P4HB and PDIA3 are associated with tumor progression and therapeutic outcome of diffuse gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse gliomas are the most common type of primary brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) such as P4HB and PDIA3 act as molecular chaperones for reconstructing misfolded proteins, and are involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response. The present study focused on the role of P4HB and PDIA3 in diffuse gliomas. Analysis of GEO and HPA data revealed that the expression levels of P4HB and PDIA3 were upregulated in glioma datasets. their increased expression was then validated in 99 glioma specimens compared with 11 non-tumor tissues. High expression of P4HB and PDIA3 was significantly correlated with high Ki-67 and a high frequency of the TP53 mutation. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analyses showed that glioma patients with high P4HB and PDIA3 expression had a poor survival outcome, P4HB and PDIA3 could be independent prognostic biomarkers for diffuse gliomas. In vitro, knockdown of PDIA3 suppressed cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis, and decreased the migration of glioma cells. Furthermore, downregulation of P4HB and PDIA3 may contribute to improve the survival of patients who receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The data suggest that high expression of P4HB and PDIA3 plays an important role in glioma progression, and could predict the survival outcome and therapeutic response of glioma patients. Therefore, protein disulfide isomerases may be explored as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diffuse gliomas.

Project description:Diffuse gliomas with K27M histone mutations (H3K27M glioma) are generally characterized by a fatal prognosis, particularly affecting the pediatric population. Based on the molecular heterogeneity observed in this tumor type, personalized treatment is considered to substantially improve therapeutic options. Therefore, clinical evidence for therapy, guided by comprehensive molecular profiling, is urgently required. In this study, we analyzed feasibility and clinical outcomes in a cohort of 12 H3K27M glioma cases treated at two centers. Patients were subjected to personalized treatment either at primary diagnosis or disease progression and received backbone therapy including focal irradiation. Molecular analyses included whole-exome sequencing of tumor and germline DNA, RNA-sequencing, and transcriptomic profiling. Patients were monitored with regular clinical as well as radiological follow-up. In one case, liquid biopsy of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was used. Analyses could be completed in 83% (10/12) and subsequent personalized treatment for one or more additional pharmacological therapies could be recommended in 90% (9/10). Personalized treatment included inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (3/9), MAPK signaling (2/9), immunotherapy (2/9), receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition (2/9), and retinoic receptor agonist (1/9). The overall response rate within the cohort was 78% (7/9) including one complete remission, three partial responses, and three stable diseases. Sustained responses lasting for 28 to 150 weeks were observed for cases with PIK3CA mutations treated with either miltefosine or everolimus and additional treatment with trametinib/dabrafenib in a case with BRAFV600E mutation. Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment of a case with increased tumor mutational burden (TMB) resulted in complete remission lasting 40 weeks. Median time to progression was 29 weeks. Median overall survival (OS) in the personalized treatment cohort was 16.5 months. Last, we compared OS to a control cohort (n = 9) showing a median OS of 17.5 months. No significant difference between the cohorts could be detected, but long-term survivors (>2 years) were only present in the personalized treatment cohort. Taken together, we present the first evidence of clinical efficacy and an improved patient outcome through a personalized approach at least in selected cases of H3K27M glioma.
