Glioblastoma disrupts cortical network activity at multiple spatial and temporal scales

ABSTRACT: The emergence of glioblastoma in cortical tissue initiates early and persistent neural hyperexcitability with signs ranging from mild cognitive impairment to convulsive seizures. The influence of peritumoral synaptic density, expansion dynamics, and spatial contours of excess glutamate upon higher order neuronal network modularity is unknown. We combined cellular and widefield imaging of calcium and glutamate fluorescent reporters in two glioblastoma mouse models with distinct synaptic microenvironments and infiltration profiles. Functional metrics of neural ensembles are dysregulated during tumor invasion depending on the stage of malignant progression and tumor cell proximity. Neural activity is differentially modulated during periods of accelerated and inhibited tumor expansion. Abnormal glutamate accumulation precedes and outpaces the spatial extent of baseline neuronal calcium signaling, indicating these processes are uncoupled in tumor cortex. Distinctive excitability homeostasis patterns and functional connectivity of local and remote neuronal populations support the promise of precision genetic diagnosis and management of this devastating brain disease.

Kinomic analysis of excitotoxicity in primary neuronal cultures

Project description:Glutamate excitotoxicity plays a critical role in neurodegeneration by triggering NMDA receptorhyperactivation, leading to elevated synaptic calcium levels and subsequent neuronal cell death. Tobetter understand how glutamateaffects neurons in neurological diseases, we conducted acomprehensive analysis of molecular changes at the transcriptome and kinome levels.Our research used primary cortical cultures from rat embryos to study glutamate excitotoxicity. Non-neuronal cells,like astrocytes, typically enhance neuron tolerance to glutamate excitotoxicity. We useda neuron-rich cultured system and observed that the effects of glutamate on neurons are concentration-dependent. Intermediate doses of glutamate had significant neurotoxic effects, while high and lowdoses resulted in less cell mortality, aligning with previous findings related to calcium influx.Glutamate is known to inhibit protein synthesis in neurons and leads to a rise in cytosolic calcium, a keystep in synapticplasticity and delayed neuronal cell death. Kinome profiling indicated activation of PKAand PKG phosphorylation, essential for synaptic plasticity-related gene expression.

Targeting tumor-intrinsic neural vulnerabilities of glioblastoma

Project description:The neural behavior of glioblastoma, including the formation of tumor microtubes and synaptic circuitry, is increasingly understood to be pivotal for disease manifestation (Osswald et al. 2015; Venkatesh et al. 2015; Weil et al. 2017; Venkataramani et al. 2019; Venkatesh et al. 2019; Alcantara Llaguno et al. 2019; Venkataramani et al. 2022). Nonetheless, the few approved treatments for glioblastoma target its oncological nature, while its neural vulnerabilities remain incompletely mapped and clinically unexploited. Here, we systematically survey the neural molecular dependencies and cellular heterogeneity across 27 glioblastoma patients and diverse model systems. In patient tumor samples taken directly after surgery, we identify a spectrum of neural stem cell morphologies indicative of poor prognosis, and discover a set of repurposable neuroactive drugs with unexpected and consistent anti-glioma efficacy. Glioblastoma cells exhibit functional dependencies on highly expressed drug targets including neurological ion channels and receptors, while interpretable molecular machine learning reveals downstream convergence on secondary drug targets (COSTAR) involving AP-1-driven tumor suppression. COSTAR enables in silico drug screening on >1 million compounds that are validated with high accuracy. Multi-omic profiling of drug-treated glioblastoma cells confirms rapid Ca2+-driven AP-1 pathway induction to represent a tumor-intrinsic vulnerability at the intersection of oncogenesis and neural activity-dependent signaling. Finally, the consistent anti-glioma activity across patients and model systems is epitomized by the antidepressant Vortioxetine, which synergizes in vivo with approved glioblastoma chemotherapies. In all, our global analysis reveals that the neural vulnerabilities of glioblastoma converge on an AP-1 mediated gene regulatory network with direct translatable potential.

Glioblastoma remodeling of neural circuits in the human brain decreases survival

Project description:Gliomas synaptically integrate into neural circuits. Prior work has demonstrated bidirectional interactions between neurons and glioma cells, with neuronal activity driving glioma growth and gliomas increasing neuronal excitability. In this study we sought to determine how glioma-induced neuronal changes influence neural circuits underlying cognition and whether these interactions influence patient survival. Using intracranial brain recordings during lexical retrieval language tasks in awake humans together with site-specific tumor tissue biopsies and cell biology experiments, we found that gliomas remodel functional neural circuitry such that task-relevant neural responses activate tumor-infiltrated cortex well beyond the cortical regions normally recruited in the healthy brain. Site-directed biopsies from regions within the tumor that exhibit high functional connectivity between the tumor and the rest of the brain are enriched for a glioblastoma subpopulation that exhibits a distinct synaptogenic and neuronotrophic phenotype. Tumor cells from functionally connected regions secrete the synaptogenic factor thrombospondin-1, which contributes to the differential neuron-glioma interactions observed in functionally connected tumor regions compared to tumor regions with less functional connectivity. Pharmacological inhibition of thrombospondin-1 through the FDA-approved drug, gabapentin decreases glioblastoma proliferation. The degree of functional connectivity between glioblastoma and the normal brain negatively impacts both patient survival and language task performance. These data demonstrate that high-grade gliomas functionally remodel neural circuits in the human brain, which both promotes tumor progression and impairs cognition.

Glioma synapses recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity: Gene expression in SU-DIPG21 and SU-DIPG25 cell cultures

Project description:The nervous system plays an increasingly appreciated role in the regulation of cancer. In gliomas, neuronal activity drives tumor progression through paracrine signaling factors such as neuroligin-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and also through electrophysiologically functional neuron-to-glioma synapses mediated by AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid) receptors. The consequent glioma cell membrane depolarization drives tumor proliferation. In the healthy brain, activity-regulated secretion of BDNF promotes adaptive plasticity of synaptic connectivity and strength. Here, we show that malignant synapses exhibit similar plasticity regulated by BDNF. Signaling through the receptor TrkB (tropomyosin receptor kinase B), BDNF promotes AMPA receptor trafficking to the glioma cell membrane, resulting in increased amplitude of glutamate-evoked currents in the malignant cells. This potentiation of malignant synaptic strength shares mechanistic features with synaptic plasticity that contributes to memory and learning in the healthy brain. BDNF-TrkB signaling also regulates the number of neuron-to-glioma synapses. Abrogation of activity-regulated BDNF secretion from the brain microenvironment or loss of TrkB in human glioma cells robustly inhibits tumor progression. Blocking TrkB genetically or pharmacologically abrogates these effects of BDNF on glioma synapses and substantially prolongs survival in xenograft models of pediatric glioblastoma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Taken together, these findings indicate that BDNF-TrkB signaling promotes malignant synaptic plasticity and augments tumor progression.

GeneQuery RNA Profile of Trigeminal Ganglia from Tumor Burden and Tumor Naïve Mice

Project description:Cancer patients often experience changes in mental health, prompting an exploration into whether nerves infiltrating tumors contribute to these alterations by impacting brain functions. Using a mouse model for head and neck cancer and neuronal tracing we show that tumor-infiltrating nerves connect to distinct brain areas. The activation of this neuronal circuitry altered behaviors (decreased nest-building, increased latency to eat a cookie, and reduced wheel running). Tumor-infiltrating nociceptor neurons exhibited heightened calcium activity and brain regions receiving these neural projections showed elevated Fos as well as increased calcium responses compared to non-tumor-bearing counterparts.

Single Cell Spatial Analysis Reveals the Topology of Immunomodulatory Purinergic Signaling in Glioblastoma

Project description:Abstract from manuscript Glioblastoma develops an immunosuppressive microenvironment that fosters tumorigenesis and resistance to current therapeutic strategies. Here we use multiplexed tissue imaging and single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the composition, spatial organization, and clinical significance of extracellular purinergic signaling in glioblastoma. We show that glioblastoma exhibit strong expression of CD39 and CD73 ectoenzymes, correlating with increased adenosine levels. Microglia are the predominant source of CD39, while CD73 is principally expressed by tumor cells, particularly in tumors with amplification of EGFR and astrocyte-like differentiation. Spatially-resolved single-cell analyses demonstrate strong spatial correlation between tumor CD73 and microglial CD39, and that their spatial proximity is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Together, this data reveals that tumor CD73 expression correlates with tumor genotype, lineage differentiation, and functional states, and that core purine regulatory enzymes expressed by neoplastic and tumor-associated myeloid cells interact to promote a distinctive adenosine-rich signaling niche and immunosuppressive microenvironment potentially amenable to therapeutic targeting.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-technology to study the effects of human cytomegalovirus infection on neural differentiation

Project description:Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is one of the leading prenatal causes of mental retardation and congenital deformities world-wide. Access to cultured human neuronal lineages, necessary to understand the species specific pathogenic effects of HCMV has been limited by difficulties in sustaining primary cultures. Neuronal cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells now provide a novel opportunity to investigate HCMV pathogenesis. We derived iPS cells from human adult fibroblasts and induced neural lineages to investigate their permissiveness to infection with HCMV strain Ad169. Analysis of iPS cells and nearly pure populations of iPS-derived neural stem cells (NSCs), neuroprogenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons suggests that (i) iPS cells are not permissive to HCMV infection; (ii) Neural stem cells have impaired differentiation when infected by HCMV; (iii) NPCs are fully permissive for HCMV infection; the supernatant from infected neural stem cells and NPCs (but not mock infected cells) induced cytopathic effects in human fibroblasts; (iv) most iPS-derived neurons are not permissive to HCMV infection; and (v) infected neurons have impaired calcium influx in response to glutamate. Our approach offers powerful cellular models to investigate the effect of neurotropic viral agents on human neurodevelopment. Adherent monolayer culture of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) were either infected with HCMV Ad169 in triplicate, with each individual sample harvested separately to provide biological replicates for expression analysis. Infected and mock-infected cells were harvested 24 h p.i. RNA. NPCs were 70-80% confluence.

Identification of in vivo, conserved, TAF15 RNA binding sites and the impact of TAF15 on the neuronal transcriptome

Project description:TAF15, an RNA binding protein was recently implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. We report the identification of the conserved neuronal RNA targets of TAF15 and the assessment of the impact of TAF15 depletion on the neuronal transcriptome. Our study uncovers regulation of splicing of sets of neuronal RNAs encoding proteins with essential roles in synaptic activities including glutamergic receptors such as zeta-1 subunit of the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (Grin1). Identification of TAF15 neuronal targets using normal human brain samples and mouse neurons. Mouse background: E14Tg2a.4 wildtype cells derived from 129P2/OlaHsd.

Zika Virus Has Oncolytic Activity against Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Project description:We explored the utility of oncolytic virus therapy against glioblastoma with Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus that induces cell death and differentiation of neural precursor cells in the developing fetus. ZIKV preferentially infected and killed glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) relative to differentiated tumor progeny or normal neuronal cells. The effects against GSCs were not a general property of neurotropic flaviviruses, as West Nile Virus (WNV) indiscriminately killed both tumor and normal neural cells. ZIKV potently depleted patient-derived GSCs grown in culture and in organoids. Moreover, mice with glioblastoma survived substantially longer and at greater rates when the tumor was inoculated with a murine adapted strain of ZIKV. Our results suggest that ZIKV is an oncolytic virus that can preferentially target GSCs, and thus, genetically modified strains that further optimize safety could have therapeutic efficacy for adult glioblastoma patients.
