Comprehensive genomic profiling of matched glioblastoma tumors, cell-lines and xenografts reveals genomic stability and adaptation to disparate growth environments

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most deadly brain tumor, and currently lacks effective treatment options. Brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs) and orthotopic xenografts are widely used in investigating GBM biology and new therapies for this aggressive disease. However, the genomic characteristics and molecular resemblance of these models to GBM tumors remain undetermined. We used massively parallel sequencing technology to decode the genomes and transcriptomes of BTICs and xenografts and their matched tumors in order to delineate the potential impacts of the distinct growth environments. Using data generated from whole‐genome sequencing of 201 samples and RNA sequencing of 118 samples, we showed that typical GBM genomic driver alterations found in the tumors were retained in BTICs and xenografts. In contrast, gene expression and methylation profiles indicated higher levels of divergence, likely due to the different growth environment for each sample type. These findings suggest that a comprehensive genomic understanding of in vitro and in vivo GBM model systems is crucial for interpreting data from drug‐screens, and can help control for biases introduced by cell culture conditions and the microenvironment in mouse models.

Transcript expression data from glioblastoma subcutaneous xenografts and non-neoplastic control brain

Project description:Development of model systems that recapitulate the molecular heterogeneity observed amongst GBM tumors will expedite the testing of targeted molecular therapeutic strategies for GBM treatment. In this study, we profiled DNA copy number and mRNA expression in 21 independent GBM tumor lines maintained as subcutaneous xenografts (GBMX), and compared GBMX molecular signatures to those observed in GBM clinical specimens derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The predominant copy number signature in both tumor groups was defined by chromosome-7-gain/chromosome-10-loss, a poor prognosis genetic signature. We also observed, at frequencies similar to that detected in TCGA GBMs genomic amplification and overexpression of known GBM oncogenes such as EGFR, MDM2, CDK6 and MYCN, and novel genes including NUP107, SLC35E3, MMP1, MMP13 and DDX1. The transcriptional signature of GBMX tumors, which was stable over multiple subcutaneous passages, was defined by overexpression of genes involved in M-phase, DNA Replication, and Chromosome organization (MRC) and was highly similar to the poor-prognosis mitosis-and-cell-cycle-module (MCM) in GBM. Assessment of gene expression in TCGA-derived GBMs revealed overexpression of MRC cancer genes AURKB, BIRC5, CCNB1, CCNB2, CDC2, CDK2, and FOXM1, which form a transcriptional network important for G2/M- progression and/or -checkpoint activation. In conclusion, our study supports propagation of GBM tumors as subcutaneous xenografts as a useful approach for sustaining key molecular characteristics of patient tumors, and highlights therapeutic opportunities conferred by this GBMX tumor panel for testing targeted therapeutic strategies for GBM treatment. Keywords: Disease state analysis RNA expression was assessed in 38 samples: 34 GBM xenograft tumors (29 independent tumors with hybridization replicates for 5 tumors) and 4 non-neoplastic control brain samples

Identification and molecular characterization of distinct glioblastoma cancer stem cell populations

Project description:Malignant glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Genomic profiling of GBM samples in the TCGA database has identified four molecular subtypes (Proneural, Neural, Classical and Mesenchymal), which may arise from different glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) populations. In the present study, we identify two GSC populations that produce GBM tumors by subcutaneous and intracranial injection with identical histological features. Gene expression analysis revealed that xenografts of GSCs grown as spheroid cultures had a Classical molecular subtype similar to that of bulk tumor cells. In contrast xenografts of GSCs grown as adherent cultures on laminin-coated plates expressed a Mesenchymal gene signature. Adherent GSC-derived xenografts had high STAT3 and ANGPTL4 expression as well as enrichment for stem cell markers, transcriptional networks and pro-angiogenic markers characteristic of the Mesenchymal subtype. Examination of clinical samples from GBM patients showed that STAT3 expression was directly correlated with ANGPTL4 expression, and that increased expression of these genes correlated with poor patient survival and performance. A pharmacological STAT3 inhibitor abrogated STAT3 binding to the ANGPTL4 promoter and exhibited anticancer activity in vivo. Taken together, we identified two distinct GSC populations that produce histologically identical tumors but with very different gene expression patterns, and a STAT3/ ANGPTL4 pathway in glioblastoma that may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention. 2 samples of each variable were analyzed. Cells were cultured under normal adherent conditon (Bulk tumor cells), non-adherent plates with stem cell medium (Sp-GSC) or laminin-coated plates with stem cell medium (Ad-GSC). Xenografts were generated in NSG mice by subcutaneous inoculation.

Gene expression analysis reveals close resemblance between Glioblastoma (GBM) patient tumors and corresponding patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs)

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs) were derived from organotypic spheroids obtained from patient tumor samples. To detect whether gene expression profiles of GBM patient tumors are retained in PDOXs, we performed genome-wide transcript analysis by human-specific microarrays . In parallel, we analyzed GBM cell cultures and corresponding intracranial xenografts from stem-like (NCH421k, NCH644) and adherent GBM cell lines (U87, U251). PDOXs show a better transcriptomic resemblance with patient tumors than other preclinical models. The major difference is largely explained by the depletion of human-derived non-malignant cells.

Cell-specific crosstalk proteomics reveals cathepsin B signaling as a driver of glioblastoma malignancy near the subventricular zone

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor. GBM proximal to the lateral ventricles (LVs) is more aggressive, potentially due to subventricular zone (SVZ) contact. Despite this, crosstalk between GBM and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC/NPCs) is not well understood. Using cell-specific proteomics, we show that LV-proximal GBM prevents neuronal maturation of NSCs through induction of senescence. Additionally, GBM brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs) increase expression of CTSB upon interaction with NPCs. Lentiviral knockdown and recombinant protein experiments reveal both cell-intrinsic and soluble CTSB promote malignancy-associated phenotypes in BTICs. Soluble CTSB stalls neuronal maturation in NPCs while promoting senescence, providing a link between LV-tumor proximity and neurogenesis disruption. Finally, we show LV-proximal CTSB upregulation in patients, showing the relevance of this crosstalk in human GBM biology. These results demonstrate the value of proteomic analysis in tumor microenvironment research and provide direction for new therapeutic strategies in GBM.

Transcriptome analysis of mouse tumors driven by PIK3CA mutation variants

Project description:The RTK/RAS/PI3K pathway is a key driver of tumorigenesis across all cancers, with 90% of Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors exhibiting alterations in this pathway. Among the specific genes in this pathway mutations in PI3K’s catalytic subunit, PIK3CA, are found in 11% of GBM tumors. Sequencing of GBM samples has revealed several known hotspot mutations that drive tumorigenesis in several cancers (E545K, H1047R), as well as a series of 63 in frame mutations (as indexed in COSMIC) that remain largely unclassified. To decode which of these PIK3CA variants function as drivers of GBM, we established an in vivo complementation screening platform for GBM. Our mouse GBM model relies on in utero electroporation (IUE) and CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout of NF1, p53, and PTEN (termed 3xCR). Because PTEN catalyzes the reverse reaction of PIK3CA, phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, we complemented loss of PTEN with overexpression of E545K or H1047R, two bona fide hot spot driver mutations of PIK3CA. Both these variants accelerated tumor associated death, demonstrating that known PIK3CA drivers can complement PTEN loss in our system.

The angiogenic switch leads to a metabolic shift in human glioblastoma

Project description:The gene expression profiles of two groups of triplicate human glioblastoma (GBM) xenografts grown in immunodeficient rats were compared. The first group of xenografts was derived from a patient biopsy with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) amplification which grows highly invasive and is independent of angiogenesis. The second group was obtained by introducing a dominant-negative EGFR mutant into the tumor cells, leading to a progression of the tumors to an angiogenic phenotype associated with a transition from a proneural to a mesenchymal GBM molecular subtype.
