Full textAbstract:
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) family is involved in tumorigenesis and the development of multiple cancers. However, little is known about the prognostic value and regulatory mechanisms of IGFBPs in GBM. Oncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, PrognoScan, cBioPortal, LinkedOmics, TIMER, and TISIDB were used to analyze the differential expression, prognostic value, genetic alteration, biological function, and immune cell infiltration of IGFBPs in GBM. We observed that IGFBP1, IGFBP2, IGFBP3, IGFBP4, and IGFBP5 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in patients with GBM, whereas IGFBP6 was downregulated; this difference in mRNA expression was statistically insignificant. Subsequent investigations showed that IGFBP4 and IGFBP6 mRNA levels were significantly associated with overall survival in patients with GBM. Functional Gene Ontology Annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that genes coexpressed with IGFBP4 and IGFBP6 were mainly enriched in immune-related pathways. These results were validated using the TIMER and TSMIDB databases. This study demonstrated that the IGFBP family has prognostic value in patients with GBM. IGFBP4 and IGFBP6 are two members of the IGFBP family that had the highest prognostic value; thus, they have the potential to serve as survival predictors and immunotherapeutic targets in GBM.

Background Prognosis models established using multiple molecular markers in cancer along with clinical variables should enable prediction of natural disease progression and residual risk faced by patients. In this study, multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses were done based on overall survival (OS) of 100 glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs, 92 events), 49 anaplastic astrocytomas (AAs, 33 events), 45 gliomas with oligodendroglial features, including anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO, 13 events) and oligodendraglioma (O, 9 events). The modeling included two clinical variables (patient age and recurrence at the time of sample collection) and the expression variables of 13 genes selected based on their proven biological and/or prognosis functions in gliomas ( ABCG2, BMI1, MELK, MSI1, PROM1, CDK4, EGFR, MMP2, VEGFA, PAX6, PTEN, RPS9, and IGFBP2). Gene expression data was a log-transformed ratio of marker and reference ( ACTB) mRNA levels quantified using absolute real-time qRT-PCR. Results Age is positively associated with overall grade (4 for GBM, 3 for AA, 2_1 for AO_O), but lacks significant prognostic value in each grade. Recurrence is an unfavorable prognostic factor for AA, but lacks significant prognostic values for GBM and AO_O. Univariate models revealed opposing prognostic effects of ABCG2, MELK, BMI1, PROM1, IGFBP2, PAX6, RPS9, and MSI1 expressions for astrocytic (GBM and AA) and oligodendroglial tumors (AO_O). Multivariate models revealed independent prognostic values for the expressions of MSI1 (unfavorable) in GBM, CDK4 (unfavorable) and MMP2 (favorable) in AA, while IGFBP2 and MELK (unfavorable) in AO_O. With all 13 genes and 2 clinical variables, the model R 2 was 14.2% ( P= 0.358) for GBM, 45.2% ( P= 0.029) for AA, and 62.2% ( P= 0.008) for AO_O. Conclusion The study signifies the challenge in establishing a significant prognosis model for GBM. Our success in establishing prognosis models for AA and AO_O was largely based on identification of a set of genes with independent prognostic values and application of standardized gene expression quantification to allow formation of a large cohort in analysis.

Previous studies have found that gene expression levels are associated with prognosis and some genes can be used to predict the survival risk of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. However, most of them just built the survival-related gene signature, and personal survival risk can be evaluated only in group. This study aimed to find the prognostic survival related genes of GBM, and construct survival risk prediction model, which can be used to evaluate survival risk by individual. We collected gene expression data and clinical information from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. Cox regression analysis and LASSO-cox regression analysis were performed to get survival-related genes and establish the overall survival prediction model. The ROC curve and Kaplan Meier analysis were used to evaluate the prediction ability of the model in training set and two independent cohorts. We also analyzed the biological functions of survival-related genes by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. We identified 99 genes associated with overall survival and selected 16 genes (IGFBP2, GPRASP1, C1R, CHRM3, CLSTN2, NELL1, SEZ6L2, NMB, ICAM5, HPCAL4, SNAP91, PCSK1N, PGBD5, INA, UCHL1 and LHX6) to establish the survival risk prediction model. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicted that the risk score could predict overall survival independent of age and gender. ROC analyses showed that our model was more robust than four existing signatures. The sixteen genes can also be potential transcriptional biomarkers and the model can assist doctors on clinical decision-making and personalized treatment of GBM patients.

20008 Background: Biomarkers in serum has been demonstrated to play a critical role in caner diagnostics. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a primary brain tumor with poor prognosis and low survival rate, which often has significant heterogeneity in morphology and increased vascular permeability and vessel density. In this study we identified molecules related to angiogenesis and vasculature development for GBM using a combination of contrast enhanced MR imaging, genomic and proteomic analysis, and enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Methods: GBM patient without any prior procedures were scanned on a GE 1.5T MRI scanner using standard T1- and T2-weighted pulse sequences and gadopentetate dimeglumine as contrast agent. Samples from regions with contrast agent accumulation (contrast-enhancing, CE) and no uptake (non-enhancing, NE) were collected for microarray, Mass spectroscopic analysis and immunochemical staining. Patient serum samples were collected for protein expression quantification using ELISA assay. Results: Tissue samples from the CE and NE regions of 13 patients reveal significantly distinct gene expression patterns. Mass spectroscopy using MALDI system will also be examined. Growth factors such as laminin receptor, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-5, aFGF were all up-regulated in the CE regions, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed their protein expression. The presence of proteins with MW < 30 kD in the serum were examined using ELISA. IGFBP-2 showed to have a higher mean value (86.1 ± 29.1 ng/ml) in GBM serum as compared to healthy individuals (55.7 ± 9.9 ng/ml). Other potential markers such as IGFBP-3 and aFGF do not exhibit significant difference. Conclusions: CE-MRI using the clinical MRI agent Gd(DTPA) can reveal imaging features associated with increased vascular permeability and vessel density, and areas of fluid accumulation and necrosis. We have observed that differences in spatial resolution in the tumor correlate to changes in gene expression profiles, resulting in potential molecules that have high gene and protein expression levels in tumor area with high vascular activity and in serum. These targets can be used for diagnostic and clinical monitoring of the patient before and after therapeutic intervention. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant of all known intracranial tumors; meanwhile, most patients have a poor prognosis. In order to improve the poor prognosis of GBM patients as much as possible, it is specifically significant to identify biomarkers related to the gene diagnosis and gene therapy. Methods. In this study, a total of 343 GBM specimens and 259 nontumor specimens were collected from four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database; then, we analyzed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the above data. Through Venn diagram analysis, 54 common upregulated DEGs and 22 common downregulated DEGs were triumphantly recognized. Results. On the basis of the degree of formation communication in protein-protein interaction network (PPIN), the 10 upregulated central genes were ranked, incorporating LOX, IGFBP3, CD44, TIMP1, FN1, VEGFA, POSTN, COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1. By combining the expression levels and the clinical features of GBM, we found that four hub genes (TIMP1, FN1, POSTN, and LOX) were significantly upregulated and related to poor prognosis of GBM. Meanwhile, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that TIMP1 could be one of the independent prognostic factors for GBM patients. Furthermore, TIMP1 was particularly correlated with the immune marker of macrophage M1, macrophage M2, neutrophils, tumor-associated macrophage, and Tregs. We then analyzed the role of TIMP1 in GBM cancer cell lines by relevant experiments, which indicated that TIMP1 knockdown resulted in the decreased cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Conclusions. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that TIMP1 might be a new biomarker to determine prognosis and immune infiltration of GBM patients.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Despite advances in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), the prognosis of patients continues to remain dismal. This unfavorable prognosis is mainly attributed to the tumor's propensity for progression and recurrence, which in turn is due to the highly aggressive nature of the persisting GBM cells that actively egress from the main tumor mass into the surrounding normal brain tissue. Such a recurrent tumor described to have a more malignant potential is highly invasive and resistant to current therapies, probably due to increased stemness and preferential selection of therapy-resistant clones of tumor cells. However, there is a paucity of literature on the expression of biomarkers in the recurrent GBM tumors that could have a role in conferring this aggressiveness. Aim: To identify the differences in the expression pattern of selected biomarkers in paired tissue samples of GBM. Material and Methods: A retrospective study on 30 paired samples of GBM (newly diagnosed/primary and recurrent) archived in the Department of Neuropathology, NIMHANS (2006–2009), was carried out. After obtaining clinical and demographic details, tumors were characterized histomorphologically and immunohistochemically on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues with reference to expression of biomarkers such as p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2), and topoisomerase 2 A (Top2A). The results were statistically analyzed. Results: It was observed that while p53 and IGFBP-3 expression remained unaltered in paired samples, a significant increase in the expression of EGFR (P < 0.01) was noted in the recurrent tumors. Among the other biomarkers, SOX2 expression was higher in the recurrent tumors when compared to the primary tumors (P < 0.01). Conversely, the expression of Top2A was reduced in recurrent tumors (P = 0.05). Mild elevation in the expression of IGFBP-3 was observed in recurrent tumors but was not statistically significant. Conclusion: A significant increase in the expression of SOX2 in recurrent tumors probably indicates the presence of undifferentiated cells with stem-like properties in these tumors. EGFR is known to mediate SOX2 expression thereby resulting in stemness of the glioma cancer cells, which could further explain its overexpression in recurrent GBMs. Furthermore, a decreased expression of TOP2A observed in the recurrent tumors could probably be due to reduction in chemosensitivity to temozolomide, which has been shown in earlier studies. We also noted that p53 expression remained unaltered in the recurrent tumors when compared to the primary, suggesting the absence of preferential clonal expansion of p53 mutant cells following exposure to radiochemotherapy. Our study reiterates the fact that GBM recurrences are associated with molecular alterations that probably contribute to radiochemoresistance, increased invasiveness, therapeutic efficacy, and stemness.

Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly, malignant tumor of the primary central nervous system. Patients diagnosed with this type of tumor have a poor prognosis. Lymphocyte activation plays important roles in the development of cancers and its therapeutic treatments. Objective We sought to identify an efficient lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature that could predict the progression and prognosis of GBM. Methods We used univariate Cox proportional hazards regression and stepwise regression algorithm to develop a lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature in the training dataset (TCGA, n = 525). Then, the signature was validated in two datasets, including GSE16011 (n = 150) and GSE13041 (n = 191) using the Kaplan Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to adjust for clinicopathological factors. Results We identified a lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature (TCF3, IGFBP2, TYRO3 and NOD2) in the training dataset and classified the patients into high-risk and low-risk groups with significant differences in overall survival (median survival 15.33 months vs 12.57 months, HR = 1.55, 95% CI [1.28–1.87], log-rank test P < 0.001). This signature showed similar prognostic values in the other two datasets. Further, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models analysis indicated that the signature was an independent prognostic factor for GBM patients. Moreover, we determined that there were differences in lymphocyte activity between the high- and low-risk groups of GBM patients among all datasets. Furthermore, the lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature could significantly predict the survival of patients with certain features, including IDH-wildtype patients and patients undergoing radiotherapy. In addition, the signature may also improve the prognostic power of age. Conclusions In summary, our results suggested that the lymphocyte activation-associated gene signature is a promising factor for the survival of patients, which is helpful for the prognosis of GBM patients.

Deregulation of signalling pathways that regulate cell growth, survival, metabolism, and migration can frequently lead to the progression of cancer. Brain tumours are a large group of malignancies characterised by inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, with glioblastoma (GBM) being the most aggressive and fatal. The present study aimed to characterise the expression of cancer pathway-related genes (n = 84) in glial tumour cell lines (A172, SW1088, and T98G). The transcriptomic data obtained by the qRT-PCR method were compared to different control groups, and the most appropriate control for subsequent interpretation of the obtained results was chosen. We analysed three widely used control groups (non-glioma cells) in glioblastoma research: Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDFa), Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA), and commercially available mRNAs extracted from healthy human brain tissues (hRNA). The gene expression profiles of individual glioblastoma cell lines may vary due to the selection of a different control group to correlate with. Moreover, we present the original multicriterial decision making (MCDM) for the possible characterization of gene expression profiles. We observed deregulation of 75 genes out of 78 tested in the A172 cell line, while T98G and SW1088 cells exhibited changes in 72 genes. By comparing the delta cycle threshold value of the tumour groups to the mean value of the three controls, only changes in the expression of 26 genes belonging to the following pathways were identified: angiogenesis FGF2; apoptosis APAF1, CFLAR, XIAP; cellular senescence BM1, ETS2, IGFBP5, IGFBP7, SOD1, TBX2; DNA damage and repair ERCC5, PPP1R15A; epithelial to mesenchymal transition SNAI3, SOX10; hypoxia ADM, ARNT, LDHA; metabolism ATP5A1, COX5A, CPT2, PFKL, UQCRFS1; telomeres and telomerase PINX1, TINF2, TNKS, and TNKS2. We identified a human astrocyte cell line and normal human brain tissue as the appropriate control group for an in vitro model, despite the small sample size. A different method of assessing gene expression levels produced the same disparities, highlighting the need for caution when interpreting the accuracy of tumorigenesis markers.

Abstract Standard aggressive therapy for primary newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM), which includes surgical resection followed by concurrent radiation therapy and temozolomide chemotherapy (RT/TMZ) and then maintenance TMZ, is associated with poor survival rates. Adding treatment with AV-GBM-1, a personal vaccine consisting of autologous dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with autologous tumor antigens (ATA) may improve survival. AV-GBM-1 is produced by incubating ATA with autologous DC. ATA are from a lysate of irradiated autologous GBM cells that were self-renewing in serum-free medium with factors that favor survival and proliferation of tumor initiating cells, i.e., stem cells and early progenitor cells. After recovery from RT/TMZ, GBM patients were injected subcutaneously with AV-GBM-1 admixed in granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) at weeks 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. This study examined changes in plasma proteomics before and after injections of AV-GBM-1. 57 patients were treated during November 2018 to October 2020. Median progression-free and overall survival were 10.3 and 16.0 months respectively. Plasma samples obtained at baseline (week-0), and just prior to the third injection (week-2) were cryopreserved and subsequently analyzed for 448 proteomic markers using quantitative, multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (Raybiotech, Inc., Norcross, GA.). 54 patients had a baseline week-0 sample prior to the 1st vaccination; 50 had a week-2 sample just prior to the 3rd dose; 49 had paired samples for both time-points. The averages of paired samples were measured for all patients and for cohorts defined by median survival that were compared by 2-tail T-Tests. After two weekly injections there were significant (p<0.01) increases in thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC, CCL17), chemerin, lipocalin-2 and angiopoietin, and decreases in thrombospondin-5, angiotensinogen, and beta-fibroblast growth factor. The changes in TARC are due to GM-CSF. 25 patients survived more than 15 months and 24 less than 15 months. Prognostic baseline markers associated with longer survival were higher CD14 (p=0.009), higher tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1), and higher insulin growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) 1 and 2 (p<0.02). The only markers that appeared predictive for survival (p<0.05) based on changes from baseline to week-2 were increased lipocalin-2, associated with longer survival (p=0.0369), and decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) associated with shorter survival (p=0.0186). Because of the large number of analyses, these results are considered hypothesis generating and not definitive. Citation Format: Daniela A. Bota, David E. Piccioni, Christopher M. Duma, Renato V.

Abstract We previously reported a novel fusion gene PTPRZ1-MET in 15% of secondary GBM (sGBM). Subsequent studies showed that ZM fusion indicates a significantly worse prognosis and promotes glioma progression by increasing MET activity. We have demonstrated hyper-activation of MAPK and STAT3 signaling and elevated angiogenesis activities in patients and subcutaneous tumors with ZM fusion. However, the angiogenesis mechanism regulated by ZM is still unclear. In this study, 66 up-regulated and 66 down-regulated genes were identified on 8 sGBMs with ZM fusion comparing gene expression with 135 negative sGBMs (fold-change >2.5 & p.value < 0.05). ZM-harboring U87 MG xenograft models were conducted and RNA sequencing was performed in 3 subcutaneous tumors with ZM-harboring U87 MG and 3 negative control. 384 up-regulated and 698 down-regulated genes were identified on 3 ZM-harboring samples comparing gene expression with 3 negative control samples (fold-change >2.5 & p.value < 0.05. Three subcutaneous tumors with ZM-harboring U87 MG were treated by a MET kinase inhibitor, PLB-1001. Finally, the expression of 13 up-regulated gene decreased and 10 down-regulated genes increased after treatment by PLB-1001. We overlapped the candidate genes between patient samples and subcutaneous tumors and 5 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated genes was appeared and most associated with ZM fusion. Prognostic analysis of 9 candidate genes on sGBM revealed that a higher expression of IGF2BP3 indicates a worse prognosis. In further study, we found that IGF2BP3 can be secreted out of the gliomas stem cells (GSCs) and promote proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and the expression of CD31. IGF2BP3 siRNA can block this pathway and inhibit the angiogenesis. Conclusion, our study demonstrated a new pathway promoting angiogenesis in gliomas. But the regulating mechanism between ZM fusion gene and IGF2BP3 deserves to do further research.

AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been identified to exert critical roles in human cancer; however, the regulation of m6A modification on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CASC9 (cancer susceptibility 9) is still unclear. Firstly, MeRIP-Seq revealed the m6A profile in the GBM. Moreover, the m6A-related lncRNA CASC9 expression was significantly elevated in the GBM tissue and its ectopic high expression was associated with poor survival, acting as an independent prognostic factor for GBM patients. Functionally, the aerobic glycolysis was promoted in the CASC9 overexpression transfection, which was inhibited in CASC9 knockdown in GBM cells. Mechanistically, m6A reader IGF2BP2 (insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2) could recognize the m6A site of CASC9 and enhance its stability, then CASC9 cooperated with IGF2BP2, forming an IGF2BP2/CASC9 complex, to increase the HK2 (Hexokinase 2) mRNA stability. Our findings reveal that CASC9/IGF2BP2/HK2 axis promotes the aerobic glycolysis of GBM.

AbstractLactic acidosis has been reported in solid tumor microenvironment (TME) including glioblastoma (GBM). In TME, several signaling molecules, growth factors and metabolites have been identified to induce resistance to chemotherapy and to sustain immune escape. In the early phases of the disease, microglia infiltrates TME, contributing to tumorigenesis rather than counteracting its growth. Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 6 (IGFBP6) is expressed during tumor development, and it is involved in migration, immune-escape and inflammation, thus providing an attractive target for GBM therapy. Here, we aimed at investigating the crosstalk between lactate metabolism and IGFBP6 in TME and GBM progression. Our results show that microglia exposed to lactate or IGFBP6 significantly increased the Monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) expression together with genes involved in mitochondrial metabolism. We, also, observed an increase in the M2 markers and a reduction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels, suggesting a role of lactate/IGFBP6 metabolism in immune-escape activation. GBM cells exposed to lactate also showed increased levels of IGFBP6 and vice-versa. Such a phenomenon was coupled with a IGFBP6-mediated sonic hedgehog (SHH) ignaling increase. We, finally, tested our hypothesis in a GBM zebrafish animal model, where we observed an increase in microglia cells and igfbp6 gene expression after lactate exposure. Our results were confirmed by the analysis of human transcriptomes datasets and immunohistochemical assay from human GBM biopsies, suggesting the existence of a lactate/IGFBP6 crosstalk in microglial cells, so that IGFBP6 expression is regulated by lactate production in GBM cells and in turn modulates microglia polarization.

BackgroundRecent studies have reported that IGF2BP3 is linked to the pathogenesis of various malignancies. Since IGF2BP3 is associated with poor outcomes of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC), we aimed to explore the association between its N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation and GBC progression.MethodsBioinformatic analysis of GSE136982, GSE104165, and RNA-seq was performed. In vitro and in vivo gain- and loss-of-function assays were done. qPCR, Western blotting, and IHC were conducted in cells or in collected clinical tissue samples. RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA stability measurement, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed in this study.ResultsThe expression of IGF2BP3 was higher in GBC tissues than in peritumoral tissues. Functions such as cell proliferation and migration, both in vitro and in vivo, were inhibited by downregulation of IGF2BP3. The analysis of RNA-seq indicated that KLK5 was a downstream target of IGF2BP3. The expression of KLK5 was measured in GBC cells and tumor samples. It was found to be positively correlated with IGF2BP3 level. Upon IGF2BP3 depletion, ectopic expression of KLK5 could rescue cell function in part. Mechanistically, we found that IGF2BP3 directly binds to KLK5 mRNA and regulates its stability in an m6A-dependent manner. As a result, inhibition of KLK5 decreased the expression of PAR2, and deregulated phospho-Akt. Using bioinformatic prediction combined with miRNA microarray analysis, we identified that let-7g-5p is an inhibitor of IGF2BP3, and let-7g-5p expression was negatively correlated with IGF2BP3. Overexpression of let-7g-5p affected the aggressive phenotype of GBC cells by deregulating IGF2BP3, and inhibiting the KLK5/PAR2/AKT axis.ConclusionsOur data showed that IGF2BP3 is associated with the aggressive phenotype of GBC. Mechanistically, IGF2BP3 activated the PAR2/AKT axis by stabilizing KLK5 mRNA in an m6A-dependent manner. The loss of let-7g-5p enhanced the expression of IGF2BP3 and improved GBC progression. Thus, IGF2BP3 plays a crucial role in GBC, and the let-7g-5p/IGF2BP3/KLK5/PAR2 axis may be a therapeutic target for GBC.

Abstract Background Driver genes of GBM may be crucial for the onset of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype (WT) glioblastoma (GBM). However, it is still unknown whether the genes are expressed in the identical cluster of cells. Here, we have examined the gene expression patterns of GBM tissues and patient-derived tumorspheres (TSs) and aimed to find a progression-related gene. Methods We retrospectively collected primary IDH-WT GBM tissue samples (n = 58) and tumor-free cortical tissue samples (control, n = 20). TSs are isolated from the IDH-WT GBM tissue with B27 neurobasal medium. Associations among the driver genes were explored in the bulk tissue, bulk cell, and a single cell RNAsequencing techniques (scRNAseq) considering the alteration status of TP53, PTEN, EGFR, and TERT promoter as well as MGMT promoter methylation. Transcriptomic perturbation by temozolomide (TMZ) was examined in the two TSs. Results We comprehensively compared the gene expression of the known driver genes as well as MGMT, PTPRZ1, or IDH1. Bulk RNAseq databases of the primary GBM tissue revealed a significant association between TERT and TP53 (p < 0.001, R = 0.28) and its association increased in the recurrent tumor (p < 0.001, R = 0.86). TSs reflected the tissue-level patterns of association between the two genes (p < 0.01, R = 0.59, n = 20). A scRNAseq data of a TS revealed the TERT and TP53 expressing cells are in a same single cell cluster. The driver-enriched cluster dominantly expressed the glioma-associated long noncoding RNAs. Most of the driver-associated genes were downregulated after TMZ except IGFBP5. Conclusions GBM tissue level expression patterns of EGFR, TERT, PTEN, IDH1, PTPRZ1, and MGMT are observed in the GBM TSs. The driver gene-associated cluster of the GBM single cells were enriched with the glioma-associated long noncoding RNAs.

AbstractGlioblastoma (GBM) is a grade IV glioma highly aggressive and refractory to the therapeutic approaches currently in use. O-GlcNAcylation plays a key role for tumor aggressiveness and progression in different types of cancer; however, experimental evidence of its involvement in GBM are still lacking. Here, we show that O-GlcNAcylation plays a critical role in maintaining the composition of the GBM secretome, whereas inhibition of OGA activity disrupts the intercellular signaling via microvesicles. Using a label-free quantitative proteomics methodology, we identified 51 proteins in the GBM secretome whose abundance was significantly altered by activity inhibition of O-GlcNAcase (iOGA). Among these proteins, we observed that proteins related to proteasome activity and to regulation of immune response in the tumor microenvironment were consistently downregulated in GBM cells upon iOGA. While the proteins IGFBP3, IL-6 and HSPA5 were downregulated in GBM iOGA cells, the protein SQSTM1/p62 was exclusively found in GBM cells under iOGA. These findings were in line with literature evidence on the role of p62/IL-6 signaling axis in suppressing tumor aggressiveness and our experimental evidence showing a decrease in radioresistance potential of these cells. Taken together, our findings provide evidence that OGA activity may regulate the p62 and IL-6 abundance in the GBM secretome. We propose that the assessment of tumor status from the main proteins present in its secretome may contribute to the advancement of diagnostic, prognostic and even therapeutic tools to approach this relevant malignancy.

m6A RNA methylation regulators can regulate the growth, progression, and invasion of glioma cells by regulating their target genes, which provides a reliable support for the m6A regulator–target axes as the novel therapeutic targets and clinical prognostic signature in glioma. This study aimed to explore the role and prognostic value of m6A RNA methylation regulators and their targets. Expression profiles and clinicopathological data were obtained from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Clinical Proteome Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) datasets. Differential expression and correlation analyses were performed between normal and glioma tissues at mRNA and protein levels. Univariate Cox regression, survival, and Lasso Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify and establish the prognostic gene signature. Kaplan–Meier curve, multivariate Cox regression analysis, and ROC were utilized to evaluate the prognostic capacity of the prognostic gene signature. The correlation analysis, systematic bioinformatics analysis, and cell experiment were performed to further understand the potential underlying molecular mechanisms and drug sensitivity. Our results suggested that IGF2BP2, KIAA1429, METTL16, and METTL3, as well as 208 targets are involved in the occurrence of glioma, GBM, and LGG. YTHDF1 and 78 targets involved the occurrence of glioma and GBM, not LGG, among which 181 genes were associated with overall survival. From other findings and our cell experiment results, we demonstrated that METTL3 can activate Notch pathway and facilitate glioma occurrence through regulating its direct targets NOTCH3, DLL3, and HES1, and Notch pathway genes may serve as the potential treatment targets for glioma. Our study established and validated a seven-gene signature comprising METTL3, COL18A1, NASP, PHLPP2, TIMP1, U2AF2, and VEGFA, with a good capability for predicting glioma survival, which may guide therapeutic customization and clinical decision-making. These genes were identified to influence 81 anticancer drug responses, which further contributes to the early phase clinical trials of drug development.

The purpose of this study was to explore platinum resistance-related biomarkers and mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma. Through the analysis of gene expression data of lung adenocarcinoma patients and normal patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus database, and A database of genes related to platinum resistance, platinum resistance genes in lung adenocarcinoma and platinum resistance-related differentially expressed genes were obtained. After screening by a statistical significance threshold, a total of 252 genes were defined as platinum resistance genes with significant differential expression, of which 161 were up-regulated and 91 were down-regulated. The enrichment results of up-regulated gene Gene Ontology (GO) showed that TOP3 entries related to biological processes (BP) were double-strand break repair, DNA recombination, DNA replication, the down-regulated gene GO enriches the TOP3 items about biological processes (BP) as a response to lipopolysaccharide, muscle cell proliferation, response to molecule of bacterial origin. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis showed that the top three were e2f targets, g2m checkpoint, and rgf beta signaling. A prognostic model based on non-negative matrix factorization classification showed the characteristics of high- and low-risk groups. The prognostic model established by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and risk factor analysis showed that genes such as HOXB7, NT5E, and KRT18 were positively correlated with risk score. By analyzing the differences in m6A regulatory factors between high- and low-risk groups, it was found that FTO, GPM6A, METTL3, and YTHDC2 were higher in the low-risk group, while HNRNPA2B1, HNRNPC, TGF2BP1, IGF2BP2, IGF2BP3, and RBM15B were higher in the high-risk group. Immune infiltration and drug sensitivity analysis also showed the gene characteristics of the platinum-resistant population in lung adenocarcinoma. ceRNA analysis showed that has-miR-374a-5p and RP6-24A23.7 were lower in the tumor expression group, and that the survival of the low expression group was worse than that of the high expression group. In conclusion, the results of this study show that platinum resistance-related differentially expressed genes in lung adenocarcinoma are mainly concentrated in biological processes such as DNA recombination and response to lipopolysaccharide. The validation set proved that the high-risk group of our prognostic model had poor survival. M6A regulatory factor analysis, immune infiltration, and drug sensitivity analysis all showed differences between high and low-risk groups. ceRNA analysis showed that has-miR-374a-5p and RP6-24A23.7 could be protective factors. Further exploration of the potential impact of these genes on the risk and prognosis of drug-resistant patients with lung adenocarcinoma would provide theoretical support for future research.
