Hypoxia-driven heterogeneous expression of α5 integrin in glioblastoma stem cells is linked to HIF-2α. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167471. [PMID: 39154793 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Despite numerous molecular targeted therapies tested in glioblastoma (GBM), no significant progress in patient survival has been achieved in the last 20 years in the overall population of GBM patients except with TTfield setup associated with the standard of care chemoradiotherapy. Therapy resistance is associated with target expression heterogeneity and plasticity between tumors and in tumor niches. We focused on α5 integrin implicated in aggressive GBM in preclinical and clinical samples. To address the characteristics of α5 integrin heterogeneity we started with patient data indicating that elevated levels of its mRNA are related to hypoxia pathways. We turned on glioma stem cells which are considered at the apex of tumor formation and recurrence but also as they localize in hypoxic niches. We demonstrated that α5 integrin expression is stem cell line dependent and is modulated positively by hypoxia in vitro. Importantly, heterogeneity of expression is conserved in in vivo stem cell-derived mice xenografts. In hypoxic niches, HIF-2α is preferentially implicated in α5 integrin expression which confers migratory capacity to GBM stem cells. Hence combining HIF-2α and α5 integrin inhibitors resulted in proliferation and migration impairment of α5 integrin expressing cells. Stabilization of HIF-2α is however not sufficient to control integrin α5 expression. Our results show that AHR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) expression is inversely related to HIF-2α and α5 integrin expressions suggesting a functional competition between the two transcription factors. Collectively, data confirm the high heterogeneity of a GBM therapeutic target, its induction in hypoxic niches by HIF-2α and suggest a new way to attack molecularly defined GBM stem cells.

Moreno-Londoño AP, Robles-Flores M. Functional Roles of CD133: More than Stemness Associated Factor Regulated by the Microenvironment. Stem Cell Rev Rep 2024; 20:25-51.

Abstract
CD133 protein has been one of the most used surface markers to select and identify cancer cells with stem-like features. However, its expression is not restricted to tumoral cells; it is also expressed in differentiated cells and stem/progenitor cells in various normal tissues. CD133 participates in several cellular processes, in part orchestrating signal transduction of essential pathways that frequently are dysregulated in cancer, such as PI3K/Akt signaling and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. CD133 expression correlates with enhanced cell self-renewal, migration, invasion, and survival under stress conditions in cancer. Aside from the intrinsic cell mechanisms that regulate CD133 expression in each cellular type, extrinsic factors from the surrounding niche can also impact CD33 levels. The enhanced CD133 expression in cells can confer adaptive advantages by amplifying the activation of a specific signaling pathway in a context-dependent manner. In this review, we do not only describe the CD133 physiological functions known so far, but importantly, we analyze how the microenvironment changes impact the regulation of CD133 functions emphasizing its value as a marker of cell adaptability beyond a cancer-stem cell marker.

Abstract
Development of the novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in neuro-oncology requires tumor models that closely reproduce the biological features of patients’ tumors. Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are recognized as a valuable and the most “close-to-patient” tool for preclinical studies. However, their establishment is complicated by the factors related to both the surgical material and technique of the orthotopic implantation. The aim of this work was to develop a patient-derived glioblastoma multiform (GBM) model that stably co-expresses luciferase and a far-red fluorescent protein for monitoring of tumor progression in the brain and, using this model, to validate new diagnostic methods—macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging (macro-FLIM) and cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP OCT). The established model was similar to the original patient’s GBM in terms of histological and immunohistochemical features and possessed reproducible growth in nude mice, which could be observed by both fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging. Our results demonstrated the high potential of macro-FLIM and CP OCT for intraoperative differentiation of GBM from the white matter. Thus, the dual-labeled PDX model of GBM proved to be an excellent approach for observation of tumor development by optical methods.

A2B5 Expression in Central Nervous System and Gliomas. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094670.

Abstract
A2B5 IgM recognizes c-series gangliosides with three sialic acids. The aim of this review was to focus on A2B5 expression in the central nervous system and gliomas. In brain development, A2B5+ cells are recorded in areas containing multipotent neural stem cells (NSC). In adults, A2B5+ cells persist in neurogenic areas and in white matter where it identifies oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) but also cells with NSC properties. Although the expression of A2B5 has been widely studied in culture, where it characterizes bipotential glial progenitor cells, its expression in vivo is less characterized mainly because of technical issues. A new interest was given to the NSCs and OPCs since the discovery of cancer stem cells (CSC) in gliomas. Among other cell surface molecules, A2B5 has been identified as an accurate marker to identify glioma CSCs. We and others have shown that all types of gliomas express A2B5, and that only A2B5+ cells, and not A2B5- cells, can generate a tumor after orthotopic implantation in immunocompromised animals. Moreover, A2B5 epitope expression is positively correlated with stemness and tumor growth. This review highlights that A2B5 is an attractive target to tackle glioma CSCs, and a better characterization of its expression in the developing and adult CNS will benefit to a better understanding of gliomagenesis.

Abstract
The problem of current treatment approaches to brain gliomas is short-term life expectancy in these patients. Apparently, it is required to change treatment approach via analysis of glioma stem cells rather cells with overexpression of marker genes. This review is devoted to similarities and differences between neurogenesis and neuro-oncogenesis characterized with molecular markers (CD133 as an example). The role of tumor stem cells and their relationship with neural stem cells are considered regarding development of glioma. The authors analyzed CD133 as a marker of glioma stem cells. In the future, stem cells will be important target for eradication during target therapy. A single molecular marker cannot characterize tumor stem cells as supported by CD133 studies. A set of molecular markers specific for certain cell type is required, and their combination will provide more accurate establishment of tumor stem cells.
