Abstract
Fewer than 5 % glioblastoma (GBM) patients survive over five years and are termed long-term survivors (LTS), yet their molecular background is unclear. The present cohort included 72 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype GBM patients, consisting of 35 LTS and 37 short-term survivors (STS), and we employed whole exome sequencing, RNA-seq and DNA methylation array to delineate this largest LTS cohort to date. Although LTS and STS demonstrated analogous clinical characters and classical GBM biomarkers, CASC5 (P = 0.002) and SPEN (P = 0.013) mutations were enriched in LTS, whereas gene-to-gene fusions were concentrated in STS (P = 0.007). Importantly, LTS exhibited higher tumor mutation burden (P < 0.001) and copy number (CN) increase (P = 0.013), but lower mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity score (P < 0.001) and CN decrease (P = 0.026). Additionally, LTS demonstrated hypermethylated genome (P < 0.001) relative to STS. Differentially expressed and methylated genes both enriched in olfactory transduction. Further, analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed higher infiltration of M1 macrophages (P = 0.043), B cells (P = 0.016), class-switched memory B cells (P = 0.002), central memory CD4+ T cells (P = 0.031) and CD4+ Th1 cells (P = 0.005) in LTS. We also separately analyzed a subset of patients who were methylation class-defined GBM, contributing 70.8 % of the entire cohort, and obtained similar results relative to prior analyses. Finally, we demonstrated that LTS and STS could be distinguished using a subset of molecular features. Taken together, the present study delineated unique molecular attributes of LTS GBM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analysis of long-lived patients from the group of patients with glioblastomas after using photodynamic therapy in the structure of their complex treatment in order to assess the influence of various factors on their life expectancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS In total, a single-center, retrospective categorical study analyzed the long-term results of treatment of 63 patients with glioblastoma in the structure of complex treatment including photodynamic therapy. Clinical factors (age, sex, number of cases, preoperative Karnofsky index, location and size of the tumor, radicality of the operation), histological (nuclear polymorphism, mitosis, vascular proliferation, necrosis), immunohistochemical (Ki-67, p53 index) molecular-genetic factors (expression of VEGF, MGMT, IDH, CD34), amount of radiation and chemotherapy were analyzed. RESULTS In the entire group of patients, there was a direct correlation of life expectancy with MGMT status, IDH status, the number of courses of chemotherapy, the age of the patient, and the severity of the first surgical intervention. CONCLUSION Clinical features such as age at diagnosis and extent of surgical resection and amount of chemotherapy have predictive value in assessing their effect on life expectancy. Mutations in IDH and MGMT promoter methylation were the most important molecular factors determining long-term patient survival.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating inflammation-related cancer for which novel therapeutic targets are urgently required. Previous studies of the authors indicate Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) as a novel inflammatory target and develop a specific inhibitor Q11. Here it is demonstrated that CYP2E1 overexpression is closely related to higher malignancy in GBM patients. CYP2E1 activity is positively correlated with tumor weight in GBM rats. Significantly higher CYP2E1 expression accompanied by increased inflammation is detected in a mouse GBM model. Q11, 1-(4-methyl-5-thialzolyl) ethenone, a newly developed specific inhibitor of CYP2E1 here remarkably attenuates tumor growth and prolongs survival in vivo. Q11 does not directly affect tumor cells but blocks the tumor-promoting effect of microglia/macrophage (M/Mφ) in the tumor microenvironment through PPARγ-mediated activation of the STAT-1 and NF-κB pathways and inhibition of the STAT-3 and STAT-6 pathways. The effectiveness and safety of targeting CYP2E1 in GBM are further supported by studies with Cyp2e1 knockout rodents. In conclusion, a pro-GBM mechanism in which CYP2E1-PPARγ-STAT-1/NF-κB/STAT-3/STAT-6 axis fueled tumorigenesis by reprogramming M/Mφ and Q11 as a promising anti-inflammatory agent for GBM treatment is uncovered.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor. Less than 1% of patients survive longer than 10 years. A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with MGMT-methylated GBM in 2009. The patient received cilengitide as part of the CENTRIC clinical trial in conjunction with standard radiation and chemotherapy. Though the study was halted in 2013, our patient received cilengitide until 2016 with no radiographic evidence of recurrence thus far. This is the oldest reported GBM patient with greater than 10-year survival. Her exceptional response may have been influenced by MGMT promoter methylation status and PTEN expression.

Abstract
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) remains the most common malignant primary brain tumor with a dismal prognosis that rarely exceeds beyond 2 years despite extensive therapy, which consists of maximal safe surgical resection, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. Recently, it has become clear that GBM is not one homogeneous entity and that both intra-and intertumoral heterogeneity contributes significantly to differences in tumoral behavior which may consequently be responsible for differences in survival. Strikingly and in spite of its dismal prognosis, small fractions of GBM patients seem to display extremely long survival, defined as surviving over 10 years after diagnosis, compared to the large majority of patients. Although the underlying mechanisms for this peculiarity remain largely unknown, emerging data suggest that still poorly characterized both cellular and molecular factors of the tumor microenvironment and their interplay probably play an important role. We hereby give an extensive overview of what is yet known about these cellular and molecular features shaping extreme long survival in GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor that occurs in adults. In spite of prompt diagnosis and rapidly administered treatment, the survival expectancy is tremendously poor. Extensive research has been performed in order to establish factors to predict the outcome of GBM patients; however, worldwide accepted prognostic markers are still lacking. METHODS We retrospectively assessed all adult patients who were diagnosed with primary GBM and underwent surgical treatment during a three-year period (January 2017-December 2019) in the Neurosurgery Department of the Emergency Clinical County Hospital of Târgu Mureș, Romania. Our aim was to find any statistically relevant connections between clinical, imagistic, and histopathological characteristics and patients' survival. RESULTS A total of 75 patients were eventually included in our statistical analysis: 40 males and 35 females, with a median age of 61 years. The mean tumor dimension was 45.28 ± 15.52 mm, while the mean survival rate was 4 ± 6.75 months. A univariate analysis demonstrated a statistically significant impact of tumor size, pre-, and postoperative KPSI on survival rate. In addition, a Cox multivariate assessment strengthened previous findings regarding postoperative KPSI (regression coefficient -0.03, HR 0.97, 95% CI (HR) 0.96-0.99, p = 0.002) as a favorable prognostic factor and GBM size (regression coefficient 0.03, HR 1.03, 95% CI (HR) 1.01-1.05, p = 0.005) as a poor prognostic marker for patients' survival. CONCLUSIONS The results of our retrospective study are consistent with prior scientific results that provide evidence supporting the importance of clinical (quantified by KPSI) and imagistic (particularly tumor dimensions) features as reliable prognostic factors in GBM patients' survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In spite of the changes for the treatment of glioblastoma since 2005, we have not seen differences between long-survival patients of more than 10 years showing a value minor than 1%. MATERIAL AND METHOD We realize a systematic analysis and identify important factors for long survivor patients. We also show an own case with more of 20 years of survival. We make a new pathological study of the old paraffin block of this patient. RESULTS The most important variable associated with long-survival between all multivariant studies is the age. When we try to find genetic and molecular alterations in glioblastoma associated with prolongated survival, the MGMT promoter methylation play the most important role. We find a correct diagnosis in the current analysis of our patient's sample with very long survival. CONCLUSIONS Multiple variables are found that affect long survival of glioblastoma series but analyzed studies are very heterogeneous and it is very difficult comparation between them. Most articles we review are obtained from databases of different countries with hundreds of patients. It would be very interesting to promote the use of a single database in Spain that allows us to study these long-term glioblastoma survivors.

Tooth Formation as Experimental Model to Study Chemotherapy on Tissue Development: Effect of a Specific Dose of Temozolomide/Veliparib. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13071198.

Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy treatment of cancer in children can influence formation of normal tissues, leading to irreversible changes in their structure and function. Tooth formation is susceptible to several types of chemotherapy that induce irreversible changes in the structure of enamel, dentin and dental root morphology. These changes can make the teeth more prone to fracture or to caries when they have erupted. Recent studies report successful treatment of brain tumors with the alkylating drug temozolomide (TMZ) in combination with veliparib (VLP) in a glioblastoma in vivo mouse model. Whether these drugs also affect tooth formation is unknown. Aim: In this study the effect of TMZ/VLP on incisor formation was investigated in tissue sections of jaws from mice and compared with mice not treated with these drugs. Materials and method: The following aspects were studied using immunohistochemistry of specific protein markers including: (1) proliferation (by protein expression of proliferation marker Ki67) (2) a protein involved in paracellular ion transport (expression of tight junction (TJ) protein claudin-1) and (3) in transcellular passage of ions across the dental epithelium (expression of Na+, K+ 2Cl- cotransporter/NKCC1). Results: Chemotherapy with TMZ/VLP strongly reduced immunostaining for claudin-1 in distal parts of maturation ameloblasts. No gross changes were found in the treated mice, either in cell proliferation in the dental epithelium at the cervical loop or in the immunostaining pattern for NKCC1 in (non-ameloblastic) dental epithelium. The salivary glands in the treated mice contained strongly reduced immunostaining for NKCC1 in the basolateral membranes of acinar cells. Discussion/Conclusions: Based on the reduction of claudin-1 immunostaining in ameloblasts, TMZ/VLP may potentially influence forming enamel by changes in the structure of TJs structures in maturation ameloblasts, structures that are crucial for the selective passage of ions through the intercellular space between neighboring ameloblasts. The strongly reduced basolateral NKCC1 staining seen in fully-grown salivary glands of TMZ/VLP-treated mice suggests that TMZ/VLF could also influence ion transport in adult saliva by the salivary gland epithelium. This may cause treated children to be more susceptible to caries.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive tumor that has a poor prognosis with a median survival of 15 months with treatment and 3-4 months without treatment. Subsets of patients are found to survive longer than two years, some survivors lived more than 10 years, and rare cases survived 20 years or more with treatment. Better prognosis has been found to be associated with many factors. Some of these factors are related to patients' characteristics, biological factors that impact tumor aggressiveness, and/or factors associated with treatment. However, the exact contribution for extended survival is still not known. Finding the factors that have a strong impact on the long survival is of high importance and can help give hope to better treat glioblastoma cases. In this report, we present a case of a glioblastoma patient who was diagnosed at the age of 47 years with more than 20-year survival. We further discuss the suggested factors that may have contributed to a better prognosis with a focus on the possible role of varicella-zoster infection in mediating long-term survival.

Abstract
Background Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors are often associated with high symptom burden and a poor prognosis from the time of diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data from long-term survivors (LTS; ≥5-year survival post-diagnosis). Methods Clinical/treatment/molecular characteristics and PROs (symptom burden/interference (MDASI-BT/SP), perceived cognition (Neuro-QoL), anxiety/depression (PROMIS), and general health status (EQ-5D-3L)) were collected on 248 adult LTS between 9/2016 and 8/2019. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to report results. Results Participants had a median age of 47 years (19-82) and were primarily White (83%) males (51%) with high-grade tumors (59%) and few mutations. Forty-two percent of the 222 brain tumor LTS reported no moderate-to-severe symptoms, whereas 45% reported three or more; most common symptoms were fatigue (40%), difficulty remembering (29%), and drowsiness (28%). Among spine tumor LTS (n = 42), nearly half reported moderate-to-severe weakness, pain, fatigue, and numbness/tingling, with 72% experiencing activity-related interference. Severe anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms were reported in up to 23% of the sample. Brain tumor LTS at higher risk for severe symptoms were more likely to be young, unemployed, and have poor KPS (Karnofsky Performance Status), whereas high symptom-risk spinal cord tumor LTS had poor KPS and received any tumor treatment. Conclusions Findings indicate LTS fall into distinct cohorts with no significant symptoms or very high symptom burden, regardless of tumor grade or mutational profile. These LTS data demonstrate the need for survivorship care programs and future studies to explore the symptom trajectory of all CNS tumor patients for prevention and early interventions.

[PMID: 32589560 PMCID: PMC8206461 DOI: 10.2174/1570159x18666200626204005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ), an oral alkylating prodrug which delivers a methyl group to purine bases of DNA (O6-guanine; N7-guanine and N3-adenine), is frequently used together with radiotherapy as part of the first-line treatment of high-grade gliomas. The main advantages are its high oral bioavailability (almost 100% although the concentration found in the cerebrospinal fluid was approximately 20% of the plasma concentration of TMZ), its lipophilic properties, and small size that confer the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Furthermore, this agent has demonstrated activity not only in brain tumors but also in a variety of solid tumors. However, conventional therapy using surgery, radiation, and TMZ in glioblastoma results in a median patient survival of 14.6 months. Treatment failure has been associated with tumor drug resistance. This phenomenon has been linked to the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, but the mismatch repair system and the presence of cancer stem-like cells in tumors have also been related to TMZ resistance. The understanding of these mechanisms is essential for the development of new therapeutic strategies in the clinical use of TMZ, including the use of nanomaterial delivery systems and the association with other chemotherapy agents. The aim of this review is to summarize the resistance mechanisms of TMZ and the current advances to improve its clinical use.

Abstract
For over a century, gliomas were characterized solely by histologic features. With the publication of the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System, Revised 4th Edition in 2016, integrated histologic and molecular diagnosis became the norm, providing improved tumor grading and prognosis with IDH1/2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2) mutation being the most significant prognostic feature in all grades of adult diffuse glioma. Since then, much work has been done to identify additional molecular prognostic features, but the bulk of the progress has been made in defining aggressive features in lower grade astrocytoma. Although there have been several large case series of glioblastomas with long-term survival (LTS; overall survival ≥36 months), less is known about the clinical and molecular features of these cases. Herein, we review 19 studies examining LTS glioblastoma patients from 2009 to 2020 that include variable molecular analysis, including 465 cases with survival of 36 months or more (total n = 2328). These studies suggest that while there is no definitive molecular signature of long survival, younger age, IDH mutation, and MGMT (methyl guanine methyl transferase) promoter hypermethylation are associated with longer overall survival, and in IDH-wildtype tumors, chromosome 19/20 co-gain and lack of EGFR amplification, chromosome 7 gain/10 loss, and TERT promoter mutation are associated with LTS.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most lethal malignant primary brain tumor; nevertheless, there remains a lack of accurate prognostic markers and drug targets. In this study, we analyzed 117 primary glioblastoma patients’ data that contained SNP, DNA copy, DNA methylation, mRNA expression, and clinical information. After the quality of control examination, we conducted the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, copy number variation (CNV) analysis, and infiltrated immune cells estimate. And moreover, by using the cluster of cluster analysis (CoCA) methods, we finally divided these GBM patients into two novel subtypes, HX-1 (Cluster 1) and HX-2 (Cluster 2), which could be co-characterized by 3 methylation variable positions [cg16957313(DUSP1), cg17783509(PHOX2B), cg23432345(HOXA7)] and 15 (PCDH1, CYP27B1, LPIN3, GPR32, BCL6, OR4Q3, MAGI3, SKIV2L, PCSK5, AKAP12, UBE3B, MAP4, TP53BP1, F5, RHOBTB1) gene mutations pattern. Compared to HX-1 subtype, the HX-2 subtype was identified with higher gene co-occurring events, tumor mutation burden (TBM), and poor median overall survival [231.5 days (HX-2) vs. 445 days (HX-1), P-value = 0.00053]. We believe that HX-1 and HX-2 subtypes may make sense as the potential prognostic biomarkers for patients with glioblastoma.

Abstract
AIM Despite the advances in surgery and radio-chemotherapy, the prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor with about 13% of patients alive at 24 months. METHODS A total of 75 long-term survivors (LTS), defined as alive at least 24 months from diagnosis, were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free-survival (RFS) were calculated and related to patient characteristics and treatment received. RESULTS Median age and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) were 56 years and 100%, respectively. After surgery (gross tumor resection-GTR in 62, 83% patients), all LTS received concomitant temozolomide (TMZ) with radiotherapy and 70 (93%) adjuvant TMZ. Of these, 10 (13%) discontinued TMZ prior the completion of 6 cycles, 37 (49%) received 6 cycles and 23 (31%) >6 cycles. Sixty-nine (92%) patients experienced a first tumor recurrence at a median time of 21 months. Of these, 32 (46%) were submitted to a second surgery, 34 (49%) to other no-surgical treatments and 3 (5%) only supportive care. At multivariate analysis, OS was significantly improved by second surgery after first recurrence (P = 0.0032) and by cycles of adjuvant TMZ > 6 versus ≤6 (P = 0.05). More than six cycles of TMZ significantly conditioned also first RFS (P = 0.011) and second RFS (P = 0.033). CONCLUSION The large majority of LTS had <65 years, had a high KPS and received GTR. OS and RFS resulted significantly related to an extended administration of adjuvant TMZ (>6 cycles) and a second surgery in case of recurrence.
