Project description:Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor. Clinically relevant biomarkers are restricted to isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene 1 or 2 mutation and O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) alterations may contribute to glioblastoma pathogenesis and potentially serve as novel biomarkers. The clinical significance of HOXA Transcript Antisense RNA, Myeloid-Specific 1 (HOTAIRM1) was analyzed in multiple glioblastoma gene expression data sets for associations with prognosis and IDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation status. The role of HOTAIRM1 in glioblastoma biology and radiotherapy resistance was characterized in vitro and in vivo. We identified HOTAIRM1 as a candidate lncRNA whose up-regulation is significantly associated with shorter survival of glioblastoma patients independent from IDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation. Glioblastoma cell line models uniformly showed reduced cell viability, less invasive growth and diminished colony formation capacity upon HOTAIRM1 down-regulation. Integrated proteogenomic analyses and determination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels revealed impaired mitochondrial function and increased ROS levels upon HOTAIRM1 knock-down. HOTAIRM1 knock-down decreased expression of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) as a candidate protein implicated in mitochondrial function, and knock-down of TGM2 mimicked the phenotype of HOTAIRM1 down-regulation in glioblastoma cells. Moreover, HOTAIRM1 modulates radiosensitivity of glioblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Our data support a role for HOTAIRM1 as a driver of biological aggressiveness, radioresistance and poor outcome in glioblastoma. Targeting HOTAIRM1 may be a promising new therapeutic approach.
Project description:We aimed to identify a clinically useful biomarker using DNA methylation-based information to optimize the management of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. We identified a novel six-CpGs signature that predicts the clinical outcome in GBM. The methylation profiling of 79 GBM patients has been used as a validation cohort to demonstrate the performance and the robustness of the identified six-CpGs signature. The status of the âMGMTâ biomarker, traditionally used by clinicians to predict survival in GBM, is also indicated per sample.
Project description:DNA methylation analysis of 68 glioblastoma specimen of patients treated within clinical trials, 5 samples of normal brain tissue (non-tumor brain) and 4 tumor-derived glioma sphere lines. The data was used to identify changes in DNA methylation which contribute to the aberrant of expression of HOX transcription factors. Our group had previously demonstrated that expression of HOX genes was associated with increased resistance to chemo-radiotherapy and worse outcome in GBM patients Keywords: Disease state comparison Bisulphite converted genomic DNA from the 77 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450 Human Methylation Beadchip

Project description:Whole genome sequencing revealed CLL as a disease of the genome and epigenome defined by somatic mutations and aberrant DNA-methylation. To uncover the impact of aberrant methylation on transcription, gene expression and methylation array profiling was performed in CLL and B-cells. DNA from 13 CLL patients and 6 healthy donor samples was analyzed using MCIp-array. Custom made agilent promoter-arrays were used for analysis.
Project description:The aim of ths study is to compare global methylation status between 1) IDH1 mutant and IDH1/2 wild-type glioblastoma tumorsphere cells and 2) MGG152 (IDH1 mutant) with DMSO and IDH1 inhibitor treatment. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of patient derived glioblastoma tumorsphere and HT1080 cells. The Illumina Infinium Human DNA methylation Beadchip450 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles.
