Effects of BMPER, CXCL10 and HOXA9 on neovascularization during early-growth stage of primary high-grade glioma

ABSTRACT: Neovascularization is required in high-grade glioma (HGG). The objective of this study was to explore neovascularization-related genes and their corresponding MRI biomarkers during the early-growth stage of HGG. Tumor tissues from 30 HGG patients underwent perfusion MRI scanning prior to surgery were used to establish orthotopic xenograft models, pathologically analyze the tumor vasculature and perform transcriptome sequencing. The cases were divided into two groups based on whether the xenograft was successfully established. Microvascular density and BMPER, CXCL10 and HOXA9 expression of surgical specimens in the xenograft-forming group was significantly elevated and the microvascular diameter was significantly reduced, In vitro inhibition of BMPER, CXCL10 or HOXA9 in the glioma stem cell significantly suppressed its tube formation abilities. The in vivo experiment showed that BMPER was highly expressed in the early tumor growth phase (20 days), CXCL10 and HOXA9 expression was elevated with tumor progress, and spatially associated with tumor vasculature.

Project description:Purpose: To define copy number alterations and gene expression signatures underlying pediatric high-grade glioma (HGG). Patients and Methods: We conducted a high-resolution analysis of genomic imbalances in 78 de novo pediatric HGG, including 7 diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, and 10 HGG cases arising in children who received cranial irradiation for a previous cancer, using Affymetrix 500K GeneChips. Gene expression signatures for 53 tumors were analyzed with Affymetrix U133v2 arrays. Results were compared with publicly available data from adult tumors. Results: Pediatric and adult glioblastoma were clearly distinguished by frequent gain of chromosome 1q (30% vs 9%) and lower frequency of chromosome 7 gain (13% vs 74%), respectively. The most common focal amplifications also differed, with PDGFRA and EGFR predominant in childhood and adult populations respectively. These common alterations in pediatric HGG were detected at higher frequency in irradiation-induced tumors, suggesting that these are initiating events in childhood gliomagenesis. CDKN2A was the most common tumor suppressor gene targeted by homozygous deletion in pediatric HGG. No IDH1 hotspot mutations were found in pediatric tumors, highlighting molecular differences in pathogenesis between childhood HGG and adult secondary glioblastoma. Integrated copy number and gene expression data indicated that deregulated PDGFRA signaling plays a major role in pediatric HGG. Conclusions: Integrated molecular profiling showed substantial differences in the molecular features underlying pediatric and adult HGG, indicating that findings in adult tumors cannot be simply extrapolated to younger patients. PDGFRA may be a useful target for pediatric HGG including diffuse pontine gliomas.
