Endometrial Carcinoma Somatic Copy Number Analysis Study
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy in the United States and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death amongst American women. The purpose of this study was to identify somatic (tumor-specific) copy number alterations in 7 clear cell ECs, 31 serous ECs, 17 endometrioid ECs, and the clear cell components of 2 endometrioid/clear cell ECs. To this end, DNAs from de-identified primary endometrial tumors and matched non-tumor tissues or blood were hybridized to high-density Illumina Infinium HumanHap650Y Beadchips or to high-density Human660W-Quad Beadchips and the data analyzed to annotate somatic copy number alterations throughout the genome.

Project description:<p>The purpose of the original study was to search for somatic mutations in the tyrosine kinome of serous and clear cell endometrial carcinomas (human). The study was conducted in two phases.</p> <p>Phase 1: A mutation discovery screen, in which ~577 exons encoding the catalytic domains of 86 tyrosine kinases were PCR-amplified and bidirectionally Sanger sequenced from 24 serous, 11 clear cell, and 5 mixed histology endometrial tumors. This was followed by alignment of sequence reads to the human reference sequence and subsequent nucleotide variant calling to identify potential somatic (tumor-specific) mutations. Potential somatic mutations were confirmed by re-amplification and sequencing of the relevant tumor DNA as well as matched non-tumor ("normal") DNA from the same case.</p> <p>Phase 2: A mutation prevalence screen, in which the non-catalytic regions two tyrosine kinase genes, TNK2 and DDR1, were PCR-amplified and sequenced from the 40 discovery screen tumors, and all coding exons of TNK2 and DDR1 were PCR-amplified and sequenced from another 10 clear cell, 21 serous, and 41 endometrioid endometrial tumors, in an effort to identify additional somatic mutations in each gene. Exons encoding the exonuclease domain of POLE were also sequenced to document somatic mutations.</p>

Project description:Ovarian cancer is characterized by multiple structural aberrations; most are passenger alterations which do not confer tumor growth. Like many cancers, it is a heterogeneous disease and till date, the histotype-specific copy number landscape has been difficult to elucidate. To dissect the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer and understand the pathogenesis of its various histotypes, we developed an in silico hypothesis-driven workflow to identify histotype-specific copy number aberrations across multiple datasets of epithelial ovarian cancer. In concordance with previous studies on global copy number changes, our study showed similar alterations. However, when the landscape was de-convoluted into histotypes, distinct alterations were observed. We report here a comprehensive histotype-specific copy number landscape of ovarian cancer and showed that there is genomic diversity between the histotypes; some involving well known cancer genes and some novel potential driver genes. Besides preferential occurrence of alterations in some histotypes, opposite trends of alteration were observed; such as ERBB2 amplification in mucinous but deletion in serous tumors. The landscape highlights the need for identifying histotype-specific aberrations in ovarian cancer and present potential to tailor management of ovarian cancer based on molecular signature of histotypes. 56 samples containing the 4 histotypes were used for this study. It contained 12 clear cell carcinoma, 6 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 2 mucinous adenocarcinoma, 5 mucinous-borderline tumors, 26 serous adenocarcinoma, and 5 serous-borderline tumors.

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most aggressive histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer, which is characterized by a high frequency of somatic TP53 mutations. To provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these cancers and to develop a risk classification system, we conducted profiling of the copy number alterations present in these tumors. Thirty patients who were diagnosed as high-grade serous ovarian cancer were recruited in this study. Affymetrix SNP array were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from high-grade serous ovarian cancer tissues or peripheral blood samples.

Project description:Background: Ovarian carcinomas consist of at least five distinct diseases: high-grade serous, low-grade serous, clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous. Biomarker and molecular characterization may represent a more biologically relevant basis for grouping and treating this family of tumors, rather than site of origin. Molecular characteristics have become the new standard for clinical pathology, however development of tailored type-specific therapies is hampered by a failure of basic research to recognize that model systems used to study these diseases must also be stratified. Unrelated model systems do offer value for study of biochemical processes but specific cellular context needs to be applied to assess relevant therapeutic strategies. Methods: We have focused on the identification of clear cell carcinoma cell line models. A panel of 32 M-bM-^@M-^\ovarian cancerM-bM-^@M-^] cell lines has been classified into histological types using a combination of mutation profiles, IHC mutation-surrogates, and a validated immunohistochemical model. All cell lines were identity verified using STR analysis. Results: Many described ovarian clear cell lines have characteristic mutations (including ARID1A and PIK3CA) and an overall molecular/immuno-profile typical of primary tumors. Mutations in TP53 were present in the majority of high-grade serous cell lines. Advanced genomic analysis of bona-fide clear cell carcinoma cell lines also support copy number changes in typical biomarkers such at MET and HNF1B and a lack of any recurrent expressed re-arrangements. Conclusions: As with primary ovarian tumors, mutation status of cancer genes like ARID1A and TP53 and a general immuno-profile serve well for establishing histological type of ovarian cancer cell We describe specific biomarkers and molecular features to re-classify generic M-bM-^@M-^\ovarian carcinomaM-bM-^@M-^] cell lines into type specific categories. Our data supports the use of prototype clear cell lines, such as TOV21G and JHOC-5, and questions the use of SKOV3 and A2780 as models of high-grade serous carcinoma. The DNA copy number of 10 ovarian cancer cell lines was examined and changes in copy number of genes whose expression is assumed to be critical to the phenotype of ovarian clear cell carcinoma was evaluated. Copy number data was estimated from signal intensity on Affmetrix SNP 6.0 arrays. Copy number ratio values were generated in Partek Genomics Suite (v 6.6) using a Partek corporation distributed baseline file of normal (2N) genomic DNA and default parameters. Post import values were corrected for localized GC content using the inbuilt Partek feature based on methods described in Diskin et al. (Nucleic Acids Research. 2008. 36:19). The characteristic "literature reported histotype" is the reported histological subtype for each cell line from the originating laboratory or cell bank (repository). The characteristic "Predicted histology" is based on parameters described in Anglesio et al. (PLOS ONE 2013. in press), including immunohistochemical phenotype, presence of typical mutations, consistency in growth characteristics, and DNA copy number. All cell lines were grown under recomended conditions, collected near confluence (80%) and not subjected to any experimental treatments or modifications.
