Project description:OBJECTIVE: Due to the common occurrence of peritumoral cysts throughout the central nervous system tumors, hemangioblastomas (HBs) provide a model of cyst to further study the molecular mechanisms of peritumoral cyst formation. METHODS: We conducted an integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics analysis on solid and cyst HB samples, to elucidate the changes in lipid profile and the expression levels of genes associated with lipid metabolism in the cyst formation. RESULTS: Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes between the solid and cystic HBs. The lipidomic analysis further showed a significant reduction in the abundance of triacylglycerol, ceramide, lysophosphatidylcholine, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and an increase in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in the cystic group. Besides, bioinformatics analysis revealed altered lipid biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism and phospholipase activity in the cyst HBs. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that aberrant lipid metabolism is a causative factor of cyst formation in HBs, and provide novel insights into the role of lipid metabolism in HBs.
Project description:Through genome-wide profiling of chromatin dynamics, we revealed a profound increase of global chromatin accessibility and a switch from H3K9me3 to H3K9ac on cis-regulatory DNA elements of cyst-associated genes during cystogenesis. In an integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis, we identified a transcription factor network associated with dynamic shifts in chromatin states. Functionally, we showed that inhibition of H3K9ac acetyltransferase or H3K9me3 demethylase restored chromatin states and gene expression program to slow cyst growth in PLD mice.
