- W2802539836 abstract "SOX2 has gained considerable interest as a pluripotency inducing gene. Co-transfection of SOX2 together with NANOG, KLF4 and c-MYC into adult fibroblasts was able to generate pluripotent stem cells. SOX2 has been reported to be expressed in synovial sarcoma, a tumor being characterized by the SS18-SSX gene fusion forming part of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex that affects histone methylation. The role of SOX2 in this tumor type as well as other soft tissue tumor entities however is still poorly characterized. We analyzed SOX2 protein expression in soft tissue tumors. Alongside we tested Histone H3 expression (H3K27me3) in SOX2 positive cases to investigate this epigenetic mark and its correlation with the SOX2 status and clinicopathological parameters.In total, 60 samples of synovial sarcomas from the reference center for soft tissue tumors at the institute of pathology of the Jena University hospital were included into the study along with 343 other tissue tumors. Protein analysis was done by immunohistochemistry of tissue microarrays. All synovial sarcoma cases were confirmed by molecular testing using SS18 FISH break apart probes.SOX2 reactivity was detectable in 35 synovial sarcoma cases (58.3%) while 25 (41.7%) were negative. Only 13 cases of the other 343 soft tissue tumors, varying from nodular fasciitis to undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, revealed a SOX2 expression, 12 out of these were undifferentiated high grade sarcoma. There was no obvious correlation with the clinicopathological data. H3K27me3 immunohistochemistry of the synovial sarcoma cases revealed a high statistically significant correlation between SOX2 and H3K27me3 expression (p < 0,0005, Chi square test). Similar to SOX2, there was no correlation between H3K27me3 expression and tumor grade. Six SOX2 positive synovial sarcoma cases were analyzed by FISH using a SOX2/CEN3 dual color FISH probe. None of these cases revealed an amplification of the SOX2 gene.The data confirms previous studies reporting SOX2 and H3K27me3 expression in synovial sarcoma and reveals that both biomarkers are related to each other. It strengthens the notion that the tumor type is driven by epigenetic processes similar to those that are operating in pluripotent stem cells. The relevance of these parameters in the pathway pathology of synovial sarcoma, i.e. the timing and dosing of SOX2 and H3K27me3 expression initiated by the SS18-SSX driver mutation together with the interplay of these events with other signaling pathways, cellular mechanisms and additional mutations in tumor progression, will require further studies." @default.
