Project description:Clinical and molecular risk factors were analyzed in a large cohort of patients with Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors (ATRT) recruited to the European Rhabdoid Regsitry (EU-RHAB) and data were validated in a second independent cohort of ATRT patients.
Project description:The samples deposited here are part of the ATRT consensus cohort as published in Ho et al. ("Molecular subgrouping of Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors (ATRT) - a reinvestigation and current consensus") and have so far not been included in any publication.
Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is one of the most common brain tumors in infants. Although the prognosis of ATRT patients is poor, some patients respond favorably to current treatments, suggesting molecular inter-tumor heterogeneity. To investigate this further, we genetically and epigenetically analyzed a large series of human ATRTs. Three distinct molecular subgroups of ATRTs, associated with differences in demographics, tumor location, and type of SMARCB1 alterations, were identified. Whole-genome DNA and RNA sequencing found no recurrent mutations in addition to SMARCB1 that would explain the differences between subgroups. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and H3K27Ac chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing of primary tumors, however, revealed clear differences, leading to the identification of subgroup-specific regulatory networks and potential therapeutic targets. 49 ATRT samples were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. ---------------------------------------- This submission consists of the expression data for 49 of 170 samples only
Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT) are known for their heterogeneity concerning pathophysiology and outcome. However, predictive factors within distinct subgroups still need to be uncovered. Using multiplex immunofluorescent staining and singe-cell RNA sequencing we unraveled distinct compositions of the immunological tumor microenvironment (TME) across ATRT subgroups. CD68+ cells predominantly infiltrate ATRT-SHH and ATRT-MYC and are a negative prognostic factor for patients’ survival. Within the murine ATRT-MYC and ATRT-SHH TME, Cd68+ macrophages are core to intercellular communication with tumor cells. In ATRT-MYC distinct tumor cell phenotypes express macrophage marker genes. These cells are involved in the acquisition of chemotherapy resistance in our relapse xenograft mouse model. In conclusion, the tumor cell-macrophage interaction contributes to ATRT-MYC heterogeneity and tumor recurrence.
