Abstract
Single-cell genomics technologies have accelerated our understanding of cell-state heterogeneity in diverse contexts. Although single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) identifies many rare populations of interest that express specific marker transcript combinations, traditional flow sorting limits our ability to enrich these populations for further profiling, including requiring cell surface markers with high-fidelity antibodies. Additionally, many single-cell studies require the isolation of nuclei from tissue, eliminating the ability to enrich learned rare cell states based on extranuclear protein markers. To address these limitations, we describe Programmable Enrichment via RNA Flow-FISH by sequencing (PERFF-seq), a scalable assay that enables scRNA-seq profiling of subpopulations from complex cellular mixtures defined by the presence or absence of specific RNA transcripts. Across immune populations (n = 141,227 cells) and fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissue (n = 29,522 nuclei), we demonstrate the sorting logic that can be used to enrich for cell populations via RNA-based cytometry followed by high-throughput scRNA-seq. Our approach provides a rational, programmable method for studying rare populations identified by one or more marker transcripts.

PeerJ 2024; 12:e16785. [PMID: 38274327 PMCID: PMC10809981 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Changes in protein glycosylation have been reported in various diseases, including cancer; however, the consequences of altered glycosylation in meningiomas remains undefined. We established two benign meningioma cell lines-SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14, WHO grade I-and demonstrated the glycan and glycosyltransferase profiles of the mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the primary benign meningioma cells compared with two malignant meningioma cell lines-HKBMM and IOMM-Lee, WHO grade III. Changes in O-linked glycosylation profiles in malignant meningiomas were proposed. Methods Primary culture technique, morphological analysis, and immunocytochemistry were used to establish and characterize two benign meningioma cell lines. The glycan profiles of the primary benign and malignant meningiomas cell lines were then analyzed using lectin cytochemistry. The gene expression of O-linked glycosyltransferases, mucins, sialyltransferases, and fucosyltransferases were analyzed in benign and malignant meningioma using the GEO database (GEO series GSE16581) and quantitative-PCR (qPCR). Results Lectin cytochemistry revealed that the terminal galactose (Gal) and N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) were highly expressed in primary benign meningioma cells (WHO grade I) compared to malignant meningioma cell lines (WHO grade III). The expression profile of mucin types O-glycosyltransferases in meningiomas were observed through the GEO database and gene expression experiment in meningioma cell lines. In the GEO database, C1GALT1-specific chaperone (COSMC) and mucin 1 (MUC1) were significantly increased in malignant meningiomas (Grade II and III) compared with benign meningiomas (Grade I). Meanwhile, in the cell lines, Core 2 β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-2 (C2GNT2) was highly expressed in malignant meningiomas. We then investigated the complex mucin-type O-glycans structures by determination of sialyltransferases and fucosyltransferases. We found ST3 β-galactoside α-2,3-sialyltransferase 4 (ST3GAL4) was significantly decreased in the GEO database, while ST3GAL1, ST3GAL3, α1,3 fucosyltransferases 1 and 8 (FUT1 and FUT8) were highly expressed in malignant meningioma cell lines-(HKBMM)-compared to primary benign meningioma cells-(SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14). Conclusion Our findings are the first to demonstrate the potential glycosylation changes in the O-linked glycans of malignant meningiomas compared with benign meningiomas, which may play an essential role in the progression, tumorigenesis, and malignancy of meningiomas.

Abstract
Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasm. While traditionally viewed as benign, meningiomas are associated with significant patient morbidity, and certain meningioma subgroups display more aggressive and malignant behavior with higher rates of recurrence. Historically, the risk stratification of meningioma recurrence has been primarily associated with the World Health Organization histopathological grade and surgical extent of resection. However, a growing body of literature has highlighted the value of utilizing molecular characteristics to assess meningioma aggressiveness and recurrence risk. In this review, we discuss preclinical and clinical evidence surrounding the use of molecular classification schemes for meningioma prognostication. We also highlight how molecular data may inform meningioma treatment strategies and future directions.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is made up of noncellular components that have special properties for influencing cell behavior and tissue structure. Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are nonfibrillar ECM components that serve as structural scaffolds and signaling molecules. osteoglycin (OGN), a class III SLRP, is a ubiquitous ECM component that not only helps to organize the extracellular matrix but also regulates a number of important biological processes. As a glycosylated protein in the ECM, OGN was originally considered to be involved in fiber assembly and was reported to have a connection with fibrosis. In addition to these functions, OGN is found in a variety of cancer tissues and is implicated in cellular processes linked to tumorigenesis, including cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this review, we summarize the structure and functions of OGN as well as its biological and clinical importance in the context of fibrotic illness and tumorigenesis. This review aims to improve our understanding of OGN and provide some new strategies for the treatment of fibrosis and cancer.

Abstract
Simple Summary The tumor microenvironment represents the essential basis for characterizing oncological cells and supporting their growth. Along with genomic sequencing, the study of the tumor microenvironment represents a big step forward in oncological research and in the customization of treatments. Compared to gliomas, for which research has discovered greater results, the correlation between the microenvironment and tumor phenotype, and consequent prognostic implications, are still incompletely understood for intracranial meningioma. Recently, studies about the immunogenetic landscape of meningiomas have been promoted, and it is now clear that understanding the multifactorial pathogenesis of meningioma and its correlation with other specific signs (i.e., PTBE) could lead to the development of new targeted therapies, and significantly affect meningioma patients’ prognosis. Abstract The role of immunotherapy is gaining ever-increasing interest in the neuro-oncological field, and this is also expanding to the management of intracranial meningioma. Meningiomas are still the most common primary adult tumor of the CNS, and even though surgery and/or radiotherapy still represent cornerstones of their treatment, recent findings strongly support the potential role of specific immune infiltrate cells, their features and genomics, for the application of personalized treatments and prognostic implications. According to the PRISMA guidelines, systematic research in the most updated platform was performed in order to provide a descriptive and complete overview about the characteristics, role and potential implications of immunology in meningioma tumors. Seventy articles were included and analyzed in the present paper. The meningioma microenvironment reveals complex immune tumor-immune cells interactions that may definitely influence tumor progression, as well as offering unexpected opportunities for treatment.

Abstract
Meningiomas are common primary central nervous system tumors derived from the meninges, with management most frequently entailing serial monitoring or a combination of surgery and/or radiation therapy. Although often considered benign lesions, meningiomas can not only be surgically inaccessible but also exhibit aggressive growth and recurrence. In such cases, adjuvant radiation and systemic therapy may be required for tumor control. In this review, we briefly describe the current WHO grading scale for meningioma and provide demonstrative cases of treatment-resistant meningiomas. We also summarize frequently observed molecular abnormalities and their correlation with intracranial location and recurrence rate. We then describe how genetic and epigenetic features might supplement or even replace histopathologic features for improved identification of aggressive lesions. Finally, we describe the role of surgery, radiotherapy, and ongoing systemic therapy as well as precision medicine clinical trials for the treatment of recurrent meningioma.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of a mesh of proteins, proteoglycans, growth factors, and other secretory components. It constitutes the tumor microenvironment along with the endothelial cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, adipocytes, and immune cells. The proteins of ECM can be functionally classified as adhesive proteins and matricellular proteins (MCP). In the tumor milieu, the ECM plays a major role in tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance. The current review encompasses thrombospondins, osteonectin, osteopontin, tenascin C, periostin, the CCN family, laminin, biglycan, decorin, mimecan, and galectins. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are also discussed as they are an integral part of the ECM with versatile functions in the tumor stroma. In this review, the role of these proteins in tumor initiation, growth, invasion and metastasis have been highlighted, with emphasis on their contribution to tumor therapeutic resistance. Further, their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets based on existing evidence are discussed. Owing to the recent advancements in protein targeting, the possibility of agents to modulate MCPs in cancer as therapeutic options are discussed.

Abstract
Meningiomas are the most frequent primary tumors arising in the central nervous system. They typically follow a benign course, with an excellent prognosis for grade I lesions through surgical intervention. Although radiotherapy is a good option for recurrent, progressive, or inoperable tumors, alternative treatments are very limited. mTOR is a protein complex with increasing therapeutical potential as a target in cancer. The current understanding of the mTOR pathway heavily involves it in the development of meningioma. Its activation is strongly dependent on PI3K/Akt signaling and the merlin protein. Both factors are commonly defective in meningioma cells, which indicates their likely function in tumor growth. Furthermore, regarding molecular tumorigenesis, the kinase activity of the mTORC1 complex inhibits many components of the autophagosome, such as the ULK1 or Beclin complexes. mTOR contributes to redox homeostasis, a vital component of neoplasia. Recent clinical trials have investigated novel chemotherapeutic agents for mTOR inhibition, showing promising results in resistant or recurrent meningiomas.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has a great fatality rate, meanwhile, there is still a lack of available biomarkers for prognosis. The goal of the research was to discover key and novel potential biomarkers for GC. We screened for the expression of significantly altered genes based on survival rates from two consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) of GC. Subsequently, functional enrichment analysis showed these genes involved in many cancers. And we picked 6 hub genes that could both secreted in the tumor microenvironment and expression enhanced in immune cells. Then, Kaplan Meier survival and expression detected in the tumor pathological stage were utilized to clarify the prognostic of these 6 hub genes. The results indicated that OGN, CHRDL2, C2orf40, THBS4, CHRDL1, and ANGPTL1, respectively, were significantly associated with poor OS in GC patients. And their expression increased with cancer advanced. Moreover, immune infiltration analysis displayed that those hub genes expression positively with M2 macrophage, CD8+ T Cell, most immune inhibitors, and majority immunostimulators. In summary, our results suggested that OGN, CHRDL2, C2orf40, THBS4, CHRDL1, and ANGPTL1 were all potential biomarkers for GC prognosis and might also be potential therapeutic targets for GC.

Abstract
Chrysophanol shows promising antitumor activity, but how it may work against malignant meningioma is poorly understood. In addition, osteoglycin (OGN) may help mediate the antitumor effects of chrysophanol; thus, this study investigated the potential antitumor mechanism of chrysophanol in malignant meningioma cultures. Meningioma cell line HBL-52 were incubated with varying doses of chrysophanol (0-90 μM) for different time points, and osteoglycin (OGN) was overexpressed or inhibited in some cell cultures to assess its roles. Cell viability was quantified using the CCK8 assay and colony formation assays, while effects on cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rates were examined by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to detect histone DNA levels. Caspase-3 and -9 activities were detected by related commercial kits. Protein expression was assessed using Western blotting. Chrysophanol significantly reduced HBL-52 cell viability, based on reduced colony formation, and proliferation, based on low levels of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining revealed a 30% increase in apoptotic cells at 90 μM chrysophanol (33.7% vs 3.3% in control cultures). Chrysophanol treatment greatly decreased the Bcl-2/Bax expression ratio and increased the expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and -9, and the activities of caspase-3 and -9. Chrysophanol blocked cells in G1 phase and inhibited the OGN/mTOR signaling cascade, but activated neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) cascade. OGN overexpression activated mTOR, down-regulated NF2, and partially reversed growth inhibition by chrysophanol. Chrysophanol may be useful as a treatment against malignant meningioma by inhibiting OGN/mTOR signaling and activating NF2 signaling.

Abstract
Meningioma is the most common tumor of the central nervous system, most of which is benign. Even after complete resection, a high rate of recurrence of meningioma is observed. From in-depth study of its pathogenesis, it has been found that a number of chromosomal variations and abnormal molecular signals are closely related to the occurrence and development of malignancy in meningioma, which may provide the theoretical basis and potential direction for accurate and targeted treatment. We have reviewed advances in chromosomal variations and molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of meningioma, and have highlighted the association with malignant biological behavior including cell proliferation, angiogenesis, increased invasiveness, and inhibition of apoptosis. In addition, the chemotherapy of meningioma is summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder, the pathogenic factors of which include the decreased ability of osteogenesis and enhanced osteolysis. Human-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) possess the differential capacity to osteoblasts and chondrocytes, so the application of hMSCs in bone tissue is promising to be effective. A group of RNAs which lack of 5' and 3'ends called circular RNAs (circRNAs) were discovered. In this study, we described a previously found circular RNA, circ_0076906, to bind miR-1305 and regulate its target gene, Osteoglycin (OGN), thus regulate osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and alleviate the progression of osteoporosis. Osteogenic differentiation induced in hMSCs; qRT-PCR and western blot to examine the expressions of mRNAs and proteins; Alkaline phosphatase activity and Alizarin red staining to examine bone formation; luciferase report experiments to detect the interaction between molecules; and the nuclear/cytoplasm separation of cells. 1. Circ_0076906 was induced in osteogenic differentiation; 2. Circ_0076906 silencing inhibited osteogenesis-related genes in hMSCs; 3. Circ_0076906 acted as a sponge for miR-1305; 4. MiR-1305 regulated OGN expression; 5. Circ_0076906 induced-osteogenic differentiation depended on miR-1305/ OGN pathway. Circ_0076906 relieved osteoporosis and promoted osteogenic differentiation through the miR-1305/ OGN pathway.

Abstract
Meningiomas are among the most common intracranial pathological conditions, accounting for 36% of intracranial lesions treated by neurosurgeons. Although the majority of these lesions are benign, the classical categorization of tumors by histological type or World Health Organization (WHO) grade has not fully captured the potential for meningioma progression and recurrence. Many targeted treatments have failed to generate a long-lasting effect on these tumors. Recently, several seminal studies evaluating the genomics of intracranial meningiomas have rapidly changed the understanding of the disease. The importance of NF2 (neurofibromin 2), TRAF7 (tumor necrosis factor [TNF] receptor-associated factor 7), KLF4 (Kruppel-like factor 4), AKT1, SMO (smoothened), PIK3CA (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha), and POLR2 (RNA polymerase II subunit A) demonstrates that there are at least 6 distinct mutational classes of meningiomas. In addition, 6 methylation classes of meningioma have been appreciated, enabling improved prediction of prognosis compared with traditional WHO grades. Genomic studies have shed light on the nature of recurrent meningioma, distinct intracranial locations and mutational patterns, and a potential embryonic cancer stem cell-like origin. However, despite these exciting findings, the clinical relevance of these findings remains elusive. The authors review the key findings from recent genomic studies in meningiomas, specifically focusing on how these findings relate to clinical insights for the practicing neurosurgeon.

Abstract
Tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in outcome of breast cancer (BC) patients. Overexpression of 58 genes, encoding 43 structural ECM proteins, has been identified to determine a specific cluster of BC with accelerated metastatic potential only in the undifferentiated (grade III) phenotype. The scope of this study is to characterize protein repertoire able to predict patient outcome in BC according to ECM gene expression pattern and histological grade. The differential proteomic analysis is based on 2D-differential gel electrophoresis, MALDI-MS, bioinformatics, and immunoblotting. Results suggest a relationship among ECM remodeling, signal mechanotransduction, and metabolic rewiring in BCs characterized by a specific mRNA ECM signature and identified a set of dysregulated proteins characteristic of hormone receptors expression as fibrinogen-β chain, collagen α-1(VI) chain, and α-1B-glycoprotein. Furthermore, in triple negative tumors with ECM signature, the FGG and α5β1/αvβ3 integrins increase whereas detyrosinated α-tubulin and mimecan decrease leading to unorganized integrin presentation involving focal adhesion kinase, activation of Rho GTPases associated to epithelial mesenchymal transition. In hormone receptors negative BCs characterized by a specific ECM gene cluster, the differentially regulated proteins, identified in the present study, can be potentially relevant to predict patient's outcome.

ZBTB7A, a miR-663a target gene, protects osteosarcoma from endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis by suppressing LncRNA GAS5 expression. Cancer Lett 2019; 448:105-116. [PMID: 30753838 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2019.01.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2018] [Revised: 01/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2019] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Many studies have uncovered the essential role of ZBTB7A in regulating tumourigenesis. However, its functional significance in cell responses to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) remains poorly understood. Here we report that ZBTB7A functions as an important prosurvival factor in osteosarcoma cells undergoing pharmacological ER stress-induced by tunicamycin (TM) or thapsigargin (TG). The downregulation of ZBTB7A expression by ER stress promoted cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. ZBTB7A expression levels were increased in osteosarcoma tissues and elevated ZBTB7A was associated with osteosarcoma metastasis. Further mechanistic studies revealed that miR-663a induced by ER stress directly bound to the 3'UTR of ZBTB7A and contributed to ER stress-induced ZBTB7A downregulation in osteosarcoma cells. Additionally, our data revealed that ZBTB7A bound to the promoter of LncRNA GAS5 and transcriptionally suppressed LncRNA GAS5 expression, leading to a decline in ER stress-induced cell apoptosis. Collectively, our findings reveal the prosurvival role of ZBTB7A in osteosarcoma adaptation to ER stress and suggest that the miR-663a-ZBTB7A-LncRNAGAS5 pathway is essential for the survival of human osteosarcoma cells under ER stress.

Abstract
Ovarian carcinoma is the most deadly gynaecological disease, with poor prognosis and limited predictive biomarkers. Recent evidence has indicated controversial roles of OGN in human malignancies, but the pathologic significance of OGN in ovarian carcinoma has not yet been determined. Here, we investigated the expression of OGN in ovarian carcinoma and determined its association with patient prognosis. We found that OGN expression was up-regulated in serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma compared to non-tumor tissues, but not in clear-cell ovarian carcinoma. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that OGN expression was an adverse prognostic factor for both the overall survival and the progression-free survival of ovarian carcinoma patients. Higher OGN levels were positively associated with the activation of EMT-related gene signatures. Histological analysis further confirmed that OGN positive ovarian carcinoma cells expressed vimentin and displayed morphology of mesenchymal identity. Collectively, our preliminary results indicate that elevated expression of OGN is associated with the EMT process and may serve as a potential biomarker for prognosis in ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory non-coding RNAs that have been reported to play an important role in a variety of cellular functions. Recent studies indicated that some miRNAs are involved in regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress adaptation. However, the miRNAs were still unknown in osteosarcoma. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-1281 induced by ER stress promoted cell apoptosis and decreased ER stress adaptation of osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. Further mechanistic studies revealed that p53, an important tumor suppressor, directly bound to the promoter of miR-1281, leading to its increase under ER stress. Additionally, our data suggest that USP39 was the target of miR-1281 and participated in ER stress-induced cell apoptosis. Thus, our findings suggest a new role for miR-1281 in osteosarcoma and suggest that the p53-dependent, miR-1281-mediated USP39 pathway inhibits the survival of human osteosarcoma cells under ER stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OGN could modify tissue inflammation and immune response via local and circulating innate immune cells, which was suggestive of a reciprocal relationship between OGN and T cell infiltration in cancer. Hence, we aim to measure the OGN expression patterns and immune cells response in colorectal cancer(CRC). METHODS This study enrolled three independent sets of patients from TCGA and the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(FUSCC). The effect of OGN on T cell infiltration and the mechanism were examined in vitro and in vivo. FINDINGS Tumor OGN expression levels were positively associated with CD3, CD8, and PTPRC expressions in the training and testing sets from TCGA, respectively. In validation set from FUSCC, OGN expression level also paralleled positively with CD8+ cell density in colorectal cancer tissue (p < .001). For a unit decrease in outcome quartile categories, multivariable OR in the lowest (vs highest) OGN expression was 0.17 (95% CI 0.08-0.33). Consistently, immunofluorescence validated that OGN was preferentially expressed with CD8+ cells in both normal epithelium and cancer tissue. Xenograft tumors arising from MC38 cells with OGN-over-expression displayed a significant increase in CD8+ cells recruitment. Hence, high expression of OGN was associated with a profound longer survival (P = .009). In mechanism, elevated OGN expression inhibited the activation of the transcriptional genes HIF-1α in CRC cells, then significantly impeded the expression of VEGF. As a result of this, T cell tumor infiltration was reduced. INTERPRETATION OGN expression is positively associated with CD8+ cell density in colorectal cancer tissue, suggesting a possible influence of OGN expression on tumor reactive T cells in the tumor niche.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial primary collision tumors of different histologic types are rare, and their occurrence is still unclear. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a 66-year-old female who presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging scan showed that there were 2 primary intracranial tumors occurring simultaneously at adjacent sites of the right cerebral hemisphere. Tumor pathology showed 2 distinct tumors: meningioma (World Health Organization I) and glioblastoma. This is a rare case in which 2 different intracranial primary tumors occurred at adjacent sites, but the patient had no history of head trauma, neurologic surgery, or radiation therapy. CONCLUSIONS According to previous and present reports, the most common type of intracranial primary collision tumor is composed of a benign meningioma and a glioblastoma. During the occurrence of collision tumors, 1 tumor can play a role in the formation and growth of the other.

Abstract
The neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor protein Merlin functions as a negative regulator of cell growth and actin dynamics in different cell types amongst which Schwann cells have been extensively studied. In contrast, the presence and the role of Merlin in oligodendrocytes, the myelin forming cells within the CNS, have not been elucidated. In this work, we demonstrate that Merlin immunoreactivity was broadly distributed in the white matter throughout the central nervous system. Following Merlin expression during development in the cerebellum, Merlin could be detected in the cerebellar white matter tract at early postnatal stages as shown by its co-localization with Olig2-positive cells as well as in adult brain sections where it was aligned with myelin basic protein containing fibers. This suggests that Merlin is expressed in immature and mature oligodendrocytes. Expression levels of Merlin were low in oligodendrocytes as compared to astrocytes and neurons throughout development. Expression of Merlin in oligodendroglia was further supported by its identification in either immortalized cell lines of oligodendroglial origin or in primary oligodendrocyte cultures. In these cultures, the two main splice variants of Nf2 could be detected. Merlin was localized in clusters within the nuclei and in the cytoplasm. Overexpressing Merlin in oligodendrocyte cell lines strengthened reduced impedance in XCELLigence measurements and Ki67 stainings in cultures over time. In addition, the initiation and elongation of cellular projections were reduced by Merlin overexpression. Consistently, cell migration was retarded in scratch assays done on Nf2-transfected oligodendrocyte cell lines. These data suggest that Merlin actively modulates process outgrowth and migration in oligodendrocytes.
