Project description:For identification of candidate genes that is specifically expressed in Ewing family tumor (EFT) cells, we performed DNA microarray-based global expression profiling using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array and analyxed expression profiles from EFT cell lines (7 lines), neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines (3 lines), a Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell line, and a human immortalized mesenchymal progenitor cells UET-13 cells. Experiment Overall Design: Expression profiles of pediatric solid tumor cell lines were analyzed and compared using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 (GPL570).

Project description:To elucidate the pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), particularly for different subgroups, we performed a SNP array-based copy number analysis of 46 RMS specimens from primary cases with ERMS (N = 21), ARMS (N = 14), unclassified RMS (N = 1), and RMS of unknown histology (N = 3) together with 7 RMS-derived cell lines. The ERMS subtype was characterized by hyperploidy and was significantly associated with gains of chromosomes 2, 8, and 12, whereas majority of ARMS cases exhibited near-diploid copy number profiles. Recurrent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomes 3 (28.6%) and 15q (35.7%) was detected in ARMS. Uniparental disomy/polysomy of 11p was commonly found in both tumor types. Focal gains/amplifications were associated mostly with PAX3-FOXO1 (5/10) or PAX7-FOXO1 (6/6) fusions, but novel amplified regions were also found, including the IRS2 in 2 ARMS. Gain of 13q was significantly associated with good patient outcome in ERMS. These findings not only illustrate genetic differences between ARMS and ERMS but also provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of RMS. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 50K/250K SNP arrays was performed for 46 RMS samples.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common childhood sarcoma and is identified as either the embryonal or alveolar (ARMS) subtype. In approximately 75% of cases, ARMSs are characterized by specific chromosomal translocations that involve PAX and FKHR genes. ARMS gene expression signatures vary, depending on the presence or absence of the translocations. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) is strongly overexpressed in translocation-negative RMS. Because IGFBP2 is associated with tumorigenesis, we investigated its functional role in RMS. An analysis of IGFBP2 distribution in RMS cell lines revealed a strong accumulation in the Golgi complex, in which morphological characteristics appeared peculiarly modified. After silencing IGFBP2 expression, our microarray analysis revealed mostly cell cycle and actin cytoskeleton gene modulations. In parallel, IGFBP2-silenced cells showed reduced cell cycle and rates of invasion and decreased seeding in the lungs after tail vein injections in immunodeficient mice. An analysis of IGFBP2 mRNA and protein localization in human tumors showed abnormal protein accumulation in the Golgi complex, mostly in PAX/FKHR-negative RMS. Moreover, an analysis of patients with RMS revealed the presence of conspicuous circulating levels of IGFBP2 proteins in children with highly aggressive RMS tumors. Taken together, our data provide evidence that IGFBP2 contributes to tumor progression and that it could be used as a marker to better classify clinical and biological risks in RMS. Three independent silencing experiments on RH36, an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, were performed to study the role of IGFBP2 oncogene in this childhood tumor. Each of 3 biological replicates has its own control which is represented by cell culture treated with a non-targeting siRNA (siCONTROL). 3 controls were used to produce a M-bM-^@M-^\control poolM-bM-^@M-^] that has been used as reference in all microarray experiments. Each microarray experiment consists of a competitive hybridization between test and reference RNA (e.g. silenced cells vs. control), labelled with Cy3 or Cy5. Two microarray experiments were performed for each of three silencing experiment (technical replicate). Each slide was scanned and the data was normalized and analyzed.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant tumour accounting for nearly half of soft tissue sarcomas in children. Altered miRNA levels have been reported in human cancers, including RMS. Using deep sequencing technology, a total of 685 miRNAs were investigated in a group of alveolar RMSs (ARMSs), embryonal RMSs (ERMSs) as well as in normal skeletal muscle (NSM). Bioinformatics pipelines were used for miRNA target prediction and clustering analysis. Ninety-seven miRNAs were significantly deregulated in ARMS and ERMS when compared to NSM. MiR-378 family members were dramatically decreased in RMS tumour tissue and cell lines. Interestingly, members of the miR-378 family presented as a possible target the insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF1R), a key signalling molecule in RMS.

Project description:Primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the central nervous system (CNS PNETs) are highly aggressive, poorly differentiated embryonal tumors occurring predominantly in young children. Using DNA methylation and gene expression profiling we have demonstrated that a significant proportion of institutionally diagnosed CNS PNETs display molecular profiles indistinguishable from those of various other well defined CNS tumor entities, facilitating diagnosis and appropiate therapy for children with these tumors. From the remaining fraction of CNS PNETs, we have identified four distinct new CNS tumor entities extending to other neuroepithelial tumors, each associated with a recurrent genetic alteration and particular histopathological and clinical features. These molecular entities, designated âCNS Neuroblastoma with FOXR2 activation (CNS NB FOXR2)â, âCNS Ewing sarcoma family tumor with CIC alteration (CNS EFT CIC)â, âCNS high grade neuroepithelial tumor with MN1 alteration (CNS HGNET MN1)â, and âCNS high grade neuroepithelial tumor with BCOR alteration (CNS HGNET BCOR)â, will enable meaningful clinical trials and the development of therapeutic strategies for patients affected by these poorly differentiated CNS tumors. 182 brain tumor samples were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays.

Project description:Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) form a subgroup of patients whose optimal clinical management and best possible access to care remain a challenge and survival lacks behind that of children while diagnosed with histologically similar tumors. Understanding the tumor biology that differentiate children from AYA-RMS could provide critical information and drive new initiatives to improve their final outcome. Gene expression profiling was evaluated in a RMS series of 48 tumor and 13 non-neoplastic tissues. GEP analysis detected 793 age-correlated genes in tumors. NOTCH2, FGFR1 were significantly down-modulated in AYA-RMS. GEP showed an increase in CD4 memory resting cells and a decrease in γδ T-cells in AYA-RMS. IHC analysis demonstrated an increase of infiltrated CD4, CD8 and neutrophils in AYA-RMS tumors.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Prognosis for patients with high grade and metastatic disease is still very poor, and survivors are burdened with long-lasting side effects. Therefore, more effective and less toxic therapies are needed. Surface proteins are ideal targets for antibody-based therapies, like bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell. Specific surface targets for RMS are scarce. Here, we performed a surfaceome profiling based on differential centrifugation enrichment of surface/membrane proteins and detection by LC-MS on six fusion-positive (FP) RMS cell lines, five fusion-negative (FN) RMS cell lines, and three RMS patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). 699 proteins were detected in the three RMS groups. Ranking based on expression levels and comparison to expression in normal MRC-5 fibroblasts and myoblasts, followed by statistical analysis, highlighted known RMS targets such as FGFR4, NCAM1, and CD276/B7-H3, and revealed AGRL2, JAM3, MEGF10, GPC4, CADM2, as potential targets for immunotherapies of RMS. L1CAM expression was investigated in RMS tissues and strong L1CAM expression was observed in more than 80% of alveolar RMS tumors, making it a practicable target for antibody-based therapies of alveolar RMS.

Understanding the tumor biology that differentiate children from AYA-RMS could provide critical information and drive new initiatives to improve their final outcome. MiRNA profile was evaluated in a RMS series of 49 tumor and 13 non-neoplastic tissues. MiRNAs analysis identified miR-223 over-expression and mir-431 down-regulation in AYA, validated by Real-Time PCR and miRNA ISH.
