Modeling Trilateral Retinoblastoma using Human Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provide a platform for understanding mechanisms underlying diseases and finding ways to treat them. Trilateral retinoblastoma (TRb) is a condition in which retinoblastoma, the most common congenital intraocular malignancy, is associated with an intracranial neural tumor. This mostly fatal disease is caused by biallelic inactivation of the retinoblastoma-1 (RB1) gene, transcribing pRB. Using CRISPR-Cas9 we generated RB1-null hESCs, an embryonic lethal condition. These cells display distinct gene expression patterns with alterations in pRB targets, and mitochondrial phenotypes similar to those of poorly differentiated retinoblastomas. RB1–/– hESC produce extremely large teratomas, with neural expansions similar to those of TRb tumors. Analysis of these tumors revealed a potentially novel role of pRB in ectoderm differentiation, acting through ZEB1. Lastly, RB1–/– cells are significantly sensitive to carboplatin, a chemotherapy used to treat TRb, suggesting our model can be used to screen novel treatments for the disease.

Retinoblastoma from Human Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Organoids (BeadChIP)

Project description:Retinoblastoma is a childhood cancer of the developing retina that initiates with biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene. To develop a laboratory model of human retinoblastoma formation, we made induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 15 participants with germline RB1 mutations. After 45 days in culture, the retinal organoids were dissociated and injected into the vitreous of eyes of immunocompromised mice to support retinoblastoma tumor growth. Retinoblastomas formed from retinal organoids made from patient-derived iPSCs had molecular, cellular and genomic features indistinguishable from human retinoblastomas.

Gene expression profiling of primary human retinoblastoma

Project description:Background Retinoblastoma is a pediatric eye cancer associated with RB1 loss or MYCN amplification (RB1+/+MYCNA). There are controversies concerning the existence of molecular subtypes within RB1-/- retinoblastoma. To test whether these molecular subtypes exist, we performed molecular profiling. Methods Genome-wide mRNA expression profiling was performed on 76 primary human retinoblastomas. Expression profiling was complemented by genome-wide DNA profiling and clinical, histopathological, and ex vivo drug sensitivity data. Findings RNA and DNA profiling identified major variability between retinoblastomas. While gene expression differences between RB1+/+MYCNA and RB1-/- tumors seemed more dichotomous, differences within the RB1-/- tumors were gradual. Tumors with high expression of a photoreceptor gene signature were highly differentiated, smaller in volume and diagnosed at younger age compared to tumors with low photoreceptor signature expression. Tumors with lower photoreceptor expression showed increased expression of genes involved in M-phase and mRNA and ribosome synthesis and increased frequencies of somatic copy number alterations. Interpretation Molecular, clinical and histopathological differences between RB1-/- tumors are best explained by tumor progression, reflected by a gradual loss of differentiation and photoreceptor expression signature. Since copy number alterations were more frequent in tumors with less photoreceptorness, genomic alterations might be drivers of tumor progression. Fresh frozen material from 76 primary human retinoblastoma samples were profiled with Affymetrix human genome u133 plus 2.0 PM microarray

Gene expression profiling identifies different sub-types of retinoblastoma

Project description:Background: Mutation of the RB1 gene is necessary but not sufficient for the development of retinoblastoma. The nature of events occurring subsequent to RB1 mutation is unclear, as is the retinal cell-of-origin of this tumour. Methods: Gene expression profiling of 21 retinoblastomas was carried out to identify genetic events that contribute to tumorigenesis and to obtain information about tumour histogenesis. Results: Expression analysis showed a clear separation of retinoblastomas into two groups. Group 1 retinoblastomas express genes associated with a range of different retinal cell types, suggesting derivation from a retinal progenitor cell type. Recurrent chromosomal alterations typical of retinoblastoma, for example, chromosome 1q and 6p gain and 16q loss were also a feature of this group, and clinically they were characterised by an invasive pattern of tumour growth. In contrast, group 2 retinoblastomas were found to retain many characteristics of cone photoreceptor cells and appear to exploit the high metabolic capacity of this cell type in order to promote tumour proliferation. Conclusion: Retinoblastoma is a heterogeneous tumour with variable biology and clinical characteristics. Kapatai, G et al. Br J Cancer (2013) 109, 512-525 doi: 10.1038/bjc.2013.283

Delineating the Rb1 interactome data and its modulations during cell cycle progression.

Project description:The retinoblastoma (Rb) protein is a potent tumor suppressor which is known to negatively regulate the cell cycle as well as tumor progression. Phosphorylated Rb protein (pRb) has been demonstrated to be in-charge for the key G1 checkpoint, blocking entry into S-phase and thereby the cell growth. This study was designed to capture interacting protein partners of Rb1 as the cell cycle progresses. Rb1 expressing HEK-293 cells were cultured in light, medium and heavy SILAC labels to capture the changes in Rb1 interactome as the cell cycle progressed from G0 to G1S and then to G2 phase, respectively. This data might help in understanding the cell cycle regulatory effect of Rb1 protein and complement the available information on its interacting partners.

Sequencing of Retinoblastoma

Project description:<p>Retinoblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the developing retina. All retinoblastomas are believed to initiate with biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene. To identify subsequent genetic lesions in retinoblastoma, we performed whole genome sequencing of tumor and normal DNA of 4 children with retinoblastoma and one matched orthotopic xenograft. Both alleles of RB1 were inactivated in the tumor samples. 3 of the patients had sporadic retinoblastoma and one patient had inherited retinoblastoma. Overall, there were few single nucleotide changes in coding regions of the genome and some of the tumors had few chromosomal lesions. There were very few new genetic lesions in the xenograft compared to the primary tumor. These data suggest that the genome in retinoblastoma is more stable than previously believed and there are relatively few recurrent genetic lesions in known cancer pathways other than the RB1 pathway.</p>

A retinoblastoma allele that is mutated at its common E2F interaction site inhibits cell proliferation in gene targeted mice

Project description:The retinoblastoma protein (pRB) is best known for regulating cell proliferation through E2F transcription factors. In this report we investigate the properties of a targeted mutation that disrupts pRB interactions with the transactivation domain of E2Fs. Mice that carry this mutation endogenously (Rb1∆G) are defective in regulating E2F target genes. Surprisingly, cell cycle regulation in Rb1∆G/∆G MEFs strongly resembles that of wild type. In a serum deprivation induced cell cycle exit, Rb1∆G/∆G MEFs display a similar magnitude of E2F target gene derepression as Rb1-/-, even though Rb1∆G/∆G cells exit the cell cycle normally. Interestingly, cell cycle arrest in Rb1∆G/∆G MEFs is responsive to p16 expression, indicating that the ΔG-pRB protein can be activated in G1 to arrest proliferation through non-E2F mechanisms. Some Rb1∆G/∆G mice die neonatally with a muscle degeneration phenotype, while the others live a normal lifespan with no evidence of spontaneous tumor formation. Histological analysis reveals discrete examples of hyperplasia in the mammary epithelium, but most tissues appear normal while being accompanied by derepression of pRB regulated E2F targets. This suggests that non-E2F, pRB dependent pathways may have a more relevant role in proliferative control than previously identified.

Human embryonic stem cell-derived organoidal retinoblastoma reveals cancerous origin and therapeutic target

Project description:Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most prevalent intraocular malignant tumor in children with less than 30% survival rate globally. Rb genetic predisposition has been well defined for decades, whereas its developmental origin and drug agents remain largely unexplored. Here we developed the first organoidal retinoblastoma model derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with a biallelic knockout (RB1-/-) or mutagenesis (RB1Mut/Mut) of the RB1 gene, which exhibit extreme consistent properties of Rb tumorigenesis, transcriptome, and genome-wide methylation. Using single-cell RNA-seq and immunostaining of this model, we found that developmentally Rb originated from ARR3+ maturing cone precursors and a new cell type of unfolded protein response occurred in the organoidal retinoblastoma. A key PI3K-Akt pathway was aberrantly regulated, and its strong activator SYK (encoding proto-oncogenic spleen tyrosine kinase) was significantly upregulated in the cancerous organoids. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the SYK inhibitors, A502 and B502, have more significant therapeutic response on the early-stage organoidal retinoblastoma compared to four well-established chemotherapeutic drugs in clinic. Collectively, we established a brand-new organoidal retinoblastoma model derived from human ESCs in-a-dish and discovered its cell-of-origin and potential drug agents, shedding light on development and therapeutics of human cancers.

Expression data from Pou4f3-Rb1 cKO and control inner ear

Project description:Retinoblastoma gene (Rb1) is required for proper cell cycle exit in the developing mouse inner ear and its deletion in the embryo leads to proliferation of sensory progenitor cells that differentiate into hair cells and supporting cells. In the Pou4f3-Cre:Rb1 flox/flox (Rb1 cKO) inner ear, utricular hair cells differentiate and survive into adulthood whereas differentiation and survival of cochlear hair cells are impaired. To comprehensively survey the pRb pathway in the mammalian inner ear, we performed microarray analysis of Rb1 cKO cochlea and utricle.
