CCNB2/SASP/Cathepsin B & PGE2 Axis Induce Cell Senescence Mediated Malignant Transformation.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most frequent and aggressive adult brain tumor with maximum mortality. However, the gene alteration and mechanism underlying malignant transformation of glioma remain largely unknown. We aimed to find key factors regulating tumor progression and malignant transformation of glioma. Here we compared the gene expression profiles of 693 glioma patients by HGG vs. LGG model, and identified a key factor CCNB2 for malignant transformation in glioma. CCNB2 induced a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) of glioma cells, and the malignant progression, such as invasion and excessive proliferation was mediated by secreting SASP cytokines, Cathepsin B and PGE2. These findings demonstrated a previously undiscovered link between senescence, CCNB2/SASP/Cathepsin B & PGE2 axis and
