Identification of a prognostic hypoxia- associated gene set in IDH1 mutant glioma

ABSTRACT: Glioma growth is often accompanied by a hypoxic microenvironment favorable for the induction and maintenance of the glioma stem cell (GSC) phenotype. Due to the paucity of cell models of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 mutant (IDH1mut) GSCs, biology under hypoxic conditions has not been sufficiently studied as compared to IDH1 wildtype (IDH1wt) GSCs. We therefore grew well-characterized IDH1mut (n = 4) and IDH1wt (n = 4) GSC lines under normoxic (20%) and hypoxic (1.5%) culture conditions and harvested mRNA after 72 h. Transcriptome analyses were performed and hypoxia regulated genes were further analyzed using the expression and clinical data of the lower grade glioma cohort of The Cancer Genome Atlas (LGG TCGA) in a confirmatory approach and to test for possible survival associations. Results show that global expression changes were more pronounced in IDH1wt than in IDH1mut GSCs. However, when focusing on known hypoxia-regulated gene sets, enrichment analyses showed a comparable regulation in both IDH1mut and IDH1wt GSCs. Of 272 significantly up-regulated genes under hypoxic conditions in IDH1mut GSCs a hypoxia-related survival score (HRS-score) of five genes (LYVE1, FAM162A, WNT6, OTP, PLOD1) was identified by the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithm which was able to predict survival independent of age, 1p19q co-deletion status and WHO grade (II vs. III) in the LGG TCGA cohort and in the Rembrandt dataset. Altogether, we were able to identify and validate a novel hypoxia-related survival score in IDH1mut GSCs consisting of five hypoxia-regulated genes which was significantly associated with patient survival independent of known prognostic confounders.

Project description:Gliomas are the most frequent type of primary tumor of the central nervous system in adults with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the development of novel, complex, multidisciplinary, and targeted therapies, glioma therapy has not progressed much over the last decades. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel patient-adjusted immunotherapies that actively stimulate antitumor T cells generating long-term memory and thus resulting in significant clinical benefits. This work aimed to investigate the efficacy and molecular mechanism of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines loaded with glioma cells undergoing immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by photosens based photodynamic therapy (PS-PDT) and to identify reliable prognostic genes’ signatures for predicting patients’ overall survival (OS). The analysis of the transcriptional program of the ICD-based DC vaccine led to the identification of robust induction of Th17 signature when used as a vaccine, these DCs demonstrate retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-γt dependent efficacy in orthotopic mouse model. Moreover, by comparative analysis of transcriptome program of the ICD-based DC vaccine with transcriptome data from the TCGA-low grade glioma (LGG) dataset the four-gene signature (CFH, GALNT3, SMC4, VAV3) associated with OS of glioma patients have been identified. This model has been validated on OS of CGGA-LGG, TCGA-glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and CGGA-GBM datasets to determine whether it has a similar prognostic value. For this the sensitivity and specificity of the prognostic model for predicting the OS were evaluated by calculating the area under curve (AUC) of the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The values of AUC for TCGA-LGG, CGGA-LGG, TCGA-GBM and CGGA-GBM were, respectively, 0.75, 0.73, 0.9 and 0.69 for predicting 5-year survival rates. These data open attractive prospects for improving glioma therapy by employing ICD and PS-PDT-based DC vaccines to induce Th17 immunity and to use this prognostic model to predict the OS of glioma patients.
