Dopamine Receptor Antagonists and Radiation Create a Metabolic Vulnerability in Mouse Models of Glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma is the deadliest brain tumor in adults and the standard-of-care consists of surgery followed by radiation and treatment with temozolomide. Overall survival times for patients suffering from glioblastoma are unacceptably low indicating an unmet need for novel treatment options. Using patient-derived glioblastoma lines and mouse models of glioblastoma we tested the effect of radiation and the dopamine receptor antagonist on glioblastoma self-renewal in vitro and survival in vivo. A possible resistance mechanism was investigated using RNA-Sequencing. Treatment of glioma cells with the dopamine receptor antagonist quetiapine reduced glioma cell self-renewal in vitro and combined treatment of mice with quetiapine and radiation prolonged the survival of glioma-bearing animals. The combined treatment induced the expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. This rendered the tumors vulnerable to simultaneous treatment with atorvastatin and further significantly prolonged the survival of the animals. Our results indicate promising therapeutic efficacy with the triple combination of quetiapine, atorvastatin and radiation treatment against glioblastoma without increasing the toxicity of radiation. With both drugs readily available for clinical use our study could be rapidly translated into a clinical trial.

The Dopamine Receptor Antagonist TFP Prevents Phenotype Conversion and Improves Survival in Mouse Models of Glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma is the deadliest adult brain cancer and all patients ultimately succumb to the disease. Radiation therapy (RT) provides survival benefit of 6 months over surgery alone but these results have not improved in decades. We report that radiation induces a glioma-initiating cell phenotype and identified trifluoperazine (TFP) as a compound that interferes with this phenotype conversion. TFP caused loss of radiation-induced Nanog mRNA expression, activation of GSK3 with consecutive post-translational reduction in p-Akt, Sox2 and -catenin protein levels. TFP did not alter the intrinsic radiation sensitivity of glioma-initiating cells (GICs). Continuous treatment with TFP and a single dose of radiation reduced the number of GICs in vivo and prolonged survival in syngeneic and patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse models of glioblastoma. Our findings suggest that combination of a dopamine receptor antagonist with radiation enhances the efficacy of RT in glioblastoma by preventing radiation-induced phenotype conversion of radiosensitive non-GICs into treatment resistant, induced GICs.

The proteome of irradiated glioma stem cells and of their extracellular vesicles

Project description:Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor that is highly resistant to radiation and chemotherapy, where patients survive on average only 15 months after diagnosis. Furthering the understanding of mechanisms leading to radiation resistance of glioma is paramount to identify novel therapeutic targets. Previous studies have shown that glioma stem cells (GSCs) play an important role in promoting radiation resistance and disease recurrence. Herein we analyze the proteomic alterations occurring in patient-derived GSCs upon radiation treatment in order to identify molecular drivers of resistance. We show that proteome changes upon radiation accurately predict the resistance status of the cells, and that resistance to radiation does not correlate with glioma transcriptional subtypes. We further show that the radio-resistant cell line GSC-267 sheds microvesicles (MVs) enriched in the metabolic enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT).

G0/G1 switch gene 2 modulates gliomagenesis and radiation response

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.

Core pathway mutations induce de-differentiation of murine astrocytes into glioblastoma stem cells that are sensitive to radiation, but resistant to temozolomide (RNA-seq)

Project description:Introduction: Glioma stem cells isolated from human glioblastomas are resistant to radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy and may drive tumor recurrence. Treatment efficacy may depend on the presence of glioma stem cells, expression of DNA repair enzymes such as methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT), or transcriptome subtype. Methods: To model genetic alterations in the core signaling pathways of human glioblastoma, we induced conditional Rb knockout, Kras activation, and Pten deletion mutations in cortical murine astrocytes. Serial neurosphere culture, multi-lineage differentiation, and orthotopic transplantation were used to assess whether these mutations induced de-differentiation of cortical astrocytes into glioma stem cells. Efficacy of radiation and temozolomide was examined in vitro and in an allograft model in vivo. The effects of radiation on transcriptome subtype was examined by expression profiling. Results: G1/S-defective, Rb knockout astrocytes gained unlimited self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capacity, in both the presence and absence of Kras and Pten mutations. Only triple mutant astrocytes formed serially-transplantable glioblastoma allografts. Triple mutant astrocytes and allografts were sensitive to radiation, but expressed Mgmt and were resistant to temozolomide. Radiation induced a shift in transcriptome subtype of glioblastoma allografts from proneural to mesenchymal. Conclusion: A defined set of core signaling pathway mutations induces de-differentiation of cortical murine astrocytes into glioma stem cells. This non-germline genetically engineered mouse model mimics human proneural glioblastoma on histopathological, molecular, and treatment response levels. It may be useful in dissecting the genetic and cellular mechanisms of treatment resistance and developing more effective therapies.

Autophagy is essential for tumor development and survival in hypoxia and in vivo in glioblastoma. (Provisional)

Project description:Hypoxia is negatively associated with glioblastoma patient survival and contributes strongly to tumor resistance. Unfortunately novel anti-angiogenic therapy increases hypoxia and activates survival pathways in tumor cells leading to inevitable tumor relapse. Here we demonstrate that primary glioma cultures and cell lines depend on autophagy to survive severe hypoxia but also at normal oxygen levels. Positive regulators of autophagy are expressed at higher levels in tumor cells and induction in severe hypoxia is more prominent compared to normal brain cells. We demonstrate that autophagy is an essential/critical target for novel treatment in glioblastoma. We show ATG9A is induced by severe hypoxia and could be a novel player of the autophagic response in glioma cells. ATG9A targeting inhibited tumor growth, suggesting an essential role in glioma cell survival in vivo. While autophagy induction was also observed in normal astrocytes, glioma cells displayed a higher sensitivity towards autophagy inhibitors. Importantly, patient-derived cultures exhibited varying sensitivity towards anti-autophagy treatment, where certain cultures were dependent on autophagy already in normoxic conditions. The treatment of tumor bearing mice with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine significantly increased mice survival, but combination treatment of the agent with bevacizumab did not reveal additive or synergistic effect. The present study demonstrates that inhibition of autophagy using chloroquine as a single agent provides a novel treatment strategy against glioblastoma. It remains to be seen whether autophagy inhibition will improve current standard of care treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients and whether more specific inhibitors will lead to stronger therapeutic outcome.

Gene expression data from PNU 96415E treated human glioblastoma derived neural stem cells (GNS)

Project description:Glioblastomas grow in a rich neurochemical mileu, but targeting neurochemical signaling as a potential therapeutic avenue for these incurable tumors has been underexplored. Thus, we probed patient derived glioblastoma stem cells with a focused library of neurochemicals, to identify new therapeutic targets. Dopaminergic, serotonergic and cholinergic pathways were found to be active against glioblastoma. In particular, dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) antagonists selectively inhibited glioblastoma growth in vitro and in vivo, in addition to showing synergistic effect with temozolomide. Small molecule or genetic antagonism of DRD4 suppressed ERK1/2 signaling and impaired autophagic flux causing accumulation of autophagic vacuoles and ubiquitinated proteins, associated with G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. These data suggest a new mechanism for treating glioblastoma through modulating dopamine DRD4 signaling. We used Affymetrix microarrays to characterize the mechanism of action for dopamine receptor D4 antagonist (PNU 96415E) in human glioblastoma derived neural stem cells. We treated the human glioblastoma derived neural stem cells (GNS cells) with PNU 96415E for period of 0h, 24h and 48h and extracted RNA for hybridaization on Affymetrix microarrary (Human gene 1.0 ST array) on two GNS lines.

A Proneural to Mesenchymal Transition Mediated by NFkB Promotes Radiation Resistance in Glioblastoma (part 1)

Project description:SUMMARY Despite numerous genome-wide association studies involving glioblastoma (GBM), few therapeutic targets have been identified for this disease. Using patient derived glioma sphere cultures (GSCs), we have found that a subset of the proneural (PN) GSCs undergo transition to a mesenchymal (MES) state in a TNFa/NFkB dependent manner with an associated enrichment of CD44 sub-populations and radio-resistant phenotypes. To the contrary, MES GSCs exhibit constitutive NFkB activation, CD44 enrichment and radio-resistance. Patients whose tumors exhibit a higher MES metagene, increased expression of CD44, or activated NFkB were associated with poor radiation response and shorter survival. Our results indicate that NFkB activation mediated MES differentiation and radiation resistance presents an attractive therapeutic target for GBM. SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we show plasticity between the proneural (PN) and mesenchymal (MES) transcriptome signatures observed in glioblastoma (GBM). Specifically, we show that PN glioma sphere cultures (GSCs) can be induced to a MES state with an associated enrichment of CD44 expressing cells and a gain of radio-resistance, which we implicate as NFkB- dependent. Newly diagnosed GBM samples show a direct correlation between radiation response, higher MES metagene, CD44 expression, and NFkB activation. This correlation is also observed in the subset of GBM samples that do not exhibit IDH1 mutation, a favorable prognostic marker. Our results uncover a previously unknown link between subtype plasticity that is regulated by NFkB. Inhibition of NFkB activation can directly impact radio-resistance and presents an attractive therapeutic target for GBM. Gene expression data for 17 isolated Glioma Stem Cells
