SOX2 Binds to CD133 in Glioblastoma Stem Cells to Regulate Cellular Stress Pathways Underlying Treatment Resistance

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a formidable challenge in clinical settings due to limited treatments available for patients. The surface protein CD133 identifies glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), cells capable of overcoming therapeutic pressures and correlate with more aggressive tumor phenotypes. In our study, we utilized a CRISPR-based genetic screen and Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) workflows to distinguish molecular differences between healthy neural stem cells (NSCs) and GSCs. This revealed heightened SOX2 expression directly binds to the PROM1 gene in GSCs, and upregulates genes associated with stress responses including those contributing to chemoradiation resistance. Our findings demonstrate the power of complementary genomic tools, CRISPR screens with CUT&RUN, to unravel complex gene regulatory networks. This integrated approach offers insights into overlapping fields of cancer biology and stem cell research.

CRISPR Screen Reveals SOX2 as a Critical Regulator of CD133 and Cellular Stress Response in Glioblastoma II

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a formidable challenge in clinical settings due limited treatments available. The surface protein CD133 marks glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), cells capable of overcoming therapeutic pressures and correlate with more aggressiveness tumor phenotypes. In this study, we employed a CRISPR-Cas9 functional screen to deconvolute CD133 dynamics in tumors. This led us to establish that SOX2 is a key player in controlling the PROM1 gene, which in turn influences how cells react to stress factors, including those induced by chemoradiation treatment. The discoveries in this study shed light on the complex web of mechanisms that control the survival and resistance of GSCs, offering promising new avenues for targeting and potentially overcoming therapy resistance.

Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A/LSD1) inhibition attenuates DNA double strand break repair and augments efficacy of temozolomide in glioblastoma

Project description:To understand the mechanistic insights on how KDM1A inhibition sensitizes glioblastoma (GBM) to temozolomide, we performed genome wide localization studies of KDM1A in patient derived glioma stem cells (GSCs) using CUT&Tag-seq. GSC082209 (GSC08) cells were treated with vehicle or NCD38 (5 μM) for 24 h and 250,000 cells per condition were used. Data analysis on CUT&Tag sequencing reads was performed by the nf-core/cutandrun bioinformatic analysis pipeline. We detected 75,491 KDM1A peaks in the genome of GSCs (p<0.0001). Pathway analysis of KDM1A binding genes using Gene Ontology showed KDM1A binding genes were enriched in DNA repair, cell cycle, and UPR signaling pathways . CUT&Tag sequencing for KDM1A in patient derived glioma stem cells.

Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens reveal loss of redundancy between PKMYT1 and WEE1 in Glioblastoma stem-like cells

Project description:To identify new therapeutic targets for Glioblastoma (GBM), we performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 "knockout" (KO) screens in patient-derived GBM stem-like cells (GSCs) and human neural stem/progenitors (NSCs), non-neoplastic stem cell controls, for genes required for their in vitro growth. Surprisingly, the vast majority GSC-lethal hits were found outside of molecular networks commonly altered in GBM and GSCs (e.g., oncogenic drivers). In vitro and in vivo validation of GSC-specific targets revealed several strong hits, including the wee1-like kinase, PKMYT1/Myt1. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that PKMYT1 acts redundantly with WEE1 to inhibit Cyclin B-CDK1 activity via CDK1-Tyr15 phosphorylation and to promote timely completion of mitosis in NSCs. However, in GSCs, this redundancy is lost, likely as a result of oncogenic signaling, causing GBM-specific lethality. A whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens targeting over 18,000 genes using the all-in-one LV-sgRNA:Cas9 platform system were performed using a âshot gunâ approach by transducing 2 GBM patient-derived isolates and 2 human neural stem cell isolates with the pool library (2 biological replicates), and cultures were outgrown for ~3 weeks. The end time point of each screen was compared to day 0 in order to determine which sgRNAs were overrepresented or underrepresented in the population.

Proteomic profiling of glioblastoma stem cells and their small extracellular vesicles

Project description:The heterogeneous nature of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) creates hurdles in developing effective therapies against glioblastoma, making it extremely difficult to eradicate. In this part of the project, we investigated the potential role of GSCs-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in glioblastoma heterogeneity, plasticity, and aggressiveness with the particular focus on their complexity in term of proteins. Proteome profiling of sEVs and their respective cell lines showed that GSCs-derived sEVs retain their subtype characteristics and are enriched in proteins playing a role in amino acids, carboxylic acids, organic acids transmembrane transport, and growth factor binding. In summary, we revealed the protein content of GSCs-derived sEVs and unveiled their potential contribution to tumor heterogeneity and critical cellular processes commonly deregulated in glioblastoma.

Threonine fuels glioblastoma through YRDC-mediated codon-biased translational reprogramming

Project description:Cancers commonly reprogram translation and metabolism, but little is known about how these two features coordinate in cancer stem cells. Here, we show that glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) display elevated protein translation. To dissect underlying mechanisms, we performed a CRISPR screen and identified YRDC as the top essential tRNA modification enzymes in GSCs. YRDC catalyses the formation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) on ANN-decoding tRNAs (A denotes adenosine and N denotes any nucleotide). Targeting YRDC reduced t6A formation, suppressed global translation, and inhibited tumour growth both in vitro and in vivo. Threonine is an essential substrate of YRDC. Threonine accumulated in GSCs, which facilitated t6A formation through YRDC and shifted the proteome to support mitosis-related genes with ANN codon-bias. Dietary threonine restriction (TR) reduced tumour t6A formation, slowed xenograft growth, and augmented anti-tumour efficacy of chemotherapy and anti-mitotic therapy, providing a molecular basis for a dietary intervention in cancer treatment.

Gene expression profiles of PTPRZ1-knocking-down human glioblastoma stem cells [PrimeView]

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), are at the apex of its cellular hierarchy and contribute to glioblastoma progression and tumor recurrence. Gene expression profiling is useful in determining the genome-wide gene expression changes based on the experimental purpose. In order to interrogate the downstream targets of PTPRZ1, we applied gene expression profiling approach to screen the altered genes that are responsible for the functional phenotype changes. The results will provide a cue for mechanical analysis with potential translational values. PTPRZ1-knocking down glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and control GSCs were used in this study. RNA were isolated using Primescript RT Master Mix (Takara). Profiling was established by applying PrimeView Affymetrix Human Gene Expression Array.

Prominin 1/CD133 Endothelium Sustains Growth of Proneural Glioma

Project description:As many other tumors, a subset of gliobastoma is thought to be maintained by a restricted population of cancer cells, stem-like cells that express CD133 transmembrane protein. Expression levels of CD133 gene has been linked to a poor prognostic molecular subgroup and is not overexpressed by the PDGF-driven proneural group. Thus, the significance of CD133+ cells for gliomagenesis of the proneural group is undetermined. In addition, the role of the CD133 protein remains elusive and controversial, which results from the difficult isolation of CD133+ cells that has largely relied on the use of antibodies to ill-defined glycosylated epitopes of CD133. Here, we used a knockin lacZ reporter mouse, Prom1lacZ/+, to track Prom1+ cells in the brain and found that Prom1 (prominin1, murine CD133 homologue) is expressed by cells that co-express markers characteristic of neuronal, glial and vascular lineage phenotype. In proneural tumors derived from injection of RCAS-PDGF into the brain of tv-a;Ink4a-Arf-/- Prom1lacZ/+ mice, Prom1+ cells co-express markers for astrocytes and endothelial cells. Therefore, we characterize the tumor propagation in a murine model and found that the mice co-transplanted with Prom1 endothelium and proneural tumor spheres cells had significant tumor burden and vascular proliferation (angiogenesis). Specific genes in Prom1 endothelium are identified that code for endothelial signaling modulators that most likely support proneural tumor progression and can be potential targets for anti-angiogenic therapy. Cells were sorted via FACS to obtain a population of CD31+CD133- cells and a population of CD31+CD133+ cells. Total RNA was extracted from each population and gene expression was assayed on Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays with one array per cell population.

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and BMP7 regulate glioblastoma stem cells differentiation status

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.
