Abstract: Diffuse glioma is characterized by a poor prognosis and a universal resistance to therapy, though the evolutionary processes behind this resistance remain unclear. The Glioma Longitudinal Analysis (GLASS) Consortium has previously demonstrated that therapy-induced selective pressures shape the genetic evolution of glioma in a stochastic manner. However, single-cell studies have revealed that malignant glioma cells are highly plastic and transition their cell state in response to diverse challenges, including changes in the microenvironment and the administration of standard-of-care therapy. To interrogate the factors driving therapy resistance in diffuse glioma, we collected and analyzed RNA- and/or DNA-sequencing data from temporally separated tumor pairs of over 300 adult patients with IDH-wild-type or IDH-mutant glioma. In a subset of these tumor pairs, we complemented these data with single-nucleus RNAseq and multiplex imaging mass cytometry at each time point. Recurrent tumors exhibited diverse changes that were attributable to changes in histological features, somatic alterations, and microenvironment interactions. IDH-wild-type tumors overall were more invasive at recurrence and exhibited increased expression of neuronal signaling programs that reflected a possible role for neuronal interactions in promoting glioma progression. In contrast, recurrent IDH-mutant tumors exhibited a significant increase in proliferative expression programs that correlated with discrete genetic changes. Hypermutation and acquired CDKN2A homozygous deletions associated with an increase in proliferating stem-like malignant cells at recurrence in both glioma subtypes, reflecting active tumor expansion. A transition to the mesenchymal phenotype was associated with the presence of a specific myeloid cell state defined by unique ligand-receptor interactions with malignant cells, providing opportunities to target this transition through therapy. Collectively, our results uncover recurrence-associated changes in genetics and the microenvironment that can be targeted to shape disease progression following initial diagnosis.

Abstract: Background Although IDH-mutant tumors aggregate to the frontotemporal regions, the clustering pattern of IDH-wildtype tumors is less clear. As voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) has several limitations for solid lesion mapping, a new technique, whole-lesion phenotype analysis (WLPA), is developed. We utilize WLPA to assess spatial clustering of tumors with IDH mutation from The Cancer Genome Atlas and The Cancer Imaging Archive. Methods The degree of tumor clustering segmented from T1 weighted images is measured to every other tumor by a function of lesion similarity to each other via the Hausdorff distance. Each tumor is ranked according to the degree to which its neighboring tumors show identical phenotypes, and through a permutation technique, significant tumors are determined. VLSM was applied through a previously described method. Results A total of 244 patients of mixed-grade gliomas (WHO II–IV) are analyzed, of which 150 were IDH-wildtype and 139 were glioblastomas. VLSM identifies frontal lobe regions that are more likely associated with the presence of IDH mutation but no regions where IDH-wildtype was more likely to be present. WLPA identifies both IDH-mutant and -wildtype tumors exhibit statistically significant spatial clustering. Conclusion WLPA may provide additional statistical power when compared with VLSM without making several potentially erroneous assumptions. WLPA identifies tumors most likely to exhibit particular phenotypes, rather than producing anatomical maps, and may be used in conjunction with VLSM to understand the relationship between tumor morphology and biologically relevant tumor phenotypes.

Abstract: SummaryTumor adaptation or selection is thought to underlie therapy resistance of gliomas. To investigate the longitudinal epigenetic evolution of gliomas in response to therapeutic pressure, we performed an epigenomic analysis of 143 matched initial and recurrent patients with IDH-wildtype (IDHwt) and IDH-mutant (IDHmut) gliomas. IDHwt gliomas showed a longitudinally stable epigenome with relatively low levels of global methylation, whereas the epigenome of IDHmut gliomas showed initial high levels genome-wide of DNA methylation that was progressively reduced to levels similar to those of IDHwt tumors. By integrating DNA methylation and gene expression data, adaptive changes of putative master regulators of the cell cycle and of differentiation were seen in IDHmut recurrent tumors. Furthermore, relapses of IDHmut tumors were accompanied by histological progression which in turn influenced survival, as validated in an independent cohort. Finally, the initial cell composition of the tumor microenvironment differed between IDHwt and IDHmut tumors and changed differentially following treatment, suggesting increased neo-angiogenesis and T-cell infiltration upon treatment for IDHmut gliomas. Our study provides one of the largest cohorts of paired glioma samples profiled with epigenomics, transcriptomics and genomics; and our results demonstrate that the treatment of IDHmut gliomas reshapes the epigenome towards an IDHwt-like phenotype. Accordingly, the prevalent practice of early genotoxic treatment in this patient population may need to be revisited.

Abstract: SummaryTo interrogate the factors driving therapy resistance in diffuse glioma, we collected and analyzed RNA and/or DNA sequencing data from temporally separated tumor pairs of 292 adult patients with IDH-wild-type or IDH-mutant glioma. Tumors recurred in distinct manners that were dependent on IDH mutation status and attributable to changes in histological feature composition, somatic alterations, and microenvironment interactions. Hypermutation and acquired CDKN2A deletions associated with an increase in proliferating stem-like malignant cells at recurrence in both glioma subtypes, reflecting active tumor growth. IDH-wild-type tumors were more invasive at recurrence, and their malignant cells exhibited increased expression of neuronal signaling programs that reflected a possible role for neuronal interactions in promoting glioma progression. Mesenchymal transition was associated with the presence of a specific myeloid cell state defined by unique ligand-receptor interactions with malignant cells. Collectively, our results uncover recurrence-associated changes that could be targetable to shape disease progression following initial diagnosis.

Abstract: BackgroundMedulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor that originates in the cerebellum and brainstem. Frequent somatic mutations and deregulated expression of epigenetic regulators in MB highlight the substantial role of epigenetic alterations. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is a highly abundant cytosine modification in the developing cerebellum and is regulated by ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes.ResultsWe investigate the alterations of 5hmC and TET enzymes in MB and their significance to cerebellar cancer formation. We show total abundance of 5hmC is reduced in MB, but identify significant enrichment of MB-specific 5hmC marks at regulatory regions of genes implicated in stem-like properties and Nanog-binding motifs. While TET1 and TET2 levels are high in MBs, only knockout ofTet1in the smoothened (SmoA1)mouse model attenuates uncontrolled proliferation, leading to a favorable prognosis. The pharmacologicalTet1inhibition reduces cell viability andplatelet-derived growth factorsignaling pathway-associated genes.ConclusionsThese results together suggest a potential key role of 5hmC and indicate an oncogenic nature for TET1 in MB tumorigenesis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for MBs.

7. CSIG-25. BAI1/ADGRB1 REGULATES TGFβ1-INDUCED MESENCHYMAL SWITCH IN MEDULLOBLASTOMA

Abstract: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. MB tends to metastasize to the brain meninges and subarachnoid space and the spinal cord. Leptomeningeal metastasis is frequently found at initial diagnosis and leads to tumor relapse after standard treatment. Leptomeningeal metastasis remains a major challenge and is related with poor outcome. Acquiring a better knowledge of molecular defects underlying metastatic disease is essential for the development of effective therapies. Brain-specific Angiogenesis Inhibitor 1 (BAI1/ADGRB1) is a transmembrane receptor of the adhesion GPCR family widely expressed in normal brain, but its expression is lost in the majority of medulloblastoma through epigenetic silencing. We reported that BAI1 protects p53 from Mdm2-mediated degradation and regulate tumor growth in medulloblastoma (Zhu D. et al, Cancer Cell, 2018). However, it is unclear whether BAI1 loss is important for tumor invasion and the mesenchymal phenotype in MB. Microarray analysis of the published MB dataset revealed that low BAI1 mRNA expression correlates with poor outcome and with expression of many key mesenchymal genes, including Fibronectin1, SLUG, and TWIST1. Restoration of BAI1 expression in human MB cells suppresses mesenchymal gene expression in culture, and dramatically decreases brain tumor invasion. Mechanistically, we found that the N-terminal thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR#1) of BAI1 inhibits the maturation process of TGFβ1, a key growth factor involved in EMT. BAI1 is silenced epigenetically in MB cells by methylated CpG-binding protein MBD2, and its expression can be reactivated by KCC-07, a blood-brain barrier permeable MBD2 inhibitor. We found that restoration of BAI1 expression by KCC-07 treatment dramatically reduced tumor cell invasion of MB cells. These experiments demonstrate that epigenetic silencing of BAI1 is important for activation of the MB invasive phenotype through TGFβ1 pathway activation. Epigenetic targeting of this process by KCC-07 can reduce MB invasion.

Abstract: Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma encompasses a clinically and molecularly diverse group of cancers of the developing central nervous system. Here, we use unbiased sequencing of the transcriptome across a large cohort of 250 tumors to reveal differences among molecular subtypes of the disease, and demonstrate the previously unappreciated importance of non-coding RNA transcripts. We identify alterations within the cAMP dependent pathway (GNAS, PRKAR1A) which converge on GLI2 activity and show that 18% of tumors have a genetic event that directly targets the abundance and/or stability of MYCN. Furthermore, we discover an extensive network of fusions in focally amplified regions encompassing GLI2, and several loss-of-function fusions in tumor suppressor genes PTCH1, SUFU and NCOR1. Molecular convergence on a subset of genes by nucleotide variants, copy number aberrations, and gene fusions highlight the key roles of specific pathways in the pathogenesis of Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma and open up opportunities for therapeutic intervention., Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma (Shh-MB) comprises four subtypes each with distinct clinical traits. Here the authors characterize the genome, transcriptome, and methylome of Shh-MB subtypes, revealing a complex fusion landscape and the molecular convergence of MYCN and cAMP signaling pathways.

Abstract: Medulloblastoma, a common pediatric malignant central nervous system tumour, represent a small proportion of brain tumours in adults. Previously it has been shown that in adults, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)-activated tumours predominate, with Wingless-type (WNT) and Group 4 being less common, but molecular risk stratification remains a challenge. We performed an integrated analysis consisting of genome-wide methylation profiling, copy number profiling, somatic nucleotide variants and correlation of clinical variables across a cohort of 191 adult medulloblastoma cases identified through the Medulloblastoma Advanced Genomics International Consortium. We identified 30 WNT, 112 SHH, 6 Group 3, and 41 Group 4 tumours. Patients with SHH tumours were significantly older at diagnosis compared to other subgroups (p < 0.0001). Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) for WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4 tumours was 64.4 (48.0-86.5), 61.9% (51.6-74.2), 80.0% (95% CI 51.6-100.0), and 44.9% (95% CI 28.6-70.7), respectively (p = 0.06). None of the clinical variables (age, sex, metastatic status, extent of resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) were associated with subgroup-specific PFS. Survival among patients with SHH tumours was significantly worse for cases with chromosome 3p loss (HR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.6; p = 0.02), chromosome 10q loss (HR 4.6, 95% CI 2.3-9.4; p < 0.0001), chromosome 17p loss (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1-4.8; p = 0.02), and PTCH1 mutations (HR 2.6, 95% CI 1.1-6.2; p = 0.04). The prognostic significance of 3p loss and 10q loss persisted in multivariable regression models. For Group 4 tumours, chromosome 8 loss was strongly associated with improved survival, which was validated in a non-overlapping cohort (combined cohort HR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-0.7; p = 0.007). Unlike in pediatric medulloblastoma, whole chromosome 11 loss in Group 4 and chromosome 14q loss in SHH was not associated with improved survival, where MYCN, GLI2 and MYC amplification were rare. In sum, we report unique subgroup-specific cytogenetic features of adult medulloblastoma, which are distinct from those in younger patients, and correlate with survival disparities. Our findings suggest that clinical trials that incorporate new strategies tailored to high-risk adult medulloblastoma patients are urgently needed.

Abstract: The evolutionary processes that drive universal therapeutic resistance in adult patients with diffuse glioma remain unclear1,2. Here we analysed temporally separated DNA-sequencing data and matched clinical annotation from 222 adult patients with glioma. By analysing mutations and copy numbers across the three major subtypes of diffuse glioma, we found that driver genes detected at the initial stage of disease were retained at recurrence, whereas there was little evidence of recurrence-specific gene alterations. Treatment with alkylating agents resulted in a hypermutator phenotype at different rates across the glioma subtypes, and hypermutation was not associated with differences in overall survival. Acquired aneuploidy was frequently detected in recurrent gliomas and was characterized by IDH mutation but without co-deletion of chromosome arms 1p/19q, and further converged with acquired alterations in the cell cycle and poor outcomes. The clonal architecture of each tumour remained similar over time, but the presence of subclonal selection was associated with decreased survival. Finally, there were no differences in the levels of immunoediting between initial and recurrent gliomas. Collectively, our results suggest that the strongest selective pressures occur during early glioma development and that current therapies shape this evolution in a largely stochastic manner.

Prior studies mostly focused on transcriptome or viral DNA integrated in tumor cells. To investigate for the presence of viral particles, we performed metagenomics sequencing on viral capsid-protected nucleic acids from 12 primary and 8 metastatic human brain tumors. One brain tumor metastasized from a skin melanoma harbored two new human anellovirus species, Torque teno mini virus Emory1 (TTMV Emory1) and Emory2 (TTMV Emory2), while the remaining 19 samples did not reveal any exogenous viral sequences. Their genomes share 63-67% identity with other TTMVs, and phylogenetic clustering supports their classification within the Betatorquevirus genus. This is the first identification of betatorqueviruses in brain tumors. The viral DNA was in its expected non-integrated circular form, and it is unclear if the viruses contributed to tumor formation. Whether the viruses originated from blood, or the primary skin tumor could not be ascertained. Overall, our results demonstrate the usefulness of viral metagenomics to detect previously unknown exogenous virus in human brain tumors. They further suggest that active viral infections are rare events in brain tumors, but support a follow-up larger scale study to quantify their frequency in different brain tumor subtypes.

Abstract: Many forms of solid tumor have a characteristic feature known as hypoxia, which describes a low or non-existent presence of oxygen in the cellular microenvironment. This decrease in oxygen causes activation of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway, which activates the transcription of many genes that cause cell proliferation, metastasis, increased glycolysis and angiogenesis. Increased HIF expression has been linked with poor patient prognosis, increased malignancy, and therapeutic resistance. Previous work in our lab has identified 1 and 2 as inhibitors of the HIF pathway, specifically as disrupters of the p300-HIF-1α complex formation. A library of sulfonamide analogs has been designed and synthesized with the intent of examining the SAR of this series of compounds and improving potency and physicochemical properties as compared with lead compounds 1 and 2. At the end, we have achieved a thorough understanding of the structural features critical for future optimization work. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Purpose: Exploitation of altered glycosylation in cancer is a major goal for the design of new cancer therapy. Here, we designed a novel secreted chimeric signal peptide–Galectin-3 conjugate (sGal-3) and investigated its ability to induce cancer-specific cell death by targeting aberrantly N-glycosylated cell surface receptors on cancer cells. Experimental Design: sGal-3 was genetically engineered from Gal-3 by extending its N-terminus with a noncleavable signal peptide from tissue plasminogen activator. sGal-3 killing ability was tested on normal and tumor cells in vitro and its antitumor activity was evaluated in subcutaneous lung cancer and orthotopic malignant glioma models. The mechanism of killing was investigated through assays detecting sGal-3 interaction with specific glycans on the surface of tumor cells and the elicited downstream proapoptotic signaling. Results: We found sGal-3 preferentially binds to β1 integrin on the surface of tumor cells due to aberrant N-glycosylation resulting from cancer-associated upregulation of several glycosyltransferases. This interaction induces potent cancer-specific death by triggering an oncoglycan-β1/calpain/caspase-9 proapoptotic signaling cascade. sGal-3 could reduce the growth of subcutaneous lung cancers and malignant gliomas in brain, leading to increased animal survival. Conclusions: We demonstrate that sGal-3 kills aberrantly glycosylated tumor cells and antagonizes tumor growth through a novel integrin β1–dependent cell-extrinsic apoptotic pathway. These findings provide proof-of-principle that aberrant N-oncoglycans represent valid cancer targets and support further translation of the chimeric sGal-3 peptide conjugate for cancer therapy.

Abstract: SUMMARY Over the past decade, wingless-activated (WNT) medulloblastoma has been identified as a candidate for therapy de-escalation based on excellent survival; however, a paucity of relapses has precluded additional analyses of markers of relapse. To address this gap in knowledge, an international cohort of 93 molecularly confirmed WNT MB was assembled, where 5-year progression-free survival is 0.84 (95%, 0.763–0.925) with 15 relapsed individuals identified. Maintenance chemotherapy is identified as a strong predictor of relapse, with individuals receiving high doses of cyclophosphamide or ifosphamide having only one very late molecularly confirmed relapse (p = 0.032). The anatomical location of recurrence is metastatic in 12 of 15 relapses, with 8 of 12 metastatic relapses in the lateral ventricles. Maintenance chemotherapy, specifically cumulative cyclophosphamide doses, is a significant predictor of relapse across WNT MB. Future efforts to de-escalate therapy need to carefully consider not only the radiation dose but also the chemotherapy regimen and the propensity for metastatic relapses., Graphical Abstract, In Brief Nobre et al. analyze a clinically annotated cohort of 93 WNT-activated medulloblastoma using an integrated genomic approach. A maintenance chemotherapy regimen is the strongest predictor of relapse, and cumulative cyclophosphamide doses confer a reduced risk of relapse. Unlike other medulloblastoma subgroups, WNT-activated medulloblastoma recurs most frequently in the lateral ventricles.

Abstract: Medulloblastoma (MB) are the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumors in children and are classified into four major molecular subgroups. WNT-MB is characterized by an activated WNT signature and has relatively better prognosis with treatment. However, young WNT-MB patients who survive after conventional treatment suffer from long-term irreversible neurocognitive and endocrine side effects leading to poor quality of life. ADGRB3 is a member of the ADGRB1-3 subfamily of adhesion GPCR transmembrane proteins, which are highly expressed in the cerebellum and hippocampal neurons. Our recent analysis of RNA-seq data from a published panel of MB tumor samples and RT-PCR experiments with tumor samples showed that ADGRB3 mRNA expression is selectively repressed in WNT-MB tumors compared to the other molecular subgroups and normal human cerebellum. We detected hypermethylation of the ADGRB3 promoter exclusively in WNT-MB samples. ChIP assays revealed enrichment of repressive methyl CpG binding MBD2 protein and trimethylated histone H3K9me3 in the ADGRB3 promoter region. We found that ATP dependent chromatin remodeler protein BRG-1 regulates ADGRB3 expression through epigenetic reprogramming at the gene promoter. Lentiviral reconstitution of ADGRB3 inhibited growth and WNT signaling in UW288-1, and PFSK-1 cells in culture. ADGRB3 reconstitution in UW288-1 MB cells causes a significant reduction in tumor growth and WNT target gene activation in orthotopic xenografts in nude mice. Furthermore, we found that ADGRB3 reactivation could be achieved using a blood brain barrier permeable MBD2 antagonist and an EZH2 inhibitor and this can significantly reduce cell growth and inhibit WNT signaling targets. Altogether, our findings define an epigenetic mechanism for ADGRB3 silencing in WNT-MB and demonstrated that reactivation of ADGRB3 can prevent WNT-MB tumor growth by suppressing WNT signaling. Our study supports translating epigenetic reactivation of ADGRB3 as a novel therapeutic intervention for children affected with WNT-MB.

Abstract: Glioblastoma is the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Patients die from recurrent tumors that have become resistant to therapy. New strategies are needed to design future therapies that target resistant cells. Recent genomic studies have unveiled the complexity of tumor heterogeneity in glioblastoma and provide new insights into the genomic landscape of tumor cells that survive and initiate tumor recurrence. Resistant cells also co-opt developmental pathways and display stem-like properties; hence we propose to name them recurrence-initiating stem-like cancer (RISC) cells. Genetic alterations and genomic reprogramming underlie the innate and adaptive resistance of RISC cells, and both need to be targeted to prevent glioblastoma recurrence.

Abstract: While progress has been made in treating cancer, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are still the most widely used drugs and are associated with severe side-effects. Drugs that target unique molecular signalling pathways are needed for treating cancer with low or no intrinsic toxicity to normal cells. Our goal is to target hypoxic tumours and specifically the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway for the development of new cancer therapies. To this end, we have previously developed benzopyran-based HIF-1 inhibitors such as arylsulfonamide KCN1. However, KCN1 and its earlier analogs have poor water solubility, which hamper their applications. Herein, we describe a series of KCN1 analogs that incorporate a morpholine moiety at various positions. We found that replacing the benzopyran group of KCN1 with a phenyl group with a morpholinomethyl moiety at the para positions had minimal effect on potency and improved the water solubility of two new compounds by more than 10-fold compared to KCN1, the lead compound.

Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is composed of heterogeneous tumor cell populations including those with stem cell properties, termed glioma stem cells (GSCs). GSCs are innately less radiation sensitive than the tumor bulk and are believed to drive GBM formation and recurrence after repeated irradiation. However, it is unclear how GSCs adapt to escape the toxicity of repeated irradiation used in clinical practice. To identify important mediators of adaptive radioresistance, we generated radioresistant human and mouse GSCs by exposing them to repeat cycles of irradiation. Surviving subpopulations acquired strong radioresistance in vivo, which was accompanied by increased cell-cell adhesion, slower proliferation, an elevation of stemness properties and N-cadherin expression. Increasing N-cadherin expression rendered parental GSCs radioresistant, reduced their proliferation, and increased their stemness and intercellular adhesive properties. Conversely, radioresistant GSCs lost their acquired phenotypes upon CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of N-cadherin. Mechanistically, elevated N-cadherin expression resulted in the accumulation of b-catenin at the cell surface, which suppressed Wnt/ b-catenin proliferative signaling, reduced neural differentiation, and protected against apoptosis through Clusterin secretion. Restoration of wild type N-cadherin, but not mutant N-cad lacking b-catenin binding region, led to induce radioresistance in N-cadherin knockout GSCs, indicating the importance of the binding between N-cadherin and b-catenin. We also demonstrated that N-cadherin upregulation was induced by radiation-induced IGF1 secretion, and the radiation resistance phenotype could be reverted with picropodophyllin (PPP), a clinically applicable blood-brain-barrier permeable IGF1 receptor inhibitor, supporting clinical translation. Moreover, the elevation of N-cad and Clusterin are related to prognosis of GBM in the TCGA dataset. In conclusion, our data indicate that IGF1R inhibitor can block the N-cadherin-mediated resistance pathway. Our study deepens our understanding of adaptive radioresistance during repeated irradiation in GBM, and validates the IGF1/N-cadherin/b-catenin/Clusterin signaling axis as a novel target for radio-sensitization, which has direct therapeutic applicability.

Abstract: Wingless-activated (WNT) medulloblastoma have been identified over the past decade as being a candidate for therapy de-escalation based on their excellent survival, however a paucity of relapses in any single cohort have precluded any additional analysis of markers of relapse. To address this gap in knowledge, an international cohort of 91 WNT-MB was assembled where we identified 14 relapsed cases where five-year progression free survival was 0.84 (95% 0.763-0.925). Maintenance chemotherapy was identified as a strong predictor of relapse, where no relapses were observed in cases receiving high doses of cyclophosphamide or ifosphamide (p=0.0026). The location of relapse was metastatic in 10/14 of relapses, with 7/10 metastatic relapses presenting along the ependymal lining in the lateral ventricles. Maintenance chemotherapy, specifically cumulative cyclophosphamide dose is a significant predictor of relapse across WNT-MB. Future efforts to de-escalate therapy need to carefully consider not only the radiation dose but also the chemotherapy regimen, and the propensity to metastatic relapses.

Abstract: © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited 2019, In cancer, recurrent somatic single-nucleotide variants-which are rare in most paediatric cancers-are confined largely to protein-coding genes1-3. Here we report highly recurrent hotspot mutations (r.3A>G) of U1 spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) in about 50% of Sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastomas. These mutations were not present across other subgroups of medulloblastoma, and we identified these hotspot mutations in U1 snRNA in only

Abstract: Purpose: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most prevalent and lethal intraocular malignancy in adults. Here, we examined the importance of hypoxia in UM growth and tested the antitumor effects of arylsulfonamide 64B, an inhibitor of the hypoxia-induced factor (HIF) pathway in animal models of UM and investigated the related mechanisms. Experimental Design: UM cells were implanted in the uvea of mice eyes and mice systemically treated with 64B. Drug effect on primary eye tumor growth, circulating tumor cells, metastasis formation in liver, and survival were examined. 64B effects on UM cell growth, invasion and hypoxia-induced expression of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor (c-Met) were measured. Luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, co-immunoprecipitation, and cellular thermal shift assays were used to determine how 64B interferes with the HIF transcriptional complex. Results: Systemic administration of 64B had potent antitumor effects against UM in several orthotopic mouse models, suppressing UM growth in the eye (∼70% reduction) and spontaneous liver metastasis (∼50% reduction), and extending mice survival (P < 0.001) while being well tolerated. 64B inhibited hypoxia-induced expression of CXCR4 and c-Met, 2 key drivers of tumor invasion and metastasis. 64B disrupted the HIF-1 complex by interfering with HIF-1α binding to p300/CBP co-factors, thus reducing p300 recruitment to the MET and CXCR4 gene promoters. 64B could thermostabilize p300, supporting direct 64B binding to p300. Conclusions: Our preclinical efficacy studies support the further optimization of the 64B chemical scaffold toward a clinical candidate for the treatment of UM.

25. PDTM-27. EPIGENETIC LOSS OF BAI1 EXPRESSION IN CEREBELLAR GRANULE NEURON PRECURSORS INACTIVATES THE p53 TUMOR SUPPRESSOR AND FACILITATES MEDULLOBLASTOMA FORMATION IN THE CEREBELLUM

Abstract: Adhesion G-protein coupled receptors (ADGRs) are transmembrane proteins involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. We show ADGRB1 gene, which encodes Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1), is epigenetically silenced in human medulloblastomas through a methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MBD2)-dependent mechanism. Knockout of Adgrb1 in mice augments proliferation of cerebellar granule neuron precursors (GNPs), and increases medulloblastoma penetrance and accelerated death in Ptch1(+/-) mice. BAI1 prevents Mdm2-mediated p53 polyubiquitination, and its loss substantially reduces p53 levels. Reactivation of BAI1/p53 signaling axis by targeting MBD2 pathway suppresses human medulloblastoma growth in orthotopic xenograft models. Our findings highlight the importance of BAI1 loss in medulloblastoma and demonstrate that epigenetic restoration of its expression with a new brain-permeable MBD2 inhibitor has therapeutic potential. Revealing BAI1 as a physiological tumor suppressor in medulloblastoma unveils a direct crosstalk between ADGRs and p53 signaling, and provides a causal relationship between ADGRs and cancer. The discovery of a novel upstream regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor is highly significant because of this pathway’s involvement in many cancers. Disruption of the BAI1/mdm2/p53 signaling axis through BAI1 silencing reveals a vulnerability in cancer, and offers an opportunity for therapeutic exploitation through epigenetic reactivation. We provide proof-of-principle that this can be achieved with a chemical scaffold targeting MBD2, and this lead molecule is actionable for translation into a first-in-class therapeutic intervention against medulloblastoma, and possibly other cancers (Zhu D et al, Cancer Cell, in press).

Abstract: Adhesion G-protein coupled receptors (ADGRs) are transmembrane proteins involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. We found that the ADGRB1 gene, which encodes Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1), is epigenetically silenced in human medulloblastomas through a methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MBD2)-dependent mechanism. We revealed that BAI1 acts as a tumor suppressor by preventing Mdm2-mediated p53 polyubiquitination, and its loss substantially reduces p53 levels. We found BAI1 directly binds to mdm2 and sequesters it from p53. Reactivation of BAI1/p53 signaling axis by targeting the MBD2 pathway with a new brain-permeable MBD2 inhibitor suppressed human medulloblastoma growth in orthotopic xenograft models. Our findings highlight the importance of BAI1 loss in medulloblastoma and demonstrate that epigenetic restoration of its expression has therapeutic potential.

Abstract: Identifying molecular cancer drivers is critical for precision oncology. Multiple advanced algorithms to identify drivers now exist, but systematic attempts to combine and optimize them on large datasets are few. We report a PanCancer and PanSoftware analysis spanning 9,423 tumor exomes (comprising all 33 of The Cancer Genome Atlas projects) and using 26 computational tools to catalog driver genes and mutations. We identify 299 driver genes with implications regarding their anatomical sites and cancer/cell types. Sequence- and structure-based analyses identified >3,400 putative missense driver mutations supported by multiple lines of evidence. Experimental validation confirmed 60%–85% of predicted mutations as likely drivers. We found that >300 MSI tumors are associated with high PD-1/PD-L1, and 57% of tumors analyzed harbor putative clinically actionable events. Our study represents the most comprehensive discovery of cancer genes and mutations to date and will serve as a blueprint for future biological and clinical endeavors. A comprehensive analysis of oncogenic driver genes and mutations in >9,000 tumors across 33 cancer types highlights the prevalence of clinically actionable cancer driver events in TCGA tumor samples., 0, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract: The role of enhancers, a key class of non-coding regulatory DNA elements, in cancer development has increasingly been appreciated. Here, we present the detection and characterization of a large number of expressed enhancers in a genome-wide analysis of 8928 tumor samples across 33 cancer types using TCGA RNA-seq data. Compared with matched normal tissues, global enhancer activation was observed in most cancers. Across cancer types, global enhancer activity was positively associated with aneuploidy, but not mutation load, suggesting a hypothesis centered on “chromatin-state” to explain their interplay. Integrating eQTL, mRNA co-expression, and Hi-C data analysis, we developed a computational method to infer causal enhancer-gene interactions, revealing enhancers of clinically actionable genes. Having identified an enhancer ∼140 kb downstream of PD-L1, a major immunotherapy target, we validated it experimentally. This study provides a systematic view of enhancer activity in diverse tumor contexts and suggests the clinical implications of enhancers. Causal enhancer-target-gene relationships are inferred from a systematic analysis of 33 cancer types.

Abstract: Purpose: Gliomas, a genetically heterogeneous group of primary central nervous system tumors, continue to pose a significant clinical challenge. Discovery of chromosomal rearrangements involving kinase genes has enabled precision therapy, and improved outcomes in several malignancies. Experimental Design: Positing that similar benefit could be accomplished for patients with brain cancer, we evaluated The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) glioblastoma dataset. Functional validation of the oncogenic potential and inhibitory sensitivity of discovered ROS1 fusions was performed using three independent cell-based model systems, and an in vivo murine xenograft study. Results: In silico analysis revealed previously unreported intrachromosomal 6q22 microdeletions that generate ROS1-fusions from TCGA glioblastoma dataset. ROS1 fusions in primary glioma and ependymoma were independently corroborated from MSK-IMPACT and Foundation Medicine clinical datasets. GOPC–ROS1 is a recurrent ROS1 fusion in primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. CEP85L–ROS1 and GOPC–ROS1 are transforming oncogenes in cells of astrocytic lineage, and amenable to pharmacologic inhibition with several ROS1 inhibitors even when occurring concurrently with other cancer hotspot aberrations frequently associated with glioblastoma. Oral monotherapy with a brain-permeable ROS1 inhibitor, lorlatinib, significantly prolonged survival in an intracranially xenografted tumor model generated from a ROS1 fusion-positive glioblastoma cell line. Conclusions: Our findings highlight that CNS tumors should be specifically interrogated for these rare intrachromosomal 6q22 microdeletion events that generate actionable ROS1 fusions. ROS1 fusions in primary brain cancer may be amenable for clinical intervention with kinase inhibitors, and this holds the potential of novel treatment paradigms in these treatment-refractory cancer types, particularly in glioblastoma.

Abstract: Summary Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are commonly dysregulated in tumors, but only a handful are known to play pathophysiological roles in cancer. We inferred lncRNAs that dysregulate cancer pathways, oncogenes, and tumor suppressors (cancer genes) by modeling their effects on the activity of transcription factors, RNA-binding proteins, and microRNAs in 5,185 TCGA tumors and 1,019 ENCODE assays. Our predictions included hundreds of candidate onco- and tumor-suppressor lncRNAs (cancer lncRNAs) whose somatic alterations account for the dysregulation of dozens of cancer genes and pathways in each of 14 tumor contexts. To demonstrate proof of concept, we showed that perturbations targeting OIP5-AS1 (an inferred tumor suppressor) and TUG1 and WT1-AS (inferred onco-lncRNAs) dysregulated cancer genes and altered proliferation of breast and gynecologic cancer cells. Our analysis indicates that, although most lncRNAs are dysregulated in a tumor-specific manner, some, including OIP5-AS1, TUG1, NEAT1, MEG3, and TSIX, synergistically dysregulate cancer pathways in multiple tumor contexts., Graphical Abstract, Highlights • Hundreds of lncRNAs target cancer genes and pathways in each tumor context • lncRNA copy numbers are predictive of target cancer gene dysregulation • Most lncRNAs are predicted to be transcriptional or post-transcriptional specialists • lncRNAs are predicted to synergistically regulate proliferation pathways in cancer, Chiu et al. present a pan-cancer analysis of lncRNA regulatory interactions. They suggest that the dysregulation of hundreds of lncRNAs target and alter the expression of cancer genes and pathways in each tumor context. This implies that hundreds of lncRNAs can alter tumor phenotypes in each tumor context.

Abstract: Aneuploidy, whole chromosome or chromosome arm imbalance, is a near-universal characteristic of human cancers. In 10,522 cancer genomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas, aneuploidy was correlated with TP53 mutation, somatic mutation rate, and expression of proliferation genes. Aneuploidy was anti-correlated with expression of immune signaling genes, due to decreased leukocyte infiltrates in high-aneuploidy samples. Chromosome arm-level alterations show cancer-specific patterns, including loss of chromosome arm 3p in squamous cancers. We applied genome engineering to delete 3p in lung cells, causing decreased proliferation rescued in part by chromosome 3 duplication. This study defines genomic and phenotypic correlates of cancer aneuploidy and provides an experimental approach to study chromosome arm aneuploidy. Analyzing >10,000 human cancers, Taylor et al. show that aneuploidy is correlated with somatic mutation rate, expression of proliferation genes, and decreased leukocyte infiltration. Loss of chromosome arm 3p is common in squamous cancers, but deletion of chromosome 3p reduces cell proliferation in vitro.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Diffuse low-grade and intermediate-grade gliomas (which together make up the lower-grade gliomas, World Health Organization grades II and III) have highly variable clinical behavior that is not adequately predicted on the basis of histologic class. Some are indolent; others quickly progress to glioblastoma. The uncertainty is compounded by interobserver variability in histologic diagnosis. Mutations in IDH, TP53, and ATRX and codeletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q (1p/19q codeletion) have been implicated as clinically relevant markers of lower-grade gliomas. METHODS: We performed genomewide analyses of 293 lower-grade gliomas from adults, incorporating exome sequence, DNA copy number, DNA methylation, messenger RNA expression, microRNA expression, and targeted protein expression. These data were integrated and tested for correlation with clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Unsupervised clustering of mutations and data from RNA, DNA-copy-number, and DNA-methylation platforms uncovered concordant classification of three robust, nonoverlapping, prognostically significant subtypes of lower-grade glioma that were captured more accurately by IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than by histologic class. Patients who had lower-grade gliomas with an IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion had the most favorable clinical outcomes. Their gliomas harbored mutations in CIC, FUBP1, NOTCH1, and the TERT promoter. Nearly all lower-grade gliomas with IDH mutations and no 1p/19q codeletion had mutations in TP53 (94%) and ATRX inactivation (86%). The large majority of lower-grade gliomas without an IDH mutation had genomic aberrations and clinical behavior strikingly similar to those found in primary glioblastoma. CONCLUSIONS: The integration of genomewide data from multiple platforms delineated three molecular classes of lower-grade gliomas that were more concordant with IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than with histologic class. Lower-grade gliomas with an IDH mutation either had 1p/19q codeletion or carried a TP53 mutation. Most lower-grade gliomas without an IDH mutation were molecularly and clinically similar to glioblastoma. (Funded by the National Institutes of Health.)

Abstract: Summary: Beyond sample curation and basic pathologic characterization, the digitized H&E-stained images of TCGA samples remain underutilized. To highlight this resource, we present mappings of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) based on H&E images from 13 TCGA tumor types. These TIL maps are derived through computational staining using a convolutional neural network trained to classify patches of images. Affinity propagation revealed local spatial structure in TIL patterns and correlation with overall survival. TIL map structural patterns were grouped using standard histopathological parameters. These patterns are enriched in particular T cell subpopulations derived from molecular measures. TIL densities and spatial structure were differentially enriched among tumor types, immune subtypes, and tumor molecular subtypes, implying that spatial infiltrate state could reflect particular tumor cell aberration states. Obtaining spatial lymphocytic patterns linked to the rich genomic characterization of TCGA samples demonstrates one use for the TCGA image archives with insights into the tumor-immune microenvironment. : Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were identified from standard pathology cancer images by a deep-learning-derived “computational stain” developed by Saltz et al. They processed 5,202 digital images from 13 cancer types. Resulting TIL maps were correlated with TCGA molecular data, relating TIL content to survival, tumor subtypes, and immune profiles.

Abstract: Adult diffuse gliomas are a diverse group of brain neoplasms that inflict a high emotional toll on patients and their families. The Cancer Genome Atlas and similar projects have provided a comprehensive understanding of the somatic alterations and molecular subtypes of glioma at diagnosis. However, gliomas undergo significant cellular and molecular evolution during disease progression. We review the current knowledge on the genomic and epigenetic abnormalities in primary tumors and after disease recurrence, highlight the gaps in the literature, and elaborate on the need for a new multi-institutional effort to bridge these knowledge gaps and how the Glioma Longitudinal Analysis Consortium (GLASS) aims to systemically catalog the longitudinal changes in gliomas. The GLASS initiative will provide essential insights into the evolution of glioma toward a lethal phenotype, with the potential to reveal targetable vulnerabilities and, ultimately, improved outcomes for a patient population in need.

Abstract: SUMMARY For the past decade, cancer genomic studies have focused on mutations leading to splice-site disruption, overlooking those having splice-creating potential. Here, we applied a bioinformatic tool, MiSplice, for the large-scale discovery of splice-site-creating mutations (SCMs) across 8,656 TCGA tumors. We report 1,964 originally mis-annotated mutations having clear evidence of creating alternative splice junctions. TP53 and GATA3 have 26 and 18 SCMs, respectively, and ATRX has 5 from lower-grade gliomas. Mutations in 11 genes, including PARP1, BRCA1, and BAP1, were experimentally validated for splice-site-creating function. Notably, we found that neoantigens induced by SCMs are likely several folds more immunogenic compared to missense mutations, exemplified by the recurrent GATA3 SCM. Further, high expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 was observed in tumors with SCMs, suggesting candidates for immune blockade therapy. Our work highlights the importance of integrating DNA and RNA data for understanding the functional and the clinical implications of mutations in human diseases., In Brief Jayasinghe et al. identify nearly 2,000 splice-site-creating mutations (SCMs) from over 8,000 tumor samples across 33 cancer types. They provide a more accurate interpretation of previously misannotated mutations, highlighting the importance of integrating data types to understand the functional and the clinical implications of splicing mutations in human disease.

Abstract: We analyzed 921 adenocarcinomas of the esophagus, stomach, colon, and rectum to examine shared and distinguishing molecular characteristics of gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinomas (GIACs). Hypermutated tumors were distinct regardless of cancer type and comprised those enriched for insertions/deletions, representing microsatellite instability cases with epigenetic silencing of MLH1 in the context of CpG island methylator phenotype, plus tumors with elevated single-nucleotide variants associated with mutations in POLE. Tumors with chromosomal instability were diverse, with gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas harboring fragmented genomes associated with genomic doubling and distinct mutational signatures. We identified a group of tumors in the colon and rectum lacking hypermutation and aneuploidy termed genome stable and enriched in DNA hypermethylation and mutations in KRAS, SOX9, and PCBP1. Liu et al. analyze 921 gastrointestinal (GI) tract adenocarcinomas and find that hypermutated tumors are enriched for insertions/deletions, upper GI tumors with chromosomal instability harbor fragmented genomes, and a group of genome-stable colorectal tumors are enriched in mutations in SOX9 and PCBP1.

Abstract: SUMMARY For a decade, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program collected clinicopathologic annotation data along with multi-platform molecular profiles of more than 11,000 human tumors across 33 different cancer types. TCGA clinical data contain key features representing the democratized nature of the data collection process. To ensure proper use of this large clinical dataset associated with genomic features, we developed a standardized dataset named the TCGA Pan-Cancer Clinical Data Resource (TCGA-CDR), which includes four major clinical outcome endpoints. In addition to detailing major challenges and statistical limitations encountered during the effort of integrating the acquired clinical data, we present a summary that includes endpoint usage recommendations for each cancer type. These TCGA-CDR findings appear to be consistent with cancer genomics studies independent of the TCGA effort and provide opportunities for investigating cancer biology using clinical correlates at an unprecedented scale., Graphical abstract In Brief Analysis of clinicopathologic annotations for over 11,000 cancer patients in the TCGA program leads to the generation of TCGA Clinical Data Resource, which provides recommendations of clinical outcome endpoint usage for 33 cancer types.

Abstract: SUMMARY Gene fusions represent an important class of somatic alterations in cancer. We systematically investigated fusions in 9,624 tumors across 33 cancer types using multiple fusion calling tools. We identified a total of 25,664 fusions, with a 63% validation rate. Integration of gene expression, copy number, and fusion annotation data revealed that fusions involving oncogenes tend to exhibit increased expression, whereas fusions involving tumor suppressors have the opposite effect. For fusions involving kinases, we found 1,275 with an intact kinase domain, the proportion of which varied significantly across cancer types. Our study suggests that fusions drive the development of 16.5% of cancer cases and function as the sole driver in more than 1% of them. Finally, we identified druggable fusions involving genes such as TMPRSS2, RET, FGFR3, ALK, and ESR1 in 6.0% of cases, and we predicted immunogenic peptides, suggesting that fusions may provide leads for targeted drug and immune therapy., In Brief Gao et al. analyze a 9,624 sample TCGA cohort with 33 cancer types to detect gene fusion events. They provide a landscape of fusion events detected, relate fusions to gene expression, focus on kinase fusion structures, examine mutually exclusive mutation and fusion patterns, and highlight fusion druggability.

Abstract: SUMMARY We conducted comprehensive integrative molecular analyses of the complete set of tumors in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), consisting of approximately 10,000 specimens and representing 33 types of cancer. We performed molecular clustering using data on chromosome-arm-level aneuploidy, DNA hypermethylation, mRNA, and miRNA expression levels and reverse-phase protein arrays, of which all, except for aneuploidy, revealed clustering primarily organized by histology, tissue type, or anatomic origin. The influence of cell type was evident in DNA-methylation-based clustering, even after excluding sites with known preexisting tissue-type-specific methylation. Integrative clustering further emphasized the dominant role of cell-of-origin patterns. Molecular similarities among histologically or anatomically related cancer types provide a basis for focused pan-cancer analyses, such as pan-gastrointestinal, pan-gynecological, pan-kidney, and pan-squamous cancers, and those related by stemness features, which in turn may inform strategies for future therapeutic development., In Brief Comprehensive, integrated molecular analysis identifies molecular relationships across a large diverse set of human cancers, suggesting future directions for exploring clinical actionability in cancer treatment.

Abstract: SUMMARY Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is not a single disease, but several histologically defined cancers with different genetic drivers, clinical courses, and therapeutic responses. The current study evaluated 843 RCC from the three major histologic subtypes, including 488 clear cell RCC, 274 papillary RCC, and 81 chromophobe RCC. Comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analysis of the RCC subtypes reveals distinctive features of each subtype that provide the foundation for the development of subtype-specific therapeutic and management strategies for patients affected with these cancers. Somatic alteration of BAP1, PBRM1, and PTEN and altered metabolic pathways correlated with subtype-specific decreased survival, while CDKN2A alteration, increased DNA hypermethylation, and increases in the immune-related Th2 gene expression signature correlated with decreased survival within all major histologic subtypes. CIMP-RCC demonstrated an increased immune signature, and a uniform and distinct metabolic expression pattern identified a subset of metabolically divergent (MD) ChRCC that associated with extremely poor survival., Graphical abstract In Brief Ricketts et al. find distinctive features of each RCC subtype, providing the foundation for development of subtypespecific therapeutic and management strategies. Somatic alteration of BAP1, PBRM1, and metabolic pathways correlates with subtype-specific decreased survival, while CDKN2A alteration, DNA hypermethylation, and Th2 immune signature correlate with decreased survival within all subtypes.

Abstract: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations were recently shown to drive telomerase activity in various cancer types, including medulloblastoma. However, the clinical and biological implications of TERT mutations in medulloblastoma have not been described. Hence, we sought to describe these mutations and their impact in a subgroup-specific manner. We analyzed the TERT promoter by direct sequencing and genotyping in 466 medulloblastomas. The mutational distributions were determined according to subgroup affiliation, demographics, and clinical, prognostic, and molecular features. Integrated genomics approaches were used to identify specific somatic copy number alterations in TERT promoter-mutated and wild-type tumors. Overall, TERT promoter mutations were identified in 21 % of medulloblastomas. Strikingly, the highest frequencies of TERT mutations were observed in SHH (83 %; 55/66) and WNT (31 %; 4/13) medulloblastomas derived from adult patients. Group 3 and Group 4 harbored this alteration in

Abstract: While molecular subgrouping has revolutionized medulloblastoma classification, the extent of heterogeneity within subgroups is unknown. Similarity network fusion (SNF) applied to genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression data across 763 primary samples identifies very homogeneous clusters of patients, supporting the presence of medulloblastoma subtypes. After integration of somatic copy-number alterations, and clinical features specific to each cluster, we identify 12 different subtypes of medulloblastoma. Integrative analysis using SNF further delineates group 3 from group 4 medulloblastoma, which is not as readily apparent through analyses of individual data types. Two clear subtypes of infants with Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma with disparate outcomes and biology are identified. Medulloblastoma subtypes identified through integrative clustering have important implications for stratification of future clinical trials.

Abstract: Brain angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1) is a putative G protein–coupled receptor with potent antiangiogenic and antitumorigenic properties that is mutated in certain cancers. BAI1 is expressed in normal human brain, but it is frequently silenced in glioblastoma multiforme. In this study, we show that this silencing event is regulated by overexpression of methyl-CpG–binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), a key mediator of epigenetic gene regulation, which binds to the hypermethylated BAI1 gene promoter. In glioma cells, treatment with the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC) was sufficient to reactivate BAI1 expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that MBD2 was enriched at the promoter of silenced BAI1 in glioma cells and that MBD2 binding was released by 5-Aza-dC treatment. RNA interference–mediated knockdown of MBD2 expression led to reactivation of BAI1 gene expression and restoration of BAI1 functional activity, as indicated by increased antiangiogenic activity in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results suggest that MBD2 overexpression during gliomagenesis may drive tumor growth by suppressing the antiangiogenic activity of a key tumor suppressor. These findings have therapeutic implications because inhibiting MBD2 could offer a strategy to reactivate BAI1 and suppress glioma pathobiology. Cancer Res; 71(17); 5859–70. ©2011 AACR.

Abstract: Gliomas are a group of aggressive brain tumors that diffusely infiltrate adjacent brain tissues, rendering them largely incurable, even with multiple treatment modalities and agents. Mostly asymptomatic at early stages, they present in several subtypes with astrocytic or oligodendrocytic features and invariably progress to malignant forms. Gliomas are difficult to classify precisely because of interobserver variability during histopathologic grading. Identifying biological signatures of each glioma subtype through protein biomarker profiling of tumor or tumor-proximal fluids is therefore of high priority. Such profiling not only may provide clues regarding tumor classification but may identify clinical biomarkers and pathologic targets for the development of personalized treatments. In the past decade, differential proteomic profiling techniques have utilized tumor, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma from glioma patients to identify the first candidate diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic response markers, highlighting the potential for glioma biomarker discovery. The number of markers identified, however, has been limited, their reproducibility between studies is unclear, and none have been validated for clinical use. Recent technological advancements in methodologies for high-throughput profiling, which provide easy access, rapid screening, low sample consumption, and accurate protein identification, are anticipated to accelerate brain tumor biomarker discovery. Reliable tools for biomarker verification forecast translation of the biomarkers into clinical diagnostics in the foreseeable future. Herein we update the reader on the recent trends and directions in glioma proteomics, including key findings and established and emerging technologies for analysis, together with challenges we are still facing in identifying and verifying potential glioma biomarkers.

46. ANGI-14. EPIGENETIC REACTIVATION OF BAI1 SUPPRESSES TUMOR INVASION BY PREVENTING TGFβ1-INDUCED MESENCHYMAL SWITCH IN GLIOBLASTOMA

Abstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of malignant brain tumor in adults. GBM cells are highly invasive and diffusely infiltrate throughout the brain, which strongly restricts multimodal therapies. Acquiring a better knowledge of molecular defects underlying GBM invasion is essential for the development of effective therapies. Brain-specific Angiogenesis Inhibitor 1 (BAI1) is a transmembrane receptor of the adhesion GPCR family widely expressed in normal brain, but its expression is lost in the majority of human brain tumors. We have previously shown that BAI1 is epigenetically silenced in most GBM and restoration of its expression can inhibit glioma growth in vitro and in vivo (Zhu D. et al, Cancer Res, 2012). Recently, we reported that BAI1 protects p53 from Mdm2-mediated degradation and regulate tumor growth in medulloblastoma (Zhu D. et al, Cancer Cell, 2018). However, it is unclear whether BAI1 loss is important for tumor invasion in GBM. We found that restoration of BAI1 expression in GBM cells suppressed mesenchymal transition. Microarray analysis of the TCGA dataset revealed that BAI1 expression inversely correlates with the expression of many key mesenchymal genes, including Fibronectin1, SLUG, and TWIST1. Reduced BAI1 expression also correlates with poor outcome. Restoration of BAI1 expression suppresses mesenchymal gene expression and dramatically decreases GBM cell brain invasion in mice. Mechanistically, the N-terminal thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR#1) of BAI1 inhibits the maturation process of TGFβ1, a key growth factor involved in EMT. BAI1 is silenced epigenetically in GBM cells by MBD2, and its expression can be reactivated by KCC-07, a blood-brain barrier permeable MBD2 inhibitor. We found that GBM cells treated by KCC-07 exhibited decreased tumor invasion. These experiments demonstrate that epigenetic silencing of BAI1 is important for activation of the GBM invasive phenotype through TGFβ1 pathway activation. Epigenetic targeting of this process by KCC-07 can reduce GBM invasion.

Abstract: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in children and arises from neural progenitor cells in the developing cerebellum. Although some subtypes of MB show a favorable prognosis with treatment, still one third of patients succumb to this disease and the children who survive suffer from long-term side effects of the aggressive treatments. ADGRB3 (formerly called BAI3) is a member of the ADGRB1-3 subfamily of adhesion GPCR transmembrane proteins, which are highly expressed in the brain specially in cerebellum and hippocampal neurons. The ADGRB3 gene was recently found to undergo somatic mutations in several cancers, but nothing is known about the functional role of ADGRB3 in medulloblastoma. Our recent findings based on analysis of a published microarray dataset and RT-PCR experiments showed that ADGRB3 mRNA expression was selectively repressed in WNT-MB tumor tissue compared to other three molecular subgroups and normal human cerebellar tissue. Using bisulfite sequencing we have detected hypermethylation of the ADGRB3 promoter exclusively in WNT-MB subgroup of human MB tissue but not in the other three molecular subgroups and normal human cerebellar tissue. These results clearly indicate that ADGRB3 is epigenetically silenced in WNT-MB via promoter hypermethylation. In vitro experiments showed that restoration of ADGRB3 expression in ADGRB3-silenced MB cell lines slows cell growth and inhibits WNT signaling targets. We further analyzed whether methyl CpG binding proteins and histone modifications modulate transcriptional repression of ADGRB3 in WNT-MB. ChIP assays revealed enrichment of repressive MBD2 protein in the ADGRB3 promoter region. siRNA mediated knockdown of ADGRB3 in ADGRB3-silent MB cell line (UW288-1) was found to reactivate ADGRB3 expression. We found that in vitro treatment with KCC-07, a recently discovered MBD2 inhibitor, reactivates ADGRB3 mRNA expression in ADGRB3-silent but not expressing MB cells. We are currently investigating whether ADGRB3 can negatively regulate the WNT/beta-catenin pathway or acts via an independent pathway that synergizes with it to facilitate transformation. Altogether, our findings define an epigenetic mechanism for ADGRB3 silencing in WNT-MB and indicate a novel role of ADGRB3 as a potent suppressor of oncogenic cerebellar transformation. Our findings also highlight the potential of epigenetic reactivation of ADGRB3 as a less toxic therapeutic intervention for the children suffering from WNT-MB.

Abstract: The integration of imaging and genomic data is critical to forming a better understanding of disease. Large public datasets, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas, present a unique opportunity to integrate these complementary data types for in silico scientific research. In this letter, we focus on the aspect of pathology image analysis and illustrate the challenges associated with analyzing and integrating large-scale image datasets with molecular characterizations. We present an example study of diffuse glioma brain tumors, where the morphometric analysis of 81 million nuclei is integrated with clinically relevant transcriptomic and genomic characterizations of glioblastoma tumors. The preliminary results demonstrate the potential of combining morphometric and molecular characterizations for in silico research.

Abstract: Malignant gliomas are the most common and deadly brain tumors. Nevertheless, survival for patients with glioblastoma, the most aggressive glioma, although individually variable, has improved from an average of 10 months to 14 months after diagnosis in the last 5 years due to improvements in the standard of care. Radiotherapy has been of key importance to the treatment of these lesions for decades, and the ability to focus the beam and tailor it to the irregular contours of brain tumors and minimize the dose to nearby critical structures with intensity-modulated or image-guided techniques has improved greatly. Temozolomide, an alkylating agent with simple oral administration and a favorable toxicity profile, is used in conjunction with and after radiotherapy. Newer surgical techniques, such as fluorescence-guided resection and neuroendoscopic approaches, have become important in the management of malignant gliomas. Furthermore, new discoveries are being made in basic and translational research, which are likely to improve this situation further in the next 10 years. These include agents that block 1 or more of the disordered tumor proliferation signaling pathways, and that overcome resistance to already existing treatments. Targeted therapies such as antiangiogenic therapy with antivascular endothelial growth factor antibodies (bevacizumab) are finding their way into clinical practice. Large-scale research efforts are ongoing to provide a comprehensive understanding of all the genetic alterations and gene expression changes underlying glioma formation. These have already refined the classification of glioblastoma into 4 distinct molecular entities that may lead to different treatment regimens. The role of cancer stem-like cells is another area of active investigation. There is definite hope that by 2020, new cocktails of drugs will be available to target the key molecular pathways involved in gliomas and reduce their mortality and morbidity, a positive development for patients, their families, and medical professionals alike.

Abstract: We characterized the epigenetic landscape of genes encoding long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) across 6,475 tumors and 455 cancer cell lines. In stark contrast to the CpG island hypermethylation phenotype in cancer, we observed a recurrent hypomethylation of 1,006 lncRNA genes in cancer, including EPIC1 (epigenetically-induced lncRNA1). Overexpression of EPIC1 is associated with poor prognosis in luminal B breast cancer patients and enhances tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, EPIC1 promotes cell-cycle progression by interacting with MYC through EPIC1's 129–283 nt region. EPIC1 knockdown reduces the occupancy of MYC to its target genes (e.g., CDKN1A, CCNA2, CDC20, and CDC45). MYC depletion abolishes EPIC1's regulation of MYC target and luminal breast cancer tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Wang et al. characterize the epigenetic landscape of lncRNAs genes across a large number of human tumors and cancer cell lines and observe recurrent hypomethylation of lncRNA genes, including EPIC1. EPIC1 RNA promotes cell-cycle progression by interacting with MYC and enhancing its binding to target genes.
