Diagnostic accuracy of 1p/19q codeletion tests in oligodendroglioma: A comprehensive meta-analysis based on a Cochrane systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Codeletion of chromosomal arms 1p and 19q, in conjunction with a mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 gene, is the molecular diagnostic criterion for oligodendroglioma, IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted. 1p/19q codeletion is a diagnostic marker and allows prognostication and prediction of the best drug response within IDH-mutant tumours. We performed a Cochrane review and simple economic analysis to establish the most sensitive, specific and cost-effective techniques for determining 1p/19q codeletion status. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based loss of heterozygosity (LOH) test methods were considered as reference standard. Most techniques (FISH, chromogenic in situ hybridisation [CISH], PCR, real-time PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification [MLPA], single nucleotide polymorphism [SNP] array, comparative genomic hybridisation [CGH], array CGH, next-generation sequencing [NGS], mass spectrometry and NanoString) showed good sensitivity (few false negatives) for detection of 1p/19q codeletions in glioma, irrespective of whether FISH or PCR-based LOH was used as the reference standard. Both NGS and SNP array had a high specificity (fewer false positives) for 1p/19q codeletion when considered against FISH as the reference standard. Our findings suggest that G banding is not a suitable test for 1p/19q analysis. Within these limits, considering cost per diagnosis and using FISH as a reference, MLPA was marginally more cost-effective than other tests, although these economic analyses were limited by the range of available parameters, time horizon and data from multiple healthcare organisations.

Project description:Background: Chromosome 1p/19q codeletion is one of the most important genetic alterations for low grade gliomas (LGGs), and patients with 1p/19q codeletion have significantly prolonged survival compared to those without the codeletion. And the tumor immune microenvironment also plays a vital role in the tumor progression and prognosis. However, the effect of 1p/19q codeletion on the tumor immune microenvironment in LGGs is unclear. Methods: Immune cell infiltration of 281 LGGs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 543 LGGs from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) were analyzed for immune cell infiltration through three bioinformatics tools: ESTIMATE algorithm, TIMER, and xCell. The infiltrating level of immune cells and expression of immune checkpoint genes were compared between different groups classified by 1p/19q codeletion and IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase) mutation status. The differential biological processes and signaling pathways were evaluated through Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Correlations were analyzed using Spearman correlation. Results: 1p/19q codeletion was associated with immune-related biological processes in LGGs. The infiltrating level of multiple kinds of immune cells and expression of immune checkpoint genes were significantly lower in 1p/19q codeletion LGGs compared to 1p/19q non-codeletion cohorts. There are 127 immune-related genes on chromosome 1p or 19q, such as TGFB1, JAK1, and CSF1. The mRNA expression of these genes was positively correlated with their DNA copy number. These genes are distributed in multiple immune categories, such as chemokines/cytokines, TGF-β family members, and TNF family members, regulating immune cell infiltration and expression of the immune checkpoint genes in tumors. Conclusion: Our results indicated that 1p/19q codeletion status is closely associated with the immunosuppressive microenvironment in LGGs. LGGs with 1p/19q codeletion display less immune cell infiltration and lower expression of immune checkpoint genes than 1p/19q non-codeletion cases. Mechanistically, this may be, at least in part, due to the deletion of copy number of immune-related genes in LGGs with 1p/19q codeletion. Our findings may be relevant to investigate immune evasion in LGGs and contribute to the design of immunotherapeutic strategies for patients with LGGs.

Project description:High-grade gliomas are malignant neuroepithelial tumors. The current WHO classification for adult-type diffuse gliomas is based on IDH1/2 mutational and 1p/19q-codeletion status, which can be refined by emerging genomics, transcriptomics, and methylomics approaches. Nevertheless, therapy has been dominated by radiochemotherapy for about 15 years and progressed little in efficacy or precision through advanced molecular patient stratification. Glioma proteome alterations remain undercharacterized despite their promise for a better stratification and, in particular, the identification of therapeutic targets. Here, we used mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize 42 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from IDH-wildtype (IDHwt), IDH-mutant (IDHmut) gliomas with and without 1p/19q-codeletion, and non-neoplastic brain tissue controls. Based on more than 5500 quantified proteins and 5000 phospho-sites, gliomas separated according to IDH1/2 mutational status and reflected loss of proteins encoded on 1p/19q in IDHmut, gains on chromosome 7 and losses on chromosome 10 in IDHwt. Unexpectedly, the 1p/19q-codeletion resulted in minor proteome changes. Instead, two proteomic subtypes of IDHmut gliomas showed major perturbations of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins, aerobic/anaerobic energy metabolism, RNA metabolism, chromatin dynamics, the extracellular matrix as well as tumor suppressor and oncoproteins. Reanalysis of three glioma proteomics studies independently validate the observed hallmarks and associate these proteomic subtypes with the well-established proneural and classic/mesenchymal IDHwt glioma subtypes. These results suggest an alternative stratification of IDHmut gliomas as part of common phenotypic subtypes independent of the IDH status, with broad therapeutic implications for patients with IDHmut gliomas in the future. Altogether, our study provides a rich protein and phospho-site resource restratifying glioma subtypes and supporting future mechanism of action and target discovery investigations.
