and micro RNA (miRNA) expression. We identify a paucity of additional mutations in this tumor and detail that there is significant dysregulation of gene expression of epigenetic remodeling agents including key members of the PRC, Sin3A/3b, NuRD, and NcoR/SMRT complexes and the DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b. This is accompanied by significant DNA methylation changes and dysregulation of multiple miRNAs with known links to tumorigenesis. This study significantly increases our understanding of the BCOR effects on fusion-positive undifferentiated sarcomas at both the genomic and epigenomic level and suggests that as better-tailored and more refined treatment algorithms continue to evolve, epigenetic modifying agents should be further evaluated for their efficacy against these tumors.

CLINICOPATHOLOGIC AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF A BCOR-CCNB3+ UNDIFFERENTIATED SARCOMA OF THE KIDNEY REVEALS SIGNIFICANT EPI-GENETIC ALTERATION [methylation]

Project description:Undifferentiated soft tissue sarcomas (UDSTS ) are a group of mesenchymal tumors that remain a diagnostic challenge due to their morphologic heterogeneity and unclear histologic origin (Pe-ters et al. 2015b). In this case report, we present the first multi-omics molecular signature for BCOR-CCNB3 sarcomas (BCS) that includes mutation analysis, gene expression, DNA methyla-tion, and mi-RNA expression. We identify a paucity of additonal mutations in this tumor and de-tail that there is significant dysregulation of gene expression of epigeneic remodeling agents in-cluding key members of the PRC, Sin3A/3b, NuRD, and NcoR/SMRT complexes and the DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b. This is accompanied by significant DNA methylation changes and dysregulation of multiple miRNA with known links to tumorigenesis. This study significantly increases our understanding of the BCOR effects on fusion positive un-differentiated sarcomas at both the genomic and epigenomic level, and suggests that as better-tailored and more refined treatment algorithms continue to evolve, epigenetic modifying agents should be further evaluated for their efficacy against these tumors.

BCOR-CCNB3 fusion and BCOR internal tandem duplication in undifferentiated round cell sarcoma: a pathologic and molecular study of 5 cases.

Project description:Undifferentiated round cell sarcomas (URCSs) usually remained unclassified due to lack of known genetic abnormalities. Herein, we retrospectively collected 5 cases of URCSs and sought to investigate their unique clinicopathologic and molecular features for providing more accurate classification. There were 2 males and 3 females with age ranged from 7 months to 17 years. The tumors were respectively located in the sacrum, fibula, neck, perineum or groin. Microscopically, all 5 tumors were composed of small-to-medium sized cells with primitive morphology and variable cellularity, distributed within loose myxoid or collagenized fibroid stroma. These tumors lacked specific immunophenotypes and known gene rearrangements. However, the expression levels of CD99 and cyclin D1 were variable. RNA-sequencing data identified one BCOR-CCNB3 gene fusion-positive sarcoma occurring in the sacrum of a 17-year-old male patient. Whole genome sequencing analysis detected BCOR exon 15-internal tandem duplication (BCOR-ITD) in the tumor arising in the groin of one 7-month-old female infant. No specific gene abnormalities were found in the other 3 cases. Interestingly, a morphological and immunohistochemical overlap existed between BCOR-rearrangement tumor and BCOR-ITD-positive tumor, including areas with hypercellularity alternating with hypocellularity, a mixture of round cells and focal spindle cells, pale nuclear chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli and abundant myxoid matrix, diffuse strong cyclin D1 expression, relatively strong expression of CD99 but lower than that in Ewing sarcoma, and a low Ki-67 proliferation index of about 10%. Our findings demonstrated a significant link between genetic aberration and histopathologic appearances, thus supporting the crucial role of genetic characteristics in accurate clinicopathological classification.

BCOR-CCNB3 fusions are frequent in undifferentiated sarcomas of male children.

Project description:The BCOR-CCNB3 fusion gene, resulting from a chromosome X paracentric inversion, was recently described in translocation-negative 'Ewing-like' sarcomas arising in bone and soft tissue. Genetic subclassification of undifferentiated unclassified sarcomas may potentially offer markers for reproducible diagnosis and substrates for therapy. Using whole transcriptome paired-end RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) we unexpectedly identified BCOR-CCNB3 fusion transcripts in an undifferentiated spindle-cell sarcoma. RNA-seq results were confirmed through direct RT-PCR of tumor RNA and cloning of the genomic breakpoints from tumor DNA. Five additional undifferentiated sarcomas with BCOR-CCNB3 fusions were identified in a series of 42 pediatric and adult unclassified sarcomas. Genomic breakpoint analysis demonstrated unique breakpoint locations in each case at the DNA level even though the resulting fusion mRNA was identical in all cases. All patients with BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma were males diagnosed in mid childhood (7-13 years of age). Tumors were equally distributed between axial and extra-axial locations. Five of the six tumors were soft-tissue lesions with either predominant spindle-cell morphology or spindle-cell areas interspersed with ovoid to round cells. CCNB3 immunohistochemistry showed strong nuclear positivity in five tumors before oncologic therapy, but was patchy to negative in post-treatment tumor samples. An RT-PCR assay developed to detect the fusion transcript in archival formalin-fixed tissue was positive in all six cases, with high sensitivity and specificity in both pre- and post-treated samples. This study adds to recent reports on the clinicopathologic spectrum of BCOR-CCNB3 fusion-positive sarcomas, a newly emerging entity within the undifferentiated unclassified sarcoma category and describes a simple RT-PCR assay that in conjunction with CCNB3 immunohistochemistry can be useful in diagnosing these tumors.
