Human Cerebrospinal Fluid modulates pathways promoting Glioblastoma malignancy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and devastating primary cancer of the central nervous system in adults. High grade gliomas are able to modify and respond to the brain microenvironment. When GBM tumors infiltrate the Subventricular zone (SVZ) they have a more aggressive clinical presentation than SVZ-distal tumors. We suggest that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contact contributes to enhance GBM malignant characteristics in these tumors. We evaluated the impact of human CSF on GBM, performing a transcriptome analysis on human primary GBM cells exposed to CSF of cancer and non cancer origin to measure changes in gene expression profile associated with increased malignancy and their clinical relevance on disease outcome.
