Highly-motile versus unsorted bulk primary Glioblastoma cells from two patients (GBM965 and GBM897)

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of brain cancer, characterized by high recurrence and dismal prognosis. Presently, there is no effective in vitro platform that can rapidly measure complex cellular phenotypic traits and predict patient-specific clinical outcomes. Here, we fabricated and evaluated an in vitro testing platform, Microfluidic Assay for Quantification of Cell Invasion (MAqCI), by screening a panel of 28 patient-derived primary GBM specimens in a blinded multi-institutional retrospective cohort study. We quantified the ability of GBM cells to navigate and squeeze through confined microenvironments that mimic tight perivascular conduits and white matter tracts in the brain parenchyma in vivo, as well as the proliferative capacity of highly motile subpopulations. By combining migratory- and proliferative-based indices, MAqCI correctly categorized patients into short- or long-term survival groups with high sensitivity (84%), specificity (89%), and accuracy (86%), and predicted time to recurrence. In a pilot prospective study, MAqCI classified all 5 patients accurately based on their survival outcomes. Overall, our study suggests that invasive growth is intimately linked with GBM progression and patient outcomes, and reveals the translational potential of MAqCI for personalized GBM care.

Crosstalk with astrocytes establishes tumor edge in glioblastoma

Project description:Clinical outcomes for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) are extremely poor due to inevitable tumor recurrence even after extensive treatments. These recurrences are thought to manifest from cells located within the tumor edge. Despite this, the precise molecular mechanism governing GBM spatial phenotypic heterogeneity (e.g. edge vs. core) and subsequent tumor recurrence remains poorly elucidated. Here, using patient-derived GBM core and edge tissues, we analyzed transcriptional and metabolic signatures in an effort to determine how GBM facilitates the edge phenotype and its associated recurrence-initiating cells (RICs). In so doing, we unexpectedly identified CD38 as an essential protein in the formation of the edge phenotype and found a CD38-driven interaction between edge GBM cells and neighboring astrocytes that communally develops a GBM edge that is unresectable by surgery and retains RICs.

Highly-motile versus unsorted MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells

Project description:The challenge of predicting which patients with breast cancer will develop metastases leads to the overtreatment of patients with benign disease and to the inadequate treatment of the aggressive cancers. Here, we report the development and testing of a microfluidic assay that quantifies the abundance and proliferation of migratory cells in breast-cancer specimens, for the assessment of their metastatic propensity and for the rapid screening of potential antimetastatic therapeutics. On the basis of the key roles of cell motility and proliferation in cancer metastasis, the device accurately predicts the metastatic potential of breast-cancer cell lines and of patient-derived xenografts. Compared to unsorted cancer cells, highly motile cells isolated by the device exhibited similar tumourigenic potential but markedly increased metastatic propensity in vivo. RNA sequencing of the highly motile cells revealed an enrichment of motility-related and survival-related genes. The approach might be developed into a companion assay for the prediction of metastasis in patients and for the selection of effective therapeutic regimens.

SUV39H1 Maintains Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest brain cancer, driven in part by GBM stem cells (GSCs) that contribute to therapeutic resistance and tumor recurrence. Effective targeting and elimination of GSCs hold promise for preventing GBM recurrence and achieving potential cures. In this study, we explored the role of the epigenetic regulator SUV39H1 in GSC maintenance and GBM progression. We observed that SUV39H1 is upregulated in GBM samples compared to normal brain tissues. Single-cell RNA-seq data indicated that SUV39H1 is preferentially expressed in GSCs relative to non-stem GBM cells, possibly due to super-enhancer-mediated transcriptional activation. Knockdown of SUV39H1 in patient-derived GSCs impaired their proliferation and stemness. RNA-seq analysis revealed that SUV39H1 regulates G2/M cell cycle progression, stem cell maintenance, and cell death pathways in GSCs. Integrated ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin followed by sequencing) and RNA-seq analyses demonstrated that targeting SUV39H1 altered chromatin accessibility in key genes associated with these pathways. Treatment with chaetocin, a SUV39H1 inhibitor, mimicked the effects of SUV39H1 knockdown in GSCs and sensitized them to the GBM chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ). In vivo studies using an intracranial patient-derived xenograft model showed that targeting SUV39H1 inhibited GSC-driven tumor formation in mice. Our findings identify SUV39H1 as a critical regulator of GSC maintenance and suggest that targeting SUV39H1 could disrupt GSCs and enhance the efficacy of existing chemotherapy, offering a promising strategy for improving GBM treatment outcomes.

Characterization of the minimal residual disease state reveals distinct evlutionary trajectories of human glioblastoma [single-cell RNA-seq]

Project description:Recurrence of solid tumors renders patients vulnerable to a distinctly advanced, highly treatment-refractory disease state that has an increased mutational burden and novel oncogenic drivers not detected at initial diagnosis. Improving outcomes for recurrent cancers requires a better understanding of cancer cell populations that expand from the post-therapy, minimal residual disease (MRD) state. We profiled barcoded tumor cell populations through therapy at tumor initiation/engraftment, MRD and recurrence in our therapy-adapted, patient-derived xenograft models of glioblastoma (GBM). Tumors showed distinct patterns of recurrence in which clonal populations exhibited either an a priori, pre-existing fitness advantage, or a priori equipotency fitness acquired through therapy. Characterization of the MRD state by single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing revealed a tumor-intrinsic immunomodulatory signature with strong prognostic significance at the transcriptomic level and in proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected from GBM patients at all stages of disease. Our results provide insight into the innate and therapy-driven dynamics of human GBM, and the prognostic value of interrogating the MRD state in solid cancers.

Endothelial-secreted Endocan protein activates PDGFRa signaling and regulates vascularity, radioresistance, and regional phenotype in glioblastoma

Project description:Extensive neovascularization is a hallmark of glioblastoma (GBM). In addition to supplying oxygen and nutrients, vascular endothelial cells provide trophic support to GBM cells via paracrine signaling. Here we report that Endocan (ESM1), an endothelial-secreted proteoglycan, confers enhanced proliferative, migratory, and angiogenic properties to GBM cells and regulates their spatial identity. Mechanistically, Endocan exerts at least part of its functions via direct binding and activation of the PDGFRA receptor. Subsequent downstream signaling enhances chromatin accessibility of the Myc promoter and upregulates Myc expression inducing stable phenotypic changes in GBM cells. Furthermore, Endocan confers a radioprotection phenotype in GBM cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of Endocan-PDGFRA signaling with ponatinib increases survival in the Esm1 wild-type but not in the Esm1 knock-out mouse GBM model. Our findings identify Endocan and its downstream signaling axis as a potential target to subdue GBM recurrence and highlight the importance of vascular-tumor interactions for GBM development.

Endothelial-secreted Endocan protein acts as a PDGFR alpha ligand and regulates vascularity, radioresistance, and regional phenotype in glioblastoma [2]

Project description:One of the hallmarks of glioblastoma (GBM) is extensive neovascularization. In addition to supplying blood and nutrients, vascular endothelial (VE) cells provide trophic support to GBM cells via paracrine signaling, the precise mechanisms of which are being unraveled. Here, using patient-derived GBM and VE cells as well as orthotopic GBM mouse models, we report that Endocan (ESM1), an endothelial-secreted proteoglycan, confers enhanced proliferative, migratory, and angiogenic properties to GBM cells and regulates their spatial identity. Mechanistically, Endocan exerts at least part of its functions via direct binding and activation of the PDGFRA receptor. Subsequent downstream signaling enhances chromatin accessibility of the Myc promoter and upregulates Myc expression inducing highly stable phenotypic changes in GBM cells. Furthermore, Endocan confers a radioprotection phenotype in GBM cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of Endocan-PDGFRA signaling with ponatinib increases survival in the Esm1 wild-type but not in the Esm1 knock-out mouse GBM model. Our findings identify Endocan and its downstream signaling axis as a potential target to subdue the recurrence of GBM and further highlight the importance of vascular to tumor cell signaling for GBM biology.
