Assessment of cannabidiol and ÃŽÂ”9-tetrahydrocannabiol in mouse models of medulloblastoma

Project description:Phytocannabinoids ÃŽÂ”9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have been demonstrated to exhibit anti-cancer activity in preclinical models of brain cancer leading to new clinical trials for adults with glioblastoma. We describe here the first report that has investigated a role for THC and CBD in paediatric brain cancer. Cannabinoids had cytotoxic activity against medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells in vitro, functioning in part through the inhibition of cell cycle progression and the induction of autophagy. Despite these effects in vitro, when tested in orthotopic mouse models of medulloblastoma or ependymoma, no impact on animal survival was observed. Furthermore, cannabinoids neither enhanced nor impaired conventional chemotherapy in a medulloblastoma mouse model. These data show that while THC and CBD do have some effects on medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells, are well tolerated and have minimal adverse effects, they do not appear to elicit any survival benefit in preclinical models of paediatric brain cancer.

YAP/TAZ drives ependymoma-like tumour formation in mice

Project description:YAP1 gene fusions have been observed in a subset of paediatric ependymomas. Here we show that, ectopic expression of active nuclear YAP1 (nlsYAP5SA) in ventricular zone neural progenitor cells using conditionally-induced NEX/NeuroD6-Cre is sufficient to drive brain tumour formation in mice. Neuronal differentiation is inhibited in the hippocampus. Deletion of YAP1’s negative regulators LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in NEX-Cre lineage in double conditional knockout mice also generates similar tumours, which are rescued by deletion of YAP1 and its paralog TAZ. YAP1/TAZ-induced mouse tumours display molecular and ultrastructural characteristics of human ependymoma. RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics of mouse tumours demonstrate similarities to YAP1-fusion induced supratentorial ependymoma. Finally, we find that transcriptional cofactor HOPX is upregulated in mouse models and in human YAP1-fusion induced ependymoma, supporting their similarity. Our results show that uncontrolled YAP1/TAZ activity in neuronal precursor cells leads to ependymoma-like tumours in mice.

Pembrolizumab in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent, Progressive, or Refractory High-Grade Gliomas, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas, Hypermutated Brain Tumors, Ependymoma or Medulloblastoma

Project description:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors that are generally expected to be fast growing and aggressive), diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors), brain tumors with a high number of genetic mutations, ependymoma or medulloblastoma that have come back (recurrent), progressed, or have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may induce changes in the body’s immune system, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Expression data from paediatric ependymoma short-term cell cultures

Project description:Promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing is a common epigenetic mechanism of tumour suppressor inactivation in cancer, including malignant brain tumours. To identify targets of epigenetic silencing mediated by CpG island methylation in paediatric ependymoma, we used a pharmacological unmasking approach through treatment with the demethylating agent 5-Aza-2M-bM-^@M-^Y-deoxycytidine followed by global expression microarray analysis. Three short-term ependymoma cell cultures were used for whole genome expression analysis following treatment with the demethylating agent 5-Aza-dC (5 M-BM-5mol/L) or mock-treated with DMSO (M-bM-^IM-$0.1% v/v) for 96-hrs.

Distinct epigenetic profiles at the cytosine modification level define epithelial-to-mesenchymal cell-state transitions

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation profiling of 6 isolated single cell clones and the parental (SUM149-PT) cell line. The Illumina Infinium Human MethylationEPIC Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in 6 isolated single cell clones that represent the phenotypes of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal spectrum along with the parental (SUM149-PT) cell line. Isolated single cell clones represent varying phenotypes of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Detailed isolation and characterization methods can be found in Brown et al, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.434993
