Project description:Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor. Though typically benign with a low mutational burden, histopathologic analysis has poor predictive value for malignant behavior and there are no proven chemotherapies. Although DNA methylation patterns distinguish subgroups of meningiomas and have higher predictive value for tumor behavior than histologic classification, little is known about differences in DNA methylation between meningiomas and surrounding normal dura tissue. Using multimodal studies of meningioma/dura pairs, we identified 4 distinct DNA methylation patterns. Diffuse DNA hypomethylation of malignant meningiomas readily facilitated their identification from lower grade tumors by unsupervised clustering. All clusters and 12/12 meningioma-dura pairs exhibited hypomethylation of the gene promoters of a module associated with the craniofacial patterning transcription factor FOXC1 and its upstream lncRNA FOXCUT. Furthermore, we identified an epigenetic continuum of increasing hypermethylation of polycomb repressive complex target promoters with increased histopathologic grade suggesting progressive epigenetic dysregulation is associated with increasing tumor aggressiveness. These findings are a starting point for future investigations of the role of epigenetic dysregulation of FOXC1 and cranial patterning genes in early stages of meningioma formation as well as studies of the utility of polycomb inhibitors for treatment of aggressive meningiomas.

Project description:RNA polymerase II mediates the transcription of all protein-coding genes in eukaryotic cells, a process that is fundamental to life. Genomic mutations in this enzyme have not been previously linked to any pathology in humans, a testament to its indispensable role in cell biology. Based on a combination of next-generation genomic analyses of 775 meningiomas, we report that recurrent somatic p.Gln403Lys or p.Leu438_His439del mutations in POLR2A, which encodes the catalytic subunit of RNA polymerase II, are sufficient to hijack this essential enzyme and drive neoplasia. POLR2A mutant tumors reveal dysregulation of key meningeal identity genes, including WNT6 and ZIC1/ZIC4. In addition to POLR2A, NF2, SMARCB1, TRAF7, KLF4, AKT1, PIK3CA and SMO, we also report somatic mutations in AKT3, PIK3R1, PRKAR1A, and SUFU in meningiomas. Our results identify a role for essential transcriptional machinery in driving tumorigenesis and define mutually exclusive meningioma subgroups with distinct clinical and pathological features. Expression microarray data from 121 total samples, including 96 tumors representing the major meningioma mutation groups (NF2/chr22 loss, POLR2A, KLF4/TRAF7, PI3K mutant, Sonic Hedgehog mutant) and 25 control samples (3 dura, 13 adult meninges, and 9 embryonic meninges).

Project description:We performed expression profiling of 24 meningioma and two dura controls analyzing 55000 transcripts including 18300 known genes. We compared expression in meningioma vs. dura, expression of low grade (WHO I) vs. higher-grade (WHO II and WHO IIII) tumors and expression of meningothelial and syncytial meningioma vs. fibroblastic meningioma. Gene expression was analysed in 24 meningioma including eight of each WHO grade and two dura controls analyzing 55000 transcripts including 18300 known genes.

Project description:Meningiomas are one of the most common adult brain tumors. For most patients, surgical excision is curative. However, up to 20% recur. Currently, the molecular determinants predicting recurrence and malignant transformation are lacking. We performed global genetic and genomic analysis of 85 meningioma samples of various grades. Copy number alterations were assessed by 100K SNP arrays and correlated with gene expression, proliferation indices, and clinical outcome. In addition to chromosome 22q loss, which was detected in the majority of clinical samples, chromosome 18q and 6q loss significantly predicted recurrence and was associated with anaplastic histology. Five "classes" of meningiomas were detected by gene expression analysis that correlated with copy number alterations, recurrence risk, and malignant histology. These classes more accurately predicted tumor recurrence than Ki-67 index, the gold standard for determining risk of recurrence, and highlight substantial expression heterogeneity between meningiomas. These data offer the most complete description of the genomic landscape of meningiomas and provide a set of tools that could be used to more accurately stratify meningioma patients into prognostic risk groups. Tumor biopsies from 53 female and 32 male subjects with sporadic meningioma were identified from the UCLA Neuro-oncology Program Tissue Bank through institutional review board approved protocols. 57 tumors were designated "benign" WHO I, 20 tumors were "atypical" WHO II, and 8 were "anaplastic" WHO III. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions on DNA extracted from flash frozen meningioma tumors.
