Project description:Origins of the brain tumor, medulloblastoma, from stem cells or restricted pro-genitor cells are unclear. To investigate this, we activated oncogenic Hedgehog signaling in multipotent and lineage-restricted CNS progenitors. We observed that normal unipo-tent cerebellar granule neuron precursors (CGNP) derive from hGFAP+ and Olig2+ rhombic lip progenitors. Hedgehog activation in a spectrum of early and late stage CNS progenitors generated similar medulloblastomas, but not other brain cancers, indicating that acquisition of CGNP identity is essential for tumorigenesis. We show in human and mouse medulloblastoma that cells expressing the glia-associated markers Gfap and Olig2 are neoplastic and that they retain features of embryonic-type granule lineage progenitors. Thus, oncogenic Hedgehog signaling promotes medulloblastoma from lineage-restricted granule cell progenitors.

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to stimulate proliferation of granule neuron precursor cells (GNPs) in the cerebellum. Deregulation of Shh target genes often results in unrestrained GNP proliferation and eventually medulloblastoma (MB), the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Gene expression profiling was coupled with transcription factor binding location analysis to determine the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and medulloblastoma cells. We detected significant overlap, as well as differences, in the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and MBs. We determined the presence of gene expression in each dataset. There were 9260 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG GNPs and 9185 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/- tumors; 8691 of which are in common. The large overlap is consistent with the cellular origin of these tumors. When the genes detectably expressed were intersected with our binding data, there were only 132 putative Gli1 target genes shared by both cell populations. Due to the heightened activation of the Hh pathway in tumors relative to GNPs, we further deduced direct Gli1 target genes exclusive to tumors by determining significantly induced genes in tumors versus in Ptc+/- GNPs. We identified at least 116 tumor-specific Gli1 target genes. These data suggest that tumor formation is accompanied by a tremendous change in the battery of Gli target genes. Presence of gene expression was determined for all samples: Gli1-FLAG-expressing GNPs, Ptc+/- GNPs, and Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/-medulloblastomas. These datasets were intersected with chIP-chip data to determine potential direct Gli1 target genes. Differential gene expression was determined by comparing expression profiles from medulloblastoma tumors to those from Ptc+/- GNPs.

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to stimulate proliferation of granule neuron precursor cells (GNPs) in the cerebellum. Deregulation of Shh target genes often results in unrestrained GNP proliferation and eventually medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Transcription factor binding location analysis (chIP-chip) revealed 510 and 1,060 genomic loci bound by Gli1 with high confidence in murine GNP and medulloblastoma cells, respectively. In primary tumors, Gli1 associated with only one-third of the Gli1-bound regions in GNPs. Gene expression profiling, coupled with our binding results, indicated that there were more than one hundred target genes in common between the two cell populations, and importantly, there was an equivalent number of tumor-specific targets. These results indicate that the transformation of normal GNPs into deadly tumor cells is accompanied by some changes in the battery of genes regulated by Gli1.

Project description:Group 3 medulloblastoma is often associated with MYC amplification or overexpression, while whether MYC overexpression alone is sufficient to induce tumorigenesis is unknown and the cell type(s) which can be transformed by MYC is unclear. Here, by generating a new mouse model, we demonstrated that overexpression of Myc alone is sufficient to transform astrocyte progenitors and granule neuron progenitors (GNP) in the early postnatal cerebellum following orthotopic transplantation. The resulting tumors resemble human Group 3 medulloblastoma in terms of both histology and gene expression profiles. Using these models we found that inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) significantly reduced both murine and human MYC-driven tumor growth, but did not affect SHH medulloblastoma, indicating that LDHA is potential and specific therapeutic target for MYC-driven medulloblastoma.

Project description:Medulloblastoma encompasses a collection of clinically and molecularly diverse tumor subtypes that together comprise the most common malignant childhood brain tumor. These tumors are thought to arise within the cerebellum, with approximately 25% originating from granule neuron precursor cells (GNPCs) following aberrant activation of the Sonic Hedgehog pathway (hereafter, SHH-subtype). The pathological processes that drive heterogeneity among the other medulloblastoma subtypes are not known, hindering the development of much needed new therapies. Here, we provide evidence that a discrete subtype of medulloblastoma that contains activating mutations in the WNT pathway effector CTNNB1 (hereafter, WNT-subtype), arises outside the cerebellum from cells of the dorsal brainstem. We found that genes marking human WNT-subtype medulloblastomas are more frequently expressed in the lower rhombic lip (LRL) and embryonic dorsal brainstem than in the upper rhombic lip (URL) and developing cerebellum. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intra-operative reports showed that human WNT-subtype tumors infiltrate the dorsal brainstem, while SHH-subtype tumors are located within the cerebellar hemispheres. Activating mutations in Ctnnb1 had little impact on progenitor cell populations in the cerebellum, but caused the abnormal accumulation of cells on the embryonic dorsal brainstem that included aberrantly proliferating Zic1+ precursor cells. These lesions persisted in all mutant adult mice and in 15% of cases in which Tp53 was concurrently deleted, progressed to form medulloblastomas that recapitulated the anatomy and gene expression profiles of human WNT-subtype medulloblastoma. We provide the first evidence that subtypes of medulloblastoma have distinct cellular origins. Our data provide an explanation for the marked molecular and clinical differences between SHH and WNT-subtype medulloblastomas and have profound implications for future research and treatment of this important childhood cancer. A total of 16 samples are analyzed, repsresenting 4 experimental groups: Ctnnb1 medulloblastoma (3 samples); Ptch1 medulloblastoma (6 samples); embryonic dorsal brainstem (4 samples); and postnatal granule neuron precursor cells (3 samples). Every sample was prepared from a different mouse.
