Project description:Identification of critical survival determinants of PDGF-driven proneural glioma. Results provided information about the genes and pathways that are regulated by PDGF signaling in PDGF-driven proneural glioma and led to the assessment of the importance of the USP1-ID2 axis in proneural glioma. Total RNA obtained from PDGF-driven glioma spheroid cells (PDGF-GSC) and primary tumors arising in the Gfap-tTa/Tre-PDGFB mouse model used in our study was analyzed to determine to which subtype of GBM these specimens belonged.

Project description:Objective: Brain tumors (gliomas) contain large populations of infiltrating macrophages and recruited microglia, which in experimental murine glioma models promote tumor formation and progression. Among the barriers to understanding the contributions of these stromal elements to high-grade glioma (glioblastoma; GBM) biology is the relative paucity of tools to characterize infiltrating macrophages and resident microglia. In this study, we leveraged multiple RNA analysis platforms to identify new monocyte markers relevant to GBM patient outcome. Methods: High-confidence lists of mouse resident microglia- and bone marrow-derived macrophage-specific transcripts were generated using converging RNA-seq and microarray technologies and validated using qRT-PCR and flow cytometry. Expression of select cell surface markers was analyzed in brain-infiltrating macrophages and resident microglia in an induced GBM mouse model, while allogeneic bone marrow transplantation was performed to trace the origins of infiltrating and resident macrophages. Glioma tissue microarrays were examined by immunohistochemistry, and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was queried to determine the prognostic value of identified microglia biomarkers in human GBM. Results: We generated a unique catalog of differentially-expressed bone marrow-derived monocyte and resident microglia transcripts, and demonstrated that brain-infiltrating macrophages acquire F11R expression in GBM and following bone-marrow transplantation. Moreover, mononuclear cell F11R expression positively correlates with human high-grade glioma and additionally serves as a biomarker for GBM patient survival, regardless of GBM molecular subtype. Significance: These studies establish F11R as a novel monocyte prognostic marker for GBM critical for defining a subpopulation of stromal cells for future potential therapeutic intervention. Total RNA was isolated from three independently-generated sets of flow sorted bone marrow monocytes (CD11b+ CD45high CD115+ Ly6G- cells) and brainstem microglia (CD11b+ CD45low CD115low Ly6G- cells) for Illumina RNA-Seq, and two additional pools were subsequently generated and submitted for Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0ST microarray. Two of the RNA-Seq samples were additionally analyzed by the microarray, for a total of 6 samples (3 monocyte, 3 microglia) in each platform. Data outputs were analyzed by two analysis methods each (RNA-Seq data: ALEXA-Seq and Cufflinks; microarray data: Partek and Aroma). All four lists were merged into a new high-confidence gene list of transcripts that were significantly differentially expressed (DE) in three out of the four analyses. In this dataset, we includeRNA-Seq data obtained from flow sorted mouse bone marrow monocytes and brainstem microglia.

Project description:ATRX, a chromatin remodeler protein, is recurrently mutated in H3F3A-mutant pediatric glioblastoma (GBM) and IDH-mutant grade 2/3 adult glioma. Previous work has shown that ATRX-deficient GBM cells show enhanced sensitivity to irradiation, but the etiology remains unclear. We found that ATRX binds regulatory elements of cell cycle phase transition genes in GBM cells, and there is a marked reduction in Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHEK1) expression with ATRX loss, leading to early release of G2/M entry after irradiation. ATRX-deficient cells exhibit enhanced activation of master cell cycle regulator ATM with irradiation. Mice intra-cranially implanted with ATRX-deficient GBM cells demonstrate doubling of median survival compared to the ATRX-Wild Type controls when treated with ATM inhibitor AZD0156 and radiation. This study demonstrates that ATRX-deficient high-grade gliomas (HGGs) display epigenetic dysregulation of cell cycle phase transitions, which opens a new window for therapies targeting this unique phenotype.

Project description:Akt is a robust oncogene that plays key roles in the development and progression of many cancers, including glioma. We evaluated the differential propensities of the Akt isoforms toward progression in the well-characterized RCAs/Ntv-a mouse model of PDGFB-driven low grade glioma. A constitutively active myristoylated form of Akt1 did not induce high-grade glioma (HGG). In stark contrast, Akt2 and Akt3 showed strong progression potential with 78% and 97% of tumors diagnosed as HGG, respectively. We further revealed that significant variations in polarity and hydropathy values among the Akt isoforms in both the pleckstrin homology domain (P domain) and regulatory domain (R domain) were critical in mediating glioma progression. Gene expression profiles from representative Akt-derived tumors indicated dominant and distinct roles for Akt3, consisting primarily of DNA repair pathways. TCGA data from human GBM closely reflected the DNA repair function, as Akt3 was significantly correlated with a 76 gene signature DNA repair panel. Consistently, compared to Akt1 and Akt2 overexpression models, Akt3-expressing human GBM cells had enhanced activation of DNA repair proteins, leading to increased DNA repair and subsequent resistance to radiation and temozolomide. Given the wide range of Akt3-amplified cancers, Akt3 may represent a key resistance factor. 5 different experimental conditions were compared (including GFP, PDGFB, PDGFB in conjunciton with Akt1, Akt2, or Akt3) with 3 mice per treatment

Project description:While immune signaling has emerged as a defining feature of the glioma microenvironment, local selection of responding T cells and their anti-tumor potential as a population are difficult to measure directly in patients. High-throughput sequencing of T cell receptor repertoires (TCRseq) provides a population-wide statistical description of how T cells respond to disease. Here, we define new immunophenotypes in glioma based on TCRseq and RNA-Seq of tumor tissue, non-neoplastic brain tissue, and peripheral blood from patients. Using information theory, we characterize antigen-driven selection in glioma and its relationship with the expression of distinct immune-functional pathways in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, we identify a strong relationship between usage of certain TCR in peripheral blood and the divergence of the infiltrating T cell population from the peripheral repertoire. We anticipate that these immunophenotypes will be foundational to monitoring and predicting response to anti-glioma vaccines and immunotherapy. We characterized the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires of 11 high-grade glioma patients, three low-grade glioma patients, and thee non-glioma patients by TCRseq of brain-infiltrating T cells and matching peripheral blood. In addition, we obtained gene expression profiles from brain tissue of each patient by RNA-Seq. We additionally measured the TCR repertoires exclusively from peripheral blood of one additional non-glioma patient.
