Project description:Glioma-derived stem-like cells (GSCs) are hypothesized to provide a repository of cells in tumors that can self-replicate and be resistant to radiation and chemotherapeutic agents developed for the treatment of tumors. The potential lack of response of GSCs to traditional cytotoxic and radiation therapies has significant implications for tumor biology and therapeutics. At M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, a large number of GSC lines representing several glioma sub-types have been isolated and characterized with respect to gene expression. In order to identify potential therapeutic targets relating to GSC phenotype, we examined protein expression in 35 GSC lines relative to an external protein standard using label-free quantitative proteomics. Samples were analyzed in triplicate by nanoLC-MS/MS (Orbitrap Elite, Thermo) in block-randomized groups of three GSCs plus the external standard. The resulting .raw files were aligned by group in Progenesis LC-MS (Nonlinear Dynamics). Database searching was performed with PEAKS 6 software (BSI) against a UniprotKB/SwissProt Human database appended with the cRAP contaminant database. Peptide intensities were exported for analysis in DanteR. The resulting relative fold changes were used to drive unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the cell lines for the purpose of classifying cell lines, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and the DAVID webtool were used to determine the biochemical pathways and biological processes impacted by protein changes in each cell line. Within IPA, Upstream Analysis was used to predict biological functions and transcriptional regulators whose increased or decreased activity was consistent with the observed fold changes, and the resulting upstream regulators with significant z-scores were exported for unsupervised hierarchical clustering. In addition to showing upstream regulators known to be associated with glioma, including Myc, tumor protein 53 (TP53), N-myc proto-oncogene protein (MYCN), two novel upstream regulators, synoviolin 1 (SYVN1) and interleukin 5 (IL5) were identified. A cluster of proteins found to be decreased relative to mixed control in mesenchymal cell lines was subjected to further bioinformatics analysis, identifying SRSF2 as a potential upstream regulator.

Project description:We demonstrate that the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, EZH2, is targeted by the MELK-FOXM1 complex, which in turn promotes resistance to radiation in GSCs. Clinically, EZH2 and MELK are co-expressed in GBM and significantly induced in post-irradiation recurrent tumors whose expression inversely correlated with patient prognosis. Through gain-and loss-of-function study, our data show that MELK or FOXM1 contributes on GSC radioresistance by regulation of EZH2. We used microarrays to validate EZH2 target gene expression. GSCs were treated with shNT (control), shMELK, shFOXM1, and EZH2 overexpression. Total RNA was isolated using the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen).

Project description:In late-onset sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent and strongest risk factor is the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE4). To investigate the pathophysiological effects of the APOE4 genotype in the human cellular context, we generated isogenic iPSC-derived astrocytes bearing APOE4 alleles from APOE3 control iPSC. Next, to identify astrocytic APOE4-specific secreted proteomes, we performed a mass spectrometry using culture media from human astrocytes carrying APOE3 or APOE4.

Project description:Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, we reprogrammed GBM derived cells (GBM-DCs) into embryonic-like cells termed as induced core-GSCs (ic-GSCs). The aim of this experiment was to characterize the transcriptomic profile of ic-GSCs using RNA-seq. For this experiment, we selected three biological replicates of GBM-DCs (GBM-DC1, GBM-DC2 and GBM-DC3) and three independent clonal lines of ic-GSCs (ic-GSC#1, ic-GSC#3 and ic-GSC#7).

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a uniformly lethal disease that is driven by GBM stem cells (GSCs). However, methods that selectively eradicate the GSCs remain limited. Here, we employed a chemical biology approach to identify novel compounds and strategies that target GSC proliferation, invasiveness and stemness. We studied the effect of sulconazole (SN) previously reportedly known as an antifungal drug. In GSCs SN inhibited multiple biotin-dependent carboxylases by competing with biotin, an important co-factor for these enzymes. Consequently, there was reduced carbon flux into the cholesterol biosynthesis and TCA cycle pathways, depleting intracellular cholesterol and impairing oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in impaired GSC proliferation. Notably, these metabolic changes were GSC-specific and undetected in SN treated mouse astrocytes. Thus, the pharmacologic inhibition of biotin-dependent carboxylases represents a viable therapy for GBM.

Project description:The cell identities of CD49f+GSCs were further identified by comparing them with the E11.5 PGCs and P2 GSCs. The transcriptomic analysis revealed that the CD49f+GSCs had 1/3 similar genes profile to the E11.5 PGCs and P2 GSCs. Further gene ontology (GO) analysis demonstrated that the E11.5 PGCs, P2 GSCs, and CD49f+GSCs shared the partial similar gene expression profile of pluripotency regulation signaling pathway, PI3K-AKT signaling, chemokine signaling, and HIF-1 signaling.

Project description:Tumor heterogeneity of high-grade glioma (HGG) is recognized by four clinically relevant subtypes based on core gene signatures. However, molecular signaling in glioma stem cells (GSCs) in individual HGG subtypes is poorly characterized. Here we identified and characterized two mutually exclusive GSC subtypes with distinct dysregulated signaling pathways. Analysis of mRNA profiles distinguished proneural (PN) from mesenchymal (Mes) GSCs and revealed a pronounced correlation with the corresponding PN or Mes HGGs. Mes GSCs displayed more aggressive phenotypes in vitro and as intracranial xenografts in mice. Further, Mes GSCs were markedly resistant to radiation compared with PN GSCs. The glycolytic pathway, comprising aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family genes and in particular ALDH1A3, were enriched in Mes GSCs. Glycolytic activity and ALDH activity were significantly elevated in Mes GSCs but not in PN GSCs. Expression of ALDH1A3 was also increased in clinical HGG compared with low-grade glioma or normal brain tissue. Moreover, inhibition of ALDH1A3 attenuated the growth of Mes but not PN GSCs. Last, radiation treatment of PN GSCs up-regulated Mes-associated markers and downregulated PN-associated markers, whereas inhibition of ALDH1A3 attenuated an irradiation-induced gain of Mes identity in PN GSCs. Taken together, our data suggest that two subtypes of GSCs, harboring distinct metabolic signaling pathways, represent intertumoral glioma heterogeneity and highlight previously unidentified roles of ALDH1A3-associated signaling that promotes aberrant proliferation of Mes HGGs and GSCs. Inhibition of ALDH1A3- mediated pathways therefore might provide a promising therapeutic approach for a subset of HGGs with the Mes signature.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor in adults with a median survival of around 15 months. A potential treatment strategy involves targeting glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) that are able to initiate, maintain, and repopulate the tumor mass. Here, we identify ACT001, a parthenolide derivative, targeting GSCs through regulation of adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) signaling.GSCs exhibit high response to ACT001 in compared with normal human astrocytes. AEBP1 is a putative target of ACT001 by RNA-Seq analysis, which expression associates with prognosis of GBM patients. Knockdown of AEBP1 inhibits GSC proliferation whereas ectopic expression of AEBP1 increases GSC proliferation and xenograft tumor growth. AEBP1 overexpression also attenuates ATC001-inhibited GSC orthotopic xenograft tumor growth. Treatment with ACT001 or PI3K inhibitor or AEBP1 depletion decreases AKT phosphorylation and GSC proliferation. However, constitutive AKT activation rescues ACT001 treatment or AEBP1 knockdown-inhibited cell proliferation. Additionally, ACT001 blocks TGF-β-activated AEBP1/AKT signaling in GSCs. ACT001 exhibits antitumor activity either as a single agent or in combination with SHP099, which provides significant survival benefits for GSC xenograft tumor -bearing animals.
