Methylome from liquid biopsy cell-free DNA using enzymatic conversion of unmethylated cysteines

ABSTRACT: Methylome of tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged as a powerful non-invasive technique for cancer subtyping and prognosis. However, its application is frequently hampered by the quality and total cfDNA yield. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of very low-input cfDNA for whole-methylome and copy-number profiling studies using enzymatic conversion of unmethylated cysteines (EMSEQ) to better preserve DNA integrity. We demonstrate that cfDNA methylation of our cohort was comparable with in situ cohorts and built a model that accurately predict MYCN amplification or 11q deletion in validation cohorts. RASSF1A methylation precedes this divergent methylome signature, supporting common and different epigenetic origins. After stratification by 11q, eight CpG methylations show additional prognostic value and two reveal known preclinical targets (CSF1R, CCR7). Methylation in CSF1R and CCR7 associated with differential expression levels and poorer prognosis. Noteworthy, haploinsufficiency of genes located on 11q that repair DNA double-strand breaks display reduced expression by a mechanism independent of promoter methylation. Conclusions: RASSF1A is an early hypermethylation defect that may predispose to later genetic and epigenetic alterations specific to MYCN-amplified or 11q-deleted high-risk neuroblastomas. CSF1R and CCR7 hypermethylation are a hallmark of high-risk 11q-deleted neuroblastomas that could be exploited therapeutically with immunomodulators to override immunosupression and relapse. Our novel findings provide support for use of liquid biopsy as an optimal strategy to assess methylomes of neuroblastoma patients for a precision medicine approach.

Genome-wide plasma cell-free DNA methylation profiling in lung cancer patients using MeDIP-seq

Project description:As a non-invasive blood testing, the detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation in plasma is raising increasing interest due to its diagnostic and biology applications. Although extensively used in cfDNA methylation analysis, bisulfite sequencing is less cost-effective. Through enriching methylated cfDNA fragments with MeDIP followed by deep sequencing, we aimed to characterize cfDNA methylome in cancer patients. In this study, we investigated the cfDNA methylation patterns in lung cancer patients by MeDIP-seq. MEDIPS package was used for the identification of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between patients and normal ones. Overall, we identified 330 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in gene promoter regions, 33 hypermethylation and 297 hypomethylation respectively, by comparing lung cancer patients and healthy individuals as controls. The 33 hypermethylation regions represent 32 genes. Some of the genes had been previously reported to be associated with lung cancers, such as GAS7, AQP10, HLF, CHRNA9 and HOPX. Taken together, our study provided an alternative method of cfDNA methylation analysis in lung cancer patients with potential clinical applications.

Effects of re-expressed RASSF1A on gene expression in rhabdoid tumor of the kidney cells.

Project description:Several groups reported the correlation between hypermethylation of RASSF1A and aggressiveness or a poor outcome in various pediatric tumors, including Wilms tumor. In addition, it is known that the overexpression of RASSF1A promotes apoptotic cell cycle arrest and reduces the tumorigenicity. In an attempt to identify epigenetic targets related to the biological features of rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK), we analyzed the methylation level of the RASSF1A gene in RTK. RASSF1A promoter region in RTK is hypermethylated and the gene and protein expression levels were low. To examine the effect of re-expression of RASSF1A in RTK cells from the viewpoint of gene expression, we performed micro array analysis. We observed neither clear apoptosis induction nor cell-cycle arrest in RASSF1A-expressed RTK cell lines. Furthermore, the geneexpression profiling induced by RASSF1A expression in RTK cell line is curious, and CDK6 expression was significantly increased while CDKN2A expression was significantly decreased after RASSF1A expression. The changes in the gene expression profile that we observed in RTK cells after RASSF1A expression may not be causative events involving the suppression of cell proliferation, but rather antagonizingevents reflecting cellular responses against RASSF1A expression in RTK cells that are deficient in SMARCB1.

DNA methylation data from 58 primary neuroblastomas

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of primary neuroblastomas. The Illumina 450k methylation array was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,000 CpGs in 58 neuroblastomas. Data were analyzed with regard to differential methylation at ATRX and DAXX loci in relation to genomic MYCN, TERT and ATRX status, presence of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) and TERT expression. The analysis is part of the study: A mechanistic classification of clinical phenotypes in neuroblastoma (Ackermann et al., 2018)

Retinoic acid rewires the adrenergic core regulatory circuitry of neuroblastoma but can be subverted by enhancer hijacking of MYC or MYCN (CUT&RUN-Seq)

Project description:Neuroblastoma cell identity depends on a core regulatory circuit (CRC) of transcription factors that incorporate MYCN to drive the oncogenic gene expression program. For neuroblastomas dependent on the adrenergic CRC, treatment with retinoids can inhibit cell growth and induce differentiation in both primary neuroblastomas and cell lines; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that when MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas cells are treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), they undergo modifications of histone H3K27 acetylation and methylation that decommission super-enhancers driving the expression of PHOX2B and GATA3, together with the activation of new super-enhancers that drive high levels of expression of MEIS1, HIC1 and SOX4. These findings indicate that treatment with ATRA can reprogram the enhancer landscape to collapse the adrenergic CRC, which downregulates MYCN expression, while upregulating a new “retino-sympathetic” CRC that causes proliferative arrest and sympathetic differentiation. Thus, we provide mechanisms that account for the beneficial effects of retinoids against high-risk neuroblastoma and explain the rapid downregulation of expression of MYCN despite massive levels of gene amplification.

Transcription profiling of human neuroblastoma genes by combining genomic and expression microarrays: expression data set

Project description:Gene expression analysis was performed on 30 Neuroblastomas to identify genes whose transcription is significantly altered by recurrent chromosomal alterations. Genomic copy number losses and gains had been delineated in the tumours using FISH and SNP arrays. We have identified genes significantly altered by 7 recurrent alterations: 1p, 3p, 4p, 10q and 11q loss, 2p and 17q gain, and genes co-amplified and over-expressed as a result of MYCN amplification. Identifying genes whose expression is consistently altered by chromosomal gains or losses is an important step in defining genes of biological relevance in a wide variety of tumour types. However, additional criteria are needed to discriminate further among the large number of candidate genes identified. This is particularly true for neuroblastoma, where multiple genomic copy number changes of proven prognostic value exist. We have used Affymetrix microarrays and a combination of fluorescent in-situ hybridisation and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays to establish expression profiles and delineate copy number alterations in 30 primary neuroblastomas. Experiment Overall Design: 30 neuroblastomas were obtained from patients of all stages (10 patients - stage 1, 2, 3 or 4s disease, 20 patients - stage 4 disease). RNA samples were extracted and analysed using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Patient were treated according to the United Kingdom Childrenâs Cancer Study Group [UKCCSG], European Neuroblastoma Study Group and Localised Neuroblastoma European Study Group protocols.

Analysis of RNA-seq of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model and in other neuroblastoma models

Project description:To confirm the neuroblastomas (NB) identity of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model (CHNBs) we characterized their gene expression profiles by RNA-Seq (CHNBs MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=8). For a global comparison of gene expression profiles of CHNBs with other NB models, we further collected RNA-seq data from patient derived xenografts of neuroblastoma (PDX NBs ; MYCNamp+ALKwt PDX; n=2, and MYCNamp+ALKF1174L PDX; n=3), neuroblastomas from genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM NBs; Th-MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=3), neuroblastoma established cell lines (n=2; Kelly, MYCNamp+ALKF1174L; SH-SY5Y, MYCNwt+ ALKF1174L), human pluripotent derived human neural crest cells (hNCCs; wt hNCCs; n=2, and MYCN+ALKF1174L hNCCs, with Dox; n=2) and from hNCC xenografts (MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=5).

Dynamics of the cell-free DNA methylome of metastatic prostate cancer during androgen-targeting treatment

Project description:Aim: We examined methylation changes in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) during treatment. Patients and Methods: Genome-wide methylation analysis of sequentially collected cfDNA samples derived from mCRPC patients undergoing androgen-targeting therapy was performed. Results: Alterations in methylation states of genes previously implicated in prostate cancer progression were observed, and patients that maintained methylation changes throughout therapy tended to have a longer time to clinical progression (TTP). Importantly, we also report that markers associated with a highly aggressive form of the disease, Neuroendocrine-CRPC, were associated with a faster TTP. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the potential of monitoring the cfDNA methylome during therapy in mCRPC, which may serve as predictive markers of response to androgen-targeting agents.
