Neural Precursor Cell-Derived Pleiotrophin Mediates Glioma Invasion of the Subventricular Zone

ABSTRACT: The lateral ventricle subventricular zone (SVZ) is a frequent and consequential site of pediatric and adult glioma spread, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating this are poorly understood. We demonstrate that neural precursor cell (NPC):glioma cell communication underpins this propensity of glioma to colonize the SVZ through secretion of chemoattractant signals toward which glioma cells home. Biochemical, proteomic, and functional analyses of SVZ NPC-secreted factors revealed the neurite outgrowth-promoting factor pleiotrophin, along with required binding partners SPARC/SPARCL1 and HSP90B, as key mediators of this chemoattractant effect. Pleiotrophin expression is strongly enriched in the SVZ, and pleiotrophin knockdown starkly reduced glioma invasion of the SVZ in the murine brain. Pleiotrophin, in complex with the binding partners and signaling through the receptor PTPRZ1, activated glioma Rho/ROCK signaling, and ROCK inhibition decreased invasion toward SVZ NPC-secreted factors. These findings demonstrate a pathogenic role for NPC:glioma interactions and potential therapeutic targets to limit glioma invasion.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is known for its high metastatic potential. From genomic expression profiles comparing clones derived from the NPC cell line CNE-2, serglycin (SRGN) was identified as one of the most up-regulated genes in the high-metastasis clone. Serglycin protein was secreted by the high-metastasis clone, but not by any of the low-metastasis clones. Suppression of serglycin by shRNA diminished serglycin secretion and subsequently inhibited the migration and invasion of high-metastasis clone, and also reduced its metastasis rate in vivo. Overexpression of serglycin in low-metastasis cells resulted in an increased metastasis rate in vivo. Moreover, secreted serglycin promoted cellular motility in the wild-type low-metastasis cells. Interestingly, suppression of serglycin reduced the protein level of vimentin but did not influence the level of E-cadherin in high-metastasis clone. Proliferation was not influenced by serglycin in both high-and low-metastasis clones. Clinically, serglycin expression was significantly elevated in liver metastases from NPC relative to its expression in primary tumors. The prognostic value of serglycin was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays of NPC tissues from 263 patients, followed by multivariate analyses. A high level of serglycin expression in primary NPC was found to be an independent unfavorable indicator for distant-metastasis-free survival and disease-free survival. In summary, serglycin regulates NPC metastasis via autocrine and paracrine means without influencing proliferation, and it serves as a prognostic indicator of metastasis-free survival and disease-free survival for NPC patients. Keywords: Gene Expression experiment High-metastasis clone (S18) and low-metastasis clones (S22 and S26) together with their parental line CNE-2 were subjected for gene expression profiling to identify the genes highly expressed in high-metastasis clone. To explore the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this important biological behavior, we performed genomic expression profiling of these four cell lines from in vitro cultured cells, as well as in vivo xenograft tumors generated in nude mice by subcutaneous injection of the cells into the BALB/c (nu/nu) female mice. Briefly, 1 × 10^5 cells were subcutaneously injected into the left flank of a nude mouse, and the tumors were collected when their volume was 150-250 mm^3.
