Abstract
Gliomas are the most prevalent primary malignant tumors affecting the brain, with high recurrence and mortality rates. Accurate diagnoses and effective treatment challenges persist, emphasizing the need for identifying new biomarkers to guide clinical decisions. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) hold potential as diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers in cancer. However, only a limited subset of lncRNAs in gliomas have been explored. Therefore, this study aims to identify lncRNA signatures applicable to patients with gliomas across all grades and explore their clinical significance and potential biological mechanisms. Data used in this study were obtained from TCGA, CGGA, and GEO datasets to identify key lncRNA signatures in gliomas through differential and survival analyses and machine learning algorithms. We examined their associations with the clinical characteristics, gene mutations, diagnosis, and prognosis of gliomas. Functional enrichment analysis was employed to elucidate the potential biological mechanisms associated with these significant lncRNA signatures. We explored competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks. We found that NDUFA6-DT emerged as a significant lncRNA signature in gliomas, with reduced NDUFA6-DT expression associated with a worse prognosis in gliomas. Nomogram analysis incorporating NDUFA6-DT expression levels exhibited excellent prognostic and predictive capabilities. Functional annotation suggested that NDUFA6-DT might influence immunological responses and synaptic transmission, potentially modifying glioma initiation and progression. The associated ceRNA network revealed the possible presence of the NDUFA6-DT-miR-455-3p-YWHAH/YWHAG axis in low-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and influencing glioma cell survival and apoptosis. We believe that NDUFA6-DT is a novel lncRNA linked to glioma diagnosis and prognosis, potentially becoming a pivotal biomarker for glioma.

Association of preoperative seizures with tumor metabolites quantified by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in gliomas. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7927.

Abstract
Seizures are common in patients with gliomas; however, the mechanisms of epileptogenesis in gliomas have not been fully understood. This study hypothesized that analyzing quantified metabolites using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) might provide novel insights to better understand the epileptogenesis in gliomas, and specific metabolites might be indicators of preoperative seizures in gliomas. We retrospectively investigated patient information (gender, age at diagnosis of tumor, their survival time) and tumor information (location, histology, genetic features, and metabolites according to MRS) in patients with gliomas. The data were correlated with the incidence of seizure and analyzed statistically. Of 146 adult supratentorial gliomas, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant tumors significantly indicated higher incidence of preoperative seizures than IDH wild-type gliomas. However, MRS study indicated that glutamate concentration in IDH wild-type gliomas was higher than that in IDH mutant gliomas. Glutamate was not associated with high frequency of preoperative seizures in patients with gliomas. Instead, increased total N-acetyl-L-aspartate (tNAA) was significantly associated with them. Moreover, multivariable analysis indicated that increased level of tNAA was an independent predictor of preoperative seizures. According to MRS analysis, tNAA, rather than glutamate, might be a useful to detect preoperative seizures in patient with supratentorial gliomas.

Abstract
Background The introduction of the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System has resulted in tumor groupings with improved prognostic value for diffuse glioma patients. Molecular subtype, primarily based on IDH-mutational status and 1p/19q-status, is a strong predictor of survival. It is unclear to what extent this finding may be mediated by differences in anatomical location and surgical resectability among molecular subgroups. Our aim was to elucidate possible correlations between (1) molecular subtype and anatomical location and (2) molecular subtype and extent of resection. Methods We performed a systematic review of literature searching for studies on molecular subtype in relation to anatomical location and extent of resection. Only original data concerning adult participants suffering from cerebral diffuse glioma were included. Studies adopting similar outcomes measures were included in our meta-analysis. Results In the systematic analysis for research questions 1 and 2, totals of 20 and 9 studies were included, respectively. Study findings demonstrated that IDH-mutant tumors were significantly more frequently located in the frontal lobe and less often in the temporal lobe compared with IDH-wildtype gliomas. Within the IDH-mutant group, 1p/19q-codeleted tumors were associated with more frequent frontal and less frequent temporal localization compared with 1p/19q-intact tumors. In IDH-mutant gliomas, greater extent of resection was achieved than in IDH-wildtype tumors. Conclusions Genetic profile of diffuse cerebral glioma influences their anatomical location and seems to affect tumor resectability.

Abstract
The genetic features of isocitrate dehydrogenase-wild-type (IDH-wt) lower-grade gliomas (LGGs; World Health Organization grades II and III) are not well defined. This study analyzed the genetic and other features of IDH-wt LGGs to develop a subclassification that can be used to predict their prognosis. Clinical, histopathological, and genetic features of 35 cases of diffuse IDH-wt astrocytoma and IDH-wt anaplastic astrocytoma were analyzed. The following genetic factors were examined: mutations of B-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma, telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERTp), histone 3 family 3A, and alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome, X-linked; and copy number aberrations. In the univariate analysis, the following factors were associated with poor overall survival (OS): the histopathological diagnosis, TERTp mutation, the gain of chromosome 7 (+ 7), and the loss of chromosome 10q (- 10q). In the multivariate analysis, + 7, - 10q, and TERTp mutation were independent prognostic factors associated with poor OS. The median OS was significantly worse for patients who harbored at least one of these factors than for those without any of them (18.5 vs. 54.5 months, P = 0.002). The subclassification of IDH-wt LGGs according to the genetic factors + 7, - 10q, and TERTp mutation is potentially useful for predicting the prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE c-Met has been shown to be associated with tumor growth in several human cancers. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between the c-Met expression and histopathologic/clinical characteristics. METHODS A total of 153 patients with histologically defined World Health Organization grade II-IV diffuse astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors were analyzed. RESULTS For each histopathologic diagnosis, the number of cases and positive rate of c-Met expression are as follows: oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant, and 1p19q codeletion (OD): 16 cases, 6.3%; anaplastic oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant, and 1p19q codeletion (AO): 11 cases, 36.4%; diffuse astrocytoma (DA), IDH-mutant: 21 cases, 28.6%; anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), IDH- mutant: 15 cases, 20%; glioblastoma, IDH-mutant: 2, 100%, DA, IDH-wildtype: 9 cases, 33.3%; AA, IDH-wildtype: 20 cases, 30.0%; and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype: 59 cases, 52.5%. c-Met expression was correlated with progression-free survival in oligodendroglial tumors and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. Furthermore, it was correlated with overall survival in AO, oligodendroglial tumors, DA, IDH-mutant, DA, IDH-wildtype, and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, and tend to be correlated with overall survival in IDH-mutant lower-grade astrocytic tumors. CONCLUSIONS c-Met expression was revealed to be a useful marker for prognosis prediction in IDH-mutant lower-grade gliomas and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, representing a new independent prognostic marker that can be easily measured.

Remote intracranial recurrence of IDH mutant gliomas is associated with TP53 mutations and an 8q gain. Oncotarget 2017; 8:84729-84742.

Abstract
Most IDH mutant gliomas harbor either 1p/19q co-deletions or TP53 mutation; 1p/19q co-deleted tumors have significantly better prognoses than tumors harboring TP53 mutations. To investigate the clinical factors that contribute to differences in tumor progression of IDH mutant gliomas, we classified recurrent tumor patterns based on MRI and correlated these patterns with their genomic characterization. Accordingly, in IDH mutant gliomas (N = 66), 1p/19 co-deleted gliomas only recurred locally, whereas TP53 mutant gliomas recurred both locally and in remote intracranial regions. In addition, diffuse tensor imaging suggested that remote intracranial recurrence in the astrocytomas, IDH-mutant with TP53 mutations may occur along major fiber bundles. Remotely recurrent tumors resulted in a higher mortality and significantly harbored an 8q gain; astrocytomas with an 8q gain resulted in significantly shorter overall survival than those without an 8q gain. OncoScan® arrays and next-generation sequencing revealed specific 8q regions (i.e., between 8q22 and 8q24) show a high copy number. In conclusion, only tumors with TP53 mutations showed patterns of remote recurrence in IDH mutant gliomas. Furthermore, an 8q gain was significantly associated with remote intracranial recurrence and can be considered a poor prognostic factor in astrocytomas, IDH-mutant.

Abstract
Recent progress in neuro-oncology has validated the significance of genetic diagnosis in gliomas. We previously investigated IDH1/2 and TP53 mutations via Sanger sequencing for adult supratentorial gliomas and reported that PCR-based sequence analysis classified gliomas into three genetic subgroups that have a strong association with patient prognosis: IDH mutant gliomas without TP53 mutations, IDH and TP53 mutant gliomas, and IDH wild-type gliomas. Furthermore, this analysis had a strong association with patient prognosis. To predict genetic subgroups prior to initial surgery, we retrospectively investigated preoperative radiological data using CT and MRI, including MR spectroscopy (MRS), and evaluated positive 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence as an intraoperative factor. We subsequently compared these factors to differentiate each genetic subgroup. Multiple factors such as age at diagnosis, tumor location, gadolinium enhancement, 5-ALA fluorescence, and several tumor metabolites according to MRS, such as myo-inositol (myo-inositol/total choline) or lipid20, were statistically significant factors for differentiating IDH mutant and wild-type, suggesting that these two subtypes have totally distinct characteristics. In contrast, only calcification, laterality, and lipid13 (lipid13/total Choline) were statistically significant parameters for differentiating TP53 wild-type and mutant in IDH mutant gliomas. In this study, we detected several pre- and intraoperative factors that enabled us to predict genetic subgroups for adult supratentorial gliomas and clarified that lipid13 quantified by MRS is the key tumor metabolite that differentiates TP53 wild-type and mutant in IDH mutant gliomas. These results suggested that each genetic subtype in gliomas selects the distinct lipid synthesis pathways in the process of tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Recent investigations revealed genetic analysis provides important information in management of gliomas, and we previously reported grade II-III gliomas could be classified into clinically relevant subgroups based on the DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs). To develop more precise genetic subgrouping, we investigated the correlation between CNAs and mutational status of the gene encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) of those tumors. We analyzed the IDH status and CNAs of 174 adult supratentorial gliomas of astrocytic or oligodendroglial origin by PCR-based direct sequencing and comparative genomic hybridization, respectively. We analyzed the relationship between genetic subclassification and clinical features. We found the most frequent aberrations in IDH mutant tumors were the combined whole arm-loss of 1p and 19q (1p/19q codeletion) followed by gain on chromosome arm 7q (+7q). The gain of whole chromosome 7 (+7) and loss of 10q (-10q) were detected in IDH wild-type tumors. Kaplan-Meier estimates for progression-free survival showed that the tumors with mutant IDH, -1p/19q, or +7q (in the absence of +7p) survived longer than tumors with wild-type IDH, +7, or -10q. As tumors with +7 (IDH wild-type) showed a more aggressive clinical nature, they are probably not a subtype that developed from the slowly progressive tumors with +7q (IDH mutant). Thus, tumors with a gain on chromosome 7 (mostly astrocytic) comprise multiple lineages, and such differences in their biological nature should be taken into consideration during their clinical management.

PCR-Based Simple Subgrouping Is Validated for Classification of Gliomas and Defines Negative Prognostic Copy Number Aberrations in IDH Mutant Gliomas. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0142750.

Abstract
Genetic subgrouping of gliomas has been emphasized recently, particularly after the finding of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations. In a previous study, we investigated whole-chromosome copy number aberrations (CNAs) of gliomas and have described genetic subgrouping based on CNAs and IDH1 mutations. Subsequently, we classified gliomas using simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods to improve the availability of genetic subgrouping. We selected IDH1/2 and TP53 as markers and analyzed 237 adult supratentorial gliomas using Sanger sequencing. Using these markers, we classified gliomas into three subgroups that were strongly associated with patient prognoses. These included IDH mutant gliomas without TP53 mutations, IDH mutant gliomas with TP53 mutations, and IDH wild-type gliomas. IDH mutant gliomas without TP53 mutations, which mostly corresponded to gliomas carrying 1p19q co-deletions, showed lower recurrence rates than the other 2 groups. In the other high-recurrence groups, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with IDH mutant gliomas with TP53 mutations were significantly longer than those of patients with IDH wild-type gliomas. Notably, most IDH mutant gliomas with TP53 mutations had at least one of the CNAs +7q, +8q, −9p, and −11p. Moreover, IDH mutant gliomas with at least one of these CNAs had a significantly worse prognosis than did other IDH mutant gliomas. PCR-based mutation analyses of IDH and TP53 were sufficient for simple genetic diagnosis of glioma that were strongly associated with prognosis of patients and enabled us to detect negative CNAs in IDH mutant gliomas.

Case of radiologically multicentric but genetically identical multiple glioblastomas. Brain Tumor Pathol 2013; 31:113-7.

Abstract
Surgery was performed in a 65-year-old male patient with malignant gliomas at two locations in the left and right cerebral hemispheres that showed no apparent continuity in imaging studies. Slight differences in histopathological appearance were seen between the tumors, and multicentric malignant glioma was diagnosed. Detailed genetic examination showed both the left- and right-side tumors to be of the IDH-1 wild type with a p53 mutation at the same locus. Whole genome analysis by comparative genomic hybridization revealed many of the same mutations to be present in both tumors. The O(6)-methylguanine-methyltransferase promoter in both cases was unmethylated, and the genetic profiles of both showed them to be homologous tumors. They were therefore inferred to be multiple gliomas from the same clone. There have been occasional reports of multicentric gliomas classified by diagnostic imaging. This report discusses the need to examine tumor origin by genomic profiling.

Subgrouping of gliomas on the basis of genetic profiles. Brain Tumor Pathol 2013; 30:203-8. [PMID: 23604523 DOI: 10.1007/s10014-013-0148-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2013] [Accepted: 04/06/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Management of gliomas depends on histological diagnosis; there are, however, limitations to the systems presently used. Tumors in the same entity can have different clinical courses, especially when they are diagnosed as WHO grade II-III. Previous studies revealed that genetic subgrouping of gliomas provides useful information that could help establishment of treatment procedures on the basis of the genetic background of the tumors. Recently, the authors analyzed the chromosomal copy number aberrations (CNAs) of adult supratentorial gliomas by comparative genomic hybridization using microdissected tissue sections. The tumors were classified into subgroups according to chromosomal CNAs. WHO grade II-III gliomas contained a variety of genetic subgroups that correlated well with the clinical course. Of these, long progression-free survival was observed for tumors with +7q and those with -1p/19q, low-grade tumors of 2 major lineages, and, in our preliminary data, both were closely correlated with mutation of IDH1. Furthermore, in contrast with +7q tumors, the great majority of +7 or +7/-10q groups had wildtype IDH1. Genetic studies suggest that cytogenetic characterization may provide an additional classification system for gliomas, and new criteria could help to establish rational and objective means for analysis of treatment procedures.

Surgical navigation-assisted endoscopic biopsy is feasible for safe and reliable diagnosis of unresectable solid brain tumors. Neurosurg Rev 2013; 36:595-600; discussion 600-1. [PMID: 23568699 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-013-0467-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2012] [Revised: 01/24/2013] [Accepted: 03/10/2013] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Stereotactic biopsy has been validated for tissue sampling of deep-seated lesions that cannot be easily resected via open craniotomy. However, some inherent problems including the inability to directly observe the lesion and difficulty in confirming hemostasis limit its usefulness. To overcome these issues, we used the endoscope in brain tumor biopsy, for not only intraventricular tumors but also intraparenchymal tumors. The rigid scope was used in association with a surgical navigation system for intraparenchymal lesions via a transcortical route. There were no useful anatomical landmarks when the trajectory to the lesions was decided; therefore, surgical navigation system was required for the transcortical procedures. The endoscopic procedure described here was attempted in 21 cases of intraparenchymal lesions between January 2007 and February 2012. A definitive diagnosis was obtained in all cases, and genetic analysis was performed when required. Serious postsurgical hemorrhage or neurological deficits were not observed in any cases. Endoscopic surgery provides a clear view of the target and makes it easier to differentiate tumor tissue from normal brain tissue. Moreover, the endoscope helped to confirm hemostasis during the procedure. Thus, endoscopic biopsy has the potential to contribute toward safe and reliable diagnosis of brain tumors.

Infratentorial low-grade oligoastrocytoma with aggressive clinical behavior in an adult: a case report with genetic characterization. Brain Tumor Pathol 2012; 30:99-103. [PMID: 22752622 DOI: 10.1007/s10014-012-0111-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2012] [Accepted: 06/11/2012] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Oligoastrocytoma preferentially arises in the cerebral hemisphere, and a cerebellar location is unusual. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with an aggressive cerebellar tumor histopathologically diagnosed as oligoastrocytoma World Health Organization (WHO) grade II. After partial removal of the tumor, she underwent concomitant temozolomide (TMZ) therapy with local irradiation followed by additional TMZ monotherapy. However, her symptoms gradually worsened, and chronological magnetic resonance imaging showed remarkable tumor enlargement. In accordance with the aggressive clinical course, unfavorable genetic characteristics such as the gain of the entire chromosome 7, loss of 9p, absence of 1p/19q codeletion, absence of methylation of the O6-methylguanine-deoxyribonucleic acid methyltransferase promoter, and absence of the isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 mutation were observed. The present case illustrates that these molecular characteristics represent the biological features of gliomas more closely than the histopathological diagnosis and may also suggest that infratentorial gliomas arise through a distinct tumorigenic pathway from their supratentorial counterparts.
