DNA Methylation Profiling of Glioblastoma: Impact on Gene Expression and Clinical Outcome (Illumina)

ABSTRACT: Genome-scale measurements of DNA methylation levels are necessary to decipher the epigenetic events involved in glioblastoma aggressive phenotype, and to guide new therapeutic strategies. In that purpose, we performed a whole genome integrative analysis of the methylation and expression profiles for 40 newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients. We have also screened for associations between CpG sites methylation levels and overall survival in a cohort of 50 patients uniformly treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (STUPP protocol). The methylation analysis identified 616 CpG sites differentially methylated between glioblastoma and control brain, a quarter being differentially expressed in a concordant way. Among these concordant CpG sites, 13 genes displayed, within our glioblastoma cohort, an inverse correlation between promoter methylation and expression levels: B3GNT5, FABP7, ZNF217, BST2, OAS1, SLC13A5, GSTM5, ME1, UBXD3, TSPYL5, FAAH, C7orf13, and C3orf14. The expression of these genes may be tightly regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. The survival analysis identified six CpG sites associated with overall survival. The SOX10 promoter methylation status (two CpG sites) stratifies the patients in a way similar to MGMT with improved performance based on Area Under the Curve criteria (0.78 vs. 0.71, p-value < 5.10-4). The methylation status of FNDC3B, TBX3, DGKI, and FSD1 promoters identify patients with MGMT methylated tumors non-responding to STUPP treatment (p-value < 1.10-4). These markers have a potential impact on therapeutic decision.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. BACKGROUND: Gliomas evade current therapies through primary and acquired resistance and the effect of temozolomide is mainly restricted to the subgroup of methylguanin-O6-methyltransferase promoter (MGMT) hypermethylated tumors. Further resistance markers and pathways against chemotherapy and radiotherapy are largely unknown and would help for better stratification. METHODS: The diagnostic cohorts involved clinical data and methylation profiles of the NOA-08 (n = 104, elderly glioblastoma) and the EORTC 26101 (n = 297, glioblastoma) studies and 398 patients with glioblastoma from the Heidelberg center. Twenty-eight glioblastoma CpGs from 17 DNA damage response (DDR) genes that negatively correlate with expression derived from a 450 DDR gene list as well as telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations were investigated for outcome and interaction with therapy and classifier assignments. RESULTS: CpG methylation in IDH wildtype tumors had the highest association with the mesenchymal (MES) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) I glioblastoma subgroup. MES tumors have lower tumor purity and differ in copy number variations on chromosomes 7 and 10 from the RTK I and II subtypes. CpG hypomethylation of DDR genes (TP73, CCND3, CSNK1E, EXO1, CUL4A and PRPF19) correlated with worse patient survival in particular in MGMT unmethylated tumors. TERT promoter mutation is most frequent in RTK I and II subtypes and associated with worse survival in primary glioblastoma. Primary glioma cells show methylation pattern that resemble RTK I and II glioma and differ from long term established cell lines. Knock-down of selected resistance genes PRPF19 and TERT increase sensitivity to temozolomide treatment in vitro. CONCLUSION: Methylation of DDR genes and TERT promoter mutations are associated with tumor prognosis, dependent on the methylation cluster and MGMT promoter methylation status in high-grade glioma.

Project description:Purpose: The long-term follow-up results from the EORTC-26951 trial showed that the addition of PCV after radiotherapy increases survival in anaplastic oligodendrogliomas/oligoastrocytomas (AOD/AOA). However, some patients appeared to benefit more from PCV treatment than others. Experimental Design: We performed genome-wide methylation profiling of 115 samples included in the EORTC-26951 trial and extracted the CpG island hypermethylated phenotype (CIMP) and MGMT promoter methylation (MGMT-STP27) status. Results: We first demonstrate that methylation profiling can be performed on archival tissues with a performance that is similar to snap frozen tissue samples. We then performed methylation profiling on EORTC-26951 clinical trial samples. Univariate analysis indicated that CIMP+ or MGMT-STP27 methylated tumors had an improved survival compared to CIMP- and/or MGMT-STP27 unmethylated tumors (median overall survival (OS) 1.05 v. 6.46 years and 1.06 v. 3.8 years, both P<0.0001 for CIMP and MGMT-STP27 status respectively). Multivariable analysis indicates that CIMP and MGMT-STP27 are significant prognostic factors for survival in presence of age, sex performance score and review diagnosis in the model.Multivariate analysis indicates that CIMP and MGMT-STP27 status are prognostic factors for survival independent of age, sex, performance score and review diagnosis. CIMP+ and MGMT-STP27 methylated tumors showed a clear benefit from adjuvant PCV chemotherapy: the median OS of CIMP+ samples in the RT and RT-PCV arms was 3.27 and 9.51 years respectively P=0.0033; for MGMT-STP27 methylated samples it was 1.98 and 8.65 years. There was no such benefit for CIMP- or for MGMT-STP27 unmethylated tumors. MGMT-STP27 status remained significant in an interaction test (P=0.003). Statistical analysis of microarray (SAM) identified 259 novel CpGs associated with treatment response. Conclusions: MGMT-STP27 may be used to guide treatment decisions in this tumor type. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 58 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip The following sample characteristics are provided; OS: overall survival; PFS: progression free survival; CIMP: CpG Island Methylator phenotype; IGS: Intrinsic Glioma subtype; MGMT: O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase; OR diagn: original diagnosis; Rev diag: review diagnosis; Tum loc: Tumor location; Perf: Performance score; TRT: treatment Performance is based on the ECOG performance status Tum loc: tumor location indicated by 1: Biopsy; 2: Partial Resection; 3: Total Resection. The MGMT promoter methylation status was determined previously (van den Bent et al, J. Clin Oncol 27: 5881-6, 2009) using MS-MLPA and may differ from the MGMT-SPT27 status.
