Project description:Objective: Mitochondrial NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) is a major producer of mitochondrial NADPH. IDH2-related research has focused on its mutation mechanism and its clinical significance, but the role of wild-type IDH2 in carcinoma remains controversial. Altered IDH2 levels have been identified in several types of carcinomas. However, the significance and expression of IDH2 in thyroid cancer remains unknown. Methods: We examined the expression of IDH2 in thyroid cancer and adjacent normal tissues using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemical (IHC) staining analyses, and western blot analysis with frozen tissues. The relationship between IDH2 and the clinicopathological features of thyroid cancer was analyzed by IHC. Subsequently, we investigated the function of wild-type IDH2 in thyroid cancer cells in vitro. Results: We found that the mRNA expression and protein levels of IDH2 were higher in tumor than in adjacent tissues, when evaluated by qRT-PCR, western blot, and IHC analyses. Tumor size, T stage, lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage showed significant differences between the IDH2 high expression and low expression groups. Multiple logistic regression analyses indicated that tumor size and IDH2 expression were significantly correlated with the occurrence of neck LNM. Furthermore, CCK8 levels, colony formation, and invasive cell number were decreased in the sh-IDH2 groups. The upregulation of IDH2 in thyroid cancer cells showed opposite effects. Conclusion: Our results indicated that IDH2 may play an important role in the development of thyroid cancer. IDH2 can be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis and may be a potential therapeutic target for thyroid cancer.

Project description:Abnormal metabolism is common in cancer cells and often correlates with mutations in genes encoding for enzymes involved in small-molecule metabolism. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is the most frequently mutated metabolic gene in cancer. Cancer-associated substitutions in IDH1 and IDH2 impair wild-type production of 2-oxoglutarate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) from isocitrate and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+ ), and substantially promote the IDH variant catalysed conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to d-2-hydroxyglutarate (d-2HG). Elevated d-2HG is a biomarker for some cancers, and inhibition of IDH1 and IDH2 variants is being pursued as a medicinal chemistry target. We provide an overview of the types of cancer-associated IDH variants, discuss some of the proposed consequences of altered metabolism as a result of elevated d-2HG, summarise therapeutic efforts targeting IDH variants and identify areas for future research.

Project description:BackgroundLymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a prerequisite step in breast cancer (BC) metastasis. We have previously identified wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) as a key putative driver of LVI. Thus, we explored the prognostic significance of IDH2 at transcriptome and protein expression levels in pre-invasive and invasive disease.MethodsUtlising tissue microarrays from a large well annotated BC cohort including ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer (IBC), IDH2 was assessed at the transcriptomic and proteomic level. The associations between clinicopathological factors including LVI status, prognosis and the expression of IDH2 were evaluated.ResultsIn pure DCIS and IBC, high IDH2 protein expression was associated with features of aggressiveness including high nuclear grade, larger size, comedo necrosis and hormonal receptor negativity and LVI, higher grade, larger tumour size, high NPI, HER2 positivity, and hormonal receptor negativity, respectively. High expression of IDH2 either in mRNA or in protein levels was associated with poor patient's outcome in both DCIS and IBC. Multivariate analysis revealed that IDH2 protein expression was an independent risk factor for shorter BC specific-survival.ConclusionFurther functional studies to decipher the role of IDH2 and its mechanism of action as a driver of BC progression and LVI are warranted.

Project description:IDH1 and IDH2 are homodimeric enzymes that catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) and concomitantly produce reduced NADPH from NADP(+) Mutations in the genes encoding IDH1 and IDH2 have recently been found in a variety of human cancers, most commonly glioma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chondrosarcoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The mutant protein loses its normal enzymatic activity and gains a new ability to produce the "oncometabolite" R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2-HG). R-2-HG competitively inhibits α-KG-dependent enzymes which play crucial roles in gene regulation and tissue homeostasis. Expression of mutant IDH impairs cellular differentiation in various cell lineages and promotes tumor development in cooperation with other cancer genes. First-generation inhibitors of mutant IDH have entered clinical trials, and have shown encouraging results in patients with IDH-mutant AML. This article summarizes recent progress in our understanding of the role of mutant IDH in tumorigenesis.Clin Cancer Res; 22(8); 1837-42. ©2016 AACR.

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene mutations are found in most World Health Organization grade II and III gliomas and secondary glioblastomas. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutations are known to have prognostic value in high-grade gliomas. However, their prognostic significance in low-grade gliomas remains controversial. We determined the predictive and prognostic value of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 status in low-grade gliomas. The association of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 status with clinicopathological and genetic factors was also evaluated. Clinical information and genetic data including isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation, O 6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation, 1p/19q chromosome loss, and TP53 mutation of 417 low-grade gliomas were collected from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic effect of clinical characteristics and molecular biomarkers. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation was identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall, but not progression-free, survival. Notably, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation was found to be a significant prognostic factor in patients with oligodendrogliomas, but not in patients with astrocytomas. Furthermore, O 6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation (p = 0.017) and TP53 mutation (p < 0.001), but not 1p/19q loss (p = 0.834), occurred at a higher frequency in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutated tumors than in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 wild-type tumors. Younger patient age (p = 0.041) and frontal lobe location (p = 0.010) were significantly correlated with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation. Chemotherapy did not provide a survival benefit in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutated tumors. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation was an independent prognostic factor in low-grade gliomas, whereas it showed no predictive value for chemotherapy response. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation was highly associated with O 6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation and TP53 mutation.

Project description:The identification of heterozygous neomorphic isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations across multiple cancer types including both solid and hematologic malignancies has revolutionized our understanding of oncogenesis in these malignancies and the potential for targeted therapeutics using small molecule inhibitors. The neomorphic mutation in IDH generates an oncometabolite product, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), which has been linked to the disruption of metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms responsible for cellular differentiation and is likely an early and critical contributor to oncogenesis. In the past 2 years, two mutant IDH (mutIDH) inhibitors, Enasidenib (AG-221), and Ivosidenib (AG-120), have been FDA-approved for IDH-mutant relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on phase 1 safety and efficacy data and continue to be studied in trials in hematologic malignancies, as well as in glioma, cholangiocarcinoma, and chondrosarcoma. In this review, we will summarize the molecular pathways and oncogenic consequences associated with mutIDH with a particular emphasis on glioma and AML, and systematically review the development and preclinical testing of mutIDH inhibitors. Existing clinical data in both hematologic and solid tumors will likewise be reviewed followed by a discussion on the potential limitations of mutIDH inhibitor monotherapy and potential routes for treatment optimization using combination therapy.

Project description:Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) are commonly observed in lower-grade glioma and secondary glioblastomas. IDH mutants confer a neomorphic enzyme activity that converts α-ketoglutarate to an oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate, which impacts cellular epigenetics and metabolism. IDH mutation establishes distinctive patterns in metabolism, cancer biology, and the therapeutic sensitivity of glioma. Thus, a deeper understanding of the roles of IDH mutations is of great value to improve the therapeutic efficacy of glioma and other malignancies that share similar genetic characteristics. In this review, we focused on the genetics, biochemistry, and clinical impacts of IDH mutations in glioma.

Project description:Purpose: Patients who inherit a pathogenic loss-of-function genetic variant involving one of the four succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit genes have up to an 86% chance of developing one or more cancers by the age of 50. If tumors are identified and removed early in these high-risk patients, they have a higher potential for cure. Unfortunately, many alterations identified in these genes are variants of unknown significance (VUS), confounding the identification of high-risk patients. If we could identify misclassified SDH VUS as benign or pathogenic SDH mutations, we could better select patients for cancer screening procedures and remove tumors at earlier stages.Experimental Design: In this study, we combine data from clinical observations, a functional yeast model, and a computational model to determine the pathogenicity of 22 SDHA VUS. We gathered SDHA VUS from two primary sources: The OHSU Knight Diagnostics Laboratory and the literature. We used a yeast model to identify the functional effect of a VUS on mitochondrial function with a variety of biochemical assays. The computational model was used to visualize variants' effect on protein structure.Results: We were able to draw conclusions on functional effects of variants using our three-prong approach to understanding VUS. We determined that 16 (73%) of the alterations are actually pathogenic, causing loss of SDH function, and six (27%) have no effect upon SDH function.Conclusions: We thus report the reclassification of the majority of the VUS tested as pathogenic, and highlight the need for more thorough functional assessment of inherited SDH variants.

Project description:Background:The recognition of distinct molecular subgroups within cholangiocarcinoma (CC), along with the increasing availability of targeted therapies, suggests that further characterization of the prevalence and prognosis of frequently occurring subgroups may assist with the development of more effective treatment approaches for the management of CC. A systematic review was performed to investigate the prevalence of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations (mIDH1) in patients with CC, the possible clinical and prognostic significance of mIDH1, and the presence of co-mutations in tumors with mIDH1. Methods:This review was conducted using the Cochrane dual-reviewer methodology and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Searches were performed in Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Trials Register and Database of Systematic Reviews, and other Cochrane Library assets using terms for CC and mIDH1 with no language or date restrictions for articles published up to December 31, 2017. Searches were also performed of abstracts presented at the following conferences in 2016 and 2017: American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), ASCO-Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), and ESMO-Asia. Screening was performed separately by two reviewers and cross-checked. Any discrepancies between reviewers were resolved by a senior researcher. Data from all selected references were recorded in a data extraction grid. Results:A total of 46 publications met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. Of these publications, 45 reported the frequency of mIDH1 among a total sample of 5,393 patients with CC. mIDH1 was enriched in intrahepatic CC (ICC), with 552 (13.1%; 95% CI, 12.1-14.2) of the 4,214 patients with ICC having the mutation compared with 9 (0.8%; 95% CI, 0.4-1.5%) of the 1,123 patients with extrahepatic CC (ECC). The percentage of females with mIDH1 CC (66.2%; 95% CI, 57.7-73.7%) was higher than in the overall CC population (44.4%). The frequency of mIDH1 in patients with ICC reported in individual studies ranged from 4.5-55.6%, and a significantly higher frequency was reported in non-Asian centers compared with Asian centers (weighted mean, 16.5% vs. 8.8%; P<0.001). The prevalence of mIDH1 in patients with ICC at USA centers was 18.0% (95% CI, 16.4-19.8%). Eleven publications reported the prevalence of co-mutations in patients with mIDH1 ICC, with the most frequent being AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) (22.0%), BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) (15.5%), and PBRM1 (13.3%). Eight publications investigated the possible prognostic significance of mIDH1. None of the studies reported a statistically significant association between mIDH1 and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), or time to progression. Conclusions:This systematic review substantiates the prevalence of mIDH1 in CC and further characterizes clinical, pathologic, and genetic covariates within this sub-population. Co-mutation data may inform future studies of mechanisms of response and resistance to mIDH1-targeted therapies.

Project description:A major advance in understanding the progression and prognostic outcome of certain cancers, such as low-grade gliomas, acute myeloid leukaemia, and chondrosarcomas, has been the identification of early-occurring mutations in the NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase genes IDH1 and IDH2 These mutations result in the production of the onco-metabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), thought to contribute to disease progression. To better understand the mechanisms of 2HG pathophysiology, we introduced the analogous glioma-associated mutations into the NADP+?isocitrate dehydrogenase genes (IDP1, IDP2, IDP3) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Intriguingly, expression of the mitochondrial IDP1R148H mutant allele results in high levels of 2HG production as well as extensive mtDNA loss and respiration defects. We find no evidence for a reactive oxygen-mediated mechanism mediating this mtDNA loss. Instead, we show that 2HG production perturbs the iron sensing mechanisms as indicated by upregulation of the Aft1-controlled iron regulon and a concomitant increase in iron levels. Accordingly, iron chelation, or overexpression of a truncated AFT1 allele that dampens transcription of the iron regulon, suppresses the loss of respirative capacity. Additional suppressing factors include overexpression of the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase gene ALD5 or disruption of the retrograde response transcription factor RTG1 Furthermore, elevated ?-ketoglutarate levels also suppress 2HG-mediated respiration loss; consistent with a mechanism by which 2HG contributes to mtDNA loss by acting as a toxic ?-ketoglutarate analog. Our findings provide insight into the mechanisms that may contribute to 2HG oncogenicity in glioma and acute myeloid leukaemia progression, with the promise for innovative diagnostic and prognostic strategies and novel therapeutic modalities.
