Germline Mutations in TMEM127 Confer Susceptibility to Pheochromocytoma

ABSTRACT: Pheochromocytomas, catecholamine-secreting tumors of neural crest origin, are frequently hereditary. However, the molecular basis of the majority of these tumors is unknown. We identified the transmembrane-encoding gene TMEM127 on chromosome 2q11 as a new pheochromocytoma susceptibility gene. In a cohort of 103 samples, we detected truncating germline TMEM127 mutations in approximately 30% of familial tumors and about 3% of sporadic-appearing pheochromocytomas without a known genetic cause. The wild-type allele was consistently deleted in tumor DNA, suggesting a classic mechanism of tumor suppressor gene inactivation. Pheochromocytomas with mutations in TMEM127 are transcriptionally related to tumors bearing NF1 mutations and, similarly, show hyperphosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) effector proteins. Accordingly, in vitro gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses indicate that TMEM127 is a negative regulator of mTOR. TMEM127 dynamically associates with the endomembrane system and colocalizes with perinuclear (activated) mTOR, suggesting a subcompartmental-specific effect. Our studies identify TMEM127 as a tumor suppressor gene and validate the power of hereditary tumors to elucidate cancer pathogenesis.

Transcription profiling of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (188 tumor samples)

Project description:A Cartes d'Identité des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) | Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 : 188 tumor samples |Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors occuring in the context of inherited cancer syndromes in approximately 30% of cases, linked to germline mutations in VHL, RET, NF1, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2 or TMEM127 genes. Although progress has been made with regard to tumorigenesis mechanisms in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma thanks to genome-wide expression studies, the question of a putative molecular distinction between VHL- and SDHx- on one hand, and RET- and NF1-related tumors on the other hand, remained to be addressed as well as the characterization of genetic events in sporadic tumors. With this purpose, 202 pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas, including 75 hereditary tumors, were investigated by expression profiling, array CGH and somatic mutation screening. The systematic characterization of somatic genetic events associated with tumor suppressor gene germline mutations in tumor tissues reveals a majority of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) but also point mutations and copy neutral LOH. Gene-expression signature defined the hereditary tumors according to their genotype. Especially, a complete sub-separation between SDHx- and VHL-related tumors was observed. Moreover, guided by the transcriptome classification and the LOH profile, somatic mutations in VHL or RET genes were identified in 14% of sporadic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas. A genetic cause was found in 45.5% (92/202) of the large series of pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas analyzed. Regarding mutated genes, specific molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis mechanisms are showed. Altogether, these new findings suggest that somatic mutation analysis would give important clues for personalized molecular target therapies.

Epigenome analysis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma samples (II)

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma samples carrying different mutations. The Illumina Infinium EPIC Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. The main goal of this project was to find specific methylation profiles associated to the presence of mutations in the different genetic sub-classes of pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas.

A large germline alteration affecting MAX and FUT8, causing familial bilateral malignant pheochromocytoma and renal oncocytoma

Project description:Familial pheochromocytoma (PCC) has been associated with germline mutations in 14 genes. Here we investigated three siblings, who presented with (metastatic) bilateral pheochromocytomas, renal oncocytoma, and erythrocytosis. By SNP-array on one patient’s germline DNA a large complex genomic alteration was identified encompassing the intragenic and promoter regions of Myc-Associated Factor X (MAX) and alpha-(1,6)-fucosyltransferase (FUT8). The alteration was confirmed in all patients, as well as loss of the wild type MAX and FUT8 alleles and corresponding loss of protein expression. Uniparental disomy of chromosome 14q, previously demonstrated as a hallmark for MAX-related PCC, was also shown in the index patient by SNP-array. Our results indicate that large genomic deletions of MAX should be considered in familial and bilateral PCC with prior negative testing for gene mutations. In addition, MAX appears to be a new tumor suppressor gene for renal oncocytomas. SNP array was performed for 2 samples: 1 tumor DNA sample and 1 corresponding germline DNA sample

Expression Profiling of pheochromocytomas of various genetic origins

Project description:Pheochromocytomas are neural crest-derived tumors that arise from inherited or sporadic mutations in at least six independent genes: RET, VHL, NF1, and subunits B, C and D of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). The proteins encoded by these multiple genes regulate distinct functions. To identify molecular interactions between the distinct pathways we performed expression profiling of a large cohort of pheochromocytomas. We show here a functional link between tumors with VHL mutations and those with disruption of the genes encoding for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunits B (SDHB) and D (SDHD). A transcription profile of reduced oxidoreductase is detected in all three of these tumor types, together with an angiogenesis/hypoxia profile typical of VHL dysfunction. The oxidoreductase defect, not previously detected in VHL-null tumors, is explained by suppression of the SDHB protein, a component of mitochondrial complex II. The decrease in SDHB is also noted in tumors with SDHD mutations. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses show that the link between hypoxia signals (via VHL) and mitochondrial signals (via SDH) is mediated by HIF1?. These findings explain the shared features of pheochromocytomas with VHL and SDH mutations and suggest an additional mechanism for increased HIF1? activity in tumors.

Oxygen sensitive regulation of TFAM linking the von Hippel-Lindau cancer syndrome to impaired mitochondrial biogenesis

Project description:The major consumers of oxygen in the cell are mitochondria. Here we identified an oxygen-sensitive regulation of TFAM, a key activator of mitochondrial transcription and replication. TFAM is hydroxylated by EglN3 on proline 53/56 and subsequently bound by the tumor suppressor von Hippel Lindau (pVHL). pVHL binding stabilizes TFAM by preventing mitochondrial LON proteolysis. Cells lacking wild-type VHL or in which EglN3 was inactivated genetically or by lack of oxygen have reduced mitochondria. All VHL cancer syndrome mutations tested, type 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, failed to bind hydroxylated TFAM, regardless of whether they have the ability to bind hydroxylated HIFa or not. In contrast, VHL-R200W polycythemia-mutation bound hydroxylated TFAM similar as wild-type VHL. VHL-R200W causes polycythemia with total absence of tumor development, despite increased HIFa signaling. Tumors of VHL related malignancies such as pheochromocytoma and renal carcinoma cells show low mitochondrial content, implicating that impaired mitochondrial biogenesis is linked to the malignancies of the VHL hereditary cancer syndrome.
