An ILK/STAT3 pathway controls plasticity in a neural stem cell model of glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastomas (GBM) are driven by malignant neural stem-like cells that display extensive heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity, which drives tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Here we show that the nodal extracellular matrix-cell adhesion protein integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a key determinant of phenotypic plasticity and the mesenchymal-like, invasive cell state in mouse GBM stem cells. We found that an ILK-STAT3 signalling pathway is required for plasticity that enables the transition of GBM stem cells to an astrocyte-like state both in vitro andin vivo. GBM cells genetically depleted of ILK become predominantly stabilised in a transcriptionally-defined progenitor-like state that is characterised by lack of response to differentiation cues and constitutive proliferation. Loss of ILK or interference with STAT3 impairs differentiation potential, reducing phenotypic plasticity of tumour cell populations; additionally, ILK loss causes a mesenchymal- to epithelial-like morphological transition and suppression of malignancy-associated features. Our work defines ILK as a central regulator of multiple GBM phenotypes including phenotypic plasticity and mesenchymal state.

Expression data from Integrin-linked kinase (ILK)-deficient epidermis

Project description:ILK is essential for proper development of hair follicles, and for epidermal integrity and repair after injury. To better understand the pathways modulated by ILK in the epidermis, we compared the transcriptomes of ILK-deficient and -expressing epidermis using microarray analyses. Ilktm1Star (with floxed Ilk alleles) and Tg(KRT14-cre)1Amc/J mice were bred, and the resulting mice were bred again with Ilktm1Star mice, to generate animals heterozygos for the KRT14-cre transgene and either heterozygous (ILK-expressing) or homozygous (ILK-deficient) for the floxed Ilk alleles. The epidermis of 3 day-old animals was harvested and used to prepare RNA for the microarrays. The animals used were littermates. RNA from the epidermis of five ILK-deficient and five ILK-expressing mice were used.

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.

A Proneural to Mesenchymal Transition Mediated by NFkB Promotes Radiation Resistance in Glioblastoma (part 1)

Project description:SUMMARY Despite numerous genome-wide association studies involving glioblastoma (GBM), few therapeutic targets have been identified for this disease. Using patient derived glioma sphere cultures (GSCs), we have found that a subset of the proneural (PN) GSCs undergo transition to a mesenchymal (MES) state in a TNFa/NFkB dependent manner with an associated enrichment of CD44 sub-populations and radio-resistant phenotypes. To the contrary, MES GSCs exhibit constitutive NFkB activation, CD44 enrichment and radio-resistance. Patients whose tumors exhibit a higher MES metagene, increased expression of CD44, or activated NFkB were associated with poor radiation response and shorter survival. Our results indicate that NFkB activation mediated MES differentiation and radiation resistance presents an attractive therapeutic target for GBM. SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we show plasticity between the proneural (PN) and mesenchymal (MES) transcriptome signatures observed in glioblastoma (GBM). Specifically, we show that PN glioma sphere cultures (GSCs) can be induced to a MES state with an associated enrichment of CD44 expressing cells and a gain of radio-resistance, which we implicate as NFkB- dependent. Newly diagnosed GBM samples show a direct correlation between radiation response, higher MES metagene, CD44 expression, and NFkB activation. This correlation is also observed in the subset of GBM samples that do not exhibit IDH1 mutation, a favorable prognostic marker. Our results uncover a previously unknown link between subtype plasticity that is regulated by NFkB. Inhibition of NFkB activation can directly impact radio-resistance and presents an attractive therapeutic target for GBM. Gene expression data for 17 isolated Glioma Stem Cells
