Abstract:
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The Mayo Clinic has developed a large panel of patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Here we report initial molecular profiling of the Mayo PDX panel and a comparison of patient and PDX molecular profile and response to therapy. METHODS & MATERIALS Clinical data was retrieved by retrospective chart review. Animal data from all PDX investigations conducted between 2004-2014 were retrieved from experimental logs and subsequently consolidated into a database for analysis. RESULTS From 1999 to 2014, 182 patient tumor samples of varying histological grades were attempted for xenograft with 73 resulting viable PDX lines. Viable xenografts were only produced from WHO grade IV tumor specimens, yielding an overall success rate of 49% for these tumors. GBM patients that produced viable xenografts compared to those that did not exhibited a trend for decreased overall survival (P = 0.18). There was no significant association between successful xenografting and whether tissue was from newly diagnosed (45/93%) or recurrent (20/40; 50%) tumors. Patient age & gt; 45 at diagnosis was correlated with increased PDX viability in GBMs (p = 0.05). Of the viable PDX models analyzed, EGFR mutation was identified in 17 lines, TERT mutation was found in 13 lines, IDH mutation in 1 line, and MGMT hypermethylation in 25 lines. RNAseq was performed on orthotopic tumor samples from 53 PDX models. After excluding contaminating murine sequence reads, expression analysis demonstrated 32 models with a mesenchymal phenotype. Array comparative genomic hybridization was performed on 9 patient samples and derivative early, mid and late passage PDX tumors. Using unbiased hierarchical clustering, there was a high concordance between patient and xenograft models. Within the PDX panel, fractionated radiation (RT) alone and RT combined with temozolomide (TMZ) was tested in orthotopic tumors in 38 lines. The overall median survival benefit (ratio of median survival for treated vs. placebo) in PDX lines treated with RT only was 1.6 (range: 0.9-2.5) and with RT/TMZ was 2.5 (range: 1.1 - 8.9). There was a positive association between observed patient survival and the corresponding survival benefit in the PDX for subjects treated with RT/TMZ (r = 0.2; n = 17). Response to adjuvant TMZ was evaluated in 42 tumor lines, and response to bevacizumab was tested in 33 tumor lines, and correlations with clinical treatment response are being evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: The Mayo GBM PDX panel is widely used in the neuro-oncology community. The initial molecular analysis suggests a good correlation between patient and PDX at the level of genotypic characteristics and therapeutic sensitivity. Citation Format: Dioval A. Remonde, Brett L.
