    Abstract: Minimal residual disease (MRD) diagnostics are implemented in most clinical protocols for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and are mostly performed using rearranged immunoglobulin (IG) and/or T‐cell receptor (TR) gene rearrangements as molecular polymerase chain reaction targets. Unfortunately, in 5–10% of patients no or no sensitive IG/TR targets are available, and patients therefore cannot be stratified appropriately. In the present study, we used fusion genes and genomic deletions as alternative MRD targets in these patients, which retrospectively revealed appropriate MDR stratification in 79% of patients with no (sensitive) IG/TR target, and a different risk group stratification in more than half of the cases.

    Abstract: Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors have been approved for metastatic solid tumors harboring NTRK fusions, but the detection of NTRK fusions is challenging. International guidelines recommend pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) screening followed by next generation sequencing (NGS) in tumor types with low prevalence of NTRK fusions, including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). RNA-based NGS is preferred, but is expensive, time-consuming, and extracting good-quality RNA from FFPE tissue is challenging. Alternatives in daily clinical practice are warranted. We assessed the diagnostic performance of RNA-NGS, FFPE-targeted locus capture (FFPE-TLC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and the 5′/3′ imbalance quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) after IHC screening in 268 patients with microsatellite-instability-high mCRC, the subgroup in which NTRK fusions are most prevalent (1–5%). A consensus result was determined after review of all assay results. In 16 IHC positive tumors, 10 NTRK fusions were detected. In 33 IHC negative samples, no additional transcribed NTRK fusions were found, underscoring the high sensitivity of IHC. Sensitivity of RNA-NGS, FFPE-TLC, FISH, and qRT-PCR was 90%, 90%, 78%, and 100%, respectively. Specificity was 100% for all assays. Robustness, defined as the percentage of samples that provided an interpretable result in the first run, was 100% for FFPE-TLC, yet more limited for RNA-NGS (85%), FISH (70%), and qRT-PCR (70%). Overall, we do not recommend FISH for the detection of NTRK fusions in mCRC due to its low sensitivity and limited robustness. We conclude that RNA-NGS, FFPE-TLC, and qRT-PCR are appropriate assays for NTRK fusion detection, after enrichment with pan-TRK IHC, in routine clinical practice.

    Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are crucial in innate recognition of invading micro-organisms and their subsequent clearance. Bacteria are not passive bystanders and have evolved complex evasion mechanisms. Staphylococcus aureus secretes a potent TLR2 antagonist, staphylococcal superantigen-like protein 3 (SSL3), which prevents receptor stimulation by pathogen-associated lipopeptides. Here, we present crystal structures of SSL3 and its complex with TLR2. The structure reveals that formation of the specific inhibitory complex is predominantly mediated by hydrophobic contacts between SSL3 and TLR2 and does not involve interaction of TLR2–glycans with the conserved Lewis X binding site of SSL3. In the complex, SSL3 partially covers the entrance to the lipopeptide binding pocket in TLR2, reducing its size by ∼50%. We show that this is sufficient to inhibit binding of agonist Pam 2 CSK 4 effectively, yet allows SSL3 to bind to an already formed TLR2–Pam 2 CSK 4 complex. The binding site of SSL3 overlaps those of TLR2 dimerization partners TLR1 and TLR6 extensively. Combined, our data reveal a robust dual mechanism in which SSL3 interferes with TLR2 activation at two stages: by binding to TLR2, it blocks ligand binding and thus inhibits activation. Second, by interacting with an already formed TLR2–lipopeptide complex, it prevents TLR heterodimerization and downstream signaling.

    Abstract: Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) mediates collagen-induced platelet activation after vascular damage and is an important contributor to the onset of thrombosis, heart attack, and stroke. Animal models of thrombosis have identified GPVI as a promising target for antithrombotic therapy. Although for many years the crystal structure of GPVI has been known, the essential details of its interaction with collagen have remained elusive. Here, we present crystal structures of the GPVI ectodomain bound to triple-helical collagen peptides, which reveal a collagen-binding site across the β-sheet of the D1 domain. Mutagenesis and binding studies confirm the observed binding site and identify Trp76, Arg38, and Glu40 as essential residues for binding to fibrillar collagens and collagen-related peptides (CRPs). GPVI binds a site on collagen comprising two collagen chains with the core formed by the sequence motif OGPOGP. Potent GPVI-binding peptides from Toolkit-III all contain OGPOGP; weaker binding peptides frequently contain a partial motif varying at either terminus. Alanine-scanning of peptide III-30 also identified two AGPOGP motifs that contribute to GPVI binding, but steric hindrance between GPVI molecules restricts the maximum binding capacity. We further show that no cooperative interactions could occur between two GPVI monomers binding to a stretch of (GPO)5 and that binding of ≥2 GPVI molecules to a fibril-embedded helix requires non-overlapping OGPOGP motifs. Our structure confirms the previously suggested similarity in collagen binding between GPVI and leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) but also indicates significant differences that may be exploited for the development of receptor-specific therapeutics.

    Abstract: Background— Identifying molecular pathways regulating the development of pacemaking and coordinated heartbeat is crucial for a comprehensive mechanistic understanding of arrhythmia-related diseases. Elucidation of these pathways has been complicated mainly by an insufficient definition of the developmental structures involved in these processes and the unavailability of animal models specifically targeting the relevant tissues. Here, we report on a highly restricted expression pattern of the homeodomain transcription factor Shox2 in the sinus venosus myocardium, including the sinoatrial nodal region and the venous valves. Methods and Results— To investigate its function in vivo, we have generated mouse lines carrying a targeted mutation of the Shox2 gene. Although heterozygous animals did not exhibit obvious defects, homozygosity of the targeted allele led to embryonic lethality at 11.5 to 13.5 dpc. Shox2 −/− embryos exhibited severe hypoplasia of the sinus venosus myocardium in the posterior heart field, including the sinoatrial nodal region and venous valves. We furthermore demonstrate aberrant expression of connexin 40 and connexin 43 and the transcription factor Nkx2.5 in vivo specifically within the sinoatrial nodal region and show that Shox2 deficiency interferes with pacemaking function in zebrafish embryos. Conclusions— From these results, we postulate a critical function of Shox2 in the recruitment of sinus venosus myocardium comprising the sinoatrial nodal region.

    Abstract: Defective mismatch repair (MMR) in humans causes hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. This genetic predisposition to colon cancer is linked to heterozygous familial mutations, and loss-of-heterozygosity is necessary for tumor development. In contrast, the rare cases with biallelic MMR mutations are juvenile patients with brain tumors, skin neurofibromas, and café-au-lait spots, resembling the neurofibromatosis syndrome. Many of them also display lymphomas and leukemias, which phenotypically resembles the frequent lymphoma development in mouse MMR knockouts. Here, we describe the identification and characterization of novel knockout mutants of the three major MMR genes, mlh1, msh2, and msh6, in zebrafish and show that they develop tumors at low frequencies. Predominantly, neurofibromas/malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors were observed; however, a range of other tumor types was also observed. Our findings indicate that zebrafish mimic distinct features of the human disease and are complementary to mouse models. [Cancer Res 2008;68(13):5059–66]

    Abstract: The zebrafish has developed into an important model organism for biomedical research over the last decades. Although the main focus of zebrafish research has traditionally been on developmental biology, keeping and observing zebrafish in the lab led to the identification of diseases similar to humans, such as cancer, which subsequently became a subject for study. As a result, about 50 articles have been published since 2000 in which zebrafish were used as a cancer model. Strategies used include carcinogenic treatments, transplantation of mammalian cancer cells, forward genetic screens for proliferation or genomic instability, reverse genetic target-selected mutagenesis to inactivate known tumor suppressor genes, and the generation of transgenics to express human oncogenes. Zebrafish have been found to develop almost any tumor type known from human, with similar morphology and, according to gene expression array studies, comparable signaling pathways. However, tumor incidences are relatively low, albeit highly comparable between different mutants, and tumors develop late in life. In addition, tumor spectra are sometimes different when compared with mice and humans. Nevertheless, the zebrafish model has created its own niche in cancer research, complementing existing models with its specific experimental advantages and characteristics. Examples of these are imaging of tumor progression in living fish by fluorescence, treatment with chemical compounds, and screening possibilities not only for chemical modifiers but also for genetic enhancers and suppressors. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of zebrafish as a model in cancer research. (Mol Cancer Res 2008;6(5):685–94)

    Abstract: Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the principal cause of cervical cancers, subsets of anogenital and head and neck cancers (HNC). During persistent infection, viral DNA integration into the host genome may occur, which is suggested to affect carcinogenesis. One of the most critical limitations of currently used HPV integration detection techniques (PCR-based or NGS-based) is their application to FFPE material, because of DNA fragmentation. The aim of this study was to assess HPV integration in HPV-positive HNSCC cell lines and FFPE tissue comparing the new Targeted Locus Amplification (TLA) technology with previously used PCR technology (APOT/DIPS). Methods: Seven HPV-positive cell lines and FFPE material of 10 HPV-positive HNSCC were used for HPV integration detection by TLA, a proximity ligation-based next-generation sequencing technique. Crosslinked DNA is digested with restriction enzymes, and re-ligated into chimeric DNA molecules. For cell lines, a PCR based HPV16 target enrichment is performed, and for FFPE material a capture-based target enrichment is performed for HPV16 and HPV18 sequences, both followed by Illumina sequencing. Results: TLA was able to sequence up to 100 kb around the target, detecting exact HPV integration loci, structural variants, and chromosomal rearrangements. In all cell lines, one or more integration sites were identified, in accordance with APOT/DIPS PCR data and the literature. In the FFPE tissue samples, TLA identified integrated HPV in 6 out of 10 tumors, with simple and complex integration patterns. In general, TLA confirmed PCR data and detected additional integration sites. Conclusion: TLA provides the opportunity for reliable and robust detection of HPV integration in HNSCC cell lines and FFPE tissue. This new sequencing technology could be a useful tool for further research on HPV integration in disease and patient outcome and eventually in clinical diagnostics.
