Project description:Whole genome sequencing detected structural rearrangements of TERT in 17/75 high stage neuroblastoma with 5 cases resulting from chromothripsis. Rearrangements were associated with increased TERT expression and targeted immediate up- and down-stream regions of TERT, placing in 7 cases a super-enhancer close to the breakpoints. TERT rearrangements (23%), ATRX deletions (11%) and MYCN amplifications (37%) identify three almost non-overlapping groups of high stage neuroblastoma, each associated with very poor prognosis

Project description:RNA-seq for four neuroblastoma samples (Paired-end protocol). Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the peripheral nervous system in which structural chromosome aberrations are emblematic of aggressive tumors. In this study, we investigated somatic rearrangements in two neuroblastoma cell lines and two primary tumors using paired-end sequencing of mate-pair libraries (SRA accession number ERP001414) and RNA-seq. In one cell line and in the two primary tumors, this approach confirmed the localization of the majority of rearrangements within one or two chromosomes, consistent with the phenomenon of chromothripsis. RNA-seq experiments confirmed expression of several predicted chimeric genes and genes with disrupted exon structure including ALK, NBAS, FHIT, PTPRD and ODZ4. RNA-seq analysis allowed the identification of abnormal transcripts expressed from genomic rearrangements that may be involved in neuroblastoma oncogenesis.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an often aggressive childhood cancer with several large chromosomal regions showing recurrent gains or losses. Chromosome 7q is gained in 40-60% of neuroblastomas, but despite being the second most frequent genomic aberration, no oncogenes have been linked to 7q gain. We performed expression profiling and array CGH on 88 primary neuroblastoma tumors to identify a 7q oncogene. We assayed neuroblastoma cell lines and combined bioinformatic analyses on the in vitro and in vivo data.

Project description:The aim of this study is to determine the clinical relevance of telomerase activation versus ALT as biomarkers in pre-treatment neuroblastoma, and to assess the potential value of telomerase as a therapeutic target. Therefore, the genomic status of TERT and MYCN was assessed in 457 pretreatment neuroblastomas by fluorescence-in-situ-hybridization. ALT was examined in 273/457 tumors by detection of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies, and TERT expression was determined by 4x44k microarrays in 223 of these. The presence of activated telomerase, i.e., TERT rearrangements, MYCN amplification, or high TERT expression without these alterations, was associated with poorest overall survival, and was an independent prognostic marker in multivariable analyses.

Project description:Our study proposes a precise mechanistic classification of clinical neuroblastoma phenotypes that is based on telomere maintenance mechanisms and RAS or p53 pathway mutations. A crucial factor in telomere maintenance is overexpression of TERT. We therefore determined a TERT expression threshold to identify MYCN-WT TERT-WT tumors whose TERT mRNA levels are comparable to those of tumors bearing MYCN or TERT alterations.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasm that remains of dramatic prognosis in its aggressive forms. Activating mutations of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor have been identified in sporadic and familial cases of this cancer. We generated knock-in mice carrying the two most frequent Alk mutations observed in neuroblastoma patients. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the impact of ALK mutations on neuroblastoma formation in a MYCN amplified background. We selected several murine neuroblastoma tumors for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We generated three groups of tumors: 10 MYCN amplified tumors, 11 MYCN amplified/ALK F1174L tumors and 10 MYCN amplified/ALK R1275Q tumors.
