Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) are very aggressive childhood malignancies of the central nervous system. The underlying genetic cause are inactivating bi-allelic mutations in SMARCB1 or (rarely) in SMARCA4. The purpose of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of ATRTs with SMARCA4 mutations to those carrying SMARCB1 mutations.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of ATRTs and extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumors (eMRTs) samples harboring mutations in SMARCA4 and of small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) was performed . The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC arrays were used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs and 850,000 CpGs, respectively, in FFPE derived tumor samples. In total n=14 ATRT, n=6 eMRTs and n=28 SCCOHT samples were analyzed.

Project description:Extracranial rhabdoid tumours (ECRT) are an aggressive malignancy of infancy and early childhood. The vast majority of cases demonstrate inactivation of SMARCB1 (ECRT_SMARCB1) but, rarely, ECRT can harbour the alternative inactivation of SMARCA4 (ECRT_SMARCA4) instead of SMARCB1. To explore the place of ECRTSMARCA4 in the "rhabdoid tumour" spectrum, we generated and collected from previous studies genome-wide DNA methylation array data (n = 85) from Atypical/Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumours (ATRT), ECRT_SMARCB1, ECRT_SMARCA4 and small cell carcinomas of the ovary, hypercalcaemic type (SCCOHT) tumours. Using dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering approaches, our results demonstrate that ECRT_SMARCA4 display an intermediate DNA methylation profile between SCCOHT and ECRT_SMARCB1.

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:Rhabdoid Tumors (RT) are highly aggressive tumors that are frequently localized in the central nervous system (CNS) where they are termed atypical teratoid and rhabdoid tumors (ATRT). We generated conditional Smarcb1-deficient mouse model leads to CNS Smarcb1-deficient tumors. We used microarrays to compared gene expression profilings of various human and mouse tumors. Our data demonstrate that the Smarcb1-deficient mouse model recapitulates the diversity of human RT.

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 tumors (AT/RT) are highly aggressive CNS-tumors of infancy and early childhood. Hallmark is the surprisingly simple genomics with a truncating mutation in the SMARCB1 gene as the oncogenic driver. Nevertheless, AT/RTs are infiltrated by immune cells and even clonally expanded T-cells. However, it is unclear, what T-cells might recognize on AT/RT cells. Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of naturally presented HLA-class-I and class-II ligands on n=23 AT/RTs. MS-based analysis of the HLA-ligandome revealed 55 class-I and 139 class-II peptides from tumor-associated proteins.

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) are very aggressive childhood malignancies of the central nervous system. The underlying genetic cause are inactivating bi-allelic mutations in SMARCB1 or (rarely) in SMARCA4. ATRT-SMARCA4 have been associated with a higher frequency of germline mutations, younger age, and an inferior prognosis in comparison to SMARCB1 mutated cases. Based on their DNA methylation profiles and transcriptomics, SMARCB1 mutated ATRTs have been divided into three distinct molecular subgroups: ATRT-TYR, ATRT-SHH, and ATRT-MYC. These subgroups differ in terms of age at diagnosis, tumor location, type of SMARCB1 alterations, and overall survival. ATRT-SMARCA4 are, however, less well understood, and it remains unknown, whether they belong to one of the described ATRT subgroups. Here, we examined 14 ATRT-SMARCA4 by global DNA methylation analyses. We show that they form a separate group segregating from SMARCB1 mutated ATRTs and from other SMARCA4-deficient tumors like small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) or SMARCA4 mutated extra-cranial malignant rhabdoid tumors. In contrast, medulloblastoma (MB) samples with heterozygous SMARCA4 mutations do not group separately, but with established MB subgroups. RNA sequencing of ATRT-SMARCA4 confirmed the clustering results based on DNA methylation profiling and displayed an absence of typical signature genes upregulated in SMARCB1 deleted ATRT. In summary, our results suggest that, in line with previous clinical observations, ATRT-SMARCA4 should be regarded as a distinct molecular subgroup.

Project description:Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is the most common malignant brain tumor in infants and is characterized by loss of nuclear SMARCB1 protein expression. Recent studies show that AT/RTs comprise three molecular subgroups with epigenetic differences, including distinct expression patterns of genes involved in ciliogenesis, but little is known on the functional role of primary cilia in the biology of AT/RT. Here, we show that primary cilia are present across all AT/RT subgroups with specific enrichment in AT/RT-TYR patient samples. Furthermore, we demonstrate that primary ciliogenesis contributes to AT/RT biology in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, we observed a significant decrease in proliferation and clonogenicity following disruption of primary ciliogenesis in AT/RT cell line models. Apoptosis was significantly increased via the induction of STAT1 and DR5 signaling, as detected by proteogenomic profiling. In a Drosophila model of SMARCB1 deficiency, concomitant knockdown of several cilia-associated genes resulted in a substantial shift of the lethal phenotype with more than 20% of flies reaching adulthood. Finally, we demonstrated significantly extended survival in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of AT/RT upon disruption of primary ciliogenesis, confirming a survival benefit across different species with SMARCB1 deficiency. Altogether, our findings indicate that targeting primary ciliogenesis or its downstream signaling may constitute a novel therapeutic approach for AT/RT.

Project description:Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) is a rare but highly aggressive undifferentiated solid tumour arising in the central nervous system and predominantly affecting infants and young children. ATRT is exclusively characterised by the inactivation of SMARCB1, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex that is essential for the regulation of large sets of genes required for normal development and differentiation. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are a promising anticancer therapy and are able to mimic the normal acetylation functions of SMARCB1 in SMARCB1-deficient cells and drive multilineage differentiation in extracranial rhabdoid tumours. However, the potential efficacy of HDACi in ATRT is unknown. Here, we show that human ATRT cells are highly responsive to the HDACi panobinostat and that sustained treatment leads to growth arrest, increased cell senescence, decreased clonogenicity and induction of a neurogenesis gene expression profile. Furthermore, in an orthotopic ATRT xenograft model, continuous panobinostat treatment inhibits tumour growth, increases survival and drives neuronal differentiation as shown by the expression of the neuronal marker, TUJ1. Collectively, this preclinical study supports the therapeutic potential of panobinostat-mediated differentiation therapy for ATRT.
