Project description:Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analyses was used to analyze 20 UPS and 17 LMS samples from untreated patients. The data were validated using quantitative PCR. Experiment condition, 20 UPS and 17 LMS DNA samples obtained from untreated patients were laleled with Cy5 and commercial reference samples (Promega) were labled with Cy3. Samples Cy3 and Cy5 were mixed and hybridized at slide glasses Agilent 4x44 platform.

Project description:Undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcomas (UPSs) display aggressive clinical behavior and frequently develop local recurrence and distant metastasis. Because these sarcomas often share similar morphological patterns with other tumors, particularly leiomyosarcomas (LMSs), classification by exclusion is frequently used. In this study, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) was used to analyze 20 UPS and 17 LMS samples from untreated patients. The LMS samples presented a lower frequency of genomic alterations compared with the UPS samples. The most frequently altered UPS regions involved gains at 20q13.33 and 7q22.1 and losses at 3p26.3. Gains at 8q24.3 and 19q13.12 and losses at 9p21.3 were frequently detected in the LMS samples. Of these regions, gains at 1q21.3, 11q12.2-q12.3, 16p11.2, and 19q13.12 were significantly associated with reduced overall survival times in LMS patients. A multivariate analysis revealed that gains at 1q21.3 were an independent prognostic marker of shorter survival times in LMS patients (HR?=?13.76; P?=?0.019). Although the copy number profiles of the UPS and LMS samples could not be distinguished using unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis, one of the three clusters presented cases associated with poor prognostic outcome (P?=?0.022). A relative copy number analysis for the ARNT, SLC27A3, and PBXIP1 genes was performed using quantitative real-time PCR in 11 LMS and 16 UPS samples. Gains at 1q21-q22 were observed in both tumor types, particularly in the UPS samples. These findings provide strong evidence for the existence of a genomic signature to predict poor outcome in a subset of UPS and LMS patients.

Project description:Background: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), used to be called malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), is a malignant soft tissue tumor of uncertain origin, and is characterized by morphology. UPS often share similar morphological characters with other sarcomas, especially Leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is another malignant soft tissue sarcoma with complex genomic abnormalities, origin from smooth muscle. As a result, development of gene signature and/or biomarkers distinguishing UPS and LMS will definitely help the pathologist to precisely diagnose those patients. However, in the past, UPS was reported to be indistinguishable with LMS by genomic profiles. Methods and Results: In this study, 3’ end RNA Sequencing (3SEQ) was used to expression profile 6 UPS and 99 LMS cases. Overall, UPS was undistinguished with LMS by 3SEQ data, however, when we stratified LMS into three subtypes, UPS was shown to share similar expression pattern with Subtype II LMS, but had distinct molecular expression patterns with Subtype I and Subtype III LMS. Additional Immunohistochemistry staining by using LMS Subtype I and Subtype II markers validated that UPSs were positive for Subtype II marker ARL4C, but negative for Subtype I marker LMOD1. Furthermore, CD4 was shown to be significantly more highly expressed in UPS than LMS in both mRNA and protein levels. Conclusion: This study first reported that UPS shared similar gene expression pattern with subtype II LMS and UPS recapitulated the expression profiles of subtype II LMS. In this study, 3’ end RNA Sequencing (3SEQ) was used to expression profile 6 UPS and 99 LMS cases. In order to explore the molecular differences between UPS and LMS, We analyzed the expression data by SAMseq to identify the genes which were significantly differently expressed between UPS and LMS, between UPS and each LMS subtype.

Project description:Soft tissue sarcoma diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC-arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extremity soft tissue UPS with the aim to identify molecular subtype signatures and genomic prognostic markers. Both the gains/losses and gene expression signatures revealed striking similarities between UPS and LMS, which were indistinguishable using unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis and significance analysis for microarrays. Gene expression analysis revealed just 9 genes, among them Tropomyosin beta, that were differentially expressed. Loss of 4q31 (encompassing the SMAD1 locus), loss of 18q22 and tumor necrosis were identified as independent predictors of metastasis in multivariate stepwise Cox regression analysis. Combined analysis applying loss of 4q31 and 18q22 and presence of necrosis improved the area under receiver operating characteristic curve for metastasis prediction from 0.64 to 0.86. The extensive genetic similarities between extremity soft tissue UPS and LMS suggest a shared lineage of these STS subtypes and the new and independent genetic prognosticators identified hold promise for refined prognostic determination in high-grade, genetically complex STS. Genomic DNA was extracted from a total of 49 samples, 31 Undifferentiated pleomorphic Sarcomas and 18 Leiomyosarcomas. The DNA was labeled using Bioprime array CGH labeling kit (Invitrogen). Promega pooled male DNA was used as reference. Labeled DNA was hybridized onto BAC arrays containing ~32 000 BAC clones printed in singlets. BAC arrays were produced at the SWEGENE DNA Microarray Facility at Lund University.

Project description:BackgroundUndifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) and high-grade Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) are soft tissue tumors with an aggressive clinical behavior, frequently developing local recurrence and distant metastases. Despite several gene expression studies involving soft tissue sarcomas, the potential to identify molecular markers has been limited, mostly due to small sample size, in-group heterogeneity and absence of detailed clinical data.Materials and methodsGene expression profiling was performed for 22 LMS and 22 UPS obtained from untreated patients. To assess the relevance of the gene signature, a meta-analysis was performed using five published studies. Four genes (BAD, MYOCD, SRF and SRC) selected from the gene signature, meta-analysis and functional in silico analysis were further validated by quantitative PCR. In addition, protein-protein interaction analysis was applied to validate the data. SRC protein immunolabeling was assessed in 38 UPS and 52 LMS.ResultsWe identified 587 differentially expressed genes between LMS and UPS, of which 193 corroborated with other studies. Cluster analysis of the data failed to discriminate LMS from UPS, although it did reveal a distinct molecular profile for retroperitoneal LMS, which was characterized by the over-expression of smooth muscle-specific genes. Significantly higher levels of expression for BAD, SRC, SRF, and MYOCD were confirmed in LMS when compared with UPS. SRC was the most value discriminator to distinguish both sarcomas and presented the highest number of interaction in the in silico protein-protein analysis. SRC protein labeling showed high specificity and a positive predictive value therefore making it a candidate for use as a diagnostic marker in LMS.ConclusionsRetroperitoneal LMS presented a unique gene signature. SRC is a putative diagnostic marker to differentiate LMS from UPS.
