Project description:Synovial sarcomas account for approximately 10% of all soft-tissue tumors and occur most frequently in young adults. A specific translocation in this sarcoma induces fusion of the SYT gene on chromosome 18 to the SSX genes on chromosome X, leading to proliferation of the tumor cells. The need for non-invasive biomarkers indicating recurrence and activity of this disease has sparked research into short non-coding RNA known as microRNA (miRNA). Patients and Methods: Blood samples of patients with active synovial sarcoma and of healthy donors were collected. Whole blood RNA was extracted and analyzed using an Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array v. 4.0. Results: Hierarchical clustering of all covered human mature miRNAs and human pre-miRNAs separated sarcoma samples from control samples. Following hierarchical clustering, the array results were narrowed own to deregulated miRNAs with a fold change > |3.0|, a p-value <0.005, a q-value (FDR-corrected p-value) <0.2 and a similar deregulation of related miRNAs with the same base sequence throughout the array. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the panel of miRNAs that met these criteria could again separate sarcoma patients from healthy controls. Conclusion: Our results have identified a specific whole blood miRNA signature that may serve as an independent biomarker for the diagnosis of local recurrence or distant metastasis of synovial sarcoma.

The need for non-invasive biomarkers indicating recurrence and activity of this disease has sparked research into short non-coding RNA known as microRNA (miRNA). Patients and Methods: Serum samples of patients with active synovial sarcoma, healthy donors and leiomyosarcoma patients were collected. Cell-free serum was obtained by differential centrifugation steps and analyzed using an Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array v. 4.0. qRT-PCR was carried out to confirm a panel of miRNAs which where differentially expressed in the miRNA array.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that function as an endogenous regulator of gene expression. Their dysregulation has been implicated in the development of several cancers. However, the status of miRNA in soft tissue sarcomas has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the global miRNA expression in synovial sarcoma and compared the results to those in another translocation-associated sarcoma, the Ewing family of tumors, and in normal skeletal muscle. The 3D-Gene miRNA microarray platform (Toray, Kamakura, Japan) and unsupervised hierarchical clustering revealed a distinct expression pattern of miRNAs in synovial sarcoma from Ewing tumors and skeletal muscle. Thirty-five of the more than 700 miRNAs analyzed were differentially expressed in synovial sarcomas in comparison to other tissue types. There were 21 significantly up-regulated miRNAs, including some miRNAs, such as let-7e, miR-99b and miR-125a-3p, clustered within the same chromosomal loci. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction also demonstrated that these miRNAs were over-expressed in synovial sarcomas. The down-regulation of let-7e and miR-99b by anti-miR miRNA inhibitors resulted in the suppression of the proliferation of synovial sarcoma cells, and modulated the expression of their putative targets, HMGA2 and SMARCA5, suggesting that these molecules have a potential oncogenic role. The unique miRNA expression pattern including the over-expressed miRNA clusters in synovial sarcoma warrants further investigation in order to develop a better understanding of the oncogenic mechanisms and future therapeutic strategies for synovial sarcoma. Ten synovial sarcomas, five Ewing tumors and five normal skeletal muscle specimens are analyzed.

Project description:Poorly differentiated type synovial sarcoma (PDSS) is a variant of synovial sarcoma characterized by predominantly round or short-spindled cells. Although accumulating evidence from clinicopathological studies suggests a strong association between this variant of synovial sarcoma and poor prognosis, little has been reported on the molecular basis of PDSS. To gain insight into the mechanism(s) that underlie the emergence of PDSS, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 34 synovial sarcoma clinical samples, including 5 cases of PDSS, using an oligonucleotide microarray. In an unsupervised analysis, the 34 samples fell into 3 groups that correlated highly with histological subtype, namely, monophasic, biphasic, and poorly differentiated types. PDSS was characterized by down-regulation of genes associated with neuronal and skeletal development and cell adhesion, and up-regulation of genes on a specific chromosomal locus, 8q21.11. This locus-specific transcriptional activation in PDSS was confirmed by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR analysis of 9 additional synovial sarcoma samples. Our results indicate that PDSS tumors constitute a distinct genetic group based on expression profiles. 34 SYT-SSX fusion transcript-positive SS samples, consisting of 21 MSS, 8 BSS and 5 PDSS cases, were analyzed using an oligonucleotide microarray using a GeneChip Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 array (Affymetrix).

Project description:SS18-SSX fusion proteins play a central role in synovial sarcoma development, however, genetic network and mechanisms of synovial sarcomagenesis remain largely unknown. To clarify such unknown mechanisms, we have established a new ex vivo mouse model for synovial sarcoma, using retrovirus-mediated gene transfer of SS18-SSX1 to mouse embryonic mesenchymal cells followed by subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice. This approach successfully induced subcutaneous tumors in 100% of recipients, showing invasive proliferation of short spindle tumor cells with occasional biphasic appearance. Cytokeratin expression was observed in epithelial components in tumors and expression of TLE1 and BCL2 was also shown. Gene expression profiling indicates modulation of the SWI/SNF pathway by introduction of SS18-SSX1 into mesenchymal cells, and upregulation of Tle1 and Atf2 in tumors. Collectively, these findings indicate the model exhibits typical phenotypes of human synovial sarcoma. Retroviral tagging of the tumor identified 15 common retroviral integration sites with the Dnm3 locus as the most frequent in 30 mouse synovial sarcomas. Up-regulation of micro RNAs miR-199a2 and miR-214 within the Dnm3 locus was observed. Co-introduction of SS18-SSX1 and miR-214 indeed accelerated sarcoma onset, indicating that miR-214 is a cooperative onco-miR in synovial sarcomagenesis. miR-214 functions in the cell non-autonomous manner, promoting cytokine gene expression such as Cxcl15/IL8. We have succeeded to generate a novel mouse model for human synovial sarcoma. As miR-214 overexpression in human synovial sarcoma was reported, our results underscore the important role of miR-214 in tumor development and disease progression. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mouse synovial sarcoma and embryonic mesenchymal cells

Project description:Autologous T cells transduced to express a high affinity T-cell receptor specific to NY-ESO-1 (letetresgene autoleucel, lete-cel) show promise in the treatment of metastatic synovial sarcoma, with 50% overall response rate. Biomarkers predictive of response and resistance remain to be better defined. In 45 synovial sarcoma patients, we analyzed the association of response to lete-cel (NCT01343043) with tumor gene expression. Analysis of tumor samples post-treatment illustrated lete-cel infiltration and decreased expression of macrophage genes, suggesting remodeling of the tumor microenvironment.
