Dynamic proteomic overview of glioblastoma cells (A172) exposed to perillyl alcohol.

ABSTRACT: Perillyl alcohol (POH) is a naturally occurring terpene and a promising chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma multiform; yet, little is known about its molecular effects. Here we present results of a semi-quantitative proteomic analysis of A172 cells exposed to POH for different time-periods (1', 10', 30', 60', 4h, and 24h). The analysis identified more than 4000 proteins; which were clustered using PatternLab for proteomics and then linked to Ras signaling, tissue homeostasis, induction of apoptosis, metallopeptidase activity, and ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Our results make available one of the most complete protein repositories for the A172. Moreover, we detected the phosphorylation of GSK3beta (Glycogen synthase kinase) and the inhibition of ERK's (extracellular signal regulated kinase) phosphorylation after 10', which suggests a new mechanism of POH's activation for apoptosis.

Project description:BackgroundPolymorphisms in MTHFR gene influence risk and overall survival of patients with brain tumor. Global genomic DNA (gDNA) methylation profile from tumor tissues is replicated in peripheral leukocytes. This study aimed to draw a correlation between rs1801133 MTHFR variants, gDNA methylation and overall survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) under perillyl alcohol (POH) treatment.MethodsgDNA from whole blood was extracted using a commercially available kit (Axygen) and quantified by spectrophotometry. Global gDNA methylation was determined by ELISA and rs1801133 polymorphism by PCR-RFLP. Statistical analysis of gDNA methylation profile and rs1801133 variants included Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman point-biserial correlation tests (SPSS and Graphpad Prism packages; significant results for effect size higher than 0.4). Prognostic value of gDNA methylation and rs1801133 variants considered survival profiles at 25 weeks of POH treatment, having the date of protocol adhesion as starting count and death as the final event.ResultsMost rGBM patients showed global gDNA hypomethylation (median = 31.7%) and a significant, moderate and negative correlation between TT genotype and gDNA hypomethylation (median = 13.35%; rho = - 0.520; p = 0.003) compared to CC variant (median = 32.10%), which was not observed for CT variant (median = 33.34%; rho = - 0.289; p = 0.06). gDNA hypermethylated phenotype (median = 131.90%) exhibited significant, moderate and negative correlations between TT genotype (median = 112.02%) and gDNA hypermethylation levels when compared to CC (median = 132.45%; rho = - 0,450; p = 0.04) or CT (median = 137.80%; rho = - 0.518; p = 0.023) variants. TT variant of rs1801133 significantly decreased gDNA methylation levels for both patient groups, when compared to CC (d values: hypomethylated = 1.189; hypermethylated = 0.979) or CT (d values: hypomethylated = 0.597; hypermethylated = 1.167) variants. Positive prognostic for rGBM patients may be assigned to gDNA hypermethylation for survivors above 25 weeks of treatment (median = 88 weeks); and TT variant of rs1801133 regardless POH treatment length.ConclusionrGBM patients under POH-based therapy harboring hypermethylated phenotype and TT variant for rs1801133 had longer survival. Intranasal POH therapy mitigates detrimental effects of gDNA hypomethylation and improved survival of patients with rGBM harboring TT mutant variant for MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism.Trial registrationCONEP -9681- 25,000.009267 / 2004.
