GDNF/GFRA1 signaling contributes to chemo- and radioresistance in glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by an inherent aggressivity and resistance to treatment leading to poor prognoses. While some resistance mechanisms have been elucidated, a deeper understanding of these mechanisms is needed to increase therapeutic efficacy. In this study we first discovered glial-cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to be upregulated in patient-derived glioblastoma spheroid cultures after chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ) treatment, through RNA-Seq experiments. Therefore, we investigated the role of the GDNF/GDNF receptor alpha 1 (GFRA1) signaling pathway as a resistance mechanism to chemotherapy with temozolomide and lomustine as well as irradiation using patient-derived glioblastoma spheroid cultures. With qPCR experiments we showed a consistent upregulation of GDNF and its primary receptor GFRA1 following all three lines of treatment. Moreover, CRISPR/Cas9 knock-outs of GDNF in two patient-derived models sensitized these cells to chemotherapy treatment, but not radiotherapy. The increased sensitivity was completely reversed by the addition of exogeneous GDNF, confirming the key role of this factor in chemoresistance. Finally, a CRISPR KO of GFRA1 demonstrated a similar increased sensitivity to temozolomide and lomustine treatment, as well as radiotherapy. Together, our findings support the role of the GDNF/GFRA1 signaling pathway in glioblastoma chemo and radioresistance.

Identification of changes in the LNZ308 HLA immunopeptidome after virotherapy, irradiation and chemotherapy

Project description:Glioblastoma is an aggressive incurable primary malignant brain tumor. Measles virus (MeV) therapy is a promising upcoming treatment strategy with proven preclinical efficacy and clinical safety. Using RNA Sequencing and immunopeptidome analyses, we aimed at identifying a synergistic combination regimen of MeV with conventional therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma patients, i.e. radiotherapy and temozolomide or lomustine, and to understand the underlying molecular mechanism.

Gene expression profiles of glioblastoma tumorspheres cultured in diverse platforms

Project description:We studied five patients with IDH1 wild-type glioblastoma who were newly diagnosed with no treatment history via surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Patient-derived glioblastoma tumorspheres (TSs) were established from fresh tissue specimens, and they were cultured in divserse platforms.

Density Gradients Separate Dormant and Treatment-Resistant Human Glioblastoma Cells

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the most aggressive cancers. Despite aggressive radiotherapy and treatment with the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), patients ultimately succumb to the disease. Although much interest has focused on highly tumorigenic GBM stem cells (GSCs), adaption of a concept from microbial research proposes that a minor population of dormant âpersisterâ cells in cancer evade current therapies. To separate dormant and treatment-resistant tumor cells in human GBM tumorspheres, we have refined density gradient protocols previously used for separation of neurosphere-forming neural stem cells (NSCs). We find that a minor cell population in human GBM tumorsphere cultures and patient-derived tumor biopsies display increased cell density. These high-density GBM cells (HDGCs) display dormancy, variable expression of proposed GSC markers, and 10-100 fold higher levels of reprogramming gene expression compared to low-density GBM cells (LDGCs). Transcriptional profiling data confirmed the slow-cycling state of HDGCs. As a result, HDGCs show decreased tumorsphere formation capacity in vitro and reduced tumorigenicity in vivo. Using tumorspheres and xenografts, we demonstrated that HDGCs show increased treatment-resistance to ionizing radiation (IR) and temozolomide treatment compared to LDGCs. Similar to the NSC lineage, our data suggest that dormant HDGCs become increasingly sensitive to anti-proliferative therapies as they become activated and further differentiate. In conclusion, density gradients represents a marker-independent approach to separate dormant and treatment-resistant tumor cells in human GBMs and other solid cancers. 12 samples, no replicates, derived from 5 individual patients

Targeted delivery of tumor necrosis factor in combination with lomustine induces a T-cell dependent regression of glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with an unmet need for more effective therapies. Here we report that the combination of L19TNF, an antibody-cytokine fusion protein based on tumor necrosis factor that selectively localizes on the tumor neo-vasculature, with the alkylating agent lomustine, can induce tumor regression in orthotopic glioma-bearing mice and patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Mechanistically, this striking synergy crucially depended on T cells and involved activation of the tumor endothelium, tumor DNA damage, treatment-associated tumor necrosis, increased antigen presentation on MHC class I and tumor immune cell infiltration, as well as decreased tumor-associated immunosuppression. The clinical translation of this approach is ongoing, but already shows durable responses in the first recurrent glioblastoma patient cohort treated with L19TNF in combination with lomustine (NCT04573192).

Patients With Proneural Glioblastoma May Derive Overall Survival Benefit From the Addition of Bevacizumab to First-Line Radiotherapy and Temozolomide: Retrospective Analysis of the AVAglio Trial

Project description:The AVAglio and RTOG-0825 randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials in newly diagnosed glioblastoma reported prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), with the addition of bevacizumab to radiotherapy/temozolomide. To establish whether certain patient subgroups derived OS benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to first-line standard-of-care therapy, AVAglio patients were retrospectively evaluated for molecular subtype, and bevacizumab efficacy assessed for each patient subgroup. A multivariate analysis accounting for prognostic covariates revealed that bevacizumab conferred a significant OS advantage versus placebo for patients with Proneural IDH1 wild-type tumors (17.1 v 12.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.73; P = .002). This analysis also revealed an interaction between the Proneural subtype biomarker and treatment arm (P = .023). The group of patients with Mesenchymal and Proneural tumors derived a PFS benefit from bevacizumab, compared with placebo; however, this translated to an OS benefit in the Proneural subset only. Retrospective analysis of AVAglio data suggests that patients with IDH1 wild-type Proneural glioblastoma may derive OS benefit from first-line bevacizumab treatment. The predictive value of the Proneural subtype observed in AVAglio should be validated in an independent dataset. A total of 349 (bevacizumab arm, n = 171; placebo arm, n = 178) pretreatment specimens from AVAglio patients (total n = 921) were available for biomarker analysis. Samples were profiled for gene expression and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status and classified into previously identified molecular subtypes. PFS and OS were assessed within each subtype.
