Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are aggressive childhood brain tumors with a dismal prognosis. Most of these tumors carry K27M mutations in histone H3-encoding genes, particularly H3F3A and HIST1H3B. In addition, activating mutations in ACVR1 and PIK3CA co-occur in a subset of DMGs. To understand how these lesions drive the development of DMGs, we generated genetically engineered mouse models in which Acvr1G328V, Hist1h3bK27M, and Pik3caH1047R are targeted to the OLIG2-expressing cell lineage. Animals carrying Acvr1G328V and Pik3caH1047R, with (“AHPO”) or without (“APO”) Hist1h3bK27M, developed high-grade diffuse gliomas involving midline and forebrain regions. Neither Acvr1G328V nor Pik3caH1047R drove tumorigenesis by themselves, but Acvr1G328V was sufficient to cause oligodendroglial differentiation arrest, pointing to a role in the earliest stages of gliomas formation. Transcriptomic analyses of AHPO and APO tumors indicated a predominantly proneural and oligodendrocyte precursor-like gene expression signature, consistent with the corresponding human pathology. Genes encoding transcription factors (TFs) with dual roles in controlling glial and neuronal differentiation were upregulated in tumors. Some of these genes were mildly induced by Acvr1G328V alone. Functional experiments using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in patient-derived cell lines confirmed a role for some of these TFs in controlling DMG cell fitness. Overall, our results suggest that Pik3caH1047R consolidates Acvr1G328V-induced glial differentiation arrest to drive DMG development and progression.

Genetically Engineered Mouse Models

Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of cancer are increasingly being used to assess putative driver mutations identified by large-scale sequencing of human cancer genomes. To accurately interpret experiments that introduce additional mutations, an understanding of the somatic genetic profile and evolution of GEMM tumors is necessary. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing of tumors from three GEMMs of lung adenocarcinoma driven by mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mutant Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (Kras), or overexpression of MYC proto-oncogene. Tumors from EGFR- and Kras-driven models exhibited, respectively, 0.02 and 0.07 nonsynonymous mutations per megabase, a dramatically lower average mutational frequency than observed in human lung adenocarcinomas. Tumors from models driven by strong cancer drivers (mutant EGFR and Kras) harbored few mutations in known cancer genes, whereas tumors driven by MYC, a weaker initiating oncogene in the murine lung, acquired recurrent clonal oncogenic Kras mutations. In addition, although EGFR- and Kras-driven models both exhibited recurrent whole-chromosome DNA copy number alterations, the specific chromosomes altered by gain or loss were different in each model. These data demonstrate that GEMM tumors exhibit relatively simple somatic genotypes compared with human cancers of a similar type, making these autochthonous model systems useful for additive engineering approaches to assess the potential of novel mutations on tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and drug sensitivity.
