Baseline RNA-sequencing data of 12 glioblastoma stem cell lines sensitive or resistant to TAK1 inhibition


ABSTRACT: Poor survival and lack of response to current treatment modalities in adult human glioblastomas is attributed to the persistence of a subpopulation of glioma stem cells (GSCs). To identify novel approaches to therapeutically target GSCs, we performed CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens in GSCs and identified the kinase TAK1 as an important selective survival factor in 50% of the tested GSCs. In sensitive cells, knockout of TAK1 leads to induction of caspase-dependent apoptosis via the RIPK1/Caspase 8/FADD complex due to constitutive, low-level secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) and stimulation of TNF receptor 1. Furthermore, we show that expression of genes involved in immune signaling and a mesenchymal signature predict the sensitivity and response of GSCs to TAK1 inhibition. In summary, we have identified TAK1 as a new therapeutic target for mesenchymal GBM and a potential gene signature for selection of patients benefitting from TAK1 targeted therapy.
