Hemangiosarcoma

Hemangiosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from the endothelial cells that line blood vessels.
It is a rare and aggresive form of cancer that commonly affects the spleen, liver, and skin in dogs, but can also occur in other species.
Hemangiosarcoma is characterized by rapid growth, early metastasis, and a poor prognosis.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms and identifying effective treatment strategies are active areas of research for this challenging disease.

The hemangiosarcoma cell lines Frog, Tucker, Dal-4, Joey, and DD-1 (Table 1) were cultured as described previously [23] (link). Veronica and Emma cell lines were developed as described [23] (link) from splenic and a metastatic brain hemangiosarcomas, respectively, both from Golden Retrievers. For VEGFR inhibition, cells were cultured in the presence of small molecules that selectively inhibit VEGFR kinase (VEGF Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor II, N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-[(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)amino]benzamid, hereafter called “Drug 1”; VEGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor III, KRN633, N-(2-Chloro-4-((6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinazolinyl)oxy)phenyl)-N′-propylurea, hereafter called “Drug 2”; or VEGF Receptor Kinase Inhibitor IV, 3-(3-Thienyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, hereafter called “Drug 3”). The half maximal inhibitory concentrations for VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 for Drugs 1, 2, and 3, respectively are 180 and 20, 170 and 160, and 1.9 and 19. Cells (10,000/well) were plated in duplicate in 96-well microtiter plates and allowed to attach for 16 hr prior to addition of inhibitors over a concentration range from 1 pM to 1 µM. Cells were then cultured for 72 hr, and the number of viable cells was determined using the MTS assay (Promega, Madison, WI). Absorption at 490 nm for each well was averaged, and data normalized to % viability where the mean of wells that received no treatment (0 nm) was considered = 1. The results show the means of two independent experiments for each cell line.

Samples used to derive canine hemangiosarcoma cell lines from 10 pet dogs [19] (link), [23] (link), [24] (link) are listed in Table 1. Only two of the dogs whose samples were used for the microarray experiments (Frog and Journey) were related within 5 generations, and they were separated by 3 generations (Frog was Journey's “great aunt”), reducing the likelihood of lineage bias. Cryopreserved cultured cells from the earliest available passages were used for these experiments. Peripheral blood samples collected from healthy dogs or from dogs with cancer prior to the initiation of any therapy (at the time of tumor biopsy) were used as controls. Non-hemangiosarcoma diagnoses included non-Hodgkin lymphoma, melanoma, and osteosarcoma. Blood samples were age and sex-matched to reduce variation. Every sample used for this study was obtained with owner consent through protocols reviewed by appropriate Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees. Samples from healthy pet dogs were obtained as part of routine diagnostic or well-health procedures. Samples from pet dogs with cancer were obtained by the attending veterinarian as part of medically necessary (biopsy) procedures or at the time of necropsy.

Fresh frozen tumor tissues (n = 60) of 44 patients with multiple cartilage tumors (36 patients with Ollier disease and 8 patients with Maffucci syndrome) (Table 1, Supplementary Table 1) were collected from EuroBoNet consortium (http://www.eurobonet.eu) 8 (link) and the Laboratory of Human Molecular Genetics at the de Duve Institute, UCL (Brussels, Belgium). In addition, paraffin embedded tumor tissues (n = 15) from 12 patients were obtained from the files of the Children's Hospital (Boston, USA). Samples were handled according to the ethical guidelines of the host institution. All samples were coded and the ethical guidelines “Code for Proper Secondary Use of Human Tissue in The Netherlands” (Dutch Federation of Medical Scientific Societies) were followed in all procedures. Chondrosarcoma samples were graded according to Evans et al 56 (link). Normal DNA derived from saliva, blood or muscle was available from 12 patients with Ollier disease. Patients' ages were documented at the time of operation. Demographic and survival data were obtained from the host institutions' patient records.
For comparison with other cartilage tumors, we included DNA from solitary enchondromas (n =9), solitary central chondrosarcomas (n=92), central dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas (n=13), periosteal chondrosarcomas (n=3), 37 peripheral cartilaginous tumors [solitary osteochondroma (n = 11), peripheral chondrosarcomas (n=20), multiple osteochondromas (n=6)], as well as 9 chondromyxoid fibromas, 7 chondroblastomas, and 2 osteochondroma-like lesions of metachondromatosis. Matching blood-derived DNA was also available from 24 cases as controls. Additionally, we included DNA from angiosarcomas (n = 14) since patients with Maffucci syndrome have central cartilage tumors combined with vascular tumors. The angiosarcomas, chondromyxoid fibromas and chondroblastomas were analyzed for IDH1 mutations only. Thus, in total we analyzed 261 tumors from 242 patients.

SVR chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) tumors were grown using the gelatin sponge-chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as previously described [28] (link). An isotonic saline sham (N = 4 eggs) or 100 µM propranolol (N = 3 eggs) was added daily directly onto the tumors every two days, and tumors were collected 6 days post implantation. Mouse angiosarcoma tumors were generated by subcutaneous injection of 1×106 SVR cells into the dorsolateral flank of 4 week old female mice as previously described [29] (link). Mice were treated with sham (isotonic saline; N = 15) or propranolol (10 mg/ml; N = 17) via intraperitoneal injections every 2 days. When the sham tumors reached approximately 1 cm in diameter, the tumors were collected. Numerical data presented for all tumor experiments is the average of at least three biological replicates +/− the standard deviation (for the CAM assays) or the standard error of the mean (for the mouse angiosarcoma tumor assays). Statistical significance was determined using Student’s t-test (P<0.05).

Staining was compared among UC, inflammatory non-neoplastic (cystitis), and normal urinary bladder samples. A histologically confirmed canine metastatic hemangiosarcoma served as a positive control for VEGFR2; a canine liposarcoma served as a positive control for KIT; a canine squamous cell carcinoma served as a positive control for PDGFR-β; and a canine mesenchymal neoplasm was used as a positive control for CDK4 (Suppl. Figs. 1–4). A negative control that omitted incubation with the primary antibody (antibody diluent with no antibody) was included for each sample.
Samples were evaluated for urothelial expression of VEGFR2, KIT, PDGFR-β, and CDK4 in an anonymized study by 3 veterinary pathologists, each from a different institution. A qualitative immunohistochemical assessment was performed to evaluate staining intensity. As described previously,32
staining intensity was assessed over the whole sample at 200 × magnification (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = intense). Staining distribution (% urothelial cells affected) was evaluated semi-quantitatively over 10 hpfs at 400 × magnification (0 = no staining, 1 = >0% to <10% positive, 2 = ≥10% to <25% positive, 3 = ≥25% to 50% positive, 4 = ≥50% to <75% positive, 5 = ≥75% positive). To calculate a score for every sample, the average scores were taken and called the standardized score. After averaging the 10 selected fields, a final immunohistochemical score for each sample was calculated by multiplying the intensity (qualitative) standardized score by the staining distribution (semi-quantitative) standardized score, as described previously.3 (link),22 (link)

A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients managed at Asan Medical Center with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma of the scalp. We selected cases that had been amenable for surgical resection and were treated between 2005 and 2021 with tumor located primarily in the scalp. Patients with a distant metastasis at presentation or regional lymph node metastasis were included if surgical resection and reconstruction had been performed for palliative purposes. Patients with nonscalp tumor location, who refused surgical excision, or who were managed after the inclusion period were excluded from the analysis. We received institutional review board approval for this study.
A detailed, comprehensive history was taken from all patients, who also underwent thorough physical examinations, blood testing, and radiological imaging. The diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma in each case was confirmed through a histopathological examination for the following markers: cluster of differentiation (CD) 31, CD34, factor VIII-related antigen, von Willebrand factor II, podoplanin (D2–40), and nuclear protein marker of proliferation (MKi-67 or KI-67). The data collected for each patient included age at the time of diagnosis, gender, history of smoking, comorbid conditions, extent of lymph node involvement, recurrence and metastasis, treatment modality and reconstructive method applied, surgical margin, postoperative complications (if any), information on last follow-up, and time of death.
Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze overall survival, and any differences between patient groups were tested using multivariate analysis and the log rank test to evaluate different factors that may impact locoregional recurrence, metastasis, and overall survival. These variables included tumor size, resection size, satellite lesions at presentation, nodal disease, lymph node dissection, surgical margin status, and mode of therapy (single or combined). Overall survival was defined as the time from diagnosis to death, regardless of the cause. Recurrence was defined as the time from surgical treatment until either local or regional recurrence was documented.

Our bioinformatic workflow was based on a primary quality check with FastQC and MultiQC to ensure read quality was acceptable and transcriptomes were comparable among samples [10 ,11 (link)]. Secondly, reads were mapped on the human genome to identify expressed genes. To determine transcript abundance, read quantification was performed obtaining raw counts. Subsequently, to ensure comparability, raw counts were normalized as counts per million (CPM) and transcripts per million (TPM), which were required for differential gene expression (DGE) and principal component analysis (PCA), respectively.
In detail, STAR was adopted to map paired reads on the reference human genome hg38 [12 (link)]; while duplicates’ removal, sorting, and indexing were performed with Samtools [13 (link)]. Gene expression was quantified and normalized as CPM and TPM, after obtaining raw gene counts with the Python package HTseq-count [14 (link)]. Starting from CPM, differentially expressed genes (q-value < 0.05, FDR-corrected) between either the leiomyosarcoma or osteosarcoma case and the group including angiosarcomas (CS6 and CS7) and intimal sarcomas (CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5) were identified with the R-bioconductor package edgeR [15 (link)]. Using the R package prcomp [16 (link)] instead, TPM were employed to perform PCA, which also included intimal sarcomas (n = 5) and angiosarcomas (n = 2).
Additionally, gene fusion detection and small variant calling combined with variant annotation via Nirvana were performed on BaseSpace, an Illumina webtool (http://euc1.sh.basespace.illumina.com/ accessed on 4 June 2022). For gene-fusion detection, protein-coding and lncRNA genes were included to reduce false positives.
The vcf output files were filtered to include only stop gain/splice donor/splice acceptor/splice region/frameshift indels/inframe deletion/inframe insertion/initiator codon/ATG loss/missense mutations predicted as deleterious or probably damaging by SIFT predictor, with a GnomAD Frequency < 0.01, a QC metric quality ≥ 30, a total read depth > 14, an alt allele depth > 3, and a variant read frequency > 0.15. Finally, only genes belonging to Tier 1 of the Cancer Gene Census list (https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/census accessed on 4 June 2022) were considered for further analysis. Sequencing data of both samples were analyzed using the DRAGEN RNA app (version 3.10.4).
