abstract = {As the progression of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas into
grade 4 tumors significantly impacts patient prognosis, a
better understanding of this process is of paramount
importance for improved patient care. In this project, we
analyzed matched IDH-mutant astrocytomas before and after
progression to grade 4 from six patients (discovery cohort)
with genome-wide sequencing, 21 additional patients with
targeted sequencing, and 33 patients from Glioma
Longitudinal AnalySiS cohort for validation. The Cancer
Genome Atlas data from 595 diffuse gliomas provided
supportive information. All patients in our discovery cohort
received radiation, all but one underwent chemotherapy, and
no patient received temozolomide (TMZ) before progression to
grade 4 disease. One case in the discovery cohort exhibited
a hypermutation signature associated with the inactivation
of the MSH2 and DNMT3A genes. In other patients, the number
of chromosomal rearrangements and deletions increased in
grade 4 tumors. The cell cycle checkpoint gene CDKN2A, or
less frequently RB1, was most commonly inactivated after
receiving both chemo- and radiotherapy when compared to
other treatment groups. Concomitant activating PDGFRA/MET
alterations were detected in tumors that acquired a
homozygous CDKN2A deletion. NRG3 gene was significantly
downregulated and recurrently altered in progressed tumors.
Its decreased expression was associated with poorer overall
survival in both univariate and multivariate analysis. We
also detected progression-related alterations in RAD51B and
other DNA repair pathway genes associated with the promotion
of error-prone DNA repair, potentially facilitating tumor
progression. In our retrospective analysis of patient
treatment and survival timelines (n = 75), the combination
of postoperative radiation and chemotherapy (mainly TMZ)
outperformed radiation, especially in the grade 3 tumor
cohort, in which it was typically given after primary
surgery. Our results provide further insight into the
contribution of treatment and genetic alterations in cell
cycle, growth factor signaling, and DNA repair-related genes
to tumor evolution and progression.},
