Project description:Abnormal activation of stemness factors is a crucial signature of cancer stem cells (CSCs), a highly tumorigenic subpopulation in malignant tumors. However, it is unclear whether multi-signaling pathways are activated in CSCs, as like normal stem cells. I would like to report that an inhibitor of differentiation 1 (ID1) activates intracellular multi-signaling involved in proliferation, genesis, and maintenance of glioma stem cells (GSCs) by suppression of Cullin3, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that degrades Cyclin E and components of SHH and WNT signaling. ID1 inhibits BMP-dependent differentiation of GSCs by activation of BMPR2-targeting miR17/20a. ID1HIGH-Cullin3LOW signature correlates with a poor prognosis of GBM patients with a significant association to gene signatures enriched in EGF, WNT, SHH, and BMP signaling. Combinational inhibition of GSC intracellular multi-signaling network increases tumor-bearing mice survival. These results provide insights on molecular and cellular basis of GSC biology, and also suggest necessity of multi-signaling inhibition for GSCs therapy.

These results provide insights on molecular and cellular basis of GSC biology, and also suggest necessity of multi-signaling inhibition for GSCs therapy. Two human primary glioma stem cells (GSCs) such as GSC2 and GSC8 were isolated from two individual primary human glioma specimens. The GSCs were directly transfected with pSuper-GFP-ID1-shRNA and pSuper-GFP-Scrambled-shRNA using FuGENE 6 reagent (Roche). The RNA extraction in these cells was used to analyze gene expression.

Project description:BackgroundCD44 is a molecular marker associated with molecular subtype and treatment resistance in glioma. More effective therapies will result from approaches aimed at targeting the CD44-high gliomas.MethodsProtein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7) mRNA expression was analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas glioblastoma dataset. PTK7 expression was depleted through lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA knockdown. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling was used to evaluate cell apoptosis following PTK7 knockdown. Gene expression analysis was performed on Affymetrix microarray. A nude mice orthotopic tumor model was used to evaluate the in vivo effect of PTK7 depletion.ResultsPTK7 is highly expressed in CD44-high glioblastoma and predicts unfavorable prognosis. PTK7 knockdown attenuated cell proliferation, impaired tumorigenic potential, and induced apoptosis in CD44-high glioma cell lines. Gene expression analysis identified inhibitor of DNA Binding 1 (Id1) gene as a potential downstream effector for PTK7. Overexpression of Id1 mostly restored the cell proliferation and colony formation attenuated by PTK7 depletion. PTK7 enhanced anchorage-independent growth in normal human astrocytes, which was attenuated by Id1 knockdown. Furthermore, PTK7 regulated Id1 expression through modulating TGF-?/Smad signaling, while pharmacological inhibition on TGF-?/Smad signaling or PTK7/Id1 depletion attenuated TGF-?-stimulated cell proliferation. PTK7 depletion consistently reduced Id1 expression, suppressed tumor growth, and induced apoptosis in a murine orthotopic tumor model, which could be translated into prolonged survival in tumor-bearing mice.ConclusionsPTK7 regulates Id1 expression in CD44-high glioma cell lines. Targeting PTK7 could be an effective strategy for treating glioma with high CD44 expression.

Project description:TWIST1 plays a crucial role in dentinogenesis, and its activity depends on both a dimerization partner selection and phosphorylation. Other factors, like Id proteins, can affect the availability of dimerization partners for TWIST1, subsequently leading to diverse biological outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an impact of Id1 expression on differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). The altered expression of Id1 was achieved by transfection of human DPSCs with lentiviral vectors either driving an entire sequence of Id1, hence leading to Id1 overexpression, or carrying the Id1 silencing sequence. We observed that both overexpression and silencing of Id1 modulated human DPSC differentiation. Id1 overexpression resulted in a prevailing formation of TWIST1 homodimer and increased expression of genes encoding dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein 1, which confirm an enhanced odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Concurrently, Id1 silencing produced an opposite effect, slowing DPSC differentiation. These results highlight Id1 as an important modulator of molecular events during DPSC commitment and differentiation, which should be considered in dental research on tissue engineering. Moreover, we assume that the balance between TWIST1 dimerization forms in DPSCs might function in a cell-type-specific manner.

Project description:The overall survival for patients with primary glioblastoma is very poor. Glioblastoma contains a subpopulation of glioma stem cells (GSC) that are responsible for tumour initiation, treatment resistance and recurrence. PPAR? is a transcription factor involved in the control of lipid, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. We have recently shown that PPAR? gene and protein expression is increased in glioblastoma and has independent clinical prognostic significance in multivariate analyses. In this work, we report that PPAR? is overexpressed in GSC compared to foetal neural stem cells. To investigate the role of PPAR? in GSC, we knocked down its expression using lentiviral transduction with short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Transduced GSC were tagged with luciferase and stereotactically xenografted into the striatum of NOD-SCID mice. Bioluminescent and magnetic resonance imaging showed that knockdown (KD) of PPAR? reduced the tumourigenicity of GSC in vivo. PPAR?-expressing control GSC xenografts formed invasive histological phenocopies of human glioblastoma, whereas PPAR? KD GSC xenografts failed to establish viable intracranial tumours. PPAR? KD GSC showed significantly reduced proliferative capacity and clonogenic potential in vitro with an increase in cellular senescence. In addition, PPAR? KD resulted in significant downregulation of the stem cell factors c-Myc, nestin and SOX2. This was accompanied by downregulation of the PPAR?-target genes and key regulators of fatty acid oxygenation ACOX1 and CPT1A, with no compensatory increase in glycolytic flux. These data establish the aberrant overexpression of PPAR? in GSC and demonstrate that this expression functions as an important regulator of tumourigenesis, linking self-renewal and the malignant phenotype in this aggressive cancer stem cell subpopulation. We conclude that targeting GSC PPAR? expression may be a therapeutically beneficial strategy with translational potential as an adjuvant treatment. © 2018 The Authors.

Project description:BackgroundCD44 is a molecular marker associated with cancer stem cell populations and treatment resistance in glioma. More effective therapies will result from approaches aimed at targeting glioma cells high in CD44.MethodsGlioma-initiating cell lines were derived from fresh surgical glioblastoma samples. Expression of tissue transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) was attenuated through lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA knockdown. MTT assay [(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] was used to evaluate the growth inhibition induced by TGM2 inhibitor. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling was used to evaluate cell apoptosis following TGM2 inhibition. CD44(+) glioma stem cells were sorted by flow cytometry. A nude mice orthotopic xenograft model was used to evaluate the in vivo effect of TGM2 inhibitor.ResultsTGM2 was highly expressed in CD44-high glioblastoma tissues and tumor-derived glioma-initiating cell lines. TGM2 knockdown impaired cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in CD44-high glioma-initiating cell lines. Further studies indicated that expression of inhibitor of DNA binding 1 protein (ID1) is regulated by TGM2 and might be an important mediator for TGM2-regulated cell proliferation in CD44-high glioma-initiating cell lines. TGM2 inhibitor reduces ID1 expression, suppresses cell proliferation, and induces apoptosis in CD44-high glioma-initiating cell lines. Furthermore, TGM2 is highly expressed in CD44(+) glioma stem cells, while pharmacological inhibition of TGM2 activity preferentially eliminates CD44(+) glioma stem cells. Consistently, TGM2 inhibitor treatment reduced ID1 expression and induced apoptosis in our orthotopic mice xenograft model, which can be translated into prolonged median survival in tumor-bearing mice.ConclusionsTGM2 regulates ID1 expression in glioma-initiating cell lines high in CD44. Targeting TGM2 could be an effective strategy to treat gliomas with high CD44 expression.

Project description:Glioblastoma, the most common and malignant brain tumor, harbors stem-like cells that self-renew and propagate upon serial transplantation. Although they share functional, morphological and developmental similarities to adult brain neural stem cells, stem cell characteristic pathways contributing to glioblastoma stem-like cells have not been consistently determined. Towards this goal we have provided an internally coherent molecular reference that compares adult neural and glioblastoma stem cells cultivated under identical conditions. Genes dysregulated between these populations are correlated with clinical outcome in glioblastoma, and are highly expressed in embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. The resource yields a key role for Wnt and a core group of dysregulated pathways. We have verified the contribution to proliferation and sphere formation of Wnt- differentially activated genes through the Wnt inhibitor SFRP1. The glioblastoma and neural stem cell gene-expression and pathway comparative resource provides a powerful new tool for the identification of potential therapeutic targets. 14 samples was analyzed; 5 individual samples of adult neural stem cells and 9 individual samples of glioma stem cells

Project description:Chemo-resistance hinders the therapeutic efficacy of temozolomide (TMZ) in treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Recurrence of GBM even after combination of maximal tumor resection, concurrent radio-chemotherapy, and systemic TMZ applocation is inevitable and attributed to the high therapeutic resistance of glioma stem cells (GSCs), which can survive, evolve, and initiate tumor tissue remodeling, the underlying mechanisms of GSCs chemo-resistance, have not been fully elucidated up-to-now. Emerging evidence showed that METTL3-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification contributed to the self-renew and radio-resistance in GSCs, however, its role on maintenance of TMZ resistance of GSCs has not been clarified and need further investigations. We found that the cell viability and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of GSCs against TMZ significantly decreased after GSCs underwent serum-induced differentiation to adherent growth of tumor cells. Besides, METTL3 expression and total m6A modification declined dramatically in consistence with GSCs differentiation. Knockdown of METTL3 weakened self-renew, proliferation and TMZ IC50 of GSCs, whereas enhanced TMZ induced γH2AX level, indicating upregulation of double-strand DNA damage. We also found that mRNA stability of two critical DNA repair genes (MGMT and APNG) was regulated by METTL3-mediated m6A modification. In conclusion, we speculated that METTL3-mediated m6A modification of MGMT and APNG mRNAs played crucial roles on suppression of TMZ sensitivity of GSCs, which suggest a potential new therapeutic target of METTL3 against GBM.

Project description:Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long non-coding RNA, promotes oncogenesis in various tumors, including human gliomas. Herein, we studied the expression and function of NEAT1 in glioma stem cells (GSCs). Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that NEAT1 was upregulated in GSCs. NEAT1 knockdown inhibited GSC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted GSC apoptosis. A potential binding region between NEAT1 and microRNA let-7e was confirmed by dual-luciferase assays. Upregulation of NEAT1 reduced the expression of let-7e, and there was reciprocal repression between NEAT1 and let-7e in an Argonaute 2-dependent manner. Let-7e expression was lower expression in glioblastoma tissues and GSCs than in normal brain tissues and cells. Restoration of let-7e suppressed tumor function by inhibiting proliferation, migration and invasion while promoting apoptosis in GSCs. NEAT1 knockdown and let-7e overexpression both reduced NRAS protein expression. NRAS was identified as a direct target of let-7e and promoted oncogenesis in GSCs. As NEAT1 promoted oncogenesis by downregulating let-7e expression, both of these genes could be considered for application in glioma therapy.

Project description:DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-1 (ID1) serves an essential role in tumor progression, and the self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. However, the effect of ID1 on the stemness and cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties of gastric adenocarcinoma cells remains to be elucidated. In the present study, effective ID1 knockdown was achieved in gastric cancer (GC) cells using small interfering RNA, and the self-renewal ability and cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity of GC cells was subsequently examined. ID1 knockdown in the MKN-28 and MGC-803 cell lines was demonstrated to significantly suppress colony formation (P=0.005 in MKN-28 and P=0.001 in MGC-803), tumor spheroid formation (P=0.021 in MKN-28 and P=0.037 in MGC-803), cell proliferation (P=0.028 in MKN-28 and P=0.001 in MGC-803) and migration (P=0.002 in MKN-28 and P=0.015 in MGC-803). To the best of our knowledge, the present study revealed for the first time that ID1 knockdown suppresses the expression of the key CSC-associated factors Nanog and octamer-binding protein 4 (Oct-4). It was further demonstrated that ID1 knockdown sensitized GC cells to DDP. In conclusion, knockdown of ID1 attenuates the stem cell like-properties of self-renewal in normal GC cells, potentially through the targeting of Nanog and Oct-4, and subsequently decreases cell proliferation and resistance to DDP. The results of the present study suggest that ID1 functions as an oncogene in GC and regulates the stem cell like-properties of gastric cancer cells by targeting Nanog and Oct-4.
