Project description:Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare pediatric lung neoplasm that recapitulates developmental pathways of early embryonic lungs. As lung development proceeds with highly regulated mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, a DICER1 mutation in PPB generates a faulty lung differentiation program with resultant biphasic tumors composed of a primitive epithelial and mesenchymal stroma with early progenitor blastomatous cells. Deciphering of PPB progression has been hampered by the difficulty of culturing PPB cells, and specifically progenitor blastomatous cells. Here we show that in contrast with in-vitro culture, establishment of PPB patient-derived xenograft (PDX) in NOD-SCID mice selects for highly proliferating progenitor blastoma overexpressing critical regulators of lung development and multiple imprinted genes. These stem-like tumors were sequentially interrogated by gene profiling to show a FGF module that is activated alongside Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1). Targeting the progenitor blastoma and these transitions with an anti-NCAM1 immunoconjugate (Lorvotuzumab-mertansine) inhibited tumor growth and progression providing new paradigms for PPB therapeutics. Altogether, we successfully establish a novel in-vivo model of PPB and uncover anti-NCAM1 as a potential therapeutic strategy for this aggressive malignancy.

Project description:Treatment of multiple intracranial schwannomas in patient with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is extremely unsatisfactory and innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The lack of clinically relevant NF2 models has severely hampered drug discovery in this rare disease. Here, we report for the first time the establishment and characterization of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell line models of NF2-associated schwannoma, which retain the gene mutations and transcriptome profile, and recapitulate the morphological and histopathological features with the patient tumors, retain patient NF2 mutations, and maintain gene expression profiles resembling the patient tumor profiles with the preservation of multiple key signaling pathways commonly dysregulated in human schwannoma. Using expression profiling, we found that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR networks are elevated in NF2-associated vestibular schwannomas, as well as in PDX models.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) heterogeneity in the genomic and phenotypic properties has potentiated personalized approach against specific therapeutic targets of each GBM patient. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network has been established the comprehensive genomic abnormalities of GBM, which sub-classified GBMs into 4 different molecular subtypes. The molecular subtypes could be utilized to develop personalized treatment strategy for each subtype. We applied a classifying method, NTP (Nearest Template Prediction) method to determine molecular subtype of each GBM patient and corresponding orthotopic xenograft animal model. The models were derived from GBM cells dissociated from patient's surgical sample. Specific drug candidates for each subtype were selected using an integrated pharmacological network database (PharmDB), which link drugs with subtype specific genes. Treatment effects of the drug candidates were determined by in vitro limiting dilution assay using patient-derived GBM cells primarily cultured from orthotopic xenograft tumors. The consistent identification of molecular subtype by the NTP method was validated using TCGA database. When subtypes were determined by the NTP method, orthotopic xenograft animal models faithfully maintained the molecular subtypes of parental tumors. Subtype specific drugs not only showed significant inhibition effects on the in vitro clonogenicity of patient-derived GBM cells but also synergistically reversed temozolomide resistance of MGMT-unmethylated patient-derived GBM cells. However, inhibitory effects on the clonogenicity were not totally subtype-specific. Personalized treatment approach based on genetic characteristics of each GBM could make better treatment outcomes of GBMs, although more sophisticated classifying techniques and subtype specific drugs need to be further elucidated. Gene expression profiling experiments were conducted for 25 patient-derived xenograft glioblastoma samples using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays according to manufacturer's protocol.
