TGL38_MPNST_WT - samples

ABSTRACT: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST)-like melanoma is a rare malignancy with overlapping characteristics of both neural sarcoma and melanoma. The genomics of MPNST-like melanoma have not been previously described. In this study, we performed whole transcriptome sequencing analysis in 8 samples from 6 patients diagnosed with MPNST-like melanoma. In correlation with deletion ofxa0SERPINB4xa0in all our samples, there was noxa0SERPINB4xa0mRNA expression in our cohort, suggesting a potential tumor-suppressor role of SERPINB4 in MPNST-like melanomas.xa0HRAS, a gene uncommonly mutated in cutaneous melanomas, was mutated in 2 patients, but with no increased mRNA expression.xa0BRAFxa0mRNA expression, resultant from an atypicalxa0BRAFxa0mutation, was increased in association with an inactivatingxa0NF1xa0mutation. Our data demonstrate the role of alternative mechanisms of RAS pathway activation in MPNST-like melanomas and suggest the potential role of other molecular pathways in its carcinogenesis.

BCAT1 and miR-2504: novel methylome signature distinguishes spindle/desmoplastic melanoma from superficial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor

Project description:Genome wide methylation of superficial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors and spindle cell melanomas. EPIC HD 850K array is used to identifiy differentally methylated promoter region probes and unique methyome signatures. Superficial/cutaneous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (c-MPNST) is a rare, soft tissue neoplasm that shares morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular with spindle and desmoplastic melanoma (SDM). Herein we investigate a methylome signature distinguishing between both entities. DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues was extracted and processed using the Illumina Infinium epic array interrogating 866,562 CpG sites. Using a home grown informatics pipeline we identify differentially methylated regions (DMR) between both entities. Functional network analysis for enrichment signatures was performed using DAVID tools. Identified DMR’s are compared with TCGA skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) data and a recently published set of MPNST in order to assess specifity of the identified signature. Thirty patients are included (SDM= 15 and c-MPNST=15) including 23 males and 7 females. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering probes showed a distinct pattern of methylation between c-MPNST and SDM. Two probes cg20783223 and cg13332552 co-localized in the promoter region of BCAT1 and MIR2504. Pathway analysis highlighted an enrichment in s subset of genes involved in breast and gastric cancer centered on BCAT1 and downstream activated genes in the mTORC pathway. Our study identifies BCAT1 as a unique marker distinguishing between SDM and MPNST. Further immunohistochemical studies are underway to investigate the role of BCAT expression in that regard.

Genomic Landscape of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor-like Melanoma

Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST)-like melanoma is a rare malignancy with overlapping characteristics of both neural sarcoma and melanoma. The genomics of MPNST-like melanoma have not been previously described. This study provides the results of whole exome and transcriptome sequencing analysis of 8 samples from 6 patients with confirmed diagnosis of MPNST-like melanoma. This study demonstrates that MPNST-like melanoma shares oncogenic alterations common to both cutaneous melanoma and MPNST, and also suggests that MPNST-like melanoma harbors unique genomic and transcriptomic alterations.

The genomics of MPNST-like melanoma have not been previously described. In this study, we performed whole exome sequencing analysis in 8 samples from 6 patients diagnosed with MPNST-like melanoma. Our results demonstrate that, although MPNST-like melanoma shares oncogenic alterations common to both cutaneous melanoma and MPNST, it also presents unique genomic alterations not previously described in neither of the malignancies.

Cdkn2a loss in a model of neurofibroma demonstrates stepwise tumor progression to atypical neurofibroma and MPNST

Project description:Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are benign nerve sheath Schwann cell tumors, common in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), that are characterized by biallelic mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor gene. Atypical neurofibromas (ANF) show additional frequent loss of CDKN2A/Ink4a/Arf and may be precursor lesions of aggressive malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). We combined loss of Nf1 in developing

Transgenic mice overexpressing Neuregulin-1 model neurofibroma-malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor progression and implicate specific chromosomal copy number variations in tumorigenesis.

Project description:Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develop benign plexiform neurofibromas that frequently progress to become malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). A genetically engineered mouse model that accurately models plexiform neurofibroma-MPNST progression would facilitate the identification of somatic mutations driving this process. We have previously reported that transgenic mice overexpressing the growth factor neuregulin-1 in Schwann cells (P0-GGF?3 mice) develop MPNSTs. To determine whether P0-GGF?3 mice accurately model neurofibroma-MPNST progression, cohorts of these animals were followed to death and necropsied. 94% of the mice developed multiple neurofibromas, with 70% carrying smaller numbers of MPNSTs; nascent MPNSTs were identified within neurofibromas, suggesting that these sarcomas arise from neurofibromas. Although neurofibromin expression was maintained, P0-GGF?3 MPNSTs, like human NF1-associated MPNSTs, demonstrated Ras hyperactivation. P0-GGF?3 MPNSTs also showed abnormalities in the p16INK4A-cyclin D/CDK4-Rb and p19ARF-Mdm-p53 pathways analogous to their human counterparts. Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) demonstrated reproducible chromosomal alterations in P0-GGF?3 MPNST cells (including universal chromosome 11 gains) and focal gains and losses affecting 39 genes previously implicated in neoplasia (e.g., Pten, Tpd52, Myc , Gli1, Xiap, Bbc3/PUMA). Array CGH also identified recurrent focal copy number variations affecting genes not previously linked to neurofibroma or MPNST pathogenesis. We conclude that P0-GGF?3 mice represent a robust model of neurofibroma-MPNST progression that can be used to identify novel genes driving neurofibroma and MPNST pathogenesis.

Integrative genomic analyses of neurofibromatosis tumors identify SOX9 as biomarker and survival gene

Project description:Understanding biological pathways critical for common neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) peripheral nerve tumors is essential, as tumor biomarkers, prognostic factors and therapeutics are all lacking. We used gene expression profiling to define transcriptional changes between primary normal Schwann cells (n = 10), NF1-derived primary benign neurofibroma Schwann cells (n = 22), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) cell lines (n = 13), benign neurofibromas (n = 26) and MPNST (n = 6). Dermal and plexiform neurofibromas were indistinguishable. A prominent theme in the analysis was aberrant differentiation. Neurofibromas repressed gene programs normally active in Schwann cell precursors and immature Schwann cells. MPNST signatures strongly differed; genes upregulated in the sarcomas were significantly enriched for genes activated in neural crest cells. We validated differential expression of 82 genes including the neural crest transcription factor SOX9 and SOX9 predicted targets. SOX9 immunoreactivity was robust in neurofibroma and MPSNT tissue sections and targeting SOX9 - strongly expressed in NF1-related tumors - caused MPNST cell death. SOX9 is a biomarker of neurofibroma and MPNST, and possibly a therapeutic target in NF1. Keywords: tumor stage 86 microarrays, consisting of 77 samples and 9 batch reference samples: NHSC (10), dNFSC (11), pNFSC (11), MPNST cell lines (13), dNF (13), pNF (13), MPNST (6)
