Project description:We studied the effect of BMI1 inhibition in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma cells (DIPG). We reported the application of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing for high-thoughput profiling of BMI1 and H2AK119ub in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma cells (DIPG) in response to BMI1 inhibition. We also performed bulk RNA sequencing of DIPG cells in response to pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of BMI1.
Project description:ChIP-Seq analysis of a pediatric human diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cell line SF8628, harboring the K27M mutation. Goal was to obtain quantitative estimates of K27me3 immunoprecipitation change between vehicle-treated SF8628 cells [dimethyl sulfoxide, (DMSO)] and SF8628 cells incubated with 6 mM GSKJ4 at 24 hours and 72 hours.

Three-condition experiment: 72 h GSKJ4-treated cells vs. 24 h GSKJ4-treated cells vs. DMSO-treated cells. Biological replicates: 1 cell line, each with 2 technical replicates per condition.
Project description:Purpose: To define copy number alterations and gene expression signatures underlying pediatric high-grade glioma (HGG). Patients and Methods: We conducted a high-resolution analysis of genomic imbalances in 78 de novo pediatric HGG, including 7 diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, and 10 HGG cases arising in children who received cranial irradiation for a previous cancer, using Affymetrix 500K GeneChips. Gene expression signatures for 53 tumors were analyzed with Affymetrix U133v2 arrays. Results were compared with publicly available data from adult tumors. Results: Pediatric and adult glioblastoma were clearly distinguished by frequent gain of chromosome 1q (30% vs 9%) and lower frequency of chromosome 7 gain (13% vs 74%), respectively. The most common focal amplifications also differed, with PDGFRA and EGFR predominant in childhood and adult populations respectively. These common alterations in pediatric HGG were detected at higher frequency in irradiation-induced tumors, suggesting that these are initiating events in childhood gliomagenesis. CDKN2A was the most common tumor suppressor gene targeted by homozygous deletion in pediatric HGG. No IDH1 hotspot mutations were found in pediatric tumors, highlighting molecular differences in pathogenesis between childhood HGG and adult secondary glioblastoma. Integrated copy number and gene expression data indicated that deregulated PDGFRA signaling plays a major role in pediatric HGG. Conclusions: Integrated molecular profiling showed substantial differences in the molecular features underlying pediatric and adult HGG, indicating that findings in adult tumors cannot be simply extrapolated to younger patients. PDGFRA may be a useful target for pediatric HGG including diffuse pontine gliomas.

Project description:Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a rare and highly aggressive pediatric tumor. The average survival time after diagnosis is less than one year. Currently, there are no effective treatments. Characteristic of DIPG is a mutation in histone H3 which leads to a substitution of Lysine 27 to Methionine (H3K27M) which deregulates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), including enzymatic activity of EZH2. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of EZH2 by chemical agents decreases DIPG cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. My thesis project aims to confirm that EZH2 could be a therapeutic target using chemical EZH2 inhibitors, small interfering RNAs and a CRISPR/Cas9 approach in a series of DIPG tumor cell lines and to determine underlying molecular mechanisms of action.
