Proteomic analysis of meningioma of different grades identifies potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are common brain tumours arising from meningeal tissue. Despite the majority of them displaying benign features, they can cause mild to severe morbidity. The current main therapeutic approach is complete tumour resection commonly with adjunct radiation therapy. However, tumour location can hamper complete resection and chemotherapies are ineffective. In this study we aim to elucidate dysregulated pathways in meningioma pathogenesis and identify novel molecular targets by deciphering the proteome and phosphoproteome of different grades of meningiomas. Tumour lysates were collected from grade I, II and III frozenmeningioma specimens and three normal healthy human meninges.

<h4>Background</h4>Meningioma is the most frequent primary intracranial tumour. Surgical resection remains the main therapeutic option as pharmacological intervention is hampered by poor knowledge of their proteomic signature. There is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers of meningioma.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed proteomic profiling of grade I, II and III frozen meningioma specimens and three normal healthy human meninges using LC-MS/MS to analyse global proteins, e ...[more]

Project description:Purpose: In this study, we try to investigate the possible signaling pathways involved in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic and anaplastic meningiomas. We also attempt to investigate EGFL6 gene expression in brain arachnoidal tissues and various tumors and to measure EGFL6 levels in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Experimental Design: Differential gene expression profiles between meningiomas and brain arachnoidal tissues were established by using Affymetrix GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify potential gene pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the differentially expressed genes in the KEGG pathways. EGFL6 mRNA levels were also determined in brain arachnoidal tissues, meningiomas, and other tumors by qRT-PCR. EGFL6 levels were measured in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Results: Fibroblastic meningioma exhibited upregulated PI3K/Akt and TGFÎ² signaling pathways, and accelerated G1/S progression cell cycle. KEGG analysis also demonstrated that focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways were activated in anaplastic meningioma. Benign meningiomas had significantly higher levels of EGFL6 mRNA than brain arachnoidal tissues and atypical and anaplastic meningiomas (P<0.001). EGFL6 gene was also highly expressed in ovarian cancer, but expressed lowly in all other investigated tumors. EGFL6 was hardly detectable in serum samples of healthy people. The mean serum EGFL6 concentration was 675, 118, and 126 pg/ml in patients with benign, atypical, and anaplastic meningiomas respectively. Patients with ovarian cancers also had high serum EGFL6 levels (mean concentration: 617 pg/ml). Patients with all other investigated tumors, however, had low levels of serum EGFL6 with mean concentration less than 240 pg/ml. Conclusion: We proposed that deregulation of cell cycle and PI3K/Akt pathways might play important roles in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic meningioma. It was also suggested that the activated integrin-mediated signaling pathways were involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic meningioma. We presented evidence that EGFL6 might serve as a novel serum biomarker for benign meningioma and ovarian cancer. It was also suggested that EGFL6 could help discriminate benignancy or malignancy of meningiomas before surgery or at early time points. Differential gene expression profiles between meningiomas and brain arachnoidal tissues were established by using Affymetrix GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify potential gene pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the differentially expressed genes in the KEGG pathways. EGFL6 mRNA levels were also determined in brain arachnoidal tissues, meningiomas, and other tumors by qRT-PCR. EGFL6 levels were measured in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA.
