Molecular profiling of rhabdoid tumors in a Smarcb1-deficient mouse model

ABSTRACT: Germline mutations of the SMARCB1 gene predispose to two distinct tumor syndromes: rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome, with malignant pediatric tumors mostly developing in brain and kidney, and familial schwannomatosis, with adulthood benign tumors involving cranial and peripheral nerves. The mechanisms by which SMARCB1 germline mutations predispose to rhabdoid tumors versus schwannomas are still unknown. Here, to understand the origin of these two types of SMARCB1-associated tumors, we generated different tissue- and developmental stage-specific conditional knockout mice carrying Smarcb1 and/or Nf2 deletion. Smarcb1 loss in early neural crest was necessary to initiate tumorigenesis in the cranial nerves and meninges with typical histological features and molecular profiles of human rhabdoid tumors. By inducing Smarcb1 loss at later developmental stage in the Schwann cell lineage, in addition to biallelic Nf2 gene inactivation, we generated the first mouse model developing schwannomas with the same underlying gene mutations found in schwannomatosis patients.

Global Profiling in Vestibular Schwannomas Shows Critical Deregulation of MicroRNAs and Upregulation in those included in Chromosomal Region 14q32

Project description:Background: Vestibular Schwannomas are benign tumors that arise from Schwann cells in the VIII cranial pair and usually present NF2 gene mutations and/or loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 22q. Deregulation has also been found in several genes, such as ERBB2 and NRG1. MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs approximately 21 to 23 nucleotides in length that regulate mRNAs, usually by degradation at the post-transcriptional level. Methods: We used microarray technology to test the deregulation of miRNAs and other non-coding RNAs present in GeneChip miRNA 1.0 (Affymetrix) over 16 vestibular Schwannomas and 3 control-nerves, validating 10 of them by qRT-PCR. Findings: Our results showed the deregulation of 174 miRNAs, including miR-10b, miR-206, miR-183 and miR-204, and the upregulation of miR-431, miR-221, miR-21 and miR-720, among others. The results also showed an aberrant expression of other non-coding RNAs. We also found a general upregulation of the miRNA cluster located at chromosome 14q32. Conclusion: Our results suggest that several miRNAs are involved in tumor formation and/or maintenance and that global upregulation of the 14q32 chromosomal site may represent a therapeutic target for this neoplasm. 16 Vestibular Schwannomas and 3 control-nerves were analysed

Chip of BRD4 in Neurofibromatosis type 2

Project description:Background: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by the development of multiple Schwannomas, usually occurring on both VIIIth (vestibular) cranial nerves. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins regulate gene transcription and their activity is required in a variety of cancers including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). The use of BET inhibitors as a therapeutic option to treat NF2 schwannomas has not been explored and is the focus of this study. Methods: A panel of normal and NF2-null Schwann cell and schwannoma cell lines were used to characterize the impact of the BET inhibitor JQ1 in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of action was explored by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of the BET BRD4, phospho-kinase arrays and immunohistochemistry of BRD4 in human vestibular schwannomas. Results: JQ1 inhibited the proliferation of NF2-null schwannoma and Schwann cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Further, loss of NF2 by CRISPR deletion or siRNA knockdown increased the sensitivity of cells to JQ1. Knock-down experiments identified BRD4 as the BET family member mediating the majority of JQ1 effects on cell proliferation. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated elevated levels of BRD4 protein in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 ChIP experiments identified the small G-protein Rac1 and PI3K signaling pathways as sensitive to JQ1. Conclusions: NF2 deficient Schwann cell and schwannoma cells are sensitive to BET inhibition, primarily mediated by BRD4, which is overexpressed in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 regulates Rac/Ras and PI3K signaling pathways and inhibition of these pathways by JQ1 impedes NF2 Schwannoma growth. These findings implicate BET inhibition as a therapeutic option for NF2-deficient schwannomas.

Microarray Analysis in Vestibular Schwannomas

Project description:Vestibular Schwannomas are benign neoplasms that arise from the vestibular nerve. The hallmark of these tumors is the biallelic inactivation of NF2. Transcriptomic alterations, such as the Nrg1/ErbB2 pathway, have been described in Schwannomas. Here, we have performed a whole transcriptomic analysis in 31 vestibular Schwannomas and 9 control nerves in the Affymetrix Gene 1.0ST platform, validated by quantitative Real-Time PCR using TaqMan Low Density Arrays. We performed a mutational analysis of NF2 by PCR/dHPLC and MLPA as well as a microsatellite marker analysis of the loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 22q. The microarray analysis showed that 1516 genes were deregulated, and 48 of the genes were validated by qRT-PCR. At least two genetic hits (allelic loss and/or gene mutation) in NF2 were found in 16 tumors, seven cases showed one hit and eight tumors showed no NF2 alteration. As conclusion, MET and associated genes such as ITGA4/B6, PLEXNB3/SEMA5 and CAV1 showed a clear deregulation in vestibular Schwannomas. In addition, androgen receptor (AR) downregulation may denote a hormonal effect or cause in this tumor. Furthermore, the osteopontin gene (SPP1), which is involved in Merlin protein degradation, was upregulated, which suggests that this mechanism may also exert a pivotal role in Schwannoma Merlin depletion. Finally, no major differences were found between tumors of different sizes, histological types or NF2 status, which suggests that at the mRNA level all Schwannomas, regardless of molecular and clinical characteristics, may share common features that can be used in the fight against them. In order to find target to fight against vestibular schwannoma, we performed an analysis of gene expression by microarrays.

Global expression profile in a combined study in low grade meningiomas and schwannomas shows upregulation in PDGF, CDH1, SLIT2 and MET.

Project description:Background: Schwannomas and grade I meningiomas are non-metastatic neoplasms that shares the common mutation of gene NF2. They usually appear in Neurofibromatosis type 2 patients. Currently, there is no drug treatment available for both tumors, so the use of wide expression technologies is crucial to find those therapeutic targets. Methodology: Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST was used to test global gene expression in 22 meningiomas, 31 schwannomas and, as non-tumoral controls, 3 healthy meningeal tissues, 8 non-tumoral nerves and 1 primary Schwann cells culture. A non-stringent P-cutoff and fold change were used to establish deregulated genes. Results and discussion: We found a subset of genes that were upregulated in meningiomas and schwannomas when compared to their respectively healthy tissue, including PDGFD, CDH1, SLIT2 and MET. Thus, those genes could be more thoroughly studied as targets in a possible combined treatment. Methodology: Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST was used to test global gene expression in 22 meningiomas, 31 schwannomas and, as non-tumoral controls, 3 healthy meningeal tissues, 8 non-tumoral nerves and 1 primary Schwann cells culture.

Transcriptional response to Smarcb1 re-expression in murine derived Smarcb1 deficient p53 null tumors

Project description:SMARCB1 (Snf5/Ini1/Baf47) is a potent tumor suppressor, the loss of which serves as the diagnostic feature in Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors (MRT) and Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors (AT/RT), two highly aggressive forms of pediatric neoplasms. Here, we restore Smarcb1 expression in cells derived from Smarcb1-deficient tumors which developed in Smarcb1-heterozygous p53-/- mice. Profiling Smarcb1 dependent gene expression we find genes which are dependent on Smarcb1 expression to be enriched for ECM and cell adhesion functions. We identify Igfbp7, which is related to the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins family, as a downstream target of Smarcb1 transcriptional activity, and show that re-introduction of Igfbp7 alone can hinder tumor development. Two cancer cell lines, 167 and 365, derived from Smarcb1-deficient tumors which developed in Smarcb1-heterozygous p53-/- mice were re-infected with a retro-viral vector for Smarcb1 re-expression or an empty retro-viral vector as control. Total-RNA was collected 3 days post infection so as to enrich for direct targets of Smarcb1 transcriptionaly regulated genes

Treatment of Novel Patient-Derived Xenograft and Cell Line Models with PI3K/AKT/mTOR Inhibitors Revealed Treatment Response Heterogeneity in NF2-Associated Schwannoma

Project description:Treatment of multiple intracranial schwannomas in patient with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is extremely unsatisfactory and innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The lack of clinically relevant NF2 models has severely hampered drug discovery in this rare disease. Here, we report for the first time the establishment and characterization of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell line models of NF2-associated schwannoma, which retain the gene mutations and transcriptome profile, and recapitulate the morphological and histopathological features with the patient tumors, retain patient NF2 mutations, and maintain gene expression profiles resembling the patient tumor profiles with the preservation of multiple key signaling pathways commonly dysregulated in human schwannoma. Using expression profiling, we found that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR networks are elevated in NF2-associated vestibular schwannomas, as well as in PDX models.

RNA sequencing data from primary atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) samples

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) are very aggressive childhood malignancies of the central nervous system. The underlying genetic cause are inactivating bi-allelic mutations in SMARCB1 or (rarely) in SMARCA4. The purpose of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of ATRTs with SMARCA4 mutations to those carrying SMARCB1 mutations.

Mouse Smarcb1-deficient models recapitulate subtypes of human rhabdoid tumors.

Project description:Rhabdoid Tumors (RT) are highly aggressive tumors that are frequently localized in the central nervous system (CNS) where they are termed atypical teratoid and rhabdoid tumors (ATRT). We generated conditional Smarcb1-deficient mouse model leads to CNS Smarcb1-deficient tumors. We used microarrays to compared gene expression profilings of various human and mouse tumors. Our data demonstrate that the Smarcb1-deficient mouse model recapitulates the diversity of human RT.
