BAP1: Case Report and Insight Into a Novel Tumor Suppressor Kanad Ghosh1, Badri Modi2, William D
Ghosh et al. BMC Dermatology (2017) 17:13 DOI 10.1186/s12895-017-0065-6 CASEREPORT Open Access BAP1: case report and insight into a novel tumor suppressor Kanad Ghosh1, Badri Modi2, William D. James2 and Brian C. Capell1,2,3* Abstract Background: BRCA1-Associated-Protein 1 (BAP1) is a dynamic tumor suppressor which, when mutated, has been associated with an increased risk of uveal melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, mesothelioma, and several other cancers. Germline BAP1 mutations have been extensively studied, where they have been found to cause hereditary cancer susceptibility. However, their sporadic counterparts, tumors that display a loss of BAP1 expression due to somatically arising mutations in the BAP1 gene, remain a poorly described entity. Case presentation: Here we present the case of a 49-year-old female who presented with an asymptomatic dome-shaped pink papule on the dorsal foot which was found on biopsy to be deficient in the BAP1 tumor suppressor. While the patient’s family history did not suggest the presence of a familial cancer syndrome, germline genetic testing was performed and was negative. The patient underwent surgical excision of this sporadically appearing “BAPoma” by Mohs surgery. Conclusions: Given the relatively banal clinical appearance of these dome-shaped neoplasms, sporadic BAPomas may often be overlooked by clinicians and dermatologists. In addition to providing a representative case, here we also provide a synopsis of the current understanding of these neoplasms, both in terms of the histopathological features, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying BAP1 function and its ability to prevent tumorigenesis. Keywords: BAP1, Tumor suppression, Familial cancer syndrome Background More recently, sporadic somatic BAP1 mutations have Within the last decade, the BRCA1-Associated-Protein 1 been shown to occur in the setting of both mesothelioma (BAP1) has been increasingly appreciated for its tumor sup- and uveal melanoma [3]. -

The complexity and topography of intra-clonal genetic architecture has major implications for biopsy-based prognosis and for targeted therapy. High depth, next generation sequencing (NGS) efficiently captures the mutational load of individual tumours or biopsies. But, being a snapshot portrait of total DNA, it disguises the fundamental features of sub-clonal variegation of genetic lesions and of clonal phylogeny. Single cell genetic profiling provides a potential resolution to this problem but methods developed to date all have limitations. -

Expression of the POTE Gene Family in Human Ovarian Cancer Carter J Barger1,2, Wa Zhang1,2, Ashok Sharma 1,2, Linda Chee1,2, Smitha R
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Expression of the POTE gene family in human ovarian cancer Carter J Barger1,2, Wa Zhang1,2, Ashok Sharma 1,2, Linda Chee1,2, Smitha R. James3, Christina N. Kufel3, Austin Miller 4, Jane Meza5, Ronny Drapkin 6, Kunle Odunsi7,8,9, 2,10 1,2,3 Received: 5 July 2018 David Klinkebiel & Adam R. Karpf Accepted: 7 November 2018 The POTE family includes 14 genes in three phylogenetic groups. We determined POTE mRNA Published: xx xx xxxx expression in normal tissues, epithelial ovarian and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (EOC, HGSC), and pan-cancer, and determined the relationship of POTE expression to ovarian cancer clinicopathology. Groups 1 & 2 POTEs showed testis-specifc expression in normal tissues, consistent with assignment as cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), while Group 3 POTEs were expressed in several normal tissues, indicating they are not CTAs. Pan-POTE and individual POTEs showed signifcantly elevated expression in EOC and HGSC compared to normal controls. Pan-POTE correlated with increased stage, grade, and the HGSC subtype. Select individual POTEs showed increased expression in recurrent HGSC, and POTEE specifcally associated with reduced HGSC OS. Consistent with tumors, EOC cell lines had signifcantly elevated Pan-POTE compared to OSE and FTE cells. Notably, Group 1 & 2 POTEs (POTEs A/B/B2/C/D), Group 3 POTE-actin genes (POTEs E/F/I/J/KP), and other Group 3 POTEs (POTEs G/H/M) show within-group correlated expression, and pan-cancer analyses of tumors and cell lines confrmed this relationship. Based on their restricted expression in normal tissues and increased expression and association with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer, POTEs are potential oncogenes and therapeutic targets in this malignancy. -

Oncogene Associated Cdna Microarray Analysis Shows PRAME
J Clin Exp Hematopathol Vol. 49, No. 1, May 2009 Original Article Oncogene Associated cDNA Microarray Analysis Shows PRAME Gene Expression is a Marker for Response to Anthracycline Containing Chemotherapy in Patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Riko Kawano,1,3) Kennosuke Karube,3) Masahiro Kikuchi,2) Morishige Takeshita,2) Kazuo Tamura,1) Naokuni Uike,4) Tetsuya Eto,5) Koichi Ohshima,3) and Junji Suzumiya1,6) CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone) therapy achieves a response in more than 60% patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). However, DLBCL shows a heterogeneous response to chemotherapy, and some patients are refractory to CHOP therapy. This difference in response to therapy is most likely due to differences in biological characteristics. We used cDNA microarray analysis to identify genes differentially expressed in anthracycline containing chemotherapy-resistant DLBCLs (7 patients) compared with anthracycline containing chemotherapy-sensitive DLBCLs (6 patients). Nine genes on the cDNA chip showed increased expression in anthracycline containing chemotherapy- resistant patients. We chose the preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) gene because it showed the highest expression in anthracycline containing chemotherapy-resistant DLBCLs on the cDNA chip, and it has been linked to prognosis of hematological malignancies. We also examined the relationship between PRAME gene expression and progression-free survival (PFS) in 45 patients with DLBCL. The progression-free survival -

Almost half of the patients with UM develop distant metastases, predominantly to the liver, and so far there are no effective adjuvant therapies. An accurate UM genetic profile could assess the individual patient’s metastatic risk, and provide the basis to determine an individualized targeted therapeutic strategy for each UM patients. -
ASXL3 Bridges BRD4 to BAP1 Complex and Governs Enhancer
Szczepanski et al. Genome Medicine (2020) 12:63 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13073-020-00760-3 RESEARCH Open Access ASXL3 bridges BRD4 to BAP1 complex and governs enhancer activity in small cell lung cancer Aileen Patricia Szczepanski1,2†, Zibo Zhao1,2†, Tori Sosnowski3, Young Ah Goo1,2,3, Elizabeth Thomas Bartom1,2 and Lu Wang1,2* Abstract Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a more aggressive subtype of lung cancer that often results in rapid tumor growth, early metastasis, and acquired therapeutic resistance. Consequently, such phenotypical characteristics of SCLC set limitations on viable procedural options, making it difficult to develop both screenings and effective treatments. In this study, we examine a novel mechanistic insight in SCLC cells that could potentially provide a more sensitive therapeutic alternative for SCLC patients. Methods: Biochemistry studies, including size exclusion chromatography, mass spectrometry, and western blot analysis, were conducted to determine the protein-protein interaction between additional sex combs-like protein 3 (ASXL3) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). Genomic studies, including chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), RNA sequencing, and genome-wide analysis, were performed in both human and mouse SCLC cells to determine the dynamic relationship between BRD4/ASXL3/BAP1 epigenetic axis in chromatin binding and its effects on transcriptional activity. Results: We report a critical link between BAP1 complex and BRD4, which is bridged by the physical interaction between ASXL3 and BRD4 in an SCLC subtype (SCLC-A), which expresses a high level of ASCL1. We further showed that ASXL3 functions as an adaptor protein, which directly interacts with BRD4’s extra-terminal (ET) domain via a novel BRD4 binding motif (BBM), and maintains chromatin occupancy of BRD4 to active enhancers. -
Short-Term Western-Style Diet Negatively Impacts Reproductive Outcomes in Primates
Short-term Western-style diet negatively impacts reproductive outcomes in primates Sweta Ravisankar, … , Shawn L. Chavez, Jon D. Hennebold JCI Insight. 2021;6(4):e138312. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.138312. Research Article Metabolism Reproductive biology A maternal Western-style diet (WSD) is associated with poor reproductive outcomes, but whether this is from the diet itself or underlying metabolic dysfunction is unknown. Here, we performed a longitudinal study using regularly cycling female rhesus macaques (n = 10) that underwent 2 consecutive in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, one while consuming a low-fat diet and another 6–8 months after consuming a high-fat WSD. Metabolic data were collected from the females prior to each IVF cycle. Follicular fluid (FF) and oocytes were assessed for cytokine/steroid levels and IVF potential, respectively. Although transition to a WSD led to weight gain and increased body fat, no difference in insulin levels was observed. A significant decrease in IL-1RA concentration and the ratio of cortisol/cortisone was detected in FF after WSD intake. Despite an increased probability of isolating mature oocytes, a 44% reduction in blastocyst number was observed with WSD consumption, and time-lapse imaging revealed delayed mitotic timing and multipolar divisions. RNA sequencing of blastocysts demonstrated dysregulation of genes involved in RNA binding, protein channel activity, mitochondrial function and pluripotency versus cell differentiation after WSD consumption. Thus, short-term WSD consumption promotes a proinflammatory intrafollicular microenvironment that is associated with impaired preimplantation development in the absence of large-scale metabolic changes.

Role of the Bap1/Asxl1 Complex in Malignant Transformation and Therapeutic Response
ROLE OF THE BAP1/ASXL1 COMPLEX IN MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION AND THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE by Lindsay Marie LaFave A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy New York, NY July, 2015 ____________________________ ______________________ Ross L. Levine, MD Date Dissertation Mentor © 2015 Lindsay Marie LaFave DEDICATION To my parents, without your endless support and dedication none of this would have been possible. To my sister, for being the very best of friends and always making me laugh To my loving husband, for the constant happiness you bring me. You are my everything. iii ABSTRACT Role of the BAP1/ASXL1 Complex in Malignant Transformation and Therapeutic Response Somatic mutations in epigenetic modifiers have recently been identified in hematopoietic malignancies and in other human cancers. However, the mechanisms by which these epigenetic mutations lead to changes in gene expression and disease transformation have not yet been well delineated. Epigenetic modifiers include chromatin regulators that modify post-translational modifications on histone molecules. Mutations in ASXL1 (Addition of sex combs-like 1) are a common genetic event in a spectrum of myeloid malignancies and are associated with poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We investigated the role of ASXL1 mutations on target gene expression and chromatin state in hematopoietic cell lines and mouse models. We performed loss-of-function in vitro experiments in AML cell lines and conducted expression analysis. Loss of ASXL1 resulted in increased expression of the posterior HOXA cluster. -

FARE2021WINNERS Sorted By Institute Swati Shah Postdoctoral Fellow CC Radiology/Imaging/PET and Neuroimaging Characterization of CNS involvement in Ebola-Infected Macaques using Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 18F-FDG PET and Immunohistology The Ebola (EBOV) virus outbreak in Western Africa resulted in residual neurologic abnormalities in survivors. Many case studies detected EBOV in the CSF, suggesting that the neurologic sequelae in survivors is related to viral presence. In the periphery, EBOV infects endothelial cells and triggers a “cytokine stormâ€. However, it is unclear whether a similar process occurs in the brain, with secondary neuroinflammation, neuronal loss and blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise, eventually leading to lasting neurological damage. We have used in vivo imaging and post-necropsy immunostaining to elucidate the CNS pathophysiology in Rhesus macaques infected with EBOV (Makona). Whole brain MRI with T1 relaxometry (pre- and post-contrast) and FDG-PET were performed to monitor the progression of disease in two cohorts of EBOV infected macaques from baseline to terminal endpoint (day 5-6). Post-necropsy, multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemical (MF-IHC) staining for various cellular markers in the thalamus and brainstem was performed. Serial blood and CSF samples were collected to assess disease progression. The linear mixed effect model was used for statistical analysis. Post-infection, we first detected EBOV in the serum (day 3) and CSF (day 4) with dramatic increases until euthanasia. The standard uptake values of FDG-PET relative to whole brain uptake (SUVr) in the midbrain, pons, and thalamus increased significantly over time (p<0.01) and positively correlated with blood viremia (p≤0.01).
