Project description:The newly proposed entity CNS LGDIT-INI1 represents a low-grade tumor composed of inconspicuous SMARCB1-deficient tumor cells diffusely infiltrating the brain. Progression of CNS LGDIT-INI1 to ATRT(-MYC) has been reported. We published the first case report on a child harboring CNS LGDIT-INI1, which also featured a high-grade ATRT component. Moreover, we present the results of extensive spatial molecular profiling of this tumor.

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is one of the most common brain tumors in infants. Although the prognosis of ATRT patients is poor, some patients respond favorably to current treatments, suggesting molecular inter-tumor heterogeneity. To investigate this further, we genetically and epigenetically analyzed a large series of human ATRTs. Three distinct molecular subgroups of ATRTs, associated with differences in demographics, tumor location, and type of SMARCB1 alterations, were identified. Whole-genome DNA and RNA sequencing found no recurrent mutations in addition to SMARCB1 that would explain the differences between subgroups. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and H3K27Ac chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing of primary tumors, however, revealed clear differences, leading to the identification of subgroup-specific regulatory networks and potential therapeutic targets. 49 ATRT samples were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. ---------------------------------------- This submission consists of the expression data for 49 of 170 samples only

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

Project description:Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a fatal pediatric malignancy of the central neural system lacking effective treatment options. It belongs to rhabdoid tumor family usually caused by biallelic inactivation of SMARCB1, encoding a key subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes. Previous studies proposed that SMARCB1 loss drives rhabdoid tumor by promoting cell cycle through activating transcription of cyclin D1 while suppressing p16. However, low cyclin D1 protein expression is observed in most ATRT patient tumors. The underlying mechanism and therapeutic implication of this molecular trait remain unknown. Here, we show that SMARCB1 loss in ATRT leads to the reduction of cyclin D1 expression by upregulating MIR17HG, a microRNA (miRNA) cluster known to generate multiple miRNAs targeting CCND1. Furthermore, we find that this cyclin D1 deficiency in ATRT results in marked in vitro and in vivo sensitivity to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib as a single agent. Our study identifies a novel genetic interaction between SMARCB1 and MIR17HG in regulating cyclin D1 in ATRT and suggests a rationale to treat ATRT patients with FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a highly malignant brain tumor predominantly occurring in infants. Mutations of the SMARCB1 gene are the characteristic genetic lesion. We characterized a series of SMARCB1-deficient intracranial tumors sharing distinct clinical, histopathological and molecular features. Median age of the four females and three males was 40 years (range: 15-61 years). All tumors were located in the pineal region. Histopathologically, these tumors displayed spindled and epithelioid cells embedded in a desmoplastic stroma alternating with a variable extent of a loose myxoid matrix. All cases showed loss of nuclear SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression. After DNA isolation from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples, purification and bisulfite conversion using standard protocols provided by the manufacturer, all samples were analyzed using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array or the MethylationEPIC BeadChip array (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). Six samples passed initial quality control and were further analyzed. Most DNA methylation profiles were not classifiable using the Heidelberg Brain Tumor Classifier (version v11b4). On unsupervised t-SNE analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis, however, all tumors grouped closely together and showed similarities with ATRT-MYC.

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT) are known for their heterogeneity concerning pathophysiology and outcome. However, predictive factors within distinct subgroups still need to be uncovered. Using multiplex immunofluorescent staining and singe-cell RNA sequencing we unraveled distinct compositions of the immunological tumor microenvironment (TME) across ATRT subgroups. CD68+ cells predominantly infiltrate ATRT-SHH and ATRT-MYC and are a negative prognostic factor for patients’ survival. Within the murine ATRT-MYC and ATRT-SHH TME, Cd68+ macrophages are core to intercellular communication with tumor cells. In ATRT-MYC distinct tumor cell phenotypes express macrophage marker genes. These cells are involved in the acquisition of chemotherapy resistance in our relapse xenograft mouse model. In conclusion, the tumor cell-macrophage interaction contributes to ATRT-MYC heterogeneity and tumor recurrence.

Project description:Human cancer typically results from the stochastic accumulation of multiple oncogene-activating and tumors suppressor gene inactivating mutations, however this process takes time and especially in the context of certain pediatric cancer, fewer but more ‘impactful’ mutations may in short order produce the full-blown cancer phenotype. This is well-exemplified by the highly aggressive malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), where the only gene classically showing recurrent inactivation is SMARCB1, a subunit member of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex. This is true of all three presentations of MRT including MRT of kidney (MRTK), MRT of the central nervous system (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor – ATRT) and Extracranial, Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumor (EERT). Our reverse modeling of rhabdoid tumors with isogenic cell lines, either induced or not induced, to express SMARCB1 showed widespread differential chromatin remodeling indicative of altered BAF complex activity with ensuant histone modifications when tested by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq). The changes due to reintroduction of SMARCB1 were preponderantly at typical enhancers with tandem BAF complex occupancy at these sites and related gene activation, as substantiated also by transcriptomic data. Indeed, for both MRTK and ATRT cells, there is evidence of an overlap between SMARCB1-dependent enhancer activation and tissue-specific lineage determining genes. These genes are inactive in the tumor state, conceivably arresting the cells in a primitive/undifferentiated state. This epigenetic dysregulation from inactivation of a chromatin remodeling complex subunit contributes to an improved understanding of the complex pathophysiological basis of MRT, one of the most lethal and aggressive human cancers.
