Project description:High-grade gliomas are malignant neuroepithelial tumors. The current WHO classification for adult-type diffuse gliomas is based on IDH1/2 mutational and 1p/19q-codeletion status, which can be refined by emerging genomics, transcriptomics, and methylomics approaches. Nevertheless, therapy has been dominated by radiochemotherapy for about 15 years and progressed little in efficacy or precision through advanced molecular patient stratification. Glioma proteome alterations remain undercharacterized despite their promise for a better stratification and, in particular, the identification of therapeutic targets. Here, we used mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize 42 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from IDH-wildtype (IDHwt), IDH-mutant (IDHmut) gliomas with and without 1p/19q-codeletion, and non-neoplastic brain tissue controls. Based on more than 5500 quantified proteins and 5000 phospho-sites, gliomas separated according to IDH1/2 mutational status and reflected loss of proteins encoded on 1p/19q in IDHmut, gains on chromosome 7 and losses on chromosome 10 in IDHwt. Unexpectedly, the 1p/19q-codeletion resulted in minor proteome changes. Instead, two proteomic subtypes of IDHmut gliomas showed major perturbations of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins, aerobic/anaerobic energy metabolism, RNA metabolism, chromatin dynamics, the extracellular matrix as well as tumor suppressor and oncoproteins. Reanalysis of three glioma proteomics studies independently validate the observed hallmarks and associate these proteomic subtypes with the well-established proneural and classic/mesenchymal IDHwt glioma subtypes. These results suggest an alternative stratification of IDHmut gliomas as part of common phenotypic subtypes independent of the IDH status, with broad therapeutic implications for patients with IDHmut gliomas in the future. Altogether, our study provides a rich protein and phospho-site resource restratifying glioma subtypes and supporting future mechanism of action and target discovery investigations.

Project description:The outcome of patients with anaplastic gliomas varies considerably depending on histology and single molecular markers such as codeletion of 1p/19q and mutations of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene. Whether a molecularly-based classification of anaplastic gliomas based on large scale genomic or epigenomic analyses is superior to histopathology, may reflect distinct biological subtypes, predict outcome and guide therapy decisions had yet to be determined. Epigenome-wide DNA methylation analysis, which also allows for the detection of copy-number aberrations, was performed in a cohort of 228 patients with anaplastic gliomas (astrocytomas, oligoastrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas), including 115 patients of the NOA-04 trial. We further compared these tumors with a group of 55 glioblastomas. Unsupervised clustering demonstrated two main groups based on IDH mutation status: CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) positive (77.5%) or negative (22.5%). CIMP+ (IDH mutant) tumors showed a further separation based on copy-number status of chromosome arms 1p and 19q, but not based on histopathology. CIMP- (IDH wild type) tumors on the other hand showed hallmark copy-number alterations of glioblastomas. These tumors clustered together with CIMP- glioblastomas without forming separate groups based on WHO grade. There was no Tumor classification based on CIMP and 1p/19q status was significantly associated with survival allowing a better prediction of outcome than the current histopathological classification alone: Patients with CIMP+ tumors with 1p/19q codeletion had the best prognosis, followed by patients with CIMP+ but intact 1p/19q status. Patients with CIMP- anaplastic gliomas had the worst prognosis. Collectively, our data suggest that anaplastic gliomas can be grouped into three molecular subtypes with clear association to underlying biology and clinical outcome based on IDH and 1p/19q status. The data do not provide a molecular basis for the diagnosis of anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. We investigated a subset of 228 anaplastic gliomas using the Illumina 450k methylation array.

Project description:Glial cell-derived brain tumors (gliomas) are devastating diseases without effective curative therapies. Gliomas are classified according to various schemes including the cancer-initiating cell type, World Health Organization tumor grades, and genetic markers such as Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations and chromosomal 1p/19q codeletion status. Genomics, transcriptomics and methylomics approaches are emerging as powerful means to refine classification. However, various aspects of cancer biology are solely reflected on the proteomelevel. Here, we employ mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize the proteomes and phospho-proteomes of IDHmut glioma entities with and without 1p/19q codeletion, IDHwt gliomas and control tissue from a total of 42 patients. Our data-dependent acquisition MS workflow on average quantifies more than 5000 proteins and 3000 phospho-sites per sample of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brain sections. The tumor proteomes reflected genetic alterations such as the loss of chromosome 1p/19q proteins, the loss of ATRX in non-codeletion IDHmut glioma, and the frequent loss and amplification of chromosomes 10 and 7, respectively,in IDH-wild type glioma. Nevertheless, 1p/19q codeletion status was not the major determinant of IDHmut glioma proteomes. Instead, the proteome profiles suggest an alternative classification of IDHmut gliomas that correlates with the loss of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins, the abundance of respiratory chain proteins, a distinct tumor suppressor and oncoprotein profile, an extracellular matrix signature, and alterations in the phospho-proteome. Moreover, the glioma association of numerous proteins implicated in other cancers by this dataset provides a resource for further mechanistic investigation of glioma genesis and progression.

Project description:Purpose: The most clearly established genetic hallmark in oligodendroglial tumors (OTs) is the combined loss of 1p/19q, a molecular alteration characteristic of tumors responding to therapy. Markers of tumoral progression have not yet been studied. Experimental Design: Novel markers of tumoral progression in OTs were sought through gene expression profiling analysis. Results: Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis classified OTs into two main groups associated with tumoral grade, independent of histological subtype and 1p/19q status. Differential gene expression analysis between low- and high-grade OTs revealed that only cell cycle-related genes were significantly upregulated in high-grade OTs. Among the deregulated genes, NDRG2 downregulation was detected in high-grade OTs with combined loss of 1p/19q. Expression analysis revealed low transcript levels of NDRG2 relative to non-tumoral brain tissue in 45% (9/20) of high-grade OTs. Furthermore, the low transcript levels of NDRG2 were significantly associated with a worse clinical outcome in patients. Transcript levels of NDRG2 were associated with promoter hypermethylation, which was detected in 38.4% (10/26) of high-grade OTs. The treatment of glioma cell lines T98 and LN18 with demethylating agents increased the mRNA expression levels of NDRG2 relative to the control cell line. Additionally, cell proliferation was significantly reduced and cell cycle was arrested in G1 phase after treatment with demethylating agents. Conclusions: Taken together, our results suggest that NDRG2 is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in OTs whose inactivation could be involved in tumoral progression and worse patient survival.

The microarray study involved 28 glioma samples including oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas WHO grade II and III. Six non-tumoral brain tissues were used as controls, two of which were purchased from Stratagene (La Jolla, CA) and Clontech (Mountain View, CA). RNAs from several cell lines (Universal Human RNA, Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) was used as a standard reference in all hybridizations

Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net: Oligodendroglial tumours (OT) are a heterogeneous group of gliomas. Three molecular subgroups are currently distinguished based on the IDH mutation and the 1p/19q co-deletion. Here we performed an integrated analysis of the transcriptome, genome and methylome of 156 OT. Beyond the 3 well-known molecular classes, our multi-omics classification revealed 3 subgroups within 1p/19q co-deleted tumours, associated with different expression patterns of oligodendroglial progenitor cell (OPC), astrocytic, oligodendrocytic and neuronal lineage genes. The validity of these 3 subgroups was confirmed on public datasets. The OPC-like group was associated with a more aggressive histological and genomic profile and with MYC activation that occurred through various alterations including MYC locus genomic gain, MYC exon 3 hypo-methylation and down-regulation of microRNA-34b/c. In the lower grade glioma TCGA dataset, the OPC-like group was associated with a poorer outcome independently from histological grade. Our study unravels previously unrecognized heterogeneity among 1p/19q co-deleted tumours.
