BMP4 and temozolomide synergize in the majority of patient derived glioblastoma cultures

ABSTRACT: The poor prognosis of patients with glioblastoma is partly due to resistance to standard treatment, which combines chemoradiation using temozolomide (TMZ). The concept of cancer stem cells provided new insight into tumor resistance and management, and isolated Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) which contribute to this therapy resistance. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a differentiation factor that stimulates astroglial differentiation of such GSCs, thereby reducing their self-renewal. Exposing GSCs to BMP4 could therefore sensitize them to chemotherapy with TMZ, but previous studies with various treatment paradigms have produced contradictory results in this matter. Therefore, we re-defined the optimal treatment paradigm for the combination of TMZ and BMP4 and subsequently re-assessed the inter-tumoral variability in response to co-treatment with TMZ+BMP4 in vitro. First, the simultaneous treatment was found more effective than sequential therapy. Second, after application of our optimized treatment protocol, 70% of a total of 20 patient-derived glioblastoma cultures showed synergy when the treatments were combined. The synergistic effect was a result of increased cellular apoptosis and not of decreased proliferation. Comparative RNA-sequencing suggested that combination treatment results in decreased MAPK signaling. We conclude that addition of BMP4 to standard therapy with TMZ could enlarge the group of patients with good therapeutic response.

EGFR/FOXO3a/BIM signalling pathway determines chemosensitivity of BMP4-differentiated glioma stem cells to temozolomide

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that glioma stem cells (GSCs), rare cells characterised by pluripotency and self-renewal, are responsible for glioblastoma (GBM) propagation, recurrence and resistance to therapy. Differentiation with bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) is considered to be a promising approach to eliminate GSCs and sensitise glioma to chemotherapeutics. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene alterations are detected in more than a half of GBMs, however, the role of EGFR in chemoresistance of glioma stem cells remain elusive. Here, we investigated whether EGFR signalling affects BMP4-induced differentiation of GSCs and their response to an alkylating drug temozolomide (TMZ). We show that BMP4 triggers Smad signalling cascade in glioma stem cells independently of the EGFR level. BMP4 down-regulated levels of pluripotency markers (SOX2 and OLIG2) with the concomitant induction of astrocytic (GFAP) and neuronal (b-Tubulin III) markers. However, significant differences in chemotherapy outcomes were observed in glioma stem cells with different EGFR levels. BMP4-induced differentiation did not enhance sensitivity to TMZ in EGFRlow GSCs, in contrast to EGFRhigh GSCs, which were undergoing apoptosis. We identified differences in cell cycle regulation by analyses of cell cycle phase distribution and cell-cycle-related proteins. In cells with lower EGFR expression BMP4 triggered the G1 cell cycle arrest, not detected in EGFRhigh cells. RNA-seq profiles further highlighted transcriptomic alternations and distinct processes characterizing EGFR-dependent responses in course of BMP4-induced differentiation. We identified AKT/FOXO3a axis controlling of BIM (the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein) as operating only in EGFRhigh BMP4-differentiated and TMZ-treated cells.

Microarray analysis of differentiation of human glioblastoma stem cells

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most devastating cancers and presents unique challenges to therapy due to its aggressive behaviour. Cancer stem cells have been described to be the only cell population with tumorogenic capacity in glioblastoma. Therefore, effective therapeutic strategies targeting these cells may be beneficial. We have established different cultures of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) derived from surgical specimens and found that, after induction of differentiation, NFκB was activated, which allows intermediate tumor precursor cells to remain cycling. We also showed that blockade of NFκB signaling in differentiating GSCs by different genetic strategies or treatment with small molecule inhibitors, promoted replication arrest, progression to a mature phenotype, mainly neuronal cells, and senescence. This effect was partly mediated by downregulation of the NFκB target gene cyclin D1. Furthermore, intravenous treatment of immunodeficient mice bearing human GSC-derived tumors with a novel small-molecule inhibitor of the NFκB pathway induced senescence of tumor cells but no ultraestructural alterations of the brain parenchymal cells were detected. These findings reveal that activation of NFκB may keep differentiating GSCs from acquiring a mature postmitotic phenotype, thus allowing cell proliferation, and support the rationale for therapeutic strategies aimed at promoting premature senescence in GSCs undergoing differentiation.

Rational targeting of dynamic tumor subclones in relapsing human glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma therapy relies on the alkylating drug temozolomide (TMZ) administered to irradiated patients post-neurosurgery, which increases overall survival but cannot prevent fatal disease relapse. Using clinical samples and glioblastoma models, we here identify TMZ-driven enrichment of ALDH1A1+ tumor subclones acquiring AKT-dependent drug resistance en route to relapse. We demonstrate that this recurrent phenotype switch is predictable and can be countered by a sequential rather than simultaneous combinatorial treatment approach.

Human glioma stem cell GS5: Control vs. ZNF117 knockout

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a deadly disease without effective treatment. Because glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) contribute to tumor resistance and recurrence, improved treatment of GBM can be achieved by eliminating GSCs through inducing their differentiation. Prior efforts have been focused on studying GSC differentiation towards the astroglial lineage. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying ZNF117 knockout and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.

Multi-omics Analyses Reveal Mitochondrial Dysfunction Con-tributing to Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma Cells

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor with poor prognosis. Temozolomide (TMZ) is the standard chemotherapy for glioblastoma treatment, but TMZ resistance significantly compromises its efficacy. In the present study, we generated a TMZ-resistant cell line and identified that mitochondrial dysfunction was a novel factor contrib-uting to TMZ resistance though multi-omics analyses and energy metabolism analysis. Further-more, we found that rotenone treatment induced TMZ resistance to a certain level in glioblastoma cells. Notably, we further demonstrated that elevated Ca2+ levels and JNK–STAT3 pathway activa-tion contributed to TMZ resistance and that inhibiting JNK or STAT3 increases susceptibility to TMZ. Taken together, our results indicate that co-administering TMZ with a JNK or STAT3 inhibi-tor holds promise as a potentially effective treatment for glioblastoma.

POSTN secreted from GSCs promotes GSC self-renewal and tumor growth via activation of the αVβ3/PI3K/AKT/β-catenin/FOSL1 pathway [GSCs_RNA-seq]

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), classified as a grade 4 glioma, is the most prevalent intrinsic malignancy of the central nervous system. Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) are small populations of GBM cells with self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capabilities and are considered responsible for the tumorigenesis and development of GBM. GSCs also exhibit radiation resistance, chemoresistance, and angiogenic and invasive properties, which are correlated with poor outcomes in GBM patients. Therefore, targeting GSCs constitutes a promising approach for treating GBM patients. Our findings revealed that POSTN secreted from GSCs promotes GSC self-renewal and tumor growth via activation of the αVβ3/PI3K/AKT/β-catenin/FOSL1 pathway.

Calcitriol promotes differentiation of glioma stem-like cells and increases their susceptibility to temozolomide

Project description:Cancer cells with a stem-like phenotype are commonly described in glioblastoma, the most common primary adult brain cancer, that are thought to be highly tumorigenic. This phenotype comprimes high self renewal capacity and resistance against chemotherapy and radiation therapy, thereby promoting tumor progression and disease relapse. Here we show for the first time that calcitriol, the hormonally active form of the “sun hormone” vitamin D3, effectively suppresses stemness properties in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs), supporting the hypothesis that cal-citriol sensitizes them to additional chemotherapy. Indeed, a physiologically relevant organotypic brain slice model was used to monitor tumor growth of GSCs and the effectiveness of combined treatment with temozolomide, the current standard-of-care, and calcitriol was proven. These findings indicate that further research on applying calcitriol, a well known and safe drug, as a potential adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma is both justified and necessary.
