Studies in pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (HGA) by our group and others have uncovered recurrent somatic mutations affecting highly conserved residues in histone 3 (H3) variants. One of these mutations leads to analogous p.Lys27Met (K27M) mutations in both H3.3 and H3.1 variants, is associated with rapid fatal outcome, and occurs specifically in HGA of the midline in children and young adults. This includes diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (80 %) and thalamic or spinal HGA (>90 %), which are surgically challenging locations with often limited tumor material available and critical need for specific histopathological markers. Here, we analyzed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 143 pediatric HGA and 297 other primary brain tumors or normal brain. Immunohistochemical staining for H3K27M was compared to tumor genotype, and also compared to H3 tri-methylated lysine 27 (H3K27me3) staining, previously shown to be drastically decreased in samples carrying this mutation. There was a 100 % concordance between genotype and immunohistochemical analysis of H3K27M in tumor samples. Mutant H3K27M was expressed in the majority of tumor cells, indicating limited intra-tumor heterogeneity for this specific mutation within the limits of our dataset. Both H3.1 and H3.3K27M mutants were recognized by this antibody while non-neoplastic elements, such as endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells or lymphocytes, did not stain. H3K27me3 immunoreactivity was largely mutually exclusive with H3K27M positivity. These results demonstrate that mutant H3K27M can be specifically identified with high specificity and sensitivity using an H3K27M antibody and immunohistochemistry. Use of this antibody in the clinical setting will prove very useful for diagnosis, especially in the context of small biopsies in challenging midline tumors and will help orient care in the context of the extremely poor prognosis associated with this mutation. 相似文献

Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M mutant arises from midline structures of the central nervous system and predominately affects pediatric patients. However, this disease entity was only recently established, and the clinical phenotypic spectrum remains largely unclear. We herein report a rare case of diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M mutant with an unusual distribution in an elderly woman who presented with a diffuse glioma that invaded both sides of the thalami, and left hippocampus and frontoparietal lobes, thus mimicking a hemispheric malignant glioma. A biopsy of the lobular lesion led to a molecular diagnostic confirmation of diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M mutant. The patient received concurrent bevacizumab and temozolomide therapy with radiation therapy and survived for 30 months. This case highlights the possibility that a glioma with cerebral hemispheric spread in an elderly patient may harbor the H3 K27M mutation. 相似文献

Pediatric glioblastomas (GBM) are highly aggressive and lethal tumors. Recent sequencing studies have shown that ~30 % of pediatric GBM and ~80 % of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas show K27M mutations in the H3F3A gene, a variant encoding histone H3.3. H3F3A K27M mutations lead to global reduction in H3K27me3. Our goal was to develop biomarkers for the histopathologic detection of these tumors. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of measuring H3K27me3 global reduction as a histopathologic and prognostic biomarker and tested an antibody directed specifically against the H3.3 K27M mutation in 290 samples. The study cohort included 203 pediatric (including 38 pediatric high-grade astrocytomas) and 38 adult brain tumors of various subtypes and grades and 49 non-neoplastic reactive brain tissues. Detection of H3.3 K27M by immunohistochemistry showed 100 % sensitivity and specificity and was superior to global reduction in H3K27me3 as a biomarker in diagnosing H3F3A K27M mutations. Moreover, cases that stained positive for H3.3 K27M showed a significantly poor prognosis compared to corresponding negative tumors. These results suggest that immunohistochemical detection of H3.3 K27M is a sensitive and specific surrogate for the H3F3A K27M mutation and defines a prognostically poor subset of pediatric GBM. 相似文献

H3K27M and H3.3G34R/V mutations have been identified in pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG), though extraneural metastases are rarely reported and poorly characterized. Three pHGG patients from two institutions were identified with extraneural metastasis, harboring histone mutations. Their clinical, imaging and molecular characteristics are reported here. A 17-year old female presented with supratentorial H3.3G34R-mutant glioma with metastatic osseous lesions in the spine, pelvis, bone marrow, pleural effusion and soft tissue of pelvis. Bone marrow biopsy and soft tissue of pelvis biopsy showed neoplastic cells positive for P53. A 20-year old female was diagnosed with H3F3A H3K27M–mutant thalamic glioma. She developed diffuse sclerotic osseous lesions. Biopsy of an osseous lesion was non-diagnostic. A 17-year old female presented with a H3F3A H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma with diffuse spinal cord metastasis. She further developed multifocal chest lymphadenopathy, pleural effusions, and a soft tissue mass in the abdominal wall. The latter was positive for H3K27M mutation. We present the first case series of pHGG with H3F3A mutation and diffuse extraneural dissemination, describing their clinical and molecular profile. 相似文献

The WHO classification of tumors of the CNS in 2016 defined “diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant” as a new tumor entity locating in the CNS midline. However, the H3 K27M-mutation in “non-midline” glioblastoma are rare and their characteristics have been rarely reported. A 16-year-old girl presented a hyper-intense lesion at her left temporal stem on T2WI, FLAIR and DWI. Biopsy was performed and molecular pathological diagnosis was glioblastoma with H3 K27M-mutant. Accordingly, the possibility of H3 K27M-mutant should be examined not only for diffuse glioma without IDH mutation that develops at a midline location, but also in non-midline locations. 相似文献

Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are rare and devastating tumors with limited therapeutic options. Programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression represents a potential predictive biomarker for immunotherapy. One hundred and twenty‐six DMGs (89 adult and 37 pediatric) were assessed for immune profile (PD‐L1, cluster of differentiation (CD3, CD8) and genetic markers (mutation in 27th amino acid of histone H3 (H3K27M), alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X‐linked (ATRX), isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), p53) by immunohistochemistry. Sanger sequencing was done for IDH1 and H3K27M. The thalamus was the commonest site. Four molecular subgroups of DMGs were identified. H3K27M mutation was more frequent in children (P = 0.0001). The difference in median overall survival (OS) was not significant in any of the four molecular subgroups (P > 0.05). PD‐L1 expression was significantly higher in H3K27M/IDH1 double‐negative adult glioblastomas (GBMs) (P = 0.002). Strong PD‐L1 expression was more frequent in grade IV tumors and thalamic location, although the difference was not significant (P = 0.14 and P = 0.19 respectively). Positive PD‐L1 expression was significantly associated with high tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes count (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in median OS in PD‐L1‐positive versus negative cases among four genetic subgroups (P > 0.05). On univariate analysis, there was no direct correlation of PD‐L1 with any genetic alteration, except H3K27M mutation (P = 0.01). CD3 infiltration was similar in both adults and pediatric ages (84.3% and 78.4%, respectively) while CD8 expression was significantly greater in adults compared to children (74.1% vs 37.8%, P = 0.0001). This is the first comprehensive analysis highlighting molecular and immune profiles of DMGs. Despite molecular and clinicopathological diversity, overall survival in DMGs remains dismal. Multicentric studies with larger numbers of cases should be undertaken for stratifying DMGs according to their age, immune and molecular profiles, to develop effective immunotherapies. 相似文献

The 2016 edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System introduced “diffuse midline glioma H3 K27M mutant” as a new diagnostic entity. These tumors predominately affect pediatric patients and arise from midline structures such as the brainstem, thalamus and spinal cord. Here, we report a rare patient with spinal ganglioglioma carrying an H3 K27M mutation. A 10‐year‐old boy presented with an intramedullary tumor in the cervical spinal cord. The lesion was partially removed and histologically diagnosed as ganglioglioma. After the remnant tumor grew within 3 months after surgery, the patient underwent radiotherapy. Genetic analyses revealed an H3F3A K27M mutation but no other genetic alterations such as IDH and BRAF mutations. This case may point to pathological heterogeneity in gliomas with H3 K27M mutations. 相似文献

Proteasome-dependent degradation of p27/kip1 in gliomas. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

p27/kip1 regulates the G1-S transition of the cell cycle by inhibiting cyclin D-CDK4, cyclin E-CDK2, and cyclin A-CDK2. Modulation of p27 cellular abundance occurs mainly at post-translational level by the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolysis. Although rearrangements and mutations of p27/kip1 are extremely rare events, p27 levels are reduced and associated with a poor prognosis in many human carcinomas. In astrocytic tumors, p27 decreases with advancing anaplasia and is almost absent in glioblastomas. To verify whether the degradation of p27 protein was responsible for its reduced levels in malignant gliomas, p27 degradation activity was tested in 22 tissue extracts that represented high, low, and absent p27 protein levels. p27 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis and comparable results between the 2 methods were obtained. Low or undetectable p27 degradation activity was found in samples that displayed high levels of p27, i.e. all 4 normal brain biopsies, and 4 out of 6 grade II astrocytomas. Enhanced degradation activity resulted in malignant gliomas with low or absent p27 protein levels. The proteasome inhibitor LLnL abolished p27 degradation, demonstrating that it occurs in a proteasome-dependent manner. These data suggest that proteasome degradation of p27 may be instrumental in the deregulation of the cell cycle and to the malignant transformation of gliomas. 相似文献

Mutations in the progranulin gene (PGRN) are a major cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Herein we estimated the contribution of the PGRN Leu271LeufsX10 mutation to FTLD and related disorders in the Brescia cohort. The PGRN Leu271LeufsX10 mutation was found in 31% of corticobasal syndrome (CBS), 29% of frontotemporal dementia with motorneuron disease (FTD-MND), 15% of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 9.5% of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), 2% dementia with Lewy bodies and 0% of progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy cases. The prevalence strongly increased in familial forms (75% CBS, 50% FTD-MND, 27% FTD, 18% PPA): in our cohort this mutation is a major disease determinant for FTLD-related disorders with a prominent motor component. MAPT haplotype was demonstrated to be a disease modifier in PGRN Leu271LeufsX10 carriers: in H1H2 subjects the disease onset was earlier than in H2H2 individuals. Sequencing of the whole PGRN gene disclosed a previously described mutation (c.2T > C, Met1X) and three novel ones (c.709-3; c.1011delG, His340ThrfsX21; c.1021C > T, Gln341X) in single families. In the Brescia cohort, while MAPT mutations have low prevalence, mutations in PGRN were shown in 28% of familial FTLD and 75% of familial CBS cases. The PGRN Leu271LeufsX10 mutation becomes one of the most common mutations worldwide, since it was identified in 38 patients belonging to 27 unrelated families. 相似文献

The analysis of genetic variability in CYP27B1 and its effect on risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) has yielded conflicting results. Here we describe a study to genetically characterize CYP27B1 and elucidate its role on MS risk in the Canadian population. Sequencing CYP27B1 failed to identify mutations known to cause loss of enzymatic activity, however genotyping of p.R389H in cases and controls identified the mutation in one multi-incident family (allele frequency = 0.03%) in which the p.R389H mutation segregates with disease in five family members diagnosed with MS, thus providing additional support for CYP27B1 p.R389H in the pathogenicity of MS. 相似文献

Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is found in about 40% of glioblastomas (GBMs) but is rarely detected in GBM cell lines. We confirmed that the exceptional SKMG-3 GBM cell line retained amplified EGFR genes in vitro, and found that these sequences were concentrated on extra-chromosomal DNA particles similar to double-minute chromosomes. The cells contained two other gene mutations that are associated with high-grade astrocytic tumors: extra-chromosomal amplification of the cyclin-dependent kinase-4 (CDK4) gene and a homozygous mutation within the PTEN tumor suppressor gene. Immunoblots revealed very high levels of EGFR, moderately increased expression of CDK4, and no detectable PTEN protein. The overexpressed SKMG-3 EGFRs responded to exogenous ligand and resembled normal rather than mutant receptors. A heterozygous mutation of the p53 gene (p53R282W) correlated with failure of radiation to induce the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21waf1 or an early G1 cell cycle arrest. Although each of these gene mutations occurs in GBMs, SKMG-3 cells had an unusual genotype in that a p53 gene mutation co-existed with amplified EGFR genes. Nonetheless, the SKMG-3 cell line can be exploited as a model to study how oncogenic EGFR signals in GBM cells interact with over-expressed CDK4 and loss of PTEN to confer the malignant phenotype. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the impact of TP53 alteration on survival and clinicopathological features of glioma patients with H3K27M mutations. An individual-participant-data (IPD) meta-analysis was performed to investigate the impact of TP53 alteration on survival and clinicopathological features of patients with H3K27M mutations. Three hundred thirty-one individual records from 12 eligible glioma studies involving the H3K27M mutation were finally included in our meta-analysis, and a pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 1.53 (95%CI, 1.10–2.11; P?=?0.01) indicated that TP53 alterations were associated with a shorter overall survival. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) indicated that TP53 alterations were significantly associated with the age at diagnosis ≥?7 years (OR?=?1.97, 95%CI?=?1.15–3.38, P =?0.01), the status of histone H3.3 mutations (OR?=?9.15, 95%CI?=?4.18–20.06, P < 0.00001), and high WHO grade histology (III?+?IV) (OR?=?2.70, 95%CI?=?1.33–5.48, P?=?0.006). However, no association was found between TP53 alterations and gender or tumor location. This IPD meta-analysis suggests that TP53 alteration is a valuable predictor for the prognosis of patients with H3K27M mutated gliomas. TP53 alteration may be used for identifying a subset of patients who potentially benefit from targeted reactivation of TP53 activity. 相似文献

Pediatric glioblastomas (GBM) including diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are devastating brain tumors with no effective therapy. Here, we investigated clinical and biological impacts of histone H3.3 mutations. Forty-two DIPGs were tested for H3.3 mutations. Wild-type versus mutated (K27M-H3.3) subgroups were compared for HIST1H3B, IDH, ATRX and TP53 mutations, copy number alterations and clinical outcome. K27M-H3.3 occurred in 71 %, TP53 mutations in 77 % and ATRX mutations in 9 % of DIPGs. ATRX mutations were more frequent in older children (p < 0.0001). No G34V/R-H3.3, IDH1/2 or H3.1 mutations were identified. K27M-H3.3 DIPGs showed specific copy number changes, including all gains/amplifications of PDGFRA and MYC/PVT1 loci. Notably, all long-term survivors were H3.3 wild type and this group of patients had better overall survival. K27M-H3.3 mutation defines clinically and biologically distinct subgroups and is prevalent in DIPG, which will impact future therapeutic trial design. K27M- and G34V-H3.3 have location-based incidence (brainstem/cortex) and potentially play distinct roles in pediatric GBM pathogenesis. K27M-H3.3 is universally associated with short survival in DIPG, while patients wild-type for H3.3 show improved survival. Based on prognostic and therapeutic implications, our findings argue for H3.3-mutation testing at diagnosis, which should be rapidly integrated into the clinical decision-making algorithm, particularly in atypical DIPG. 相似文献

New mutations of the HPRT gene in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder involving the purine metabolism, with resultant hyperuricemia, choreoathetosis, self-mutilation, and profound neurologic dysfunction. A deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase is responsible for the disease. The human HPRT gene is located at Xq26-27 and consists of 57 base pairs. At least 2,000 mutations throughout the HPRT gene coding region from exon 1-9 have been reported. Four patients from three Chinese families were diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome according to the clinical and laboratory findings. DNA studies revealed the first family (Patients 1 and 2) had a missense mutation in exon 3 of the HPRT encoding region. This novel mutation occurs in the hot spot of the HPRT gene. The second family (Patient 3) was found to have a missense mutation in exon 8 of the HPRT gene. The third family (Patient 4) carried a mutation in the splicing region of intron 4 of the HPRT gene. All three mutations were de novo. 相似文献

Equine malignant hyperthermia MH has been suspected but never genetically confirmed. In this study, we investigated whether mutations in a candidate gene, RyR1, were associated with MH in two clinically affected horses. RyR1 gene sequences revealed polymorphisms in exons 15, 17, and 46 in WTRyR1 and MHRyR1 horses with one derived amino acid change in MHRyR1 exon 46, R2454G. The MHRyR1 horses were genetically heterozygous for this mutation, but presented an MH phenotype with halothane challenge. Skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum from a R2454G heterozygote collected during a fulminant MH episode showed significantly higher affinity and density of [3H]ryanodine-binding sites compared to WTRyR1, but no differences in Ca2+, Mg2+, and caffeine modulation. In conclusion, an autosomal missense mutation in RyR1 is associated with MH in the horse, providing a screening test for susceptible individuals. [3H]ryanodine-binding analysis suggests that long-lasting changes in RyR1 conformation persists in vitro after the triggering event. 相似文献
