Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound-generated singlet oxygen induces telomere damage leading to glioma stem cell awakening from quiescence.


ABSTRACT: Cancer stem cells, quiescent and drug resistant, have become a therapeutic target. Unlike high-intensity focused ultrasound directly killing tumor, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a new noninvasive physical device, promotes pluripotent stem cell differentiation and is primarily applied in tissue engineering but rarely in oncotherapy. We explored the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on glioma stem cell (GSC) expulsion from quiescence. Here, we observed that LIPUS led to attenuated expression of GSC biomarkers, promoted GSC escape from G0 quiescence, and significantly weakened the Wnt and Hh pathways. Of note, LIPUS transferred sonomechanical energy into cytochrome c and B5 proteins, which converted oxygen molecules into singlet oxygen, triggering telomere crisis. The in vivo and in vitro results confirmed that LIPUS enhanced the GSC sensitivity to temozolomide. These results demonstrated that LIPUS "waked up" GSCs to improve their sensitivity to chemotherapy, and importantly, we confirmed the direct targeted proteins of LIPUS in GSCs.
