Abstract
Meningioma is the most common primary brain tumor and many studies have evaluated numerous biomarkers for their prognostic value, often with inconsistent results. Currently, no reliable biomarkers are available to predict the survival, recurrence, and progression of meningioma patients in clinical practice. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of immunohistochemistry-based (IHC) biomarkers of meningioma patients. A systematic literature search was conducted up to November 2023 on PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL Plus, and Scopus databases. Two authors independently reviewed the identified relevant studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the studies included. Meta-analyses were performed with the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS). The risk of bias in the included studies was evaluated using the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. A total of 100 studies with 16,745 patients were included in this review. As the promising markers to predict OS of meningioma patients, Ki-67/MIB-1 (HR = 1.03, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.05) was identified to associate with poor prognosis of the patients. Overexpression of cyclin A (HR = 4.91, 95%CI 1.38 to 17.44), topoisomerase II α (TOP2A) (HR = 4.90, 95%CI 2.96 to 8.12), p53 (HR = 2.40, 95%CI 1.73 to 3.34), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (HR = 1.61, 95%CI 1.36 to 1.90), and Ki-67 (HR = 1.33, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.46), were identified also as unfavorable prognostic biomarkers for poor RFS of meningioma patients. Conversely, positive progesterone receptor (PR) and p21 staining were associated with longer RFS and are considered biomarkers of favorable prognosis of meningioma patients (HR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.88 and HR = 1.89, 95%CI 1.11 to 3.20). Additionally, high expression of Ki-67 was identified as a prognosis biomarker for poor PFS of meningioma patients (HR = 1.02, 95%CI 1.00 to 1.04). Although only in single studies, KPNA2, CDK6, Cox-2, MCM7 and PCNA are proposed as additional markers with high expression that are related with poor prognosis of meningioma patients. In conclusion, the results of the meta-analysis demonstrated that PR, cyclin A, TOP2A, p21, p53, VEGF and Ki-67 are either positively or negatively associated with survival of meningioma patients and might be useful biomarkers to assess the prognosis.

CELL JOURNAL 2021; 23:421-428. [PMID: 34455717 PMCID: PMC8405078 DOI: 10.22074/cellj.2021.7734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that play a role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene
expression. Hsa-miR-11181 was originally introduced as a regulator of genes involved in some brain tumours. Due to the
high expression of Hsa-miR-11181 in limited glioblastoma brain tumours, in this study we intend to assess the expressions of
Hsa-miR-11181 and Has-miR11181-3p in brain tumour tissues and attribute new target genes to these miRNAs. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, total RNA from brain tissue samples was extracted for real-time
quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis after cDNA synthesis. In order to confirm a direct interaction
of Hsa-miR-11181 with two target genes, the 3ˊ UTR of AKT2 and transforming growth factor-beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1)
were cloned separately for assessment by the dual luciferase assay.
Results RT-qPCR analysis indicated that both Hsa-miR-11181-5p and Hsa-miR-11181-3p specifically up-regulated
in higher grades of glioma tumours versus other brain tumour types. Consistently, lower expression levels of AKT2
and TGFBR1 were detected in higher grade gliomas compared to other types of brain tumours, which was inverse to
the level of expression detected for the heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HBEGF) gene. The results of the dual
luciferase assay supported a direct interaction of Hsa-miR-11181 with the 3ˊ UTR sequences of the AKT2 and TGFBR1
genes.
Conclusion Overall, our data suggest that miR-1118 is a potential molecular biomarker for discrimination of glioma
brain tumours from other brain tumour types.

AKT2 drives cancer progression and is negatively modulated by miR-124 in human lung adenocarcinoma. Respir Res 2020; 21:227. [PMID: 32873299 PMCID: PMC7466426 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-020-01491-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AKT2 is highly expressed in many human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Accumulating evidence has also revealed that AKT2 can promote NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis. However, the involved mechanism remains unclear. Herein, our study mainly explored the function of AKT2 during cancer progression and uncovered a new post-transcriptional mechanism of AKT2 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS Quantitative real-time (qRT-PCR), western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays were performed to detect the expression of AKT2 and other proteins. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and EdU assays were performed to assess cell proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect changes in the cell cycle and apoptosis. Transwell assays were used to evaluate cell migration and invasion. Additionally, a luciferase reporter assay and western blotting were employed to assess miR-124 targeting of AKT2. Xenograft mouse model was used to observe the role of miR-124/AKT2 axis on the occurrence and development of LUAD. RESULTS We showed that AKT2 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and closely related to the poor prognosis of LUAD patients. Moreover, AKT2 affected LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion by regulating the cell cycle and promoting the occurrence of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In addition, we demonstrated that miR-124 overexpression downregulated AKT2 expression by binding to the 3'-untranslated region (3'- UTR) of AKT2 and thus inhibited the occurrence and development of LUAD in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that miR-124 overexpression can negatively regulate AKT2 and thus inhibit the progression of LUAD. Therefore, the miR-124/AKT2 axis may serve as a potential target for novel therapies for LUAD.

Abstract
Background 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. Methods 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, enriched phosphoproteins and phosphopeptides. Differential expression and functional annotation of proteins was completed using Perseus, IPA® and DAVID. We validated differential expression of proteins and phosphoproteins by Western blot on a meningioma validation set and by immunohistochemistry. Findings We quantified 3888 proteins and 3074 phosphoproteins across all meningioma grades and normal meninges. Bioinformatics analysis revealed commonly upregulated proteins and phosphoproteins to be enriched in Gene Ontology terms associated with RNA metabolism. Validation studies confirmed significant overexpression of proteins such as EGFR and CKAP4 across all grades, as well as the aberrant activation of the downstream PI3K/AKT pathway, which seems differential between grades. Further, we validated upregulation of the total and activated phosphorylated form of the NIMA-related kinase, NEK9, involved in mitotic progression. Novel proteins identified and validated in meningioma included the nuclear proto-oncogene SET, the splicing factor SF2/ASF and the higher-grade specific protein, HK2, involved in cellular metabolism. Interpretation Overall, we generated a proteomic thesaurus of meningiomas for the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Fund This study was supported by Brain Tumour Research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neural-tube defects (NTDs) are common birth defects of complex etiology. Although many studies have confirmed a genetic component, the exact mechanism between DNA methylation and NTDs remains unclear. METHODS In this work, we investigated the alteration of methylation from placental tissues obtained from 152 normal infants or with NTDs in 130 children with neural-tube defects. Genome-wide changes in DNA methylation were measured using the NimbleGen microarray. The expression levels of 12 genes were also determined, and two genes (AKT2 and CDC25C) showed low expression in NTDs by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Then, the methyhlated region of AKT2 promoter sequences were confirmed by massARRAY. RESULTS A total of 150 differentially methylated regions (81 low methylated regions and 69 high methylated regions) were selected by microarray. The expression levels of AKT2 and CDC25C showed lower expression in NTDs. And the percentage of methyhlated region of AKT2 promoter were increased in NTDs. CONCLUSIONS DNA mythelation was one of the possible epigenetic variations correlated with the occurrence of NTDs, and AKT2 may be a candidate gene for NTDs.

Abstract
The GTPase-activating protein RLIP76 is overexpressed in and correlates with the pathological grade of many malignant tumor cells. But the potential correlation between RLIP76 and clinical outcomes in patients with meningioma remains unknown. In this study, we examined the expression of RLIP76 in meningioma and correlated the RLIP76 expression to the patient outcome. RLIP76 expression in tumor tissues was examined with immunohistochemistry, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Western-blot. Immunohistochemistry showed an increased RLIP76 immunostaining score in anaplastic and atypical meningiomas versus classical meningiomas. Statistical analyses revealed that RLIP76 immunostaining positively correlated with immunostaining for Ki-67, a nuclear protein highly expressed in proliferating cells(r=0.29, p=0.034 by Spearman's correlation coefficient). Clinicopathological evaluation suggested that RLIP76 expression be associated with tumor grade and recurrence(P<0.05). Univariate and Cox analysis indicated that RLIP76 was an independent prognostic factor for tumor recurrence. Furthermore, the human malignant meningioma cell lines IOMM-Lee and CH157-MN stably transfected with short hairpin RNA (siRNA) targeting RLIP76 were then examined by in vitro growth assays, and apoptosis assays. RLIP76 knockdown in IOMM-Lee and CH157-MN cells inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Western blot analysis revealed that cells underexpressing RLIP76 exhibited decreased B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) expression but increased apoptosis effector caspase-3 expression. These findings demonstrate that high RLIP76 expression is associated with a poor outcome of meningioma and may provide a new gene therapy approach for patients with malignant meningiomas.
