Project description:Soft tissue sarcoma diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC-arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extremity soft tissue UPS with the aim to identify molecular subtype signatures and genomic prognostic markers. Both the gains/losses and gene expression signatures revealed striking similarities between UPS and LMS, which were indistinguishable using unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis and significance analysis for microarrays. Gene expression analysis revealed just 9 genes, among them Tropomyosin beta, that were differentially expressed. Loss of 4q31 (encompassing the SMAD1 locus), loss of 18q22 and tumor necrosis were identified as independent predictors of metastasis in multivariate stepwise Cox regression analysis. Combined analysis applying loss of 4q31 and 18q22 and presence of necrosis improved the area under receiver operating characteristic curve for metastasis prediction from 0.64 to 0.86. The extensive genetic similarities between extremity soft tissue UPS and LMS suggest a shared lineage of these STS subtypes and the new and independent genetic prognosticators identified hold promise for refined prognostic determination in high-grade, genetically complex STS.

Genomic DNA was extracted from a total of 49 samples, 31 Undifferentiated pleomorphic Sarcomas and 18 Leiomyosarcomas. The DNA was labeled using Bioprime array CGH labeling kit (Invitrogen). Promega pooled male DNA was used as reference. Labeled DNA was hybridized onto BAC arrays containing ~32 000 BAC clones printed in singlets. BAC arrays were produced at the SWEGENE DNA Microarray Facility at Lund University.

Project description:Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is an extremely rare, highly vascular soft tissue sarcoma affecting predominantly adolescents and young adults. In an attempt to gain insight into the pathobiology of this enigmatic tumor, we performed the first genome-wide gene expression profiling study.

Project description:Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) of tendons and aponeuroses is a deadly soft-tissue malignancy resembling melanoma, with a predilection for young adults. EWS-ATF1, the fusion product of a balanced chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 12, is considered the definitional feature of the tumor. Conditional expression of the EWS-ATF1 human cDNA in the mouse generates CCS-like tumors with 100 percent penetrance. Tumors, developed through varied means of initiating expression of the fusion oncogene, model human CCS morphologically, immunohistochemically, and by genome-wide expression profiling. We also demonstrate that while fusion oncogene expression in later stages of differentiation can transform mesenchymal progenitor cells and generate tumors resembling CCS generally, expression in cells retaining stem cell markers permits the full melanoma-related phenotype. Nielsen et al. ("Molecular characterisation of soft tissue tumours: a gene expression study"; PMID 11965276) used microarray to compare a variety of soft-tissue neoplasms morphologically similar to clear cell sarcoma. In our study, we use their expression data (not previously submitted) in the profiling of our mouse mutant that models clear cell sarcoma. The mRNA profiles of a variety of soft-tissue neoplasm samples are examined by HEEBO microarrays. Included here are a total of 6 different types of tumors, and 5 of them have at least one biological replicate. The authors of "Molecular characterisation of soft tissue tumours: a gene expression study" (PMID 11965276) performed these microarray experiments, including data processing and normalization. We obtained these expression data, and used them to train a support vector machine, which was later used to characterize our mouse model of clear cell sarcoma (data submitted elsewhere).

Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.
