Abstract
Metabolite reference standards are often not available, which results in a lack of MS/MS spectra for library matching. Consequently, the identification of suspected metabolites proves to be challenging. The present study aims at structurally elucidating the MS/MS fragmentation behavior of selected benzimidazole anthelmintics to theoretically predict characteristic product ions for rapid and systematic tentative metabolite identification. A set of common characteristic product ions was identified from accurate mass MS/MS experiments for five parent compounds. It was hypothesized that the mass shift of any metabolic transformation at the parent molecule also is observable in the mass spectrum of the corresponding metabolite. This was tested and verified with six metabolite reference standards and subsequently, formulated as a general prediction scheme. The approach was integrated into a rapid MSe QTOF workflow and tested in mouse plasma for mebendazole and its metabolites. The presented scheme allows the prediction of characteristic product ions for suspected unknown metabolites. These can be matched with measured product ions of suspected metabolites for tentative identification. The theoretically predicted spectra can contribute to the tentative identification of unknown compounds in non-target and suspect screening approaches.

Abstract
Purpose: The classification of medulloblastoma into WNT, SHH, group 3, and group 4 subgroups has become of critical importance for patient risk stratification and subgroup-tailored clinical trials. Here, we aimed to develop a simplified, clinically applicable classification approach that can be implemented in the majority of centers treating patients with medulloblastoma.Experimental Design: We analyzed 1,577 samples comprising previously published DNA methylation microarray data (913 medulloblastomas, 457 non-medulloblastoma tumors, 85 normal tissues), and 122 frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded medulloblastoma samples. Biomarkers were identified applying stringent selection filters and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method, and validated using DNA methylation microarray data, bisulfite pyrosequencing, and direct-bisulfite sequencing.Results: Using a LDA-based approach, we developed and validated a prediction method (EpiWNT-SHH classifier) based on six epigenetic biomarkers that allowed for rapid classification of medulloblastoma into the clinically relevant subgroups WNT, SHH, and non-WNT/non-SHH with excellent concordance (>99%) with current gold-standard methods, DNA methylation microarray, and gene signature profiling analysis. The EpiWNT-SHH classifier showed high prediction capacity using both frozen and formalin-fixed material, as well as diverse DNA methylation detection methods. Similarly, we developed a classifier specific for group 3 and group 4 tumors, based on five biomarkers (EpiG3-G4) with good discriminatory capacity, allowing for correct assignment of more than 92% of tumors. EpiWNT-SHH and EpiG3-G4 methylation profiles remained stable across tumor primary, metastasis, and relapse samples.Conclusions: The EpiWNT-SHH and EpiG3-G4 classifiers represent a new simplified approach for accurate, rapid, and cost-effective molecular classification of single medulloblastoma DNA samples, using clinically applicable DNA methylation detection methods.

Abstract
Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is the most common undifferentiated ovarian malignancy diagnosed in women under age 40. We and others recently determined that germline and/or somatic deleterious mutations in SMARCA4 characterize SCCOHT. Alterations in this gene, or the related SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling gene SMARCB1, have been previously reported in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) and malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs). To further describe the somatic landscape of SCCOHT, we performed whole exome sequencing on 14 tumors and their matched normal tissues and compared their genomic alterations with those in ATRT and ovarian high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). We confirmed that SMARCA4 is the only recurrently mutated gene in SCCOHT, and show that recurrent allelic imbalance is observed exclusively on chromosome 19p, where SMARCA4 resides. By comparing genomic alterations between SCCOHT, ATRT and HGSC, we demonstrate that SCCOHTs, like ATRTs, have a remarkably simple genome and harbor significantly fewer somatic protein-coding mutations and chromosomal alterations than HGSC. Furthermore, a comparison of global DNA methylation profiles of 45 SCCOHTs, 65 ATRTs, and 92 HGSCs demonstrates a strong epigenetic correlation between SCCOHT and ATRT. Our results further confirm that the genomic and epigenomic signatures of SCCOHT are more similar to those of ATRT than HGSC, supporting our previous hypothesis that SCCOHT is a rhabdoid tumor and should be renamed MRT of the ovary. Furthermore, we conclude that SMARCA4 inactivation is the main cause of SCCOHT, and that new distinct therapeutic approaches should be developed to specifically target this devastating tumor.

Abstract
Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant paediatric brain tumour, often inflicting devastating consequences on the developing child. Genomic studies have revealed four distinct molecular subgroups with divergent biology and clinical behaviour. An understanding of the regulatory circuitry governing the transcriptional landscapes of medulloblastoma subgroups, and how this relates to their respective developmental origins, is lacking. Here, using H3K27ac and BRD4 chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) coupled with tissue-matched DNA methylation and transcriptome data, we describe the active cis-regulatory landscape across 28 primary medulloblastoma specimens. Analysis of differentially regulated enhancers and super-enhancers reinforced inter-subgroup heterogeneity and revealed novel, clinically relevant insights into medulloblastoma biology. Computational reconstruction of core regulatory circuitry identified a master set of transcription factors, validated by ChIP-seq, that is responsible for subgroup divergence, and implicates candidate cells of origin for Group 4. Our integrated analysis of enhancer elements in a large series of primary tumour samples reveals insights into cis-regulatory architecture, unrecognized dependencies, and cellular origins.

Abstract
AIM Nuclear α-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked (ATRX) loss and alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) are linked in distinct malignancies. We therefore aimed to determine the nuclear ATRX expression correlated with ALT in a comprehensive series of sarcomas. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 573 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sarcomas comprising 28 entities were investigated for nuclear ATRX expression by immunohistochemistry. Telomere-specific fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) was used to determine the ALT phenotype in 50 sarcomas with complete or heterogeneous ATRX loss. Complete nuclear ATRX loss was detected in 58 of 573 sarcomas, all high-grade, with the highest prevalence in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (38%) and pleomorphic liposarcomas (38%), followed by dedifferentiated liposarcomas (24%), osteosarcomas (21%), leiomyosarcomas (17%), myxofibrosarcomas (11%) and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (4%). Interestingly, a further 20 sarcomas, all belonging to the aforementioned entities with complete ATRX loss, presented with a heterogeneous ATRX expression pattern. ALT was observed in 41 of 42 sarcomas with complete ATRX loss, but only in two of eight sarcomas with heterogeneous expression. CONCLUSION Nuclear ATRX loss, either complete or heterogeneous, is encountered in a considerable number of high-grade sarcomas with non-specific genetic alterations. A causal relationship with ALT might be indicated at least in cases with a complete nuclear ATRX loss.

Abstract
Papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR) is a neuroepithelial brain tumor, which might pose diagnostic difficulties and recurs often. Little is known about underlying molecular alterations. We therefore investigated chromosomal copy number alterations, DNA methylation patterns and mRNA expression profiles in a series of 24 PTPRs. Losses of chromosome 10 were identified in all 13 PTPRs examined. Losses of chromosomes 3 and 22q (54%) as well as gains of chromosomes 8p (62%) and 12 (46%) were also common. DNA methylation profiling using Illumina 450k arrays reliably distinguished PTPR from ependymomas and pineal parenchymal tumors of intermediate differentiation. PTPR could be divided into two subgroups based on methylation pattern, PTPR group 2 showing higher global methylation and a tendency toward shorter progression-free survival (P = 0.06). Genes overexpressed in PTPR as compared with ependymal tumors included SPDEF, known to be expressed in the rodent subcommissural organ. Notable SPDEF protein expression was encountered in 15/19 PTPRs as compared with only 2/36 ependymal tumors, 2/19 choroid plexus tumors and 0/23 samples of other central nervous system (CNS) tumor entities. In conclusion, PTPRs show typical chromosomal alterations as well as distinct DNA methylation and expression profiles, which might serve as useful diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Ependymal tumors across age groups are currently classified and graded solely by histopathology. It is, however, commonly accepted that this classification scheme has limited clinical utility based on its lack of reproducibility in predicting patients' outcome. We aimed at establishing a uniform molecular classification using DNA methylation profiling. Nine molecular subgroups were identified in a large cohort of 500 tumors, 3 in each anatomical compartment of the CNS, spine, posterior fossa, supratentorial. Two supratentorial subgroups are characterized by prototypic fusion genes involving RELA and YAP1, respectively. Regarding clinical associations, the molecular classification proposed herein outperforms the current histopathological classification and thus might serve as a basis for the next World Health Organization classification of CNS tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) is a highly aggressive embryonal CNS tumor, which predominantly affects children under the age of three to four years and is associated with a highly aggressive disease course with reported overall survival times ranging from 5-30 months. As these tumors have often been misdiagnosed as medulloblastoma or CNS-PNETs it was thought that ETMR is a very rare tumor. However, now molecular tools are available to detect ETMR and distinguish them from other brain tumors it has become clear that it is one of the most common brain tumors among infants. Amplification of a miRNA cluster at 19q13.42 and high expression of LIN28A have been identified as molecular hallmarks of ETMR, affecting 95-100% of samples tested and are considered unifying molecular diagnostic markers to detect them and distinguish from other brain tumors. Three histological variants of ETMR are known. These include embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR), ependymoblastoma (EBL), and medulloepithelioma (MEPL). A comprehensive clinical, pathological, and molecular analysis of 97 cases of these fatal brain neoplasms identified uniform molecular signatures in all tumors irrespective of histological patterns, indicating that ETANTR, EBL, and MEPL comprise a single biological entity. In particular, DNA methylation (Illumina 450k arrays) and gene expression data (Affymetrix 133plus2.0 arrays) showed that the three histological variants of ETMR are biologically indistinguishable but together highly distinct from other pediatric brain tumors. In order to better understand the biology of these highly aggressive pediatric CNS malignancies, we performed whole genome DNA sequencing of 15 tumor-normal pairs including 3 recurrences, complemented by (mi)RNA sequencing of tumor RNA. Mutations detected included mutations in TP53, CTNNB1, and mutations affecting the miRNA processing pathway. Chromothripsis was detected in several cases and in all cases affecting chromosome 19q. Finally, as DNA sequencing identified only very few somatic mutations per tumor, we next studied the epigenome of these tumors by performing whole genome bisulfite sequencing. Integrating these high throughput genomic analyses may now lead to alternative treatment strategies for these highly aggressive and therapy-resistant tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
Since it has become evident that histopathological grading of ependymoma according to the WHO classification of CNS tumors is not capable of accurately classifying patients into meaningful strata, a broadly accepted molecular classification scheme with prognostic significance is desperately needed. In recent years, ependymomas were classified into molecular subgroups based on transcriptomic alterations. In tumors localized within the posterior fossa, two distinct biological entities of ependymoma were delineated by several studies (designated posterior fossa A and posterior fossa B), which show striking differences in genetic characteristics and clinical outcome. A similar consensus for supratentorial and spinal ependymoma is lacking.
We studied genome-wide DNA methylation (Illumina HumanMethylation450 (450k) array) in 180 primary ependymal tumors (80 with corresponding gene expression profiling data generated by Affymetrix 133plus2.0 arrays), including ependymomas (posterior fossa, supratentorial, spinal), subependymomas (SE), myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE), pineal parenchymal tumors of intermediate differentiation (PPTID), and papillary tumors of the pineal region (PTPR). We performed hierarchical clustering to identify robust molecular subgroups. Independent gene expression profiling datasets from previously published ependymoma studies (Johnson et al.; Wani et al.; Witt et al.) were used as validation cohorts.
DNA methylation data showed that ependymal brain tumors can be classified into eight molecular subgroups. Notably, MPE, SE, PPTID and PTPR tumors formed robust distinct clusters, as did posterior fossa Group A and Group B ependymomas. Supratentorial ependymomas can be classified into two principle molecular subgroups, one of which displays a dismal prognosis, and comprises predominantly children and infants, and is associated with highly recurrent gene fusion. Notably, a significant number of ependymomas previously classified by histology as WHO Grade II/III look like SE by methylation, and also have extremely good survival.
In summary, using genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome analysis we could decipher robust molecular subgroups of ependymal brain tumors including supratentorial ependymoma. Diagnoses of tumors with challenging histopathological features can now be supported by this technology. Hence, this approach offers the possibility to replace the unambiguous histological grading system that is currently in use with a robust molecular classification that readily distinguishes biologically, genetically, and clinically meaningful subgroups of ependymal brain tumors.

Abstract
Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors recently entered clinical trials for sonic-hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma (SHH-MB). Clinical response is highly variable. To understand the mechanism(s) of primary resistance and identify pathways cooperating with aberrant SHH signaling, we sequenced and profiled a large cohort of SHH-MBs (n = 133). SHH pathway mutations involved PTCH1 (across all age groups), SUFU (infants, including germline), and SMO (adults). Children >3 years old harbored an excess of downstream MYCN and GLI2 amplifications and frequent TP53 mutations, often in the germline, all of which were rare in infants and adults. Functional assays in different SHH-MB xenograft models demonstrated that SHH-MBs harboring a PTCH1 mutation were responsive to SMO inhibition, whereas tumors harboring an SUFU mutation or MYCN amplification were primarily resistant.

Abstract
Plant cell protoplasts derived from leaf tissue of two different tobacco species (Nicotiana tabacum., N. rustica L.) were exposed to short-term (sounding rocket experiments) and long-term (spacelab) microgravity environments in order to study both (electro) cell fusion and cell metabolism during early and later stages of tissue regeneration. The period of exposure to microgravity varied from 10 min (sounding rocket) to 10 d (space shuttle). The process of electro fusion of protoplasts was improved under conditions of microgravity: the time needed to establish close membrane contact between protoplasts (alignment time) was reduced (5 as compared to 15 s under 1 g) and numbers of fusion products between protoplasts of different specific density were increased by a factor of about 10. In addition, viability of fusion products, as shown by the ability to form callus, increased from about 60% to more than 90%. Regenerated fusion products obtained from both sounding-rocket and spacelab experiments showed a wide range of intermediate properties between the two parental plants. This was verified by isozyme analysis and random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR). In order to address potential metabolic responses, more general markers such as the overall energy state (ATP/ADP ratio), the redox charge of the diphosphopyridine nucleotide system (NADH/NAD ratio), and the pool size of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6 bisp), a regulator of the balance between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, were determined. Responses of these parameters were different with regard to short-term and long-term exposure. Shortly after transition to reduced gravitation (sounding rocket) ratios of ATP/ADP exhibited strong fluctuation while the pool size of NAD decreased (indicating an increased NADH/NAD ratio) and that of Fru 2,6 bisp increased. As similar changes can be observed under stress conditions, this response is probably indicative of a metabolic stress compensation. Samples taken for up to 7 d of exposure to microgravity showed the opposite effect. Here, the ratios of ATP/ADP and of NADH/NAD, and the pool size of Fru 2,6 bisp were decreased. We take this an an indication of metabolic relaxation, i.e. decreased metabolic turnover. As rates of protoplast regeneration and cell division were obviously similar to 1-g controls, we conclude that under conditions of microgravity regenerating tobacco mesophyll protoplasts need less metabolic energy for the same effort.
