Lifestyle and metabolic factors affect risk for meningioma in women: a prospective population-based study (The Cohort of Norway). Front Oncol 2024; 14:1428142. [PMID: 39188673 PMCID: PMC11345274 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1428142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Meningioma is the most common primary brain tumor, with a clear preponderance in women. Obesity is considered a risk factor for the development of meningioma. Obesity is also the clinical hallmark of metabolic syndrome, characterized by glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Lifestyle and metabolic factors directly impact overweight and obesity and are therefore potential risk factors for meningioma development. The aim of this study is to assess lifestyle and metabolic factors for meningioma risk in women. Methods The Cohort of Norway (CONOR) is a nationwide health survey, conducted between 1994 and 2003, including anthropometric measures, blood tests, and health questionnaires. Linkage to the National Cancer Registry enabled the identification of intracranial meningioma during follow-up until December 2018. Results A total of 81,652 women were followed for a combined total of 1.5 million years, and 238 intracranial meningiomas were identified. Increasing levels of physical activity (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.68-0.96; p trend <0.02) and parity (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.71-0.97; p trend <0.03) were negatively associated with meningioma risk. Diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance increased the risk for meningioma (HR 2.54; 95% CI 1.60-4.05). Overweight and obesity were not associated with meningioma risk, nor was metabolic syndrome. However, participants without metabolic dysfunction had a reduced meningioma risk, while participants with all five metabolic factors present had a 4-fold risk increase for meningioma (HR 4.28; 95% CI 1.34-13.68). Conclusion Lifestyle factors seem to significantly influence meningioma risk. However, disentangling the complex associations and interactions between factors for meningioma risk will be a challenging task for future studies.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a complex organ that is increasingly being recognised as the largest endocrine organ in the body. Adipocytes among multiple cell types of adipose tissue can secrete a variety of adipokines, which are involved in signalling pathways and these can be changed by obesity and cancer. There are proposed mechanisms to link obesity/adiposity to cancer development including adipocytokine dysregulation. Among these adipokines, leptin acts through multiple pathways including the STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K pathways involved in cell growth. Adiponectin has the opposite action from leptin in tumour growth partly because of increased apoptotic responses of p53 and Bax. Visfatin increases cancer cell proliferation through ERK1/2, PI3K/AKT, and p38 which are stimulated by proinflammatory cytokines. Omentin through the PI3K/Akt-Nos pathway is involved in cancer-tumour development. Apelin might be involved through angiogenesis in tumour progressions. PAI-1 via its anti-fibrinolytic activity on cell adhesion and uPA/uPAR activity influence cancer cell growth.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the risk of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumour incidence in a cohort of 22,377 Mayak Production Association workers chronically exposed to ionising radiation. There were 96 primary CNS tumours, including 42 cases of glioma and 44 cases of meningioma, registered during the whole follow-up period (1948-2018). The study demonstrated that the risk of primary CNS tumour incidence was associated with sex, attained age, calendar period, tall body height, age at the beginning of exposure, and facility type. There was no association found between risk of CNS tumour incidence and body mass index, smoking (males) and alcohol consumption status. The study did not find an effect of the total external gamma radiation dose absorbed in the brain on risk of CNS tumour incidence irrespective of whether an adjustment for the total external neutron dose absorbed in the brain was included or not. Excess relative risk per 1 Gy of external gamma brain dose was 0.05 (95% confidence interval (CI) -0.30; 0.70) for all CNS tumours, -0.18 (95% CI -; 0.44) for gliomas, and 0.38 (95% CI -0.32; 2.08) for meningiomas without adjustment for total neutron brain dose. There was no effect modification by sex, attained age, age at hire or facility.

Abstract
Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors of the anterior portion of the pituitary gland (adenohypophysis), representing the 25% of all the tumor alterations. Pituitary adenomas are classified by the type of hormone secreted, cellularity, size, and structural alterations by the hormonal segregation. The diagnosis consists on the histopathological identification of cell types and the image-guided by magnetic resonance or tomography; the treatment can be both pharmacological and surgical. Metabolic Syndrome is the set of clinical conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases with an estimated prevalence of 25% worldwide. The alterations of metabolic syndrome are obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus type II. Pituitary adenomas and metabolic syndrome have an important relationship, hormone-secreting by pituitary adenomas affects a myriad of signaling pathways, which allows a favorable environment for the appearance of the metabolic syndrome. Moreover, patients with pituitary adenomas are shown to have an improvement in metabolic parameters after the medical/surgical treatment. The objective of this review is to explore the possible mechanisms through which PAs contributes to MetSx.

A Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Radiomics and Clinical Predictive Model for the Regrowth of Postoperative Residual Tumor in Non-Functioning Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumor. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1525. [PMID: 37763643 PMCID: PMC10535289 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59091525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: To develop a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics-clinical risk stratification model to predict the regrowth of postoperative residual tumors in patients with non-functioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PitNETs). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 114 patients diagnosed as NF-PitNET with postoperative residual tumors after the first operation, and the diameter of the tumors was greater than 10 mm. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify independent clinical risk factors. We identified the optimal sequence to generate an appropriate radiomic score (Rscore) that combined pre- and postoperative radiomic features. Three models were established by logistic regression analysis that combined clinical risk factors and radiomic features (Model 1), single clinical risk factors (Model 2) and single radiomic features (Model 3). The models' predictive performances were evaluated using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and area under curve (AUC) values. A nomogram was developed and evaluated using decision curve analysis. Results: Knosp classification and preoperative tumor volume doubling time (TVDT) were high-risk factors (p < 0.05) with odds ratios (ORs) of 2.255 and 0.173. T1WI&T1CE had a higher AUC value (0.954) and generated an Rscore. Ultimately, the AUC of Model 1 {0.929 [95% Confidence interval (CI), 0.865-0.993]} was superior to Model 2 [0.811 (95% CI, 0.704-0.918)] and Model 3 [0.844 (95% CI, 0.748-0.941)] in the training set, which were 0.882 (95% CI, 0.735-1.000), 0.834 (95% CI, 0.676-0.992) and 0.763 (95% CI, 0.569-0.958) in the test set, respectively. Conclusions: We trained a novel radiomics-clinical predictive model for identifying patients with NF-PitNETs at increased risk of postoperative residual tumor regrowth. This model may help optimize individualized and stratified clinical treatment decisions.

The impact of body mass index and height on risk for primary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves in 1.7 million norwegian women and men: a prospective cohort study. Acta Oncol 2022; 61:1-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves comprise a heterogenous group of pathology, dominantly represented by meningioma, nerve sheath tumours (NST) and glioma. Body height and body mass index (BMI) are risk factors for certain brain tumour subgroups, but no other study has specifically assessed height and BMI in relation to primary tumours of the spine and peripheral nerves in women and men. METHODS In this prospective population-based cohort study height and weight were measured in 1.7 million adult Norwegian women and men at baseline. Incident cases of primary tumours arising from the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves during follow-up were identified by linkage to the National Cancer Registry. Tumour risk was assessed by Cox regression analyses in relation to height and BMI. RESULTS During 49 million person-years of follow-up, 857 primary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves were identified. Overweight and obesity were not associated with risk for all tumours or any tumour subgroup. Height was positively associated with risk for all tumours (HR per 10 cm increase: 1.30, 95% CI 1.16-1.46). The association between height and tumour risk varied between tumour subgroups: while height was not significantly associated with NST, height increased the risk for meningioma (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.13-1.78) and glioma (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.28). The strongest association between height and tumour risk was found for the glioma subgroup of ependymoma in women (HR 3.38, 95% CI 1.64-6.94). CONCLUSION This study could not identify overweight and obesity as risk factors for primary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves in women or men. Increasing body height was associated with increased tumour risk overall, but not universal for all tumour subgroups.Importance of the studyPrimary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves have received little focus in epidemiologic studies, although the incidence and histo-pathological tumour subgroups differ significantly from primary brain tumours. Risk factors for these tumours have hardly been assessed in previous studies. Height, overweight and obesity are known risk factors for several cancers, including certain brain tumour subgroups, such as meningioma.This is the first study to report the association between height, overweight and obesity and primary tumours of the spinal cord, spinal meninges, spinal and peripheral nerves. This includes tumour subgroups of meningioma, nerve sheath tumour, glioma and the most common spinal glioma subgroup of ependymoma. While overweight and obesity were not associated with either of the tumour subgroups, an association between increasing body height and risk for spinal meningioma and glioma, including ependymoma, was found. Nerve sheath tumour risk was not associated with increasing body height.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between glioma risk and body mass index (BMI) remains obscure. METHODS This study aimed to assess the association between glioma risk and BMI in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS The onset of a total of 269 gliomas was observed during a median follow-up period of 12.04 years. Compared with the normal weight, overweight (HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 0.80, 1.39) and obesity (HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.56, 1.39) were not significantly associated with glioma risk. Further analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between glioma risk and BMI in men but not women. The multivariable-adjusted HRs per unit increase in BMI were 0.94 (95% CI: 0.89, 1.00; P = 0.037) in men with BMI >25 kg/m2 and 1.16 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.38; P = 0.075) in men with BMI <25 kg/m2. CONCLUSION The present data provide evidence that there may be a nonlinear association between BMI and glioma risk in men. The risk of glioma decreased with increasing BMI among men with BMI >25 kg/m2. Future studies are needed to validate our observation.

Abstract
Background The association between height and the risk of developing primary brain malignancy remains unclear. We evaluated the association between height and risk of primary brain malignancy based on a nationwide population-based database of Koreans. Methods Using data from the Korean National Health Insurance System cohort, 6 833 744 people over 20 years of age that underwent regular national health examination were followed from January 2009 until the end of 2017. We documented 4771 cases of primary brain malignancy based on an ICD-10 code of C71 during the median follow-up period of 7.30 years and 49 877 983 person-years. Results When dividing the population into quartiles of height for each age group and sex, people within the highest height quartile had a significantly higher risk of brain malignancy, compared to those within the lowest height quartile (HR 1.21 CI 1.18–1.32) after adjusting for potential confounders. We also found that the risk of primary brain malignancy increased in proportion with the quartile increase in height. After analyzing subgroups based on older age (≥ 65) and sex, we found positive relationships between height and primary brain malignancy in all subgroups. Conclusions This study is the first to suggest that height is associated with an increased risk of primary brain malignancy in the East-Asian population. Further prospective and larger studies with precise designs are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing epidemiological evidence suggests that diabetes may be associated with meningioma risk, but the evidence supporting this association is still inconclusive. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of all eligible observational studies to evaluate the potential association of diabetes with meningioma risk. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed in the PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases up to November 30, 2020. A random-effects model was applied to calculate the pooled effect size (ES) and its 95 % confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Eight studies were included in this study. In a random-effects pooled analysis, the results showed that DM (diabetes mellitus) increased the risk of meningioma (ES 1.17, 95 % CI: 1.02-1.35, P = 0.027). In subgroup analyses, DM increased the risk of meningioma in women (ES: 1.19, 95 % CI: 1.02-1.40, P = 0.027) and men (ES: 1.53, 95 % CI: 1.25-1.88, P = 0.000). This effect was not observed in the postmenopausal group (ES: 1.18, 95 % CI: 0.64-2.18, P = 0.597). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis showed that DM increases the risk of meningioma, but the association was only present in some subgroups. This conclusion should be further confirmed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pituitary adenoma (PA) is a benign neuroendocrine tumor caused by adenohypophysial cells, and accounts for 10%-20% of all primary intracranial tumors. The surgical outcomes and prognosis of giant pituitary adenomas measuring ≥3 cm in diameter differ significantly due to the influence of multiple factors such as tumor morphology, invasion site, pathological characteristics and so on. The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors related to the recurrence or progression of giant and large PAs after transnasal sphenoidal surgery, and develop a predictive model for tumor prognosis. METHODS The clinical and follow-up data of 172 patients with large or giant PA who underwent sphenoidal surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The basic clinical information (age, gender, past medical history etc.), imaging features (tumor size, invasion characteristics, extent of resection etc.), and histopathological characteristics (pathological results, Ki-67, P53 etc.) were retrieved. SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the R software was used to establish the predictive nomogram. RESULTS Seventy out of the 172 examined cases (40.7%) had tumor recurrence or progression. The overall progress free survival (PFS) rates of the patients at 1, 3 and 5 years after surgery were 90.70%, 79.65% and 59.30% respectively. Log-rank test indicated that BMI (P < 0.001), Knosp classification (P < 0.001), extent of resection (P < 0.001), Ki-67 (P < 0.001), sphenoidal sinus invasion (P = 0.001), Hardy classification (P = 0.003) and smoking history (P = 0.018) were significantly associated with post-surgery recurrence or progression. Cox regression analysis further indicated that smoking history, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, Knosp classification grade 4, partial resection and ≥3% Ki-67 positive rate were independent risk factors of tumor recurrence or progression (P < 0.05). In addition, the nomogram and ROC curve based on the above results indicated significant clinical value. CONCLUSION The postoperative recurrence or progression of large and giant PAs is related to multiple factors and a prognostic nomogram based on BMI (≥25 kg/m2), Knosp classification (grade 4), extent of resection (partial resection) and Ki-67 (≥3%) can predict the recurrence or progression of large and giant PAs after transnasal sphenoidal surgery.

Height as a risk factor in meningioma: a study of 2 million Israeli adolescents. BMC Cancer 2020; 20:786. [PMID: 32819306 PMCID: PMC7441683 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07292-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors. Potential risk factors include obesity, height, history of allergy/atopy, and autoimmune diseases, but findings are conflicting. This study sought to assess the role of the different risk factors in the development of meningioma in adolescents/young adults. METHODS The cohort included 2,035,915 Jewish men and women who had undergone compulsory physical examination between 1967 and 2011, at age 16 to 19 years, prior to and independent of actual military enlistment. To determine the incidence of meningioma, the military database was matched with the Israel National Cancer Registry. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios for meningioma according to sex, body mass index (BMI), height, and history of allergic or autoimmune disease. RESULTS A total of 480 subjects (328 females) were diagnosed with meningioma during a follow-up of 40,304,078 person-years. Median age at diagnosis was 42.1 ± 9.4 years (range 17.4-62.6). On univariate analysis, female sex (p < 0.01) and height (p < 0.01) were associated with risk of meningioma. When the data were stratified by sex, height remained a significant factor only in men. Spline analysis of the male subjects showed that a height of 1.62 m was associated with a minimum disease risk and a height of 1.85+ meters, with a significant risk. CONCLUSIONS This large population study showed that sex and adolescent height in males (> 1.85 m) were associated with an increased risk of meningioma in adulthood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a paucity of data describing long-term outcomes of paediatric patients with pituitary adenoma. In this report, we describe clinical features, treatment and outcomes of a paediatric cohort. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS Twenty-four white Caucasian patients aged <16 years from a single tertiary care centre in the United Kingdom at diagnosis followed for (median, range) 3.3, 0.7-8.4 years. MEASUREMENTS Clinical and radiological data at diagnosis and follow-up. RESULTS Thirteen patients had prolactinomas (54.1%, age: 15.2 years, 13.2-15.8 years; all females), including ten macroadenomas (11.0-35.0 mm). Patients presented with menstrual disorders (91%), headache (46%), galactorrhoea (46%) and obesity (body mass index [BMI] SDS > 2): (38%). Ten patients with prolactinoma were treated with dopamine agonist alone, 3 also required surgery and 2 patients, cabergoline, surgery plus radiotherapy. Five patients had Cushing's disease (20.8%, age: 14.0, 4.0-15.7 years; 2 female), including one macroadenoma (24 mm). Patients presented with obesity (100%), short stature (60%) and headache (40%). Transsphenoidal resection resulted in biochemical cure (09.00 cortisol < 50 nmol/L). Two patients relapsed 3- and 6 years following surgery, requiring radiotherapy. One patient also required bilateral adrenalectomy. Six patients had nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (25.0%, age: 15.8, 12.5-16.0 years; 2 female), including two macroadenomas (20.0-53.0 mm). Patients presented with obesity (67%), visual field defects (50%) and headache (50%). Four required surgical resections; two recurred following surgery and required radiotherapy. On latest follow-up; 13 (54.1%) patients were obese (BMI 3.09 SDS; range: 2.05-3.73 SDS). CONCLUSION Obesity is common at diagnosis of pituitary adenoma in childhood and may persist despite successful treatment. Adenomas were larger, more resistant to treatment, and more likely to recur than in adult populations.

Abstract
The WHO 2007 glioma classification system (based primarily on tumour histology) resulted in considerable interobserver variability and substantial variation in patient survival within grades. Furthermore, few risk factors for glioma were known. Discoveries over the past decade have deepened our understanding of the molecular alterations underlying glioma and have led to the identification of numerous genetic risk factors. The advances in molecular characterization of glioma have reframed our understanding of its biology and led to the development of a new classification system for glioma. The WHO 2016 classification system comprises five glioma subtypes, categorized by both tumour morphology and molecular genetic information, which led to reduced misclassification and improved consistency of outcomes within glioma subtypes. To date, 25 risk loci for glioma have been identified and several rare inherited mutations that might cause glioma in some families have been discovered. This Review focuses on the two dominant trends in glioma science: the characterization of diagnostic and prognostic tumour markers and the identification of genetic and other risk factors. An overview of the many challenges still facing glioma researchers is also included.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intracranial meningiomas are relatively rare in young adults, and their specific clinical features remain unclear. The authors analyzed the clinical characteristics of intracranial meningioma in patients younger than 40 years. METHODS Consecutive patients younger than 40 years with meningioma (n = 223) who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital from 2010 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The study cases was further divided into a younger group (≤ 30 years old; n = 63) and an older group (31-40 years old; n = 160). The clinical information, radiological characteristics, intraoperative findings, and pathological outcomes were extracted from the patients' records and statistically analyzed. RESULTS Intracranial meningioma is uncommon in patients younger than 40 years (8.6%). The study group's most common symptoms at presentation were headaches (46.7%), visual impairment (27.8%), limb weakness (20.6%), and epilepsy (13.5%). The mean tumor size was larger (51.47 ± 50.36 cm3) in the younger group than in the older group (22.94 ± 27.20 cm3). According to multivariate analyses, young age was an independent predictor of large tumor size, and large tumor size was significantly associated with peritumoral brain edema and intraoperative blood loss. CONCLUSION Intracranial meningiomas in younger adult patients may have special complexity and perioperative risk due to large tumor sizes. Therefore, individualized treatment strategy is recommended, and the appropriate caution should be taken during surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is well-known as the second factor for tumorigenesis after smoking and is bound up with the malignant progression of several kinds of cancers, including esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and ovarian cancer. The increased morbidity and mortality of obesity-related cancer are mostly attributed to dysfunctional adipose tissue. The possible mechanisms connecting dysfunctional adipose tissue to high cancer risk mainly focus on chronic inflammation, obesity-related microenvironment, adipokine secretion disorder, and browning of adipose tissue, and so forth. The stromal vascular cells in adipose tissue trigger chronic inflammation through secreting inflammatory factors and promote cancer cell proliferation. Hypertrophic adipose tissues lead to metabolic disorders of adipocytes, such as abnormal levels of adipokines that mediate cancer progression and metastasis. Cancer patients often show adipose tissue browning and cancerous cachexia in an advanced stage, which lead to unsatisfied chemotherapy effect and poor prognosis. However, increasing evidence has shown that adipose tissue may display quite opposite effects in cancer development. Therefore, the interaction between cancers and adipose tissue exert a vital role in mediates adipose tissue dysfunction and further leads to cancer progression. In conclusion, targeting the dysfunction of adipose tissue provides a promising strategy for cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that taller individuals are at greater risk of developing cancer. Death from cancer and other specific causes have also been linked to height, but the results have been inconclusive. We aimed to shed further light on the associations between height, cancer incidence and mortality. METHODS We conducted a nationwide, population-based prospective cohort study, including 5.5 million Swedish women and men (aged 20-74). They were followed over a period of up to 54 years. Heights were retrieved from national registers (mainly the Passport Register where heights are most often self-reported). The risks of overall and specific cancers, as well as overall and cause-specific mortality, were presented as HR with 95% CIs per 10 cm increase in height. RESULTS A total of 278 299 cases of cancer and 139 393 cases of death were identified. For overall cancer, HR was 1.19 (1.18-1.20) in women and 1.11 (1.10-1.12) in men for every 10 cm increase in height. All 15 specific cancer types were positively associated with height-most strongly for malignant melanoma in both genders, with HRs of 1.39 (1.35-1.43) in women and 1.34 (1.30-1.38) in men. For overall mortality, HR was 0.98 (0.97-0.99) in women and 0.91 (0.90-0.92) in men for every 10 cm increase in height. Cancer mortality was increased in taller individuals, with HR 1.15 (1.13-1.17) in women and 1.05 (1.03-1.07) in men for every 10 cm increase in height, whereas shorter individuals had increased overall mortality due to a number of other causes, such as cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION Overall and specific cancer risks, particularly malignant melanoma, were positively associated with height. Cancer mortality also increased with height. In contrast, overall mortality was decreased with height, particularly in men due to inverse associations with height for other causes of death.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to evaluate the association of CETP (rs5882 and rs708272) single nucleotide polymorphisms with the presence, invasiveness, hormonal activity and recurrence of pituitary adenoma (PA). METHODS The study group included 142 patients with PA and the control group, 753 healthy subjects. The genotyping of CETP (rs5882 and rs708272) was performed using a real-time PCR method. RESULTS After statistical analysis we found that CETP rs708272 genotype G/A under the over-dominant model was associated with the decreased odds of PA (OR=0.637; 95%CI: 0.443-0.917; P=0.015), active PA (OR=0.538; 95%CI: 0.335-0.865; P =0.01) and non-recurrent PA (OR=0.602; 95% CI: 0.402 - 0.902; P =0.014). When compared to controls, the rs708272 genotype G/A was less frequent in the active PA subgroup (37.5% vs 52.7%, P =0.009) and the non-recurrent PA subgroup (40.2% vs 52.7%, P=0.013), while the rs5882 genotype A/A was less frequent in the non-recurrent PA subgroup (37.5% vs 46.2%, P=0.015). CONCLUSION Our study showed that CETP rs708272 genotype G/A may be associated with a decreased risk of PA.

Abstract
Gliomas represent the most common primary malignant brain tumors in adults, with an extremely poor prognosis. Among several risk factors, lifestyle was also recently identified as a major risk factor for the development of primary glioma. In the present study, we explore the relationship between obesity and glioma in a cellular model. Thus, we have study the influence of adipocytes secretome on glioma cell line GL261. Using the 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell line, and its conditioned medium (adipokines-enriched medium), we showed that adipocyte-released factors relate with glioma angiogenic, growth, hormones and metabolic behavior by MALDI-TOF-MS and proteomic array analysis. In a first view, STI1, hnRNPs and PGK1 are under expressed on CGl. Similarly, both carbonic anhydrase and aldose reductase are even suppressed in glioma cells that grown under adipokines-enriched environment. Contrariwise, RFC1, KIF5C, ANXA2, N-RAP and RACK1 are overexpressed in GL261 cell the in the presence of the adipokines-enriched medium. We further identified the factors that are released by adipocyte cells, and revealed that several pro-inflammatory and angiogenic factors, such as IL-6, IL-11, LIF, PAI-1, TNF-α, endocan, HGF, VEGF IGF-I, were secreted to the medium into a high extent, whereas TIMP-1 and SerpinE1 were under expressed on CGl. This study discloses an interesting in vitro model for the study of glioma biology under a "obesity" environment, that can be explored for the understanding of cancer cells biology, for the search of biomarkers, prognostic markers and therapeutic approaches.

[PMID: 30711123 PMCID: PMC6519073 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2018.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2018] [Revised: 06/26/2018] [Accepted: 07/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of incidental meningioma and identify associated factors in a population-based sample of participants who systematically underwent brain imaging. PATIENTS AND METHODS We searched the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, a population-based sample of Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents who underwent longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Using a text search of radiologists' notes for 2402 individuals (median age, 75.0 years) who underwent imaging between August 10, 2005, and July 31, 2014, we identified 52 patients (2.2%) who had at least one meningioma. We estimated the association of selected risk factors with the presence of meningioma using odds ratios and 95% CIs from logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex. Based on these results, we moved the most significant variables forward to a multivariable model. RESULTS Controlling for age and sex, significant associations with the presence of meningioma included higher body mass index (odds ratio [OR], 1.06; 95% CI, 1.01-1.12; P=.03), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.13-3.95; P=.02), aspirin (OR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.05-3.46; P=.04), and blood pressure-lowering medication (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.06-3.99; P=.03). Lower risk was associated with male sex (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29-0.90; P=.02), coronary artery disease (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.22-0.97; P=.04), and higher self-reported anxiety (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78-0.98; P=.02). Simultaneous adjustment for all of these factors except aspirin in a multivariable model did not attenuate these associations (concordance, 0.71). CONCLUSION In a population-based sample of 2402 participants, 52 (2.2%) had an incidental meningioma. They were more likely to be female and have higher body mass index. Meningioma was also associated with certain medications (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and blood pressure-lowering medications) and inversely with anxiety and coronary artery disease.

Mendelian randomization provides support for obesity as a risk factor for meningioma. Sci Rep 2019; 9:309. [PMID: 30670737 PMCID: PMC6343031 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36186-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2018] [Accepted: 11/16/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Little is known about the causes of meningioma. Obesity and obesity-related traits have been reported in several epidemiological observational studies to be risk factors for meningioma. We performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with obesity-related traits to assess the relationship with meningioma risk using Mendelian randomization (MR), an approach unaffected by biases from temporal variability and reverse causation that might have affected earlier investigations. We considered 11 obesity-related traits, identified genetic instruments for these factors, and assessed their association with meningioma risk using data from a genome-wide association study comprising 1,606 meningioma patients and 9,823 controls. To evaluate the causal relationship between the obesity-related traits and meningioma risk, we consider the estimated odds ratio (OR) of meningioma for each genetic instrument. We identified positive associations between body mass index (odds ratio [ORSD] = 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03–1.56, P = 0.028) and body fat percentage (ORSD = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.01–1.63, P = 0.042) with meningioma risk, albeit non-significant after correction for multiple testing. Associations for basal metabolic rate, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides and waist circumference with risk of meningioma were non-significant. Our analysis provides additional support for obesity being associated with an increased risk of meningioma.

Abstract
Glioma is known to be the most prevalent primary brain tumor. In recent years, there has been evidence indicating myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL1) plays a role in brain glioblastoma. Therefore, the present study was conducted with aims of exploring the ability of MCL1 silencing to influence glioma cell senescence and apoptosis through the mediation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. Glioma and tumor-adjacent tissues were collected in order to detect the presence of higher levels of MCL1 protein expression. Next, the mRNA and protein expression of MCL1, PI3K, Akt, B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), Bcl2-associated X (Bax), B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog (Bmi-1), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were determined. Cell counting kit-8 assay was applied to detect cell proliferation, β-galactosidase staining for cell senescence, and flow cytometry for cell cycle entry and apoptosis. Initially, the results revealed higher positive expression rate of MCL1 protein, increased mRNA and protein expression of MCL1, PI3K, Akt, Bmi-1, and Bcl-2 and decreased that of Bax and PTEN in human glioma tissues. The silencing of MCL1 resulted in a decrease in mRNA and protein expression of PI3K, Akt, Bmi-1, and Bcl-2 and an increase in Bax and PTEN expressions in glioma cells. Moreover, silencing of MCL1 also inhibited cell proliferation and cell cycle entry in glioma cells, and promoted glioma cell senescence and apoptosis. In conclusion, the aforementioned results collectively suggested that the silencing of MCL1 promotes senescence and apoptosis in glioma cells through inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Thus, decreasing the expression of MCL1 might have therapeutic functions in glioma. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 71(1):81-92, 2019.

[PMID: 30175510 PMCID: PMC6198197 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.1757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2018] [Revised: 08/01/2018] [Accepted: 08/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the study was to identify trends in incidence of adult diffuse gliomas in the United States and evaluate the contribution of age, period, and cohort effects to the trends. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 9 database, primary diffuse glioma patients (≥20 years old) diagnosed from 1973 to 2014 were identified. Incidence trends were analyzed using joinpoint regression and age-period-cohort modeling. RESULTS Overall, the incidence for adult glioma decreased slowly from 1985 to 2014 (annual percent change [APC] = 0.5%, 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.3%-0.6%). In histology subtype-stratified analysis, glioblastoma and nonglioblastoma exhibited opposite trends. The incidence for glioblastoma increased from 1978 to 2014 (APC for year 1978-1992 = 2.7%, 95% CI, 1.8%-3.6%; APC for 1992-2014 = 0.3%, 95% CI, 0%-0.6%), while the incidence for nonglioblastoma decreased significantly from 1982 to 2014 (APC = 2.2%, 95% CI, 2.0%-2.5%). Age-period-cohort modeling revealed significant period and cohort effects, with the patterns for glioblastoma and nonglioblastoma distinctive from each other. Compared with adults born 1890s, those born 1920s had approximately 4-fold the risk of glioblastoma after adjustment of age and period effects, while the risk of nonglioblastoma was reduced by half in individuals in the 1939 cohort as compared with those in the 1909 cohort. CONCLUSIONS The results support the hypothesis of etiological heterogeneity of diffuse gliomas by histology subtypes. The established risk factors cannot fully explain the distinct patterns by histology subtypes, which necessitate further epidemiological studies.
