Long-read single-cell RNA transcriptomics reveals a signature of PIK3CA mutation in a human capillary malformation

ABSTRACT: PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndromes (PROS) are caused by somatic variants that result in constitutive activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT/mTOR pathway. Promising responses to molecularly targeted therapy have been reported, however identification of an appropriate agent can be hampered by the mosaic nature and low variant allele frequency of the causal variant. Moreover, our understanding of the molecular repercussions of these variants at the single cell level remain limited. Here we report in vitro expansion of affected tissue followed by exome sequencing and combined 3’ whole transcriptome and targeted long-read single cell RNA-sequencing in a patient with clinical symptoms consistent with Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation Syndrome (MCAP, a PROS condition). This approach identified a targetable PIK3CA variant restricted to a PAX3+ fibroblast population. These studies highlight the utility of novel next-generation sequencing strategies in the management of suspected syndromes of somatic mosaicism and provide insight into the underlying pathophysiology of a debilitating genetic syndrome.

Isogenic patient-derived human iPSCs, wild-type or heterozygous for PIK3CA-E418K

Project description:The PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS) patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines M98-WT and M98-E418K were obtained from a female, 18-y-old PROS patient by episomal reprogramming of a dermal fibroblast culture with 32% mosaicism for PIK3CA-E418K heterozygosity. All clones used for experimental studies were confirmed transgene-free and expressed high levels of pluripotent stem cell-specific markers, comparable to those of a reference hPSC line. Karyotyping on a single line from each genotype confirmed lack of microscopic genetic rearrangements. The original patient-derived dermal fibroblasts were obtained with full informed consent in accord with the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was approved by The Cambridge South Ethics.

Immune-interacting lymphatic endothelial subtype at capillary terminals drives lymphatic malformation

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA, encoding p110α-PI3K, are a common cause of venous and lymphatic malformations. Vessel type-specific disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, hampering development of efficient therapies. Here, we reveal a new immune-interacting subtype of Ptx3-positive dermal lymphatic capillary endothelial cells (iLECs) that recruit pro-lymphangiogenic macrophages to promote progressive lymphatic overgrowth. Mouse model of Pik3caH1047R-driven vascular malformations showed that proliferation was induced in both venous and lymphatic ECs, but sustained selectively in LECs of advanced lesions. Single-cell transcriptomics identified the iLEC population, residing at lymphatic capillary terminals of normal vasculature, that was expanded in Pik3caH1047R mice. Expression of pro-inflammatory genes, including monocyte/macrophage chemokine Ccl2, in Pik3caH1047R-iLECs was associated with recruitment of VEGF-C-producing macrophages. Macrophage depletion, CCL2 blockade or anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibition limited Pik3caH1047R-driven lymphangiogenesis. Thus, targeting the paracrine crosstalk between iLECs and macrophages provides a new therapeutic opportunity for lymphatic malformations. Identification of iLECs further indicates that peripheral lymphatic vessels not only respond to but also actively orchestrate inflammatory processes.

The microcephaly-capillary malformation syndrome.

Project description:We report on three children from two families with a new pattern recognition malformation syndrome consisting of severe congenital microcephaly (MIC), intractable epilepsy including infantile spasms, and generalized capillary malformations that was first reported recently in this journal [Carter et al. (2011); Am J Med Genet A 155: 301-306]. Two of our reported patients are an affected brother and sister, suggesting this is an autosomal recessive severe congenital MIC syndrome.

Expanding the clinical and molecular findings in RASA1 capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation.

Project description:RASA1-related disorders are vascular malformation syndromes characterized by hereditary capillary malformations (CM) with or without arteriovenous malformations (AVM), arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), or Parkes Weber syndrome. The number of cases reported is relatively small; and while the main clinical features are CMs and AVMs/AVFs, the broader phenotypic spectrum caused by variants in the RASA1 gene is still being defined. Here, we report the clinical and molecular findings in 69 unrelated cases with a RASA1 variant identified at ARUP Laboratories. Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification were primarily used to evaluate RASA1. Several atypical cases were evaluated using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Sixty individuals had a deleterious RASA1 variant of which 29 were novel. Nine individuals had a variant of uncertain significance. Five large RASA1 deletions were detected, giving an overall deletion/duplication rate of 8.3% (5/60) among positive cases. Most (75.4%) individuals with a RASA1 variant had CMs, and 44.9% had an AVM/AVF. Clinical findings in several cases expand the RASA1 phenotype. Our data suggest that screening for large RASA1 deletions and duplications in this disorder is important and suggest that NGS multi-gene panel testing is beneficial for the molecular diagnosis of cases with complex vascular phenotypes.

Targeted Sequencing identifies patients with pre-clinical MDS at high risk of disease progression

Project description:The diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains problematic due to the subjective nature of morphological assessment. The reported high frequency of somatic mutations and increased structural variants by array-based cytogenetics have provided potential objective markers of disease however this has been complicated by reports of similar abnormalities in the healthy population. We aimed to identify distinguishing features between those with early MDS and reported healthy individuals by characterising 69 patients who, following a non-diagnostic marrow, developed progressive dysplasia or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Targeted sequencing and array based cytogenetics identified a driver mutation and/or structural variant in 91% (63/69) of pre-diagnostic samples with the mutational spectrum mirroring that in the MDS population. When compared with the reported healthy population the mutations detected had significantly greater median variant allele fraction (40% vs 9-10%) and occurred more commonly with additional mutations (≥2 mutations 64% vs. 8%). Furthermore mutational analysis identified a high-risk group of patients with shorter time to disease progression and poorer overall survival. The mutational features in our cohort are distinct from those seen in the healthy population and, even in the absence of definitive disease, can predict outcome. Early detection may allow consideration of intervention in poor risk patients. We performed array based cytogenetics using HumanCytoSNP-12 (Illumina) on 69 patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who had a previously non-diagnostic sample. SNP array analysis was performed on all diagnostic samples. In those with a documented abnormality, SNP-A was performed on the corresponding pre-diagnostic sample (n=32).

High-dose oncogenic PIK3CA drives constitutive cellular stemness through increased NODAL/TGFb signaling

Project description:Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and are among the commonest somatic mutations in cancer and mosaic, developmental overgrowth disorders. We recently demonstrated that the ‘hotspot’ variant PIK3CAH1047R exerts striking allele dose-dependent effects on stemness in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and moreover demonstrated multiple oncogenic PIK3CA copies in a substantial subset of human cancers. To identify the molecular mechanism underpinning PIK3CAH1047R allele dose-dependent stemness, we profiled isogenic wild-type, PIK3CAWT/H1047R and PIK3CAH1047R/H1047R iPSCs by high-depth transcriptomics, proteomics and reverse-phase protein arrays (RPPA). PIK3CAH1047R/H1047R iPSCs exhibited altered expression of 5644 genes and 248 proteins, whereas heterozygous hPSCs showed 492 and 54 differentially-expressed genes and proteins, respectively, confirming a nearly deterministic phenotypic effect of homozygosity for PIK3CAH1047R. Pathway and network-based analyses predicted a strong association between self-sustained TGFb/NODAL signaling and the ‘locked’ stemness phenotype induced by homozygosity for PIK3CAH1047R. This stemness gene signature was maintained without exogenous NODAL in PIK3CAH1047R/H1047R iPSCs and was reversed by pharmacological inhibition of TGFb/NODAL signaling but not by PIK3CA-specific inhibition. Analysis of PIK3CA-associated human breast cancers revealed increased expression of the stemness markers NODAL and POU5F1 as a function of disease stage and PIK3CAH1047R allele dosage. Together with emerging realization of the link between NODAL re-expression and aggressive cancer behavior, our data suggest that TGFb/NODAL inhibitors warrant testing in advanced breast tumors with multiple oncogenic PIK3CA copies.

Prenatal Clinical Findings in <i>RASA1</i>-Related Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation Syndrome.

Project description:Pathogenic variants in RASA1 are typically associated with a clinical condition called "capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation" (CM-AVM) syndrome, an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by a broad phenotypic variability, even within families. In CM-AVM syndrome, multifocal capillary and arteriovenous malformations are mainly localized in the central nervous system, spine and skin. Although CM-AVM syndrome has been widely described in the literature, only 21 cases with prenatal onset of clinical features have been reported thus far. Here, we report four pediatric cases of molecularly confirmed CM-AVM syndrome which manifested during the prenatal period. Polyhydramnios, non-immune hydrops fetalis and chylothorax are only a few possible aspects of this condition, but a correct interpretation of these prenatal signs is essential due to the possible fatal consequences of unrecognized encephalic and thoracoabdominal deep vascular malformations in newborns and in family members carrying the same RASA1 variant.

Massively-parallel functional characterization of MAPK1 missense mutants

Project description:Genome-directed oncology has the potential to revolutionize patient treatment, but is limited by an abundance of rare, uncharacterized and therapeutically uninformative somatic variants. To accelerate characterization of the “long tail” of rare somatic variants, we quantified the activity and drug responsiveness of virtually all possible (99.84%) missense variants in the Ser/Thr kinase MAPK1/ERK2. We identified recurrent and rare hypermorphic and loss-of-function alleles, revealing that variant activity is uncorrelated with mutational frequency. Somatic ERK2 variants displayed variable responses to RAF-, MEK- and ERK-directed therapies, potentially informing clinical treatment strategies for patients whose tumors harbor these alterations. A subset of recurrent and rare somatic variants co-localized on ERK2 protein-protein interfaces, yet engendered contrasting phenotypes based on their specific sub-domain localization. The approach presented here represents an allele-characterization framework that compliments existing computational efforts and supports current and future somatic variant discovery efforts, advancing the promise of genome-guided treatment strategies.

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation, a new clinical and genetic disorder caused by RASA1 mutations.

Project description:Capillary malformation (CM), or "port-wine stain," is a common cutaneous vascular anomaly that initially appears as a red macular stain that darkens over years. CM also occurs in several combined vascular anomalies that exhibit hypertrophy, such as Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and Parkes Weber syndrome. Occasional familial segregation of CM suggests that there is genetic susceptibility, underscored by the identification of a large locus, CMC1, on chromosome 5q. We used genetic fine mapping with polymorphic markers to reduce the size of the CMC1 locus. A positional candidate gene, RASA1, encoding p120-RasGAP, was screened for mutations in 17 families. Heterozygous inactivating RASA1 mutations were detected in six families manifesting atypical CMs that were multiple, small, round to oval in shape, and pinkish red in color. In addition to CM, either arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula, or Parkes Weber syndrome was documented in all the families with a mutation. We named this newly identified association caused by RASA1 mutations "CM-AVM," for capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation. The phenotypic variability can be explained by the involvement of p120-RasGAP in signaling for various growth factor receptors that control proliferation, migration, and survival of several cell types, including vascular endothelial cells.
