Potential significance of such novel programming may explain that, although genes involved in fusions are usually excellent potential targets for therapeutic intervention(11), and despite the identification of ASPS >70yrs ago, ASPS currently remains a high-risk disease with limited treatment options(7). | Potential significance of such novel programming may explain that, although genes involved in fusions are usually excellent potential targets for therapeutic intervention(11), and despite the identification of ASPS >70yrs ago, ASPS currently remains a high-risk disease with limited treatment options(7). | ||
Although not directly targetable itself, the fusion mechanism controls essential characteristics such as upregulating insulation receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2) expression resulting in PIK3/AKT signaling activation(12). IRS-2 and PIK3/mTOR have been strategically identified as potentially promising novel transcriptional targets(12). However, the ASPSCR1::TFE3 control on the tumorigenic landscape has also been identified as responsive to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs)(12). This led to the FDA approval of the ICI, Atezolizumab, that blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, for targeted therapy in ASPS(7). | Although not directly targetable itself, the fusion mechanism controls essential characteristics such as upregulating insulation receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2) expression resulting in PIK3/AKT signaling activation(12).

ASPS is extremely rare (<1% of sarcomas) with a paucity of publications especially involving karyotypes. A CMA/SNP microarray of a single ASPS case demonstrated 46.9Mb gain Xp22.3-p11.23 and 1.0Mb loss of 17q25.2-q25.3, consistent with der(17)t(X;17), together with whole chromosome gain 12 and loss of heterozygosity of whole chromosome 21. doi.org/101016/j.cancergen.2022.10.11.

==Epigenomic Alterations== | ==Epigenomic Alterations== | ||
The ''ASPSCR1::TFE3'' fusion significantly alters the epigenome through a variety of mechanisms and effects including: | |||
* binding and modulating super enhancers (SEs) crucial in gene regulation such as enhancer loops(3) | |||
* along with VCP/p97 co-factors organizes chromatin and interacts with promoters and enhancers(3) | |||
* directly activates gene expression related to vascular networks (angiogenesis), cell cycle, especially driving Cyclin D1 (cell proliferation), mitochondrial biogenesis and lipid metabolism(3)(8)(10) | |||
==Genes and Main Pathways Involved== | ==Genes and Main Pathways Involved== | ||
Although ''TFE3'' fusions (''HNRNPH3, PRCC, DVL2'') have been described in ASPS and these genes regulate gene expression and cell proliferation, currently ''ASPSCR1::TFE3'' is the definitive rearrangement driving unique transcriptional and metabolic processes. | |||

==Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods== | ==Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods== | ||
'''1. Fusion testing:''' | |||
* Targeted sequencing using RT-PCR or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) panels | |||
* Whole Genome RNA sequencing | |||
'''2. Fluorescent ''in-situ'' hybridization (FISH):''' | |||
* Dual-color break-apart probes for ''ASPSCR1'' and ''TFE3'' will identify the rearrangement in ASPS. Customized probes can identify ''PRCC'', ''HNRNPH3'' and ''DVL2'' | |||
* Dual-color fusion probes for ''ASPSCR1'', ''TFE3'' and ''PRC''C can confirm the specific fusions. Customized probes can confirm ''HNRNPH3'' and ''DVL2'' fusions | |||
'''3. Karyotyping:''' | |||
* Can identify the der(17)t(X;17) rearrangement | |||
* Can identify the translocations involving ''HNRNPH3'' (X;10), ''PRCC'' t(X;1) and ''DVL2'' t(X;17) | |||
Although ''ASPSCR1::TFE3'' is the definitive rearrangement, relying solely on ''ASPSCR1'' testing, if negative, in an appropriate morphological and clinical setting could potentially miss an ASPS diagnosis. | |||
==Familial Forms== | ==Familial Forms== | ||
* None known associated with fusions. | |||
* Individual genes, if mutated, may be associated with: | |||
** ''ASPSCR1'': none | |||
** ''TFE3'': ''TFE3''-Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder (TFE3-AND), | |||
** ''HNRNPH3'': Specifically none, but hnRNP family linked to rare neurodevelopmental disorders | |||
** ''PRCC'': Hereditary Papillary RCC (HPRC), Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC), | |||
** ''DVL2'': Robinow syndrome | |||
==Additional Information== | ==Additional Information== | ||
* Although several drugs such as Sunitinib and Palbociclib are discussed in the literature, there is currently only one FDA approved drug Atezolizumab, a PD-L1 antibody for systemic administration in adult and children >2 years(7). | |||
* Recent studies are revealing mechanisms, pathways and programs by which ''ASPSCR1::TFE3'' in ASPS controls tumorigenesis and identify therapeutic targeted strategies(3)(6)(16). | |||
* The close overlap of ''ASPSCR1::TFE3'' fusion in diverse cancers (sarcoma vs carcinoma), ASPS and tRCC, is further highlighted by other genes, namely ''PRCC'' and ''DVL2''. in fusions with TFE3 implicated in both tumor types. | |||
* A minority of ASPS cases have been reported with a purportedly balanced t(X;17). Of significance is the distinguishing feature of ASPS being unbalanced vs tRCC being balanced, as a feature of diagnosis. There is currently no evidence of karyotypic, FISH and/or RNA sequencing that confirms a balanced rearrangement in clinically established ASPS. | |||
