    Rapid Intraoperative Molecular Characterization of Glioma
    (American Medical Association (AMA), 2015) Shankar, Ganesh; Francis, Joshua M.; Rinne, Mikael; Ramkissoon, Shakti H.; Huang, Franklin; Venteicher, Andrew S; Akama-Garren, Elliot H.; Kang, Yun Jee; Lelic, Nina; Kim, James C.; Brown, Loreal E.; Charbonneau, Sarah K; Golby, Alexandra; Sekhar Pedamallu, Chandra; Hoang, Mai; Sullivan, Ryan; Cherniack, Andrew D.; Garraway, Levi; Stemmer-Rachamimov, Anat; Reardon, David; Wen, Patrick; Brastianos, Priscilla; Curry, William; Barker, Frederick; Hahn, William; Nahed, Brian; Ligon, Keith; Louis, David; Cahill, Daniel; Meyerson, Matthew
    IMPORTANCE: Conclusive intraoperative pathologic confirmation of diffuse infiltrative glioma guides the decision to pursue definitive neurosurgical resection. Establishing the intraoperative diagnosis by histologic analysis can be difficult in low-cellularity infiltrative gliomas. Therefore, we developed a rapid and sensitive genotyping assay to detect somatic single-nucleotide variants in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1). OBSERVATIONS: This assay was applied to tissue samples from 190 patients with diffuse gliomas, including archived fixed and frozen specimens and tissue obtained intraoperatively. Results demonstrated 96% sensitivity (95% CI, 90%–99%) and 100% specificity (95% CI, 95%–100%) for World Health Organization grades II and III gliomas. In a series of live cases, glioma-defining mutations could be identified within 60 minutes, which could facilitate the diagnosis in an intraoperative timeframe. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The genotyping method described herein can establish the diagnosis of low-cellularity tumors like glioma and could be adapted to the point-of-care diagnosis of other lesions that are similarly defined by highly recurrent somatic mutations.

    Synergistic interactions with PI3K inhibition that induce apoptosis
    (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2017) Zwang, Yaara; Jonas, Oliver; Chen, Casandra; Rinne, Mikael; Doench, John G; Piccioni, Federica; Tan, Li; Huang, Hai-Tsang; Wang, Jinhua; Ham, Young Jin; O'Connell, Joyce; Bhola, Patrick; Doshi, Mihir; Whitman, Matthew; Cima, Michael; Letai, Anthony; Root, David E; Langer, Robert S; Gray, Nathanael; Hahn, William
    Activating mutations involving the PI3K pathway occur frequently in human cancers. However, PI3K inhibitors primarily induce cell cycle arrest, leaving a significant reservoir of tumor cells that may acquire or exhibit resistance. We searched for genes that are required for the survival of PI3K mutant cancer cells in the presence of PI3K inhibition by conducting a genome scale shRNA-based apoptosis screen in a PIK3CA mutant human breast cancer cell. We identified 5 genes (PIM2, ZAK, TACC1, ZFR, ZNF565) whose suppression induced cell death upon PI3K inhibition. We showed that small molecule inhibitors of the PIM2 and ZAK kinases synergize with PI3K inhibition. In addition, using a microscale implementable device to deliver either siRNAs or small molecule inhibitors in vivo, we showed that suppressing these 5 genes with PI3K inhibition induced tumor regression. These observations identify targets whose inhibition synergizes with PI3K inhibitors and nominate potential combination therapies involving PI3K inhibition.

    Central Nervous System Involvement by Waldenström Macroglobulinaemia (Bing-Neel Syndrome): A Multi-Institutional Retrospective Study
    (Wiley, 2016-03) Castillo, Jorge; D'Sa, Shirley; Lunn, Michael P.; Minnema, Monique C.; Tedeschi, Alessandra; Lansigan, Frederick; Palomba, M. Lia; Varettoni, Marzia; Garcia-Sanz, Ramon; Nayak, Lakshmi; Lee, Eudocia Q.; Rinne, Mikael; Norden, Andrew D.; Ghobrial, Irene; Treon, Steven
    Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) is a rare complication seen in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM), in which lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) cells colonize the central nervous system (CNS). In this retrospective multi-centre study, we present the clinicopathological features, imaging findings, therapy, response and outcomes of 34 patients with BNS. The median time from WM diagnosis to BNS diagnosis was 3 years, 15% of patients were diagnosed with BNS at the time of WM diagnosis, and 22% of patients developed BNS when responding to active treatment for WM. Patients with BNS presented with variable clinical features including limb motor deficits, change in mental status and cranial nerve palsies. The diagnosis was made using a combination of cerebrospinal fluid cytology, flow cytometry and detection of the MYD88 L265 mutation, and magnetic resonance imaging. The estimated 3-year overall survival rate was 59%. Of the survivors, 40% have evidence of pathological or radiological persistence of disease. Age older than 65 years, platelet count lower than 100 x 109/l, and treatment for WM prior to BNS diagnosis were associated with worse outcome. Exposure to rituximab for treatment of BNS was associated with a better outcome. Multi-institutional collaboration is warranted to improve treatment and outcomes in patients with BNS.
