By spatial mapping of subclone geographies before and after chemotherapy across 89 tumor regions from 12 NBs, we find that densely packed territories of closely related subclones present at diagnosis are replaced under effective treatment by islands of distantly related survivor subclones, originating from a different most recent ancestor compared to lineages dominating before treatment. Conversely, in tumors that progressed under treatment, ancestors of subclones dominating later in disease are present already at diagnosis. Chemotherapy treated xenografts and cell culture models replicate these two contrasting scenarios and show branching evolution to be a constant feature of proliferating NB cells. Phylogenies based on whole genome sequencing of 505 individual NB cells indicate that a rich repertoire of parallel subclones emerges already with the first oncogenic mutations and lays the foundation for clonal replacement under treatment.", "doi": "10.1038/s41467-024-53334-x", "pmid": "39419962", "labels": {"Clinical Genomics Lund": "Service", "Clinical Genomics": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC11486966"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41467-024-53334-x"}], "notes": [], "created": "2024-11-14T09:28:32.271Z", "modified": "2024-11-17T16:43:33.354Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "ed05b16509414bc8b557611000e36d26", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/ed05b16509414bc8b557611000e36d26.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/ed05b16509414bc8b557611000e36d26"}}, "title": "Clinically relevant treatment of PDX models reveals patterns of neuroblastoma chemoresistance.", "authors": [{"family": "Ma\u00f1as", "given": "Adriana", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-6955-1754", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7220571c605044f980abf2933374aa1a.json"}}, {"family": "Aaltonen", "given": "Kristina", "initials": "K", "orcid": "0000-0001-5104-735X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/68a63e2719d246a99fc51e8e3ed05cee.json"}}, {"family": "Andersson", "given": "Natalie", "initials": "N", "orcid": "0000-0002-3643-4404", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/e7ef3a8564354a78a23180c7550a03ff.json"}}, {"family": "Hansson", "given": "Karin", "initials": "K", "orcid": "0000-0002-6993-7673", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/1c0c991068644f61b10c986deff8fb7f.json"}}, {"family": "Adamska", "given": "Aleksandra", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-7152-4149", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/3f2fab5686a542fdb1286417685bc7a4.json"}}, {"family": "Seger", "given": "Alexandra", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-3191-5302", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/dfcd0a0a226c417eac8e0a48eedd4e7c.json"}}, {"family": "Yasui", "given": "Hiroaki", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "van den Bos", "given": "Hilda", "initials": "H", "orcid": "0000-0001-9787-8597", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/a3f0fd58a2714db5bcd89642f92c0158.json"}}, {"family": "Radke", "given": "Katarzyna", "initials": "K", "orcid": "0000-0002-4460-0812", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/ad483c946ce244fa898cadb6238e970d.json"}}, {"family": "Esfandyari", "given": "Javanshir", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Bhave", "given": "Madhura Satish", "initials": "MS"}, {"family": "Karlsson", "given": "Jenny", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0001-7681-0059", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7e2ccecaff1d41bfa863dde6616eeadd.json"}}, {"family": "Spierings", "given": "Diana", "initials": "D", "orcid": "0000-0001-8403-474X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/62825465dc084c7ebd10b71e274d5eb2.json"}}, {"family": "Foijer", "given": "Floris", "initials": "F", "orcid": "0000-0003-0989-3127", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/6ef3e70e2b5249029ff65894fd11b851.json"}}, {"family": "Gisselsson", "given": "David", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Bexell", "given": "Daniel", "initials": "D", "orcid": "0000-0001-9426-9550", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/dda650768a264d93a80f40da6cb8d7e1.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2022-10-28", "journal": {"title": "Sci Adv", "issn": "2375-2548", "volume": "8", "issue": "43", "pages": "eabq4617", "issn-l": "2375-2548"}, "abstract": "Chemotherapy resistance and relapses are common in high-risk neuroblastoma (NB).

Here, we used human tumor organoids representing multiple MYCN-amplified high-risk neuroblastomas to perform a high-throughput drug screen with approved or emerging oncology drugs. Tumor-selective effects were calculated using drug sensitivity scores. Several drugs with previously unreported anti-neuroblastoma effects were identified by stringent selection criteria. ARRY-520, an inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein (KSP), was among those causing reduced viability. High expression of the KSP-encoding gene KIF11 was associated with poor outcome in neuroblastoma. Genome-scale loss-of-function screens in hundreds of human cancer cell lines across 22 tumor types revealed that KIF11 is particularly important for neuroblastoma cell viability. KSP inhibition in neuroblastoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells resulted in the formation of abnormal monoastral spindles, mitotic arrest, up-regulation of mitosis-associated genes, and apoptosis. In vivo, KSP inhibition caused regression of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma PDX tumors. Furthermore, treatment of mice harboring orthotopic neuroblastoma PDX tumors resulted in increased survival. Our results suggested that KSP inhibition could be a promising treatment strategy in children with high-risk neuroblastoma.", "doi": "10.1126/scitranslmed.aba4434", "pmid": "32967973", "labels": {"Clinical Genomics Lund": "Service", "Clinical Genomics": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "12/562/eaba4434"}], "notes": [], "created": "2021-11-24T07:56:38.972Z", "modified": "2021-11-24T07:56:39.291Z"}]}
