RNA-seq of Glioblastoma stem cells

ABSTRACT: Chromatin accessibility discriminates stem from mature cell populations, enabling the identification of primitive stem-like cells in primary tumors, such as Glioblastoma (GBM) where self-renewing cells driving cancer progression and recurrence are prime targets for therapeutic intervention. We show, using single-cell chromatin accessibility, that primary GBMs harbor a heterogeneous self-renewing population whose diversity is captured in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). In depth characterization of chromatin accessibility in GSCs identifies three GSC states: Reactive, Constructive, and Invasive, each governed by uniquely essential transcription factors and present within GBMs in varying proportions. Orthotopic xenografts reveal that GSC states associate with survival, and identify an invasive GSC signature predictive of low patient survival. Our chromatin-driven characterization of GSC states improves prognostic precision and identifies dependencies to guide combination therapies.

RNA-sequencing analysis in human glioma stem cell

Project description:Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be associated with the presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. To investigate Glioblastomas (GBMs) show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be originated by the glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells. Notch signaling has been shown to be important for maintenance of GSC population both in vitro and in vivo. A recent study showed that NOTCH -triggered oncogenic activity can be due to not only its ability to regulate coding genes but also long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Here, we investigated the molecular effects of lncRNA in GSC, whose expression is induced by Notch signaling. We searched for downregulated lncRNAs in GSCs by treatment of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Notch1 and JAG1 (si-Notch1 and si-JAG1).

Enriching glioma stem cells by intracranial implantation and developing clinically relevant model for therapeutic intervention

Project description:It is becoming better understood that radiation resistance in glioblastomas (GBMs) may be secondary to a self-renewing subpopulation of cells in the bulk tumor that form neurospheres in culture. This population has been referred to as Glioma stem cells (GSCs). One of the limitations regarding the use of GSCs is that these studies require fresh tumor biopsy samples obtained from patients, and can be extremely difficult to culture, propagate, and perform treatment-response assays. This report describes the generation of a self-renewing population of GSCs derived from commercially available U87 cells using NOD-SCID mice as carrier. The tumors were dissociated to obtain GSCs that demonstrate stem-like properties and high degree of chemo and radiation resistance. Pathological analysis of tumors obtained using GSCs exhibit all the histological hallmarks of human GBMs which is quite uncommon in GBM rodent models and hence could serve as a better model for pre-clinical study. We have shown that MGH87GSCs have an enhanced tumorogenicity than parental U87 and about 500 cells are sufficient to form tumors. To understand the transcriptome and accompanied proteome better, we explored the gene expression profiles of MGH87GSC and U87. We have shown that these GSCs are plastic like stem cells and can be directed towards a particular progeny within neural lineage by providing suitable growth factor. Our objective was to understand the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that control the self-renewal phenotype, asymmetric subdivision, chemo and radiation resistance and the role of the GSC niche in regulating the biological properties of GSC. Through this model we anticipate to devise therapeutic strategies to target this sub population of GSCs within GBMs to eradicate treatment resistance and tumor recurrence.

Genomic maps of TUG1 in human glioma stem cell

Project description:Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be originated by the glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. We found TUG1, a large non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is highly expressed in GSCs. TUG1 was reported to interact with PRC2 via its exon 2 and represses its target gene expression in trans. In order to identify the genetic loci enriched with TUG1 in GSC, we performed modified RNA pull-down assay coupled with promoter-microarray analysis using BrU-labeled TUG1.

Competitive binding of E3 ligases TRIM26 and WWP2 controls SOX2 in glioblastoma

Project description:The pluripotency transcription factor SOX2 is essential for the maintenance of glioblastoma stem cells (GSC), which drive tumor growth and treatment resistance.To understand how SOX2 is regulated in GSCs, we utilized a proteomic approach and identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM26 as a direct SOX2-interacting protein. Unexpectedly, we found TRIM26 depletion decreased SOX2 protein levels and increased SOX2 polyubiquitination in patient-derived GSCs, suggesting TRIM26 promotes SOX2 protein stability. Accordingly, TRIM26 knockdown reduced SOX2 transcriptional activity, self-renewal capacity, and in vivo tumorigenicity in multiple GSC lines. Mechanistically, we found TRIM26, via its C-terminal PRYSPRY domain, but independent of its RING domain, stabilizes SOX2 protein by directly inhibiting the interaction of SOX2 with WWP2, which we identify as a bona fide SOX2 E3 ligase in GSCs. Our work identifies E3 ligase competition as a critical mechanism of SOX2 regulation, with functional consequences for GSC identity and maintenance.

Targeting Glioblastoma Stem Cells through Disruption of the Circadian Clock [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Glioblastomas are highly lethal cancers, containing self-renewing glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). Here, we show that GSCs, differentiated glioblastoma cells (DGCs), and normal brain cultures all displayed robust circadian rhythms, yet GSCs alone displayed exquisite dependence on core clock transcription factors, BMAL1 and CLOCK, for optimal cell growth. Downregulation of BMAL1 or CLOCK in GSCs induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed BMAL1 preferentially bound at metabolic genes in GSCs, associated with differences in active chromatin regions compared to NSCs. Targeting BMAL1 or CLOCK attenuated mitochondrial metabolic function and reduced expression of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes. Small molecule agonists of two independent BMAL1::CLOCK negative regulators, the Cryptochromes and REV-ERBs, downregulated stem cell factors and reduced GSC growth. Combination of Cryptochrome and REV-ERB agonists induced synergistic anti-tumor efficacy. Collectively, GSCs coopt circadian regulators beyond canonical circadian circuitry to promote stemness maintenance and metabolism, offering novel therapeutic paradigms.
