Project description:To examine patterns associated with survival, we assembled a cohort of GBM patients whose survival ranges from less than 3 months and up to 10 years, most of which are not bearing isocitrate-dehyderogenase (IDH)-1 mutation and did not undergo prior treatment. We integrated high-resolution mass-spectrometry proteomics and RNA sequencing to examine the yet unresolved proteomic contribution to poor patient outcome, and compared it to the more established transcriptomic contribution and to published single-cell data. Discovering both layer-specific and shared processes, we found that long and short survival are distinguished by immune, metabolic and developmental processes. Additionally, we observed a significant discrepancy in tumor classification between expression layers. Overall, our integrative findings establish proteomic heterogeneity in GBM as a gateway to explaining poor survival.
Project description:Characterization of gene expression for a panel of 50 in vitro and in vivo models of glioblastoma (GBM). Models include subcutaneously established xenograft lines, orthotopically grown subcutaneously established xenograft lines, serum derived cell lines and stem cell media derived cell lines. Multiple replicates of each line were run on different dates to determine the effect of batch and processing date on reproducibility of gene expression profiles 117 samples analyzed from 50 distinct GBM xenografts or cell lines. Biological replicates from the same passage number were included for many, but not all, of the lines.
Project description:Our main objective was to study genome-wide differential methylation in de novo glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, grade IV glioma). We evaluated CpG sites in gene promoters of 26,000+ genes using an array-based chip. We retrieved 54 GBM from biorepositories of two institutions(40 from Columbia University and 14 from Case Western Reserve University) and 24 control brain tissues from the New York Brain Bank, which collected control brain tissues from consented subjects without history of neurological diseases at autopsy. Bisulfite modified DNA was extracted from 54 GBM and 24 control brain tissue. The HumanMethylation27 Analysis Bead-Chips (Illumina) were used to interrogate 26,486 informative CpG sites in the autosomes.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of two agents, INC280 and bevacizumab, is safe and effective when administered to patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) who have progressed after receiving prior therapy or who have unresectable GBM.

Project description:Human Glioblastoma Multiforme tumors taken before dendritic cell vaccination, the recurrent tumors taken after vaccination and control GBM tumors from non vaccinated patients. Experiment Overall Design: Six Glioblastoma Multiforme patients underwent surgery. Their brain tumors were removed and analyzed via microarray. The lysate from the tumors were cultured with the patients' dendritic cells and the DCs were injected back into the patients. The patients GBMs returned and they underwent surgery a second time and those tumors were also analyzed via microarray. Tumors from the first and second GBM surgeries of 5 patients who did not receive DC vaccines are included as controls.
Project description:We over-expressed an epigenetic regulator in a glioblastoma (GBM) primary culture from an adult patient. These GBM cells have cancer stem cell phenotypes, as they have self-renewal properties and tumor initiation potential when transplanted in immunocompromised mice. ATAC-seq was performed on cells over-expressing the epigenetic regulator and control cells expressing EGFP. ATAC-Seq on glioblastoma cells that over-express EGFP or an epigenetic regulator.
