Lipomatous Solitary Fibrous Tumors Harbor Rare NAB2-STAT6 Fusion Variants and Show Up-Regulation of the Gene PPARG, Encoding for a Regulator of Adipocyte Differentiation

Original language description

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) harbor activating NAB2-STAT6 gene fusions. Different variants of the NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion have been associated with distinct clinicopathologic features. Lipomatous SFTs are a morphologic variant of SFTs, characterized by a fat-forming tumor component. Our aim was to evaluate NAB2-STAT6 fusion variants and to further study the molecular genetic features in a cohort of lipomatous SFTs. A hybrid-captureebased next-generation sequencing panel was employed to detect NAB2-STAT6 gene fusions at the RNA level. In addition, the RNA expression levels of 507 genes were evaluated using this panel, and were compared with a control cohort of nonlipomatous SFTs. Notably, 5 of 11 (45%) of lipomatous SFTs in the current series harbored the uncommon NAB2 exon 4-STAT6 exon 4 gene fusion variant, which is observed in only 0.9% to 1.4% of nonlipomatous SFTs. Furthermore, lipomatous SFTs displayed significant differences in gene expression compared with their nonlipomatous counterparts, including up-regulation of the gene peroxisome proliferator activated receptorg (PPARG). Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma is a nuclear receptor regulating adipocyte differentiation, providing a possible explanation for the fat-forming component in lipomatous SFTs. In summary, the current study provides a possible molecular genetic basis for the distinct morphologic features of lipomatous SFTs.
