Project description:We describe an 8 year old child who had disseminated anaplastic medulloblastoma and a deleterious heterozygous BRCA2 6174delT germline mutation. Molecular profiling was consistent with Group 4 medulloblastoma. The posterior fossa mass was resected and the patient received intensive chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation. Despite this, the patient succumbed to a second recurrence of his medulloblastoma, which presented eight months after diagnosis as malignant pleural and peritoneal effusions. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization and next generation sequencing analysis. In addition to the BRCA2 6174delT, the medulloblastoma cells had amplification of MYC, deletion at Xp11.2 and isochromosome 17, but no structural variations or overexpression of GFI1 or GFI1B. To our knowledge, this is the first pair of diagnosis/recurrence medulloblastoma cell lines, the only medulloblastoma cell lines with BRCA2 6174delT described to date, and the first reported case of a child with medulloblastoma associated with a germline BRCA2 6174delT who did not also have Fanconi anemia. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization with Agilent 400k CGH arrays and whole transcriptome RNASeq analysis.

Project description:We found a high frequency of heterozygous Fanconi-BRCA pathway mutations in pediatric T-ALL. BRCA2 was the most commonly mutated gene. We transduced Cas9-expressing Jurkat cells, which lacked an identifiable BRCA2 mutation, with an integration-defective lentiviral guide RNA expression construct targeting exon 11 of BRCA2 (NM_000059). Single-cell cloning and sequencing analysis revealed two distinct clones harboring monoallelic BRCA2 frameshift mutations, termed clones W4 and W5. Each of these clones was subjected to RNA sequencing analysis.

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited disease complicated by aplastic anemia. There is evidence that hematopoietic stem cells have lost self replicative capacity and undergo apoptosis when exposed to inhibitory cytokines including interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. We used gene expression microarrays to identify transcriptomal differences between bone marrow cells from normal volunteers and from children and adults with Fanconi anemia Experiment Overall Design: Fanconi anemia patients were identified using mitomycin C and/or diepoxybutane chromosomal breakage analysis. Eleven normal volunteers and 21 FA patients were studied. All FA patients with cytogenetic evidence of clonal evolution were excluded. All FA patients with acute leukemia were excluded. RNA was prepared from freshly obtained low density mononuclear cell fractions.

Project description:Prostate cancers exhibit a spectrum of molecular aberrations of which a substantial subset are amenable to targeted therapeutics. To determine the diversity of somatic alterations present in metastasis within and between individuals we characterized the genomic landscapes of 176 tumors acquired from 63 men. In contrast to the considerable variation across individuals, the molecular diversity of tumors within an individual was substantially less: alterations in putative drivers of cancer growth and cell cycle progression status were highly concordant. While androgen receptor activity was inversely related to proliferation, the expression of Fanconi Anemia complex genes was strongly associated with increased cell cycle progression. Inhibition of FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2 and BRCA2 expression reduced prostate cancer growth. The limited molecular diversity across metastases may result from bottlenecks imposed by the dissemination process, limited evolutionary time between metastatic seeding and tumor sampling, intermixing of tumor clones, and selection resulting from treatment pressures. Though exceptions exist, evaluating a single metastasis provides a reasonable assessment of the key molecular processes that occur throughout the spectrum of disseminated tumors within an individual, and may be used for selecting treatments based on predicted molecular vulnerabilities. Custom Agilent 44K whole human genome expression oligonucleotide microarrays were used to profile 171 CRPC tumors from 63 patients. RNA was amplified prior to hybridization against a common reference pool of prostate tumor cell lines.

Project description:Palb2 interacts with BRCA1 and BRCA2 in supercomplexes involved in DNA repair via homologous recombination. Heterozygous germline mutations in PALB2 confer a moderate risk of breast cancer while biallelic PALB2 mutations are linked to a severe form of Fanconi anaemia characterized by early childhood solid tumours and severe chromosomal instability. In contrast to BRCA1- or BRCA2-associated cancers, breast tumours in heterozygous PALB2 mutation carriers do not show loss of the wild type allele, suggesting PALB2 might be haploinsufficient for tumour suppression. To study the role of PALB2 in development and tumourigenesis, we have generated Palb2GT mouse mutants using a gene trap approach. Whereas Palb2GT/GT homozygous mutant embryos died at mid-gestation due to massive apoptosis, Palb2GT/+ heterozygous mice were viable and did not show any obvious abnormalities. Deletion of p53 alleviated the phenotype of Palb2GT/GT embryos, but did not rescue embryonic lethality. In addition, loss of p53 did not significantly collaborate with Palb2 heterozygosity in tumourigenesis in heterozygous or homozygous p53 knockout mice. Tumours arising in Palb2GT/+;p53+/– or Palb2GT/+;p53–/– compound mutant mice retained the wild type Palb2 allele and did not display increased genomic instability. Comparison of 15 Palb2GT/+;p53-/- and 11 Palb2+/+;p53-/- lymphomas. Spleen/liver DNA of the same animal was used as reference material.

Project description:Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an inherited disorder of DNA-repair caused by mutation in one of 20+ interrelated genes that repair intra-strand DNA crosslinks and rescue collapsed or stalled replication forks. The most common hematologic abnormality in FA is anemia, but progression to bone marrow failure (BMF), clonal hematopoiesis, or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may also occur. In prior studies, we found that Fanconi DNA-repair is required for successful emergency granulopoiesis; the process for rapid neutrophil production during the innate immune response. Specifically, Fancc-/- mice did not develop neutrophilia in response to emergency granulopoiesis stimuli, but instead exhibited apoptosis of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and differentiating neutrophils. Repeated emergency granulopoiesis challenges induced BMF in most Fancc-/- mice, with AML in survivors. In contrast, we found equivalent emergency granulopoiesis-induced neutrophilia in Fancc-/-Tp53+/- mice and wild type (WT) mice, without BMF in either. Since bone marrow neutrophil accumulation triggers termination of emergency granulopoiesis, we hypothesize neutrophilia protects Fancc-/-Tp53+/- bone marrow from the stress of sustained inflammatory physiology, as experienced by Fancc-/- mice.

Project description:Fanconi anemia is a rare inherited hematological disorder which commonly presents with bone marrow failure, developmental abnormalities and susceptibility to cancer with high rates of prevalence in ethnic populations. The objective of this study was to identify potential genes that aid in the progression of the disease or produce its principal symptoms and to hypothesize enabling roles for certain genes that are not part of the central molecular machinery causing the disease. A total of 2 Fanconi anemia samples were collected from patients who displayed characteristic FA features. All of them gave positive results for the DNA breakage test after mitomycin C treatment. Samples were referred by Dr. Sheila Mohan of REFAIN (Registry for Fanconi anemia in India). Whole genome microarray analysis of peripheral blood from 2 patient samples and one normal individual. Sequential analysis of microarray data was carried out using gene ontology and pathway analysis to identify candidate genes.
