Correlative study of epigenetic regulation of tumor microenvironment in spindle cell melanomas and cutaneous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Abstract:

:The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays critical roles in tumor growth and progression, however key regulators of gene expression in the TME of cutaneous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (C-MPNST) and spindle cell melanoma (SCM) have not been well elucidated. Herein, we investigate the epigenetic regulation of promoters and gene bodies and their effect on the TME composition of C-MPNSTs and SCMs. A cohort of 30 patients was analyzed using differential gene expression (DGE) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using the Nanostring platform. Methylation analysis was carried out utilizing an Infinium Methylation EPIC array targeting 866,562 methylation site (CpG) islands. DGE revealed overexpression of genes related to mast cells in the TME of SCMs, and a predominance of exhausted CD8+ T cells and macrophages in the TME of C-MPNSTs. Interestingly, we further observed promoter hypermethylation in key overexpressed genes and corresponding gene body hypomethylation. Analysis using ENCODE ChIP-sequencing data identified CTCF as the common transcription factor at the site of the hypomethylated probe. These findings support that the TME composition of C-MPNSTs and SCMs is at least partially independent on promoter methylation status, suggesting a possible relationship between gene body enhancers and expression of key TME genes in both entities.
