Project description:The World Health Organization has recently introduced molecular prognostic-diagnostic biomarkers in the classification of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors. In order to characterize subclasses of tumors that cannot find a precise location in the current classification, and, or cannot be tested because of scant material, it is important to find new molecular biomarkers in tissue and, or biological fluid samples. In this study, we identified serum microRNAs that could serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with tumors of glial origin. We retrospectively analyzed microRNA expression in the serum extracellular vesicles of patients with tumors of glial origin. Extracellular vesicles RNA was analyzed by Nanostring. qRT-PCR confirmed 6 overexpressed microRNAs: hsa-miR-4443, hsa-miR-422a, hsa-miR-494-3p, hsa-miR-502-5p, hsa-miR-520f-3p, and hsa-miR-549a. Hsa-miR-4443 was the only microRNA that showed significant differences in most comparisons. In situ hybridization (ISH), confirmed that our signature was mostly expressed in cancer cells. Importantly, hsa-miR-549a and hsa-miR-502-5p expression predicted prognosis in patients with tumors of glial origin. Although more studies are needed, we demonstrated that serum vesicles microRNA profiles are promising diagnostic and prognostic molecular biomarkers that will find an actual application in the clinical practice of CNS tumors.

Project description:Gene expression profiling in 50 glial brain tumors and 4 normal brains using 42,000-feature cDNA microarrays (from total RNA). Tumors: 50 fresh-frozen glioma specimens subjected to standard WHO classification. Specimens included astrocytic [2 juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas, 1 low-grade astrocytic glioma, 1 anaplastic astrocytomas, 31 glioblastomas (of these 2 secondary glioblastomas and 2 gliosarcomas)], oligodendroglial [5 oligodendrogliomas, 3 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas], and 6 anaplastic oligoastrocytomas tumors. One tumor had been classified as glioneuronal neoplasm. Normal brain was purchased from Stratagene. Stratagene Universal Common Reference was used as reference RNA. The results provide insights into molecular mechanisms and pathways associated with gliomagenesis.

Project description:We characterized tumor stroma from glioma phenotypes before and after the onset of angiogenesis, established in GFP-NOD/Scid mice. From these tumors we separated GFP-positive stromal cells from GFP-negative tumor cells with simultaneous removal of stromal immune cells (CD11b+) and endothelial cells (CD31+). From the resulting cell population we isolated RNA for gene microarray analysis.

Project description:Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) encephalitis and meningitis are potential central nervous system (CNS) complications following primary VZV infection or reactivation. With innate immune signalling, and more specifically type I interferon (IFN) signalling, being an important first line cellular defence mechanism against VZV infection, we here investigated the triggering of innate immune responses in a human CNS-like environment. For this, we established and characterised a 5-month matured hiPSC-derived neurospheroid (NSPH) model containing TuJ1+ MAP2+ NeuN+ neurons and GFAP+ S100b+ AQP4+ CD49f+ astrocytes. Immune competence of these NSPHs was demonstrated by secretion of IL-6 and CXCL10 following stimulation with a cocktail of pro-inflammatory stimuli. Subsequently, NSPHs were infected with reporter strains of VZV (eGFP-ORF23 VZV) and Sendai virus (eGFP SeV). Live cell and immunocytochemical analyses demonstrated VZV infection within NSPHs, while SeV infection was limited to the outer NSPH border. Next, a transcript-level immune profiling was performed using NanoString technology to explore innate immune signatures of virus-infected NSPHs. While SeV-infected NSPHs displayed a clear Type I IFN response, in VZV-infected NSPHs no Type I IFN response was activated. Even more, in the latter a strong suppression of genes related to IFN signalling and antigen presentation was noted. Validating these opposite immune signatures in VZV- and SeV-infected NSPHs, cytokine profiling of NSPH supernatant revealed increased secretion of IL6 and CXCL10 by SeV-infected NSPHs, but not by VZV-infected NSPHs. Similarly, immunocytochemical analysis demonstrated upregulation of type I IFN activated anti-viral proteins Mx1, IFIT2 and ISG15 in SeV-infected NSPHs, but not in VZV-infected NSPHs. Furthermore, CD74, a key part of the MHC class II antigen presentation pathway was found to be suppressed in VZV-infected NSPHs. Finally, even though VZV-infection seems to be immunologically ignored in NSPHs, its presence does result in the formation of stress granules throughout the entire NSPH. Concluding, in this study we demonstrate that 5-month matured hiPSC-derived NSPHs display functional innate immune reactivity towards SeV infection, as well as their capability to recapitulate the strong immune evasive behaviour of VZV. Subsequently, this NSPH model has the potential to study viral neuro-immune responses and evasion strategies in a human CNS-like environment.

Project description:Using a cytokeratin 5 gene promoter, we ectopically expressed a constitutively active zebrafish smoothened (smoa1) in presumably glial progenitor cells of zebrafish CNS. Stable transgenic zebrafish developed retinal tumors and low grade glioma of the optic nerve. Microarray analysis showed upregulation of Hh downstream targets of ptc1, gli1 and gli2a in tumors. Immunofluorescence studies confirmed overexpression of Pax2, GFAP, S100 and Sox2, specifically in gliomas. We also detected upregulated expression of phosphorylated pRb and Mdm2 associated with gliomagenesis. Our results suggest that dysregulated Hh signaling initiates tumorigenesis in zebrafish CNS. Zebrafish optic nerve maintains phosphorylated pRb expression, therefore provides a unique niche for pathogenesis of glioma. RNAs from 4 gross eye tumors (from fish of 4 months of age) and 4 normal eyes from wil-type control fish were extracted and used for array analysis
