Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- These guidelines for the management of congenital ichthyoses have been developed by a multidisciplinary group of European experts following a systematic review of the current literature, an expert conference held in Toulouse in 2016, and a consensus on the discussions. These guidelines summarize evidence and expert-based recommendations and intend to help clinicians with the management of these rare and often complex diseases. These guidelines comprise two sections. This is part two, covering the management of complications and the particularities of some forms of congenital ichthyosis. What's already known about this topic? Various symptomatic treatment options exist for congenital ichthyoses, but there are no European guidelines. What does this study add? These European guidelines for the management of congenital ichthyosis may help to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients. Linked Comment: Akiyama. Br J Dermatol 2019; 180:449-450.

They summarize evidence and expert-based recommendations and are intended to help clinicians with the management of these rare and often complex diseases. These guidelines comprise two sections. This is part one, covering topical therapies, systemic therapies, psychosocial management, communicating the diagnosis and genetic counselling.

- Relapse is the leading cause of death in patients with medulloblas-toma, the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying recurrence could lead to more effective therapies for targeting tumor relapses. Here, we observed that SOX9, a transcription factor and stem cell/glial fate marker, is limited to rare, quiescent cells in high-risk medulloblastoma with MYC amplification. In paired primary-recurrent patient samples, SOX9-positive cells accumulated in medulloblastoma relapses. SOX9 expression anti-correlated with MYC expression in murine and human medulloblastoma cells. However, SOX9-positive cells were plastic and could give rise to a MYC high state. To follow relapse at the single-cell level, an inducible dual Tet model of medulloblastoma was developed, in which MYC expression was redirected in vivo from treatment-sensitive bulk cells to dormant SOX9-positive cells using doxycycline treatment. SOX9 was essential for relapse initiation and depended on suppression of MYC activity to promote therapy resistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and immune escape. p53 and DNA repair pathways were downregulated in recurrent tumors, whereas MGMT was upregulated. Recurrent tumor cells were found to be sensitive to treatment with an MGMT inhibitor and doxorubicin. These findings suggest that recurrence-specific targeting coupled with DNA repair inhibition comprises a potential therapeutic strategy in patients affected by medulloblastoma relapse.Significance: SOX9 facilitates therapy escape and recurrence in medulloblastoma via temporal inhibition of MYC/MYCN genes, revealing a strategy to specifically target SOX9-positive cells to prevent tumor relapse.

Dormant SOX9-positive cells behind MYC-driven medulloblastoma recurrence
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tumor recurrence is a slow biological process involving therapy resistance, immune escape, and metastasis and is the leading cause of death in medulloblastoma, the most frequent malignant pediatric brain tumor. By studying paired primary-recurrent patient samples and patient-derived xenografts we identified a significant accumulation of SOX9-positive cells in relapses and metastases. They exist as rare, quiescent cells in Group 3 and Group 4 patients that constitute two-thirds of medulloblastoma. To follow relapse at the single-cell level we developed an inducible dual Tet model of MYC-driven MB, where MYC can be directed from treatment-sensitive bulk cells to resistant, dormant SOX9-positive cells by doxycycline. SOX9 promoted immune es-cape, DNA repair suppression and was essential for recurrence. Tumor cell dormancy was non-hierarchical, migratory, and depended on MYC suppression by SOX9 to promote relapse. By using computational modeling and treatment we further showed how doxorubicin and MGMT inhibitors are specifically targeting relapsing cells.

- SOX9 is a master transcription factor that regulates development and stem cell programs. However, its potential oncogenic activity and regulatory mechanisms that control SOX9 protein stability are poorly understood. Here, we show that SOX9 is a substrate of FBW7, a tumor suppressor, and a SCF (SKP1/CUL1/F-box)-type ubiquitin ligase. FBW7 recognizes a conserved degron surrounding threonine 236 (T236) in SOX9 that is phosphorylated by GSK3 kinase and consequently degraded by SCFFBW7 alpha. Failure to degrade SOX9 promotes migration, metastasis, and treatment resistance in medulloblastoma, one of the most common childhood brain tumors. FBW7 is either mutated or downregulated in medulloblastoma, and in cases where FBW7 mRNA levels are low, SOX9 protein is significantly elevated and this phenotype is associated with metastasis at diagnosis and poor patient outcome. Transcriptional profiling of medulloblastoma cells expressing a degradation-resistant SOX9 mutant reveals activation of pro-metastatic genes and genes linked to cisplatin resistance. Finally, we show that pharmacological inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activity destabilizes SOX9 in a GSK3/FBW7-dependent manner, rendering medulloblastoma cells sensitive to cytostatic treatment.
