Project description:We compared molecular characteristics of primary and recurrent pediatric ependymoma to identify sub-group specific differences. Gene expression profiles were used to identify unique immunobiologic sub-types of posterior fossa pediatric ependymoma. Gene expression profiles were generated from surgical tumor (ependymoma) (n=65) using Affymetrix HG-U133plus2 chips (Platform GPL570). Normalization was performed on our entire cohort of ependymoma. Of the 65 samples, a sub-set of 58 were used in the corresponding manuscript. Excluded samples are noted. Gene expression profiles were filtered to obtain gene expression of key immune cell markers. Comparative analyses between tumor samples were used to identifiy unique immunobiology between posterior fossa sub-groups.

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.

Project description:Ependymoma, the 3rd most common brain tumor in children, recurs in approximately 50% of patients. There is currently no robust marker that predicts for recurrence, which is a significant clinical problem We used global gene expression profiling of 19 patient surgical samples obtained at initial diagnosis and with known clinical outcomes to discover novel prognostic markers.

Project description:Purpose: Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a distinct histological variant of ependymoma arising commonly in the spinal cord. Despite an overall favorable prognosis, distant metastases, subarachnoid dissemination, and late recurrences have been reported. Currently the only effective treatment for MPE is gross-total resection. We characterized the genomic and transcriptional landscape of spinal ependymomas in an effort to delineate the genetic basis of this disease and identify new leads for therapy. Experimental Design: Gene expression profiling was performed on 35 spinal ependymomas. Functional validation experiments were performed on tumour lysates consisting of assays measuring Pyruvate Kinase M activity (PKM), Hexokinase activity (HK), and lactate production. Results: At a gene expression level, we demonstrate that spinal Grade II and MPE are molecularly and biologically distinct. These findings are supported by specific copy number alterations occurring in each histological variant. Pathway analysis revealed that MPE are characterized by increased cellular metabolism, associated with up-regulation of HIF-1α. These findings were validated by western blot analysis demonstrating increased protein expression of HIF-1α, HK2, PDK1, and phosphorylation of PDHE1A. Functional assays were performed on MPE lysates, which demonstrated decreased PKM activity, increased HK activity, and elevated lactate production. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that MPE may be driven by a Warburg metabolic phenotype. The key enzymes promoting the Warburg phenotype: HK2, PKM2, and PDK are targetable by small molecule inhibitors/activators, and should be considered for evaluation in future clinical trials for MPE. RNA from 35 primary spinal ependymomas (fresh frozen) were isolated by pulverization in liquid nitrogen, and extraction using the Trizol Method (Invitrogen) [PMID:21840481]

Project description:Pediatric ependymoma has relatively low frequencies of DNA mutations, which suggest that epigenetics may drive tumors. However, the epigenetic mechanisms for recurrent ependymoma are still poorly understood. Here, we performed longitudinal and comprehensive DNA methylation and gene expression analysis for recurrent pediatric ependymoma tumors from 10 patients, total 46 DNA methylomes (including primary tumors and matched recurrent tumors; normal pediatric brain tissues and PDOX tumors). Both RELA and PFA tumors maintained the subtype DNA methylation signatures during repeated relapses. We further identified the potential DNA methylation predictors, drivers and boosters and their potential regulated genes for recurrent ependymoma tumors. Increased DNA methylation levels within H3K4me1 enriched regions indicates disturbed functions of LSD1 gene in recurrent ependymoma tumors. Combining novel LSD1 inhibitor SYC-836 with radiation (XRT) significantly prolonged animal survival times in PDOX models of recurrent PFA ependymoma. Our PDOX models provide a unique platform for preclinical testing drugs and development of new therapy for pediatric recurrent ependymoma.
