Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of NF1-haploinsufficiency in human: ECACC kindred

ABSTRACT: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common monogenic tumor-predisposition disorder that arises secondary to mutations in the tumor suppressor gene NF1. Haploinsufficiency of NF1 fosters a permissive tumorigenic environment through changes in signalling between cells; however, the intracellular mechanisms for this tumor-promoting effect are less clear. We hypothesized that the genetic effects of NF1-haploinsufficiency may be discerned by comparison of genome-wide transcriptional profiling in somatic, non-tumor cells (LCLs) from NF1-affected and –unaffected individuals.

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of Nf1-haploinsufficiency in mouse

Project description:Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common monogenic tumor-predisposition disorder that arises secondary to mutations in the tumor suppressor gene NF1. Haploinsufficiency of NF1 fosters a permissive tumorigenic environment through changes in signalling between cells; however, the intracellular mechanisms for this tumor-promoting effect are less clear. We hypothesized that the genetic effects of NF1-haploinsufficiency may be discerned by comparison of genome-wide transcriptional profiling in somatic, non-tumor cells from NF1-affected and –unaffected individuals. As a cross-species filter for heterogeneity, we compared the results from two human kindreds to whole-genome transcriptional profiling in spleen-derived B-cells from age- and gender-matched Nf1+/- and wild-type mice.

Transcription profiling of human NF1 heterozygous (NF1+/-) melanocytes from a Neurofibromatosis type 1 patient and NF1 wild type (NF1+/+) melanocytes of a healthy control patient

Project description:One of the major primary features of the neurocutaneous genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 are the hyperpigmentary café-au-lait macules where dysregulation of melanocyte development, proliferation and differentiation is considered to play a key etiopathogenic role. To gain better insight in the possible role of the tumor suppressor gene NF1, a transcriptomic microarray analysis was performed on human NF1 heterozygous (NF1+/-) melanocytes of a Neurofibromatosis type 1 patient and NF1 wild type (NF1+/+) melanocytes of a healthy control patient, both cultured from normally pigmented and hyperpigmented lesional café-au-lait skin. Out of 13,850 unique genes, a total of 137 had a significant twofold or more up- (72) or down-regulated (65) expression in NF1+/- melanocytes compared to NF1+/+ melanocytes (genotype effect). Considering possible intrinsic genetic variation in lesional skin, melanocytes showed a total of 51 genes having a significant twofold or more up- (37) or down-regulated (14) expression when they were cultured from hyperpigmentary café-au-lait skin compared to normally pigmented skin (lesional skin type effect). NF1+/- café-au-lait skin melanocytes showed 468 genes with a significant two-fold or more up- (183) or down-regulated (285) expression going beyond the sum of the separate main effects (interaction). Detailed analysis enabled the identification of several modulated genes in NF1+/- (café-au-lait skin) melanocytes, mainly involved in controlling cell proliferation and cell maintenance, in cell adhesion and, surprisingly, in the immune response. An interesting finding was that a high number of transcription factor genes were differentially modulated, among which a specific subset - important in melanocyte-lineage development - showed downregulation in a transcriptional cis-regulatory network governing the activation of the melanocyte-specific dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) gene.

Molecular dissection of somatic NF1 pseudarthrosis

Project description:Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a tumor predisposition syndrome with pleiotropic somatic manifestations, including formation of bone pseudarthrosis after fracture. The pathogenesis of NF1 pseudarthroses remains unclear, though defects in osteogenesis have been posited. Here, we applied time-series single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) to patient-matched control and pseudarthrosis-derived primary bone mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). We show that osteogenesis occurs in NF1-/- MSCs. In contrast, expression of genetic pathways associated with skeletal mineralization were reduced in NF1-/- cells compared to co-cultured NF1+/- fracture-derived cells.

Molecular characterization of a series of 22 NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas

Project description:22 plexiform neurofibromas from 18 unrelated neurofibromatosis-type 1 patients were screened with a high resolution array-CGH. Each PNF DNA (somatic tumor DNA) was individually hybridized on Agilent whole human genome 244K microarrays (Platform GPL4091) using the matched genomic constitutional DNA (lymphocytes DNA) from the corresponding patient as reference, in order to detect tumor-specific aberrations.

Nf1 Deficiency Increases Mammary Collagen Deposition and Restricts Adipocyte Differentiation Before Tumor Formation

Project description:BACKGROUND: The NF1 tumor suppressor gene is the main negative regulator of the RAS pathway and is frequently mutated in various cancers. Women with Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) – a tumor predisposition syndrome caused by a germline NF1 mutation – have an increased risk of developing aggressive breast cancer with poorer prognosis. The mechanisms by which NF1 mutation leads to breast cancer tumorigenesis are not well understood. Therefore, the objective of this work was to identify stromal alterations before tumor formation that result in the increased risk and poorer outcome seen among NF1 patients with breast cancer. METHODS: To accurately model the germline monoallelic NF1 mutations in NF1 patients, we utilized an Nf1-deficient rat model with accelerated mammary development and develops highly penetrant breast cancer. RESULTS: We identified increased collagen content in Nf1-deficient rat mammary glands before tumor formation that correlated with age of tumor onset. Additionally, gene expression analysis revealed that Nf1-deficient rat mammary mature adipocytes have increased collagen expression and shifted to a fibroblast and preadipocyte expression profile. This alteration in lineage commitment was also observed with in vitro differentiation but flow cytometry analysis did not show a change mammary adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell abundance. CONCLUSION: Collectively, these studies uncovered the previously undescribed role of Nf1 in mammary collagen deposition and regulating adipocyte differentiation. In addition to unraveling the mechanism of tumor formation, further investigation of adipocytes and collagen modifications in preneoplastic mammary gland will create a foundation for developing early detection strategies of breast cancer among NF1 patients.

Stem-like cells drive NF1-associated MPNST functional heterogeneity and tumor progression

Project description:NF1-associated malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are the major cause of mortality in neurofibromatosis. MPNST arise from benign peripheral nerve plexiform neurofibromas (PN) which originate in the embryonic neural crest cell lineage. Using reporter transgenes that label early neural crest lineage cells in multiple NF1 MPNST mouse models, we discovered and characterized a rare MPNST cell population with stem cell-like properties that is essential for tumor initiation and relapse. Following isolation of these cells we derive a cancer stem cell specific gene expression signature that includes consensus embryonic neural crest genes and we also identify Nestin as a novel marker for the MPNST cell of origin. Finally, application of the mouse cancer stem cell signature to single cell sequencing data from a rare NF1-associated MPNST precursors called atypical neurofibromatosis neoplasms of uncertain biologic potential (ANNUBP), identifies preformed unsupervised gene expression cell clusters. Enrichment of the cancer stem cell signature in cognate human tumors supports the generality and relevance of cancer stem cells to therapy development.

Multiple Nf1 Schwann cell populations reprogram the plexiform neurofibroma tumor microenvironment

Project description:To define alterations early in tumor formation, we studied nerve tumors in neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a tumor predisposition syndrome in which affected individuals develop plexiform neurofibroma (PN). These benign tumors are driven by NF1 loss in Schwann cells (SC). By comparing normal nerve cells to PN cells using single cell and bulk RNA sequencing, we identified changes in five SC populations, including a de novo Schwann cell progenitor-like population. Long after Nf1 loss, SC populations developed PN-specific expression of Dcn, Postn, and CD74, and showed dramatic expansion of immune and stromal cell populations; in human PN, immune and stromal cells comprised 90% of cells. Label transfer enabled verification of each SC population and predicted tumor unique patterns of cell-cell communication in each SC population. We identified PROS-AXL, FGF-FGFR, and MIF-CD74 and its effector pathway NFkB as deregulated in NF1 SC populations, including SCP-like cells. Each receptor-ligand pair was predicted to influence surrounding cells in mouse and human. These findings highlight remarkable changes in all PN cells driven by loss of NF1 in multiple types of SCs and identify therapeutic targets for PN.

Spatial transcriptomic analysis of a pre-clinical NF1 pseudarthrosis fracture model

Project description:Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) present with fracture pseudarthroses, though the exact mechanism underlying this abnormal healing remains unknown. Here, we performed spatial transcriptomics to spatially-define the molecular signatures across endochondral healing following fracture. Integrating single-cell sequencing of patient fracture-derived primary cells, our results provide a dynamic cellular context to the molecular dysregulation associated with somatic fracture healing defects in NF1.

Selumetinib in adults with NF1 and inoperable plexiform neurofibroma

Project description:The MEK inhibitor selumetinib induces objective responses and provides clinical benefit in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). To evaluate whether similar outcomes were possible in adult patients, in whom PN growth is generally slower than in pediatric patients, an open-label phase 2 study of selumetinib in adults with NF1 PNs was conducted. Correlative analysis included extraction of RNA followed by sequencing. Samples include paired specimens collected before and on treatment.
