Molecular Analysis of Pediatric Oligodendrogliomas Highlights Genetic Differences with Adult Counterparts and Other Pediatric Gliomas

Oligodendroglioma represents a distinctive neoplasm in adults but similar neoplasms occur rarely in children. We studied 20 cases of pediatric oligodendroglioma by SNP array (median age 9 years, range 1–19; 15 grade II and 5 grade III). Cytogenetic abnormalities were present in 8 (53%) grade II and all five anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. Most changes were in the form of deletion and copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (LOH). The most common abnormality was 1p deletion (n = 5). Whole arm 1p19q co‐deletion was present in three cases from adolescent patients and 9p loss in 3, including one low‐grade oligodendroglioma with CDKN2A homozygous deletion. Common losses were largely limited to the anaplastic subset (n = 5) and included 3q29 (n = 3), 11p (n = 3), 17q (n = 3), 4q (n = 2), 6p (n = 2), 13q (n = 2), 14q (n = 2), 17p (n = 2) and whole Ch 18 loss (n = 2). Gains were non‐recurrent except for whole Ch 7 (n = 2) and gain on 12q (n = 2) including the MDM2 locus. Possible germ line LOH (or uniparental disomy) was present in seven cases (35%), with one focal abnormality (22q13.1‐13.2) in two. BRAF‐KIAA1549 fusions and BRAF p.V600E mutations were absent (n = 13 and 8). In summary, cytogenetic alterations in pediatric oligodendrogliomas are characterized mostly by genomic losses, particularly in anaplastic tumors.     

Genetic Changes in Chromosomes 1p and 17p in Thyroid Cancer Progression

Little is known about the genetic alterations that occur during the progression of thyroid neoplasms. To understand better the biology of thyroid tumors, we investigated several genetic loci in benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms. Forty-one thyroid tumors (6 adenomas, 16 papillary, 14 follicular, and 5 anaplastic carcinomas) were studied. Normal and tumor cells were microdissected from paraffin-embedded tissues. DNA was used for polymerase chain reaction-based loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis with the following markers: D1S243 (1p35–36), D1S165 (1p36) and D1S162 (1p32), TP53 (17p13), and INT-2 (11q13). Immunohistochemistry for Ki-67 was performed. The Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was the percentage of positive tumor cells. LOH at 1p was seen in 2 of 5 (40%) informative cases of anaplastic carcinoma (2 of 2 at D1S162 and 1 of 2 at D1S165) and in 2 of 11 (18%) informative cases of follicular carcinoma (2 of 7 at D1S243, 2 of 7 at D1S165, and 1 of 6 at D1S162). One anaplastic (20%) and two follicular carcinomas (14%) had LOH in at least two of the 1p loci analyzed. None of the adenomas and papillary carcinomas had LOH at these loci. LOH at 17p and 11q13 were infrequent. Ki-67 LI was 1.4, 7, 16, and 65% in adenomas, papillary, follicular, and anaplastic carcinomas, respectively. Allelic loss at 1p may occur in aggressive types of thyroid carcinoma and may be a marker of poor prognosis. LOH at 1p may represent a late genetic event in thyroid carcinogenesis. LOH at 17p and 11q13 (MEN gene locus) is uncommon in thyroid neoplasms.     

Clinical significance of chromosome 1p/19q loss of heterozygosity and Sox17 expression in oligodendrogliomas

Objective: To study chromosome 1p/19q loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and Sox17 protein expression in oligodendrogliomas and correlate this loss with clinicopathological features. Methods: This study included 100 cases of oligodendrogliomas at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 2003 to 2014. The cases included paraffin-embedded tissues from 50 low-grade oligodendrogliomas and 50 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. Chromosome 1p/19q LOH was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Sox17 protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathological characteristics of the oligodendrogliomas were compared and prognosis analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Results: The LOH positivity rate of 1p/19q was 52% in 50 cases of low-grade oligodendrogliomas and 68% in 50 cases of anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (P = 0.102). The rates of Sox17 expression were significantly different in oligodendrogliomas (82%) and anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (62%, P = 0.026). Single factor analysis determined that 1p/19q LOH (P = 0.000), Sox17 protein expression (P = 0.000), location (P = 0.001), chemotherapy (P = 0.000), and radiation therapy (P = 0.001) were associated with oligodendroglioma patient prognosis. Cox multiple factors regression analysis determined that 1p/19q LOH and Sox17 expression were independent prognostic factors of oligodendrogliomas. Conclusion: In this study, oligodendroglioma patients with 1p/19q LOH and Sox17 protein expression had a better prognosis. Thus, analysis of 1p/19q LOH and Sox17 protein expression could significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy, guide treatment, and improve the prognosis.     

Clonality of oligoastrocytomas

Oligoastrocytomas (OA) are mixed glial tumors that show morphologic features of both oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas. The histogenesis of these tumors remains undefined. The aim of this study was to investigate the clonality of OA on the basis of tumor-dependent genetic alterations and tumor-independent X-chromosome inactivation. We microdissected 11 biphasic OA and subjected the oligodendroglial and astrocytic components to allelic loss analysis of chromosomes 1p, 9p21, 10q, 13q, 17p, and 19q; TP53 immunohistochemical and mutation analyses; and X-linked HUMARA gene methylation study. On the basis of the genetic findings, we categorized these tumors into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 4 tumors that showed identical genetic aberrations in the 2 histologic elements, characterized by allelic loss on 1p and 19q. These results suggest that group 1 tumors are of monoclonal origin and share a precursor cell with oligodendrogliomas. Group 2 consisted of 5 tumors characterized by losses on 1p and 19q, with additional allelic losses on chromosomes 9p, 10q, 13q and/or 17p. Four of these tumors were of the anaplastic type. Thus, group 2 tumors may be regarded as advanced variants of group 1 OA with heterogeneous genetic changes during clonal expansion. The X-chromosome inactivation analysis confirmed the monoclonality of groups 1 and 2 OA. Group 3 consisted of two tumors that showed divergent allelic loss patterns in the 2 histologic components. Mutation and overexpression of TP53 were detectable in the astrocytic components only. These findings raise the possibility that group 3 tumors have a biclonal origin. In conclusion, our results suggest that OA are predominantly of monoclonal origin but that a small subset of tumors may be derived from different precursors.     

Region-specific loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 19 is related to the morphologic type of human glioma

Allelic mutation on chromosome 19 has previously been reported as a frequent genetic event in human glial tumors. In an effort to localize specific regions of importance on this chromosome better, 13 highly polymorphic genetic markers distributed along the length of chromosome 19 were used for evaluation of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability in a total of 100 brain tumors, including 75 astrocytomas (55 grade 4; 7 grade 3; 5 grade 2; 6 grade 1; and 2 other), 17 oligodendrogliomas (1 grade 4; 5 grade 3; 10 grade 2; and 1 grade 1), and 8 mixed oligoastrocytomas (MOA) (3 grade 4; 2 grade 3; and 3 grade 2). No microsatellite expansion was observed in these glial tumors for any of the chromosome 19 loci examined. LOH for loci on chromosome 19 was detected in 23/74 informative astrocytomas (31%), 11/17 oligodendrogliomas (65%), and 3/8 MOA (38%). Partial deletion of chromosome 19 occurred more frequently (31/37 cases) than did loss of one whole copy of the chromosome, and a morphology-specific pattern of LOH was observed. In 12/14 (86%) instances of chromosome 19 deletion in oligodendrogliomas and MOA, the 19q arm showed LOH, whereas the 19p arm showed no loss for all informative loci. Conversely, in 17/23 (74%) instances of chromosome 19 deletion in astrocytomas, the 19p arm showed LOH, whereas the 19q arm showed no loss for one or more loci. Thus, loss of 19q and retention of 19p are strongly associated with oligodendroglioma and MOA, whereas loss of 19p and retention of distal 19q is associated with astrocytoma. These data indicate that two or more tumor suppressor genes may reside on chromosome 19, one on 19p important in the development of astrocytomas, and one on 19q important in oligodendrogliomas and MOA.

Granular cell astrocytomas show a high frequency of allelic loss but are not a genetically defined subset

Granular cell astrocytomas (GCA) are an uncommon morphologic variant of infiltrative glioma that contains a prominent population of atypical granular cells. As a rule, they are biologically aggressive compared to similar tumors without granular features. We sought to determine whether GCAs possess distinct genotypic alterations that might reflect their unique morphology or clinical behavior. Eleven GCAs occurring in 7 men and 4 women ranging in age from 46 to 75 years were investigated for genetic alterations of known significance in glial tumorigenesis, including LOH at 1p, 9p, 10q, 17p, and 19q, point mutations of TP53, deletions of p16(CDKN2A) and p14ARF, as well as EGFR amplifications. Tumors included had an infiltrative growth pattern and consisted of large, round cells packed with eosinophilic, PAS-positive granules that varied in quantity, ranging from 30 to 100% of tumor cells. Three tumors were of WHO grade II, one was grade III, and 7 were grade IV lesions. Overall, the tumors showed higher frequencies of LOH at 1p, 9p, 10q, 17p, and 19q than typical infiltrating astrocytomas of similar grades. Losses on 9p and 10q occurred in nearly all cases, including low grade lesions. TP53 mutations were identified in 2 grade IV GCAs, while combined p14ARF and p16(CDKN2A) homozygous deletions were noted in only one grade IV lesion. None showed EGFR amplification. We found no genetic alterations specific for GCA. Instead, it appears that granular cell change occurs across genetic subsets. The high frequency of allelic loss, especially on 9p and 10q, may confer aggressive growth potential and be related to their rapid clinical progression.     

Loss of heterozygosity in P53, BRCA1, and estrogen receptor genes and correlation to expression of p53 protein in ovarian epithelial tumors of different cell types and biological behavior

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in ovarian epithelial tumors of differing cell types and biological behavior has not been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, there have been conflicting reports correlating LOH of the p53 gene to overexpression of p53 protein. This study evaluated 34 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded ovarian epithelial tumors for LOH by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the following microsatellite markers: TP53(17p13.1/p53 gene), D17S579(17q/BRCA1 gene), and ESR (6q24-27/estrogen receptor gene). LOH of the TP53 marker was detected in 4 (44%) of 9 informative serous cystadenocarcinomas (SCa) but in 0 of 4 informative clear cell carcinomas (CCa) and 0 of 5 informative serous tumors of low malignant potential (SLMP). LOH of the BRCA1 marker was detected in 5 (83%) of 6 informative SCa, but in 1 (13%) of 8 informative CCa and 1 (14%) of 7 informative SLMP. LOH of the ESR marker was detected in 4 (50%) of 8 informative SCa, but in 0 of 4 informative CCa and 1 (16%) of 6 informative SLMP. p53 protein overexpression was present in 8 of 12 SCa but did not correlate to TP53 LOH. LOH for TP53, D17S579/ BRCA1, and ESR is common in ovarian SCa, and is observed in primary tumors as well as metastases. In contrast, these genetic alterations are less common in CCa and in the biologically less aggressive SLMP tumors. These data suggest different mechanisms of oncogenesis in ovarian epithelial tumors of different cell types and biological behavior.     

Oligodendroglial tumors: refinement of candidate regions on chromosome arm 1p and correlation of 1p/19q status with survival

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on the chromosome arms 1p and 19q is frequent in oligodendroglial tumors and has been correlated with chemosensitivity and good prognosis in anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. The oligodendroglioma-associated tumor suppressor genes on 1p and 19q are as yet unknown. To narrow down candidate regions on 1p, we investigated oligodendroglial tumors from 89 patients for LOH at up to 30 polymorphic loci on 1p. In addition, all tumors were studied for LOH at 7 loci on 19q. Combined LOH on 1p and 19q was detected in 20 (83%) of 24 oligodendrogliomas, 15(63%) of 24 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, 10 (56%) of 18 oligoastrocytomas, and 12 (52%) of 23 anaplastic oligoastrocytomas. Five tumors demonstrated partial deletions on 1p, which allowed to define 3 distinct candidate regions at 1p36.31-pter distal to D1S2633, 1p36.22-p36.31 between D1S489 and D1S2642, and 1p34.2-p36.1 between D1S2743 and D1S482, respectively. No partial deletions were detected on 19q. Combined LOH on 1p and 19q was associated with prolonged time to progression (TTP), longer overall survival (OS), and a higher 5-year survival rate. Depending on the presence or absence of combined LOH on 1p and 19q, patients with anaplastic oligodendroglial tumors treated with adjuvant radio- and/or chemotherapy showed a median TTP of 86 months versus 39 months, a median OS of 91 months versus 46 months, and a 5-year survival rate of 80% versus 36%, respectively. Similarly, LOH on 1p and 19q was associated with longer survival in patients with low-grade oligodendroglial tumors (TTP: 57 months versus 47 months; OS: 172 months versus 105 months; 5-year survival rate: 92% versus 70%). Thus, our results refine the location of putative oligodendroglioma suppressor genes on 1p and support the significance of LOH on 1p and 19q as a favorable prognostic marker.     

Age-related differences in 1p and 19q deletions in oligodendrogliomas

BACKGROUND: Recent reports indicate that anaplastic oligodendrogliomas frequently show allelic losses on chromosome arms 1p and 19q, and that these deletions are associated with better chemotherapeutic response and overall patient survival. Because of the diversified genetic makeup of the population and the centralized provincial referral system for brain tumor patients in Manitoba, the epidemiological features of such tumors sometimes differ from the published data acquired from non-community based settings. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of allelic deletions for chromosome arms 1p and 19q in anaplastic and in low-grade oligodendrogliomas in the Manitoba population. METHODS: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis of brain tumors was carried out using 4 microsatellite markers (D1S508, D1S2734, D19S219 and D19S412) and a PCR based assay. The tumors were consecutively acquired during the period September 1999-March 2001 and a total of 63 tumors were assessed. RESULTS: We found that allelic loss of chromosome 1p and 19q was higher in oligodendrogliomas than in other diffuse gliomas and that for anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, younger patients exhibited significantly more deletions than older patients (>60 years of age). CONCLUSIONS: These studies suggest that age may be a factor in the genetic alterations of oligodendrogliomas. In addition, these studies demonstrate that this assay can easily be carried out in a cost-effective manner in a small tertiary center.     

Loss of heterozygosity of a locus in the chromosomal region 17p13.3 is associated with increased cell proliferation in astrocytic tumors

We had previously reported that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the D17S379 locus on 17p13.3 was significantly more frequent in high-grade gliomas (anaplastic astrocytoma, AA; glioblastoma multiforme, GBM) than in those of a low-grade diffuse astrocytoma (DA); however, this was independent of alterations at the TP53 locus, We also showed that LOH of D17S379 was associated with positive staining for p53 protein on immunohistochemistry, but LOH of the TP53 gene had no such association. In this work we show that cell proliferation as determined by MIB-1 labeling index (LI) was significantly higher in tumors with LOH of D17S379 than those with no LOH (NLOH). In accord with our previous results, p53 protein immunopositivity was also associated with increased MIB-1 LI; however, we observed no such association of LI with TP53 LOH. The results further confirm that alteration of one or more putative tumor suppressor loci at 17p13.3 is associated with increased proliferation in astrocytic tumors.     

Loss of markers linked to BRCA1 precedes loss at important cell cycle regulatory genes in epithelial ovarian cancer

Advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC) from 114 patients were assessed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH or allelic imbalance) at several tumor suppressor gene loci as an initial step in identifying gene alterations important to the development of these tumors. The highest frequency of loss, 84% (86 of 102 cases), was observed for markers mapping near or within BRCA1; other significant frequencies of LOH were observed for loci mapping near or within CDKN2A/CDKN2B (56%), BRCA2 (61%), RB1 (67%), or TP53 (73%). No instance of TP53 LOH was observed without simultaneous allelic imbalance at the BRCA1 region (P = 0.0005). LOH of CDKN2 without loss near the BRCA1 region was seen in only 2 of 75 cases (P < 0.0001), and RB1 LOH without BRCA1 loss occurred in only 1 of 35 tumors (P = 0.0703). These data suggest that LOH of BRCA1, or a closely linked locus, precedes the loss of CDKN2, TP53, and RB1, and imply that inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene in this region is an important early step in the development of these tumors.     

Identification of oligodendroglioma specific chromosomal copy number changes in the glioblastoma MI-4 cell line by array-CGH and FISH analyses

Glioblastomas, the most frequent and malignant glial tumors, are known to be phenotypically heterogeneous. A low fraction of glioblastomas is associated with specific chromosomal losses at 1p and 19q, which are commonly found in oligodendrogliomas and are generally considered to be a primary event in the development of these tumors. Subsequent progression of oligodendroglial tumors appears to be triggered by additional molecular features underlying the transition to anaplastic oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) such as deletions of 9p and 10q, and alterations of CDKN2A (p16), which is located at 9p21. These findings strengthen the view that GBM on rare occasions may develop from oligodendroglial differentiated cells. In the present study, we evaluated the newly established MI-4 glioblastoma cell line, which displays 1p and 19q specific alterations targeting preferential regions of allelic loss in glial neoplasms, by array-CGH and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses that were combined to obtain a high resolution map of targeted chromosome rearrangements and copy number changes throughout the genome. Genome-wide and chromosome 19 full coverage array-CGH analysis of the MI-4 cell line revealed that in this particular cell line, 1p-specific loss, including the CDKN2 (p18) gene, is not accompanied by loss of the previously described 19q13.3 tumor suppressor candidate region. Interestingly, the array-CGH (CGHa) profile showed an increase in copy number along most of 19q including the AKT2 oncogene and the KLKs gene family, which have previously been shown to be amplified in pancreatic carcinomas and upregulated in several tumors, respectively. The concomitant 1p partial loss and chromosome 19 alterations, with the +7 and -10-specific GBM markers associated with homozygous deletion of 9p21.3 including CDKN2A (p16), are distinct features of the glioblastoma MI-4 cell line, illustrating its origin from an olidodendroglial tumor. Based on these results, we conclude that the MI-4 glioblastoma cell line might function as a model system for investigations into the behavior of a defined oligodendroglioma subtype.     

Comparison of allelic losses in chondroblastoma and primary chondrosarcoma of bone and correlation with fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis

Chondroblastoma (CBL) is a benign neoplasm of bone for which the genomic characteristics remain unclear. We compared the status of allelic losses of CBL with that seen in a set of chondrosarcomas (CS) to determine whether differences in their natural history and behavior are also reflected genetically. Eleven cases of CBL and 10 cases of CS of different grades were included. Tumors were subjected to microdissection and polymerase chain reaction using 17 markers located near genes on chromosomes 5, 9, 11, 13, 17, and 19. The selected chromosomes are known to be involved in several mesenchymal neoplasms. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was also performed on tumors displaying allelic losses, with dual-color probes for 9p, 17p, and 13q. Fractional allelic losses per gene ranged from 18.2% to 63.7% in CBLs and from 28.6% to 66.7% in CSs. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 5q, 9p, 11p, 13q, and 19q occurred in both CBLs and CSs. Loss of heterozygosity of 17p (p53 locus) occurred in 7 of 11 CBLs and in only 1 case of recurrent CS. The pattern of allelic loss was similar in low-grade CSs and CBLs. Loci with LOH in both tumor types suggest possible involvement of the genes p53, RB1, CDKN2/p16, ERC, and XRCC in tumorigenesis. Overall correlation between LOH and fluorescence in situ hybridization results was 90% with 17p13, 80% with 9p, and 60% with 13q. The role of p53 in CBL is uncertain; however, given the benign behavior of this tumor, it is probably unrelated to tumor progression.
