Project description:One of the main problems in managing desmoids tumors is their locoregional aggressiveness and their high ability to recur after initial treatment. In our work, with the goal to identify molecular markers that can predict Progression-Free Survival, gene-expression screening was conducted on 128 available independent untreated primary desmoid tumors using cDNA microarray. By analyzing expression profiles, we have identified, for the first time, a gene expression signature that is able to predict Progression-Free Survival. This molecular signature identified two groups with clearly distinct Progression-Free Survival in the two sets of subjects. Patients in good prognostic group had achieved a progression-free 2-year survival rate of 86% while patients in poor prognostic group had a progression-free 2-year survival rate of 44%. 128 available independent untreated primary desmoid tumors

Project description:Desmoid tumors (also called deep or aggressive fibromatoses) are potentially life-threatening fibromatous lesions. Hereditary desmoid tumors arise in individuals affected by either familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary desmoid disease (HDD) carrying germline mutations in APC. Most non-FAP (sporadic) desmoids carry somatic mutations in the beta-catenin gene. Previous studies identified losses on 5q and 6q, and gains on 8q and 20q as recurrent genetic changes in desmoids. However, virtually all genetic changes were derived from sporadic tumors. To investigate the somatic alterations in FAP-associated desmoids and to compare them with changes occurring in sporadic tumors, we analyzed 17 FAP-associated and 38 sporadic desmoids for copy number abnormalities (CNAs) by means of array comparative genomic hybridization and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification. Overall, the desmoids displayed only a limited number of genetic changes, occurring in 44% of cases. Common gains at 8q (7%) and 20q (5%) were almost exclusively found in sporadic tumors. Frequent common losses were observed within a 700 kb region at 5q22.2, comprising the APC gene (11%), in a 2 Mb region at 6p21.2-p21.1 (15%), and in a relatively large region at 6q15-q23.3 (20%). The FAP-associated desmoids displayed a significantly higher frequency of CNAs (59%) than the sporadic tumors (37%). As predicted by the APC germline mutations among these patients, a relatively high percentage (29%) of the FAP-associated desmoids showed loss of the APC region at 5q22.2, which was infrequently (3%) seen among sporadic tumors. Our data suggest that loss of region 6q15-q16.2 is an important event in FAP-associated as well as sporadic desmoids, most likely of relevance for desmoid tumor progression.

Our data suggest that loss of region 6q15-q16.2 is an important event in FAP-associated as well as sporadic desmoids, most likely of relevance for desmoid tumor progression. Fifty-three fresh frozen tumor samples were collected at four institutes: Center for Human Genetics, University of Leuven, Belgium (21 samples); INSERM U674, Fondation Jean Dausset-CEPH, Paris, France (15 samples); Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada (13 samples); and the Italian Registry of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer (Dr. L. Bertario, 4 samples). In addition, DNA of two fresh frozen tumors, HDD-H of patient III:2 and HDD-I of patient III:6, of our hereditary desmoids disease (HDD) family10 was available (Table 1). In this family, multifocal desmoid tumors were inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, and HDD segregated with a 3' APC mutation at codon 1924. For the latter reason, they were classified as FAP tumors in this study. Three FAP tumors were derived from a family with 2 relatives in the study (D15-1 and D15-2 of a male patient and D16 of his sister). Colonic polyposis had been observed in 12 FAP patients, not in the 2 HDD-FAP patients and not in patient D15. The germline APC mutation was known in 14 of 17 FAP-associated tumors. In 28 of 38 non-FAP-associated desmoid tumors, the beta-catenin gene (CTNNB1) mutation in exon 3 was known and in 1 of 38 tumors an APC mutation was present (data not shown). The remaining tumors were characterized as FAP or non-FAP based on clinical data and positivity of tumor cells upon immunostaining for beta-catenin. DNA was extracted from the tumor samples according to standard methods.

Project description:Purpose: This study sought to identify signaling pathways that modulate β-catenin function in desmoid cells, affecting natural history and sorafenib response. Experimental Design: In vitro experiments utilized primary desmoid cell lines to examine interaction of β-catenin signaling with other pathways. Relevance of in vitro results was assessed in surgical specimens and Alliance trial A091105 correlative biopsies. Results: CTNNB1 knockdown inhibited hypoxia-regulated gene expression in vitro and reduced levels of HIF1α. Expression of hypoxia-associated genes clustered desmoids separately from normal mesenchymal tissue. ChIP-seq identified ABL1 as a β-catenin transcriptional target that modulated HIF1α protein expression and desmoid cell proliferation. Abrogation of either CTNNB1 or HIF1 inhibited the ability of desmoid cells to induce VEGFR2 phosphorylation and tube formation in endothelial cell co-cultures. Sorafenib inhibited this activity directly but also reduced HIF1α protein expression and c-Abl activity while inhibiting PDGFRβ signaling in desmoid cells. Conversely, c-Abl activity and desmoid cell proliferation were positively regulated by activation of PDGF signaling. Reduction in PDGFRβ and c-Abl phosphorylation was commonly observed in samples from patients after treatment with sorafenib; baseline samples in patients with greater drug response tended to have higher baseline PDGFRβ/c-Abl pathway activation. Conclusions: The β-catenin transcriptional target ABL1 is necessary for proliferation and maintenance of HIF1α protein expression in desmoid cells. Regulation of c-Abl activity by PDGF signaling and targeted therapies modulates desmoid cell proliferation, thereby suggesting a reason for variable biologic behavior between tumors, a mechanism for sorafenib activity in desmoids, and markers predictive of outcome in patients.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying oncogenesis in desmoid-type fibromatosis are poorly understood. This project sought to understand how β-catenin may function to promote desmoid formation and how external signaling by PDGFRβ modulates this activity. To examine this question, RNA-seq was performed on CTNNB1 knock-downs. Gene set enrichment analysis suggested that the oncogene controlled HIF1 and angiogenesis pathways; expression of related genes accurately differentiated desmoids analyzed by U133A array from normal mesenchymal tissues. We identified c-ABL as a direct transcriptional target of β-catenin that promoted HIF1α expression in desmoid cells. We also noted that c-ABL activity was enhanced by PDGFRβ. PDGFRβ enhanced desmoid cell proliferation and c-ABL was necessary for desmoid proliferation. To identify potential markers of PDGFRβ/c-ABL activity in vivo, we assessed RNA-seq of desmoid cells treated with PDGF-BB. ERG1 transcription was highly upregulate and IHC of ERG1 was subsequently used to assess outcomes in desmoid patients with biopsies available for testing.

Project description:The diagnosis of ependymoma has moved from a purely histopathological review with limited prognostic value to an integrated diagnosis, relying heavily on molecular information. However, as the integrated approach is still novel and some molecular ependymoma subtypes are quite rare, few studies have correlated integrated pathology and clinical outcome, often focusing on small series of single molecular types. We collected data from 2023 ependymomas as classified by DNA methylation profiling, consisting of 1736 previously published and 287 unpublished methylation profiles. Methylation data and clinical information were correlated, and an integrated model was developed to predict progression-free survival. Patients with EPN-PFA, EPN-ZFTA, and EPN-MYCN tumors showed the worst outcome with 10-year overall survival rates of 56%, 62%, and 32%, respectively. EPN-PFA harbored chromosome 1q gains and/or 6q losses as markers for worse survival. In supratentorial EPN-ZFTA, a combined loss of CDKN2A and B indicated worse survival, whereas a single loss did not. Twelve out of 200 EPN-ZFTA (6%) were located in the posterior fossa, and these tumors relapsed or progressed even earlier than supratentorial tumors with a combined loss of CDKN2A/B. Patients with MPE and PF-SE, generally regarded as non-aggressive tumors, only had a 10-year progression-free survival of 59% and 65%, respectively. For the prediction of the 5-year progression-free survival, Kaplan-Meier estimators based on the molecular subtype, a Support Vector Machine based on methylation, and an integrated model based on clinical factors, CNV data, and predicted methylation scores achieved balanced accuracies of 66%, 68%, and 73%, respectively. Excluding samples with low prediction scores resulted in balanced accuracies of over 80%.

Project description:Esophageal cancer is a highly malignant and prevalent cancer worldwide. Current TNM staging system is insufficient for prognosis of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate miRNA expression profile of ESCC and identify a miRNA signature which robustly predict the survival of ESCC patients. MiRNA expression profiles of paired frozen tissues from 119 ESCC patients were assessed by microarray. After normalization of microarray data, the patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=60) and a test set (n=59). From the training set, we identified a four-miRNA prognostic signature (including hsa-miR-218-5p, hsa-miR-142-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-205-5p) using random forest supervised classification algorithm and nearest shrunken centroid algorithm. This signature distinguished the patients into high-risk or low-risk groups whose overall survival differed significantly (5-year survival 7.4% vs. 66.7%, p<0.001). Prognostic value of this signature was validated in the test set (5-year survival 18.8% vs. 46.5%, p=0.025) and further in an independent cohort of 58 patients assessed by a different platform (5-year survival 11.4% vs. 56.7%, p=0.003). Furthermore, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that this signature is an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients. Moreover, stratified analysis showed that this signature was able to predict survival within TNM stages. The expression level of the four miRNAs measured by microarray was verified by qRT-PCR and showed high level of positive correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient>0.75, p<0.001 for all). Our results suggest that the four-miRNA signature can serve as a reliable biomarker to predict the survival of ESCC patients. the miRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 119 ESCC patients were used to identify a miRNA signature that can perdict the survival of ESCC patients.

Project description:Breast cancers contain a minority population of cancer cells characterized by CD44 expression but low or undetectable levels of CD24 (CD44+CD24-/low) that have higher tumorigenic capacity than other subtypes of cancer cells. METHODS: We compared the gene-expression profile of CD44+CD24-/low tumorigenic breast-cancer cells with that of normal breast epithelium. Differentially expressed genes were used to generate a 186-gene invasiveness gene signature (IGS), which was evaluated for its association with overall survival and metastasis-free survival in patients with breast cancer or other types of cancer. RESULTS: There was a significant association between the IGS and both overall and metastasis-free survival (P<0.001, for both) in patients with breast cancer, which was independent of established clinical and pathological variables. When combined with the prognostic criteria of the National Institutes of Health, the IGS was used to stratify patients with high-risk early breast cancer into prognostic categories (good or poor); among patients with a good prognosis, the 10-year rate of metastasis-free survival was 81%, and among those with a poor prognosis, it was 57%. The IGS was also associated with the prognosis in medulloblastoma (P=0.004), lung cancer (P=0.03), and prostate cancer (P=0.01). The prognostic power of the IGS was increased when combined with the wound-response (WR) signature. CONCLUSIONS: The IGS is strongly associated with metastasis-free survival and overall survival for four different types of tumors. This genetic signature of tumorigenic breast-cancer cells was even more strongly associated with clinical outcomes when combined with the WR signature in breast cancer. Expression profling was performed on 6 tumorigenic, 3 non tumorigenic samples of breast tumors and 3 normal breast samples on two different platforms GPL96 and GPL97. A gene signature was derived by comparing the gene expressions of 6 tumorigenic samples with 3 normal breast samples.
