Abstract

Purpose: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutations occur in low-grade and high-grade gliomas. We sought to identify the genetic basis of malignant phenotype heterogeneity in IDH-mutant gliomas. Methods: We prospectively implanted tumor specimens from 20 consecutive IDH1-mutant glioma resections into mouse brains and genotyped all resection specimens using a CLIA-certified molecular panel. Gliomas with cancer driver mutations were tested for sensitivity to targeted inhibitors in vitro. Associations between genomic alterations and outcomes were analyzed in patients. Results: By 10 months, 8 of 20 IDH1-mutant gliomas developed intracerebral xenografts. All xenografts maintained mutant IDH1 and high levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate on serial transplantation. All xenograft-producing gliomas harbored “lineage-defining” mutations in CIC (oligodendroglioma) or TP53 (astrocytoma), and 6 of 8 additionally had activating mutations in PIK3CA or amplification of PDGFRA, MET, or N-MYC. Only IDH1 and CIC/TP53 mutations were detected in non–xenograft-forming gliomas (P = 0.0007). Targeted inhibition of the additional alterations decreased proliferation in vitro. Moreover, we detected alterations in known cancer driver genes in 13.4% of IDH-mutant glioma patients, including PIK3CA, KRAS, AKT, or PTEN mutation or PDGFRA, MET, or N-MYC amplification. IDH/CIC mutant tumors were associated with PIK3CA/KRAS mutations whereas IDH/TP53 tumors correlated with PDGFRA/MET amplification. Presence of driver alterations at progression was associated with shorter subsequent progression-free survival (median 9.0 vs. 36.1 months; P = 0.0011). Conclusion: A subset of IDH-mutant gliomas with mutations in driver oncogenes has a more malignant phenotype in patients. Identification of these alterations may provide an opportunity for use of targeted therapies in these patients. Clin Cancer Res; 20(11); 2898–909. ©2014 AACR.

  • IDH1 mutations are early events in glial cancer development, raising the possibility that additional oncogenic mutations render GBM tumors less dependent on mutant IDH for proliferation and progression.

    “IDH1 mutations are early events in the development of glial cancer (Watanabe et al., 2009), raising the possibility that IDH mutations are important for tumor initiation, but accumulation of additional oncogenic mutations renders GBM tumors less dependent on constitutive expression of mutant IDH for tumor proliferation and progression (Johnson et al., 2014; Wakimoto et al., 2014).”

    From Targeting Metabolism for Cancer Therapy (2017) · cites this paper as Wakimoto et al., 2014

  • Network analysis connects oncogenic RAS to several mutated driver genes-KMT2D, PIK3CA, PTEN, and IDH1-that control signaling and metabolic pathways in KRAS-driven cancers.

    “Network analysis of the several driver mutation genes, including KMT2D138, PIK3CA139, PTEN140, and IDH1141, that regulate signaling and metabolic pathways in KRAS-driven cancers, connects them to oncogenic RAS (Fig 4c).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
