Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and vascularized malignant brain tumor. Anti-VEGF therapy is widely used for the treatment of GBM, however it has shown only minor impact on patient survival. Thus, more precise molecular mechanisms for glioma angiogenesis are needed for the advance in the treatment of GBM. Here, we investigated gene expression profile of brain endothelial cells and glioma endothelial cells using RNA sequencing to validated special molecular features of glioma endothelial cells.

Project description:<p>We used massively parallel, paired-end sequencing of expressed transcripts (RNA-seq) to detect novel gene fusions in short-term cultures of glioma stem-like cells freshly isolated from nine patients carrying primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The culture of primary GBM tumors under serum-free conditions selects cells that retain phenotypes and genotypes closely mirroring primary tumor profiles as compared to serum-cultured glioma cell lines that have largely lost their developmental identities.</p>

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly malignant brain cancer, and microglial cells play a critical role in its progression. Activation of microglia can either promote or inhibit GBM growth depending on the stage of tumour development and on the microenvironment. As current treatments for GBM have limited efficacy, there is an urgent need to develop novel strategies based on nanoplatforms for drug delivery and efficient targeting. This study investigated the microglial response and the therapeutic efficacy of dual cell membrane-coated and doxorubicin-loaded hexagonal boron nitride nanoplatelets, tested on human microglia and GBM cells. The results showed promising therapeutic effects on glioma cells and an M2 microglia polarization, highlighted through proteomic analysis.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a WHO grade IV glioma is the most common and malignant primary cancer of the central nervous system with a grim median survival of 16 to 17 months upon diagnosis. Radiotherapy is the standard first line treatment for newly diagnosed patients with gliomas, but its effectiveness is limited given their intrinsic resistance and propensity for recurrence. Although possible mechanisms have been attributed to GBM resistance to radiation treatments, the molecular mechanisms regulating radiation resistance of GBM are still unclear.

Project description:Extracellular matrix remodeling, degradation and glioma cell motility are critical aspects of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Despite being a rich source of potential biomarkers and targets for therapeutic advance, the dynamic changes within the extracellular environment that are specific to GBM cell motility have yet to be fully resolved. The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) increases glioma migration and invasion in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models. In this study, the conditioned media of Cx43-expressing C6 rat glioma cells was found to increase the motility of the parental line. Demonstrating the selective engagement of ECM-remodelling pathways, secretome analysis revealed the near-binary expression of osteopontin and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3).

Project description:One of the most detrimental hallmarks of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is cellular invasiveness, considered a potential cause of tumor recurrence. Infiltrated GBM cells are difficult to completely eradicate surgically and with local therapeutic modalities. Although much effort has focused on understanding the various mechanisms controlling GBM invasiveness, the nature of the invasiveness remains poorly characterized. Here, we established a highly invasive glioma cell line (U87R4 cells) and a non-invasive cell line (U87L4 cells) from U87MG glioma cells following four rounds of serial in vivo intracranial transplantation. Compared to U87L4 cells, U87R4 cells were highly invasive and had glioma stem cell-like properties. Microarray analysis showed that apoptosis-inducing genes (caspase3 and PDCD4) were downregulated, whereas several cancer stem cell-relevant genes (Wnt10A, Frizzled 4, and CD44) were upregulated in U87R4 cells compared to U87L4 cells. U87R4 cells were resistant to anticancer drug-induced cell death, which was partially due to downregulation of caspase3 and PDCD4. U87R4 cells retained activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling through Frizzled 4, which was sufficient to control neurosphere formation. In addition, Frizzled 4 promoted expression of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition regulator, SNAI1, and acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. Taken together, our results indicate that Frizzled 4 may be a member of the Wnt signaling family that governs both stemness and invasiveness of glioma stem cells, and may be a major cause of GBM recurrence and poor prognosis. We established a highly invasive glioma cell line (U87R4 cells) and a non-invasive cell line (U87L4 cells) from U87MG glioma cells following four rounds of serial in vivo intracranial transplantation to characterize the mRNA expression profile of highly invasive glioma cells compared to non-invasive/parental glioma cell lines.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant and most common tumor of the central nervous system characterized by rapid growth and extensive tissue infiltration. GBM results in more years of life lost than any other cancer type. Notch signaling has been implicated in GBM pathogenesis through several modes of action. Inhibition of Notch leads to a reduction of cancer-initiating cells in gliomas and reduces proliferation and migration. Deltex1 (DTX1) is part of an alternative Notch signaling pathway distinct from the canonical MAML1/RBPJκ-mediated cascade. In this study, we show that DTX1 activates both the RTK/PI3K/PKB as well as the MAPK/ERK pathway. Moreover, we found the anti-apoptotic factor Mcl-1 to be induced by DTX1. In accordance with this, the clonogenic potential and proliferation rates of glioma cell lines correlated with DTX1 levels. DTX1 knock down mitigated the tumorigenic potential in vivo, and overexpression of DTX1 increased cell migration and invasion of tumor cells accompanied by an elevation of the pro-migratory factors PKBβ and Snail1. Microarray gene expression analysis identified a DTX1-specific transcriptional program - including microRNA-21 - which is distinct from the canonical Notch signaling. We propose the alternative Notch pathway via DTX1 as oncogenic factor in malignant glioma and found low DTX1 expression levels to correlate with prolonged survival of GBM and early breast cancer patients in open source databases. We generated human glioma U373 cell lines stably expressing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP), human Deltex1-Myc Tag (DTX1-myc), or Master Mind Like 1 - dominant negative (MAML1-dn) to compare differences in overall gene expression. We included 3x EGFP control samples, 3x DTX1-myc, and 3 MAML1-dn samples.

Project description:Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Despite recent developments in surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy, a currently poor prognosis of GBM patients highlights an urgent need for novel treatment strategies. Our awareness on importance of epigenetic mechanisms for tumor initiation, progression and apoptotic response lead us to investigate epigenetic regulators of GBM survival through a genetic ablation screen. Screen with our custom library EPIDOKOL targeting functional domains of critical chromatin modifier genes, revealed multiple GBM essentiality gene candidates, most importantly ASH2L. Upon ASH2L ablation, we observed induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest concomitant with a set of downregulated signature genes. Massive reduction in tumor forming capacity of ASH2L depleted GBM cells as well as high ASH2L expression in GBM patients in comparison to low grade gliomas (LGG) proved essentiality of the gene for glioma cell fitness. Detection of epigenetic factors modulating tumor survival via high throughput, robust and affordable screens such as EPIDOKOL holds great promise to ultimately enable rapid discovery of novel cancer biomarkers and production of effective therapies which will increase life span and dignity of cancer patients.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) represents a principle quality control (QC) mechanism to clear misfolded proteins in the ER; however, its physiological significance and the nature of endogenous ERAD substrates remain largely unknown. Here we discover that IRE1alpha, the sensor of unfolded protein response (UPR), is a bona fide substrate of the Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD complex. Mechanistically, ERAD-mediated IRE1alpha degradation occurs in a Bip-dependent manner under basal conditions and is attenuated in response to ER stress. Both intramembrane hydrophilic residues of IRE1alpha and lectin protein OS9 are required for IRE1alpha degradation. ERAD deficiency causes IRE1alpha protein stabilization, accumulation and mild activation both in vitro and in vivo, leading to cellular hypersensitivity to ER stress and inflammation. Furthermore, though enterocyte-specific Sel1L-knockout mice (Sel1LÎ?IEC) are viable and appear normal, they are more susceptible to experimental colitis in an IRE1alpha-dependent but CHOP-independent manner. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD serves a distinct, essential function in restraint of IRE1alpha signaling in vivo by managing its protein turnover. Colon epithelium of wild type and enterocyte-specific Sel1L knockout mice were subjected to gene expression analysis.

Project description:Malignant gliomas represent the most devastating group of brain tumors in adults, among which glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits the highest malignancy rate. Despite combined modality treatment, GBM recurs and is invariably fatal. A further insight into molecular background of gliomagenesis is required to improve patient outcome. The first aim of this study was to gain broad information on miRNA expression pattern in malignant gliomas, mainly GBM. We investigated the global miRNA profile of malignant glioma tissues by means of miRNA microarrays, deep sequencing and meta-analysis. We selected miRNAs the most frequently deregulated in glioblastoma tissues as well as peritumoral brain areas in comparison to normal human brain. We found candidate miRNAs contributing to progression from gliomas grade III to gliomas grade IV. The meta-analysis of miRNA profiling studies in GBM tissues summarizes the past and recent advances in an investigation of miRNA signature in GBM versus noncancerous human brain and provides a comprehensive overview. We proposed a set of 35 miRNAs which expression is the most frequently deregulated in GBM patients and 30 miRNA candidates recognized as novel GBM biomarkers. miRNA expression profile in the adult malignant gliomas, glioma peritumoral tissues and normal human brain.
