Expression data from glioma stem cells (GSC), comparing the WT cells to those after ALDH1A3-KO

ABSTRACT: Elevated aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity correlates with poor outcome for many solid tumors as ALDHs potentially regulate cell proliferation and chemoresistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). ALDH1A3 is the dominant isomer of the ALDH gene family in Mesenchymal subtype of GSC cells and is highly upregulated compared to other subtype of GSCs. ALDH1A3 is an important enzyme in the synthesis of Retinoic Acid, which regulates various downstream pathways and the transcription of numerous genes. Microarray analysis of the GSCs before or after depletion of ALDH1A3 provides important information to determine the genes regulated by ALDH1A3 in the mesenchymal subtype of GSCs. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptome change after the depletion of ALDH1A3 in GSC-326 cells that express very high levels of ALDH1A3.

A specific inhibitor of ALDH1A3 regulates retinoic acid biosynthesis in glioma stem cells

Project description:Elevated aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity correlates with poor outcome for many solid tumors as ALDHs potentially regulate cell proliferation and chemoresistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Accordingly, potent and selective inhibitors of key ALDHs may represent a novel CSC-directed treatment paradigm for ALDH+ cancer types. Of the many ALDH isoforms, we and others have implicated the elevated expression of ALDH1A3 in mesenchymal glioma stem cells (MES GSCs) as a target for the development of novel therapeutics. To this end, we used our structure of human ALDH1A3 combined with in silico modeling to identify a selective, active-site inhibitor of ALDH1A3. The lead compound, MCI-INI-3, is a selective competitive inhibitor of human ALDH1A3 and shows poor inhibitory effect on the structurally related isoform ALDH1A1. Mass spectrometry-based cellular thermal shift analysis revealed that ALDH1A3 is the primary binding protein for MCI-INI-3 in MES GSC lysates. The inhibitory effect of MCI-INI-3 on retinoic acid biosynthesis is comparable with that of ALDH1A3 knockout, suggesting that effective inhibition of ALDH1A3 is achieved with MCI-INI-3. Further development is warranted to characterize the role of ALDH1A3 and retinoic acid biosynthesis in glioma stem cell growth and differentiation.

Analysis of mRNA profiles distinguishes proneural (PN) glioma stem cells (GSC) from mesenchymal (Mes) GSCs

Project description:Tumor heterogeneity of high-grade glioma (HGG) is recognized by four clinically relevant subtypes based on core gene signatures. However, molecular signaling in glioma stem cells (GSCs) in individual HGG subtypes is poorly characterized. Here we identified and characterized two mutually exclusive GSC subtypes with distinct dysregulated signaling pathways. Analysis of mRNA profiles distinguished proneural (PN) from mesenchymal (Mes) GSCs and revealed a pronounced correlation with the corresponding PN or Mes HGGs. Mes GSCs displayed more aggressive phenotypes in vitro and as intracranial xenografts in mice. Further, Mes GSCs were markedly resistant to radiation compared with PN GSCs. The glycolytic pathway, comprising aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family genes and in particular ALDH1A3, were enriched in Mes GSCs. Glycolytic activity and ALDH activity were significantly elevated in Mes GSCs but not in PN GSCs. Expression of ALDH1A3 was also increased in clinical HGG compared with low-grade glioma or normal brain tissue. Moreover, inhibition of ALDH1A3 attenuated the growth of Mes but not PN GSCs. Last, radiation treatment of PN GSCs up-regulated Mes-associated markers and downregulated PN-associated markers, whereas inhibition of ALDH1A3 attenuated an irradiation-induced gain of Mes identity in PN GSCs. Taken together, our data suggest that two subtypes of GSCs, harboring distinct metabolic signaling pathways, represent intertumoral glioma heterogeneity and highlight previously unidentified roles of ALDH1A3-associated signaling that promotes aberrant proliferation of Mes HGGs and GSCs. Inhibition of ALDH1A3- mediated pathways therefore might provide a promising therapeutic approach for a subset of HGGs with the Mes signature.

KDM4C epigenetically regulates and forms a feed-forward loop with ALDH1A3 to maintain gastric cancer stemness

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) stem cells (GCSCs) are characterized as high level of ALDH activity, however, the mechanisms of maintenance of high ALDH activity and stemness in GCSCs are largely unknown. Here, we report that KDM4C, a H3K9me2/3-demethylase, epigenetically regulates ALDH1A3 by histone demethylation and forms a feed-forward loop with ALDH1A3 to supports GS stemness. Ectopic expression of both KDM4C and ALDH1A3 promotes the properties of GCSCs, including spherogenecity, self-renewal, CD44 expression and ALDH activity; knockdown of anyone abolished the effect of each other. KDM4C directly binds to the promoter of ALDH1A3, leads to histone demethylation, thereby promoting ALDH1A3 transcription. Upregulated ALDH1A3 in turn transcriptionally upregulates KDM4C. Simultaneous inhibition of KDM4C and ALDH1A3 synergistically sensitizes GC sphere-derived cells to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. The finding that upregulated ALDH1A3 promotes its own transcription via KDM4C-mediated epigenetic modification represents an important feed-forward mechanism for GCSCs to maintain stemness and promote tumourigenesis and our work thus suggests a novel therapeutic strategy for eradicating human GCSCs. To investigate the mechanisms underlying KDM4C promoting CG stemness, we identified the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between KDM4C-overexpressing and control AGS cells by iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis.

Identification and molecular characterization of distinct glioblastoma cancer stem cell populations

Project description:Malignant glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Genomic profiling of GBM samples in the TCGA database has identified four molecular subtypes (Proneural, Neural, Classical and Mesenchymal), which may arise from different glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) populations. In the present study, we identify two GSC populations that produce GBM tumors by subcutaneous and intracranial injection with identical histological features. Gene expression analysis revealed that xenografts of GSCs grown as spheroid cultures had a Classical molecular subtype similar to that of bulk tumor cells. In contrast xenografts of GSCs grown as adherent cultures on laminin-coated plates expressed a Mesenchymal gene signature. Adherent GSC-derived xenografts had high STAT3 and ANGPTL4 expression as well as enrichment for stem cell markers, transcriptional networks and pro-angiogenic markers characteristic of the Mesenchymal subtype. Examination of clinical samples from GBM patients showed that STAT3 expression was directly correlated with ANGPTL4 expression, and that increased expression of these genes correlated with poor patient survival and performance. A pharmacological STAT3 inhibitor abrogated STAT3 binding to the ANGPTL4 promoter and exhibited anticancer activity in vivo. Taken together, we identified two distinct GSC populations that produce histologically identical tumors but with very different gene expression patterns, and a STAT3/ ANGPTL4 pathway in glioblastoma that may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention. 2 samples of each variable were analyzed. Cells were cultured under normal adherent conditon (Bulk tumor cells), non-adherent plates with stem cell medium (Sp-GSC) or laminin-coated plates with stem cell medium (Ad-GSC). Xenografts were generated in NSG mice by subcutaneous inoculation.

Expression data for minimally invasive glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) plasma membrane markers

Project description:We compared whole genome expression profiles of GSCs with normal human cortex, human neural stem cells (hNSC) from fetal cortex, glioblastoma (GBM) primary, and recurrent tumors to find GSC-specific plasma membrane transcripts. All of the expression profiles were batch normalized by a robust multichip average (RMA) algorithm using Geospiza GeneSifter (PerkinElmer) online microarray database and analysis software. The data was then exported into Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and organized for GSC transcripts with raw intensity values 10 fold or higher over normal brain, hNSCs, GBM primary and recurrent tumor samples. The reverse sorting algorithm was done to obtain downregulated GSC trascripts.

A single cell atlas of human glioma

Project description:Although tumor-propagating cells can be derived from glioblastomas (GBMs)of theproneural and mesenchymal subtypes,a gliomastem-like cell (GSC) of the classical subtype has not been identified. It is unclear if mesenchymal GSCs (mGSCs) and/orproneural GSCs (pGSCs) alone are sufficient to generate the heterogeneity observed in GBM.We performed single-cell/nuclei RNA-sequencing of 28 gliomas, and single-cell ATAC-sequencing for8 cases. We find that GBM GSCs reside ona single axis of variation, rangingfrom proneural to mesenchymal. In silico lineage tracing using both transcriptomics and genetics supports mGSCs as the progenitors of pGSCs.Dual inhibition of pGSC-enrichedand mGSC-enrichedgrowth and survival pathways provides a more complete treatment thancombinations targetingone GSC phenotype alone.This study sheds light on a long-standing debate regarding lineage relationships among GSCs and presents a paradigm by which personalized combination therapies can be derived from single-cell RNA signatures, to overcome intra-tumor heterogeneity.
