Project description:Purpose: This study was conducted to identify novel genes with importance to the biology of adult acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Conclusions: NF1 null states are present in 7/95=7% of adult AML and delineate a disease subset that could be preferentially targeted by Ras or mTOR-directed therapeutics. Experimental design: We analyzed DNA from highly purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells from 95 patients for recurrent genomic microdeletions using ultra-high density Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling. 006, 096 and 136 normal Samples have been excluded from study.

Project description:White matter abnormalities have been observed in Neurofiromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients and in mouse models of the disease, and disturbed myelin has been proposed to cause of neurological issues in NF1 patients. Analysis of the transcriptional changes following inactivation of Nf1 in mature oligodendrocytes, the cell type producing myelin, can give information on the molecular pathways affected in NF1. Homozygous inactivation of Nf1 was induced by Tamoxifen treatment of adult PlpCreER;Nf1flox/flox mice, 1 month later, RNA from the optic nerve was isolated and sequenced

Project description:This study was conducted to identify novel genes with importance to the biology of adult acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).We analyzed DNA from highly purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells from 95 patients for recurrent genomic microdeletions using ultra-high density Affymetrix single nucleotide polymorphism 6.0 array-based genomic profiling.Through fine mapping of microdeletions on 17q, we derived a minimal deleted region of approximately 0.9-Mb length that harbors 11 known genes; this region includes Neurofibromin 1 (NF1). Sequence analysis of all NF1 coding exons in the 11 AML cases with NF1 copy number changes identified acquired truncating frameshift mutations in two patients. These NF1 mutations were already present in the hematopoetic stem cell compartment. Subsequent expression analysis of NF1 mRNA in the entire AML cohort using fluorescence-activated cell sorting sorted blasts as a source of RNA identified six patients (one with a NF1 mutation) with absent NF1 expression. The NF1 null states were associated with increased Ras-bound GTP, and short hairpin RNA-mediated NF1 suppression in primary AML blasts with wild-type NF1 facilitated colony formation in methylcellulose. Primary AML blasts without functional NF1, unlike blasts with functional NF1, displayed sensitivity to rapamycin-induced apoptosis, thus identifying a dependence on mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling for survival. Finally, colony formation in methylcellulose ex vivo of NF1 null CD34+/CD38- cells sorted from AML bone marrow samples was inhibited by low-dose rapamycin.NF1 null states are present in 7 of 95 (7%) of adult AML and delineate a disease subset that could be preferentially targeted by Ras or mammalian target of rapamycin-directed therapeutics.

Project description:Recurrent gene mutations, chromosomal translocations, acquired genomic copy number aberrations (aCNA) and copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity (cnLOH) underlie the genomic pathogenesis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Genomic lesion types from all of these categories have been variously associated with AML patient outcome. However, the patterns of co-occurrence of such lesions are only now beginning to be defined, and we seek to further delineate the relative influence of different types of genomic alterations on clinical outcomes in AML. In this study, we performed SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling of aCNA/cnLOH along with sequence analysis of 13 recurrently mutated genes on purified leukemic blast DNA from 156 prospectively enrolled non-FAB-M3 AML patients across the clinical spectrum of de novo, secondary, and therapy-related AML. We identify positive and negative associations of gene mutations, specific aCNA/cnLOH or total aCNA/cnLOH counts with different AML types as well as the associations of specific mutations with overall genomic complexity or genomic stability. Further, we show that NPM1, RUNX1, ASXL1 and TP53 mutations, elevated SNP-A-based genomic complexity, and specific recurrent aCNAs predict response to induction chemotherapy. Finally, results of comprehensive multivariate analyses support a dominant role for TP53 mutations or elevated genomic complexity as predictors of short survival in AML. Integrated genomic profiling of a clinically relevant adult AML population reveals the interplay between gene mutations, recurrent aCNAs, and SNP-A-based genomic complexity and identifies among them the genomic characteristics most associated with types of response to intensive induction therapies and with shortened overall survival. This study is based on 156 patients with previously untreated AML for which paired tumor and normal samples were available. The patients were enrolled into this study at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board (IRBMED #2004-1022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment. Genomic DNA was extracted from purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells. DNA thus obtained was hybridized to Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays.

Project description:The NF1 tumor suppressor encodes a RAS GTPase-Activating Protein (RasGAP). Accordingly, deregulated RAS signaling underlies the pathogenesis of NF1-mutant cancers. However, while various RAS effector pathways have been shown to function in these tumors, it is currently unclear which specific proteins within these broad signaling pathways represent optimal therapeutic targets. Here we identify mTORC1 as the key PI3K pathway component in NF1-mutant nervous system malignancies and conversely show that mTORC2 and AKT are dispensable. We also report that combined mTORC1/MEK inhibition is required to promote tumor regression in animal models, but only when the inhibition of both pathways is sustained. Transcriptional profiling studies were also used to establish a predictive signature of effective mTORC1/MEK inhibition in vivo. Within this signature, we unexpectedly found that the glucose transporter gene, GLUT1, was potently suppressed but only when both pathways were effectively inhibited. Moreover, unlike VHL and LKB1 mutant cancers, reduction of 18F-FDG uptake measured by FDG-PET required the effective suppression of both mTORC1 and MEK. Together these studies identify optimal and sub-optimal therapeutic targets in NF1-mutant malignancies and define a non-invasive means of measuring combined mTORC1/MEK inhibition in vivo, which can be readily incorporated into clinical trials. 8 samples, in duplicate, 2X vehicle, 2X Rapamycin, 2X PD-0325901, 2X Rapamycin/PD-0325901

Project description:The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) plays an oncogenic role in several cancers. However, loss-of-function mutations in PRC2 components have been detected in a subset of hematopoietic malignancies, suggesting that different epigenetic landscapes are required in different tumor types. In this study we provide genomic, cellular, and mouse modeling data to demonstrate that loss-of-function mutations in the polycomb gene, SUZ12, and NF1 cooperate in peripheral nervous system tumors, glioblastomas, and melanomas. NF1 encodes a Ras GTPase-activating protein and its loss triggers moderate levels of Ras activation. We show that SUZ12-loss enhances the effects of NF1 mutations, in part, by amplifying Ras transcriptional signatures. Moreover, SUZ12-loss triggers an epigenetic switch that confers sensitivity to combined bromodomain and MEK inhibitors in vivo. Collectively these studies demonstrate an unexpected role for polycomb group genes in NF1 mutant tumors and reveal an epigenetic-based therapeutic strategy that may be exploited for a variety of cancers. 9 samples in triplicates, 3x LacZ control, 3x SUZ12 over expression, 3x JQ1 treatment

Project description:Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a multi-system disease caused by mutations in the NF1 gene encoding a Ras-GAP protein, neurofibromin, which negatively regulates Ras signalling. Besides neuroectodermal malformations and tumours, the skeletal system is often affected (e.g. scoliosis and long bone dysplasia), demonstrating the importance of neurofibromin for development and maintenance of the musculoskeletal system. Here we focus on the role of neurofibromin in skeletal muscle development. Nf1 gene inactivation in the early limb bud mesenchyme using Prx1-cre (Nf1Prx1) resulted in muscle dystrophy characterised by fibrosis, reduced number of muscle fibres, and reduced muscle force. To gain insight into the molecular changes of the observed muscle dystrophy and fibrosis and to compare these with other known muscle dystrophies, we performed transcriptional profiling of the entire triceps muscles of threemonth-old wild type (wt) and mutant animals using Affymetrix high-density microrrays. We analyzed triceps muscles from 4 three-month-old wt controls and 4 three-month-old Nf1Prx1 mice using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by the Affymetrix Exon Array Computational Tool. RNA isolated from each animal was hybridized to a separate microarray.
