    Abstract Visceral sarcomas are a rare malignant subgroup of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs). STSs, accounting for 1% of all adult tumors, are derived from mesenchymal tissues and exhibit a wide heterogeneity. Their rarity and the high number of histotypes hinder the understanding of tumor development mechanisms and negatively influence clinical outcomes and treatment approaches. Although some STSs (~20%) have identifiable genetic markers, as specific mutations or translocations, most are characterized by complex genomic profiles. Thus, identification of new therapeutic targets and development of personalized therapies are urgent clinical needs. Although cell lines are useful for preclinical investigations, more reliable preclinical models are required to develop and test new potential therapies. Here, we provide an overview of the available in vitro and in vivo models of visceral sarcomas, whose gene signatures are still not well characterized, to highlight current challenges and provide insights for future studies.

    Abstract Loss of function of the succinate dehydrogenase complex characterizes 20–40% of all KIT/PDGFRA-negative GIST. Approximately half of SDH-deficient GIST patients lack SDHx mutations and are caused by a hypermethylation of the SDHC promoter, which causes the repression of SDHC transcription and depletion of SDHC protein levels through a mechanism described as epimutation. The remaining 50% of SDH-deficient GISTs have mutations in one of the SDH subunits and SDHA mutations are the most common (30%), with consequent loss of SDHA and SDHB protein expression immunohistochemically. SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD mutations in GIST occur in only 20–30% of cases and most of these SDH mutations are germline. More recently, germline mutations in SDHA have also been described in several patients with loss of function of the SDH complex. SDHA-mutant patients usually carry two mutational events at the SDHA locus, either the loss of the wild type allele or a second somatic event in compound heterozygosis. This review provides an overview of all data in the literature regarding SDHA-mutated GIST, especially focusing on the prevalence of germline mutations in SDH-deficient GIST populations who harbor SDHA somatic mutations, and offers a view towards understanding the importance of genetic counselling for SDHA-variant carriers and relatives.

    Abstract Gaucher Disease (GD), the most common lysosomal disorder, arises from mutations in the GBA1 gene and is characterized by a wide spectrum of phenotypes, ranging from mild hematological and visceral involvement to severe neurological disease. Neuronopathic patients display dramatic neuronal loss and increased neuroinflammation, whose molecular basis are still unclear. Using a combination of Drosophila dGBA1b loss-of-function models and GD patient-derived iPSCs differentiated towards neuronal precursors and mature neurons we showed that different GD- tissues and neuronal cells display an impairment of growth mechanisms with an increased cell death and reduced proliferation. These phenotypes are coupled with the downregulation of several Hippo transcriptional targets, mainly involved in cells and tissue growth, and YAP exclusion from nuclei. Interestingly, Hippo knock-down in the GBA-KO flies rescues the proliferative defect, suggesting that targeting the Hippo pathway can be a promising therapeutic approach to neuronopathic GD.

    Abstract The majority of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) carry a sensitive primary KIT mutation, but approximately 5% to 10% of cases harbor activating mutations of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRA), mainly involving the A-loop encoded by exon 18 (~5%), or more rarely the JM domain, encoded by exon 12 (~1%), or the ATP binding domain encoded by exon 14 (<1%). The most frequent mutation is the substitution at position 842 in the A-loop of an aspartic acid (D) with a valine (V) in exon 18, widely recognized as D842V. This mutation, as well known, provides primary resistance to imatinib and sunitinib. Thus, until few years ago, no active drugs were available for this subtype of GIST. Conversely, recent years have witnessed the development of a new specific inhibitor-avapritinib-that has been studied in in vitro and clinical setting with promising results. In light of this primary resistance to conventional therapies, the biological background of D842V-mutant GIST has been deeply investigated to better understand what features characterize this peculiar subset of GIST, and some promising insights have emerged. Hereinafter, we present a comprehensive overview on the clinical features and the molecular background of this rare subtype of GIST.
