Abstract
The prognosis for the WHO grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma is better than IDH-wildtype glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential mechanism of how IDH1 mutation can increase the efficacy of radiotherapy and to establish a risk-score model to predict the efficacy of radiotherapy in WHO grade 4 gliomas. First, we conducted experimental study on the effect of IDH1R132H mutation on glioma cells in vitro. Radiosensitivity of glioma cells was detected by γ-H2AX after 5 Gy radiation. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were determined respectively by CCK-8, EDU, monolayer cell migration scratch assay and Transwell assay. Then we analyzed IDH1 gene status and the survival of WHO grade 4 glioma patients received radiotherapy in our center and verified our results by analyzing CGGA and TCGA database. For the risk-score model, we use CGGA data to find genetic differences between WHO grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma and IDH-wildtype GBM patients, and determined a 4-gene radiotherapy-related signature through survival analysis by R software. Evaluation and verification through different glioma validation sets and different statistical methods. For in vitro experiments, we established glioma cells stably overexpressing IDH1 wild-type and IDH1-mutant proteins. γ-H2AX assay showed that IDH1-mutant glioma cells had higher radiosensitivity than wild-type. CCK-8 and EDU assay showed that proliferation capacity of IDH1-mutant glioma cells declined. Transwell assay and monolayer cell migration scratch assay also showed that IDH1-mutant glioma cells reduced migration and invasion capabilities. Among the 83 WHO grade 4 glioma patients who received radiotherapy in our center, WHO grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma patients had longer OS and PFS versus IDH-wildtype GBM (P = 0.0336, P = 0.0324, respectively). TCGA and CGGA database analysis had the similar results. Through complex analysis of CGGA and TCGA databases, we established a risk-model that can predict the efficacy of radiotherapy for WHO grade 4 glioma patients. The 4-gene radiotherapy-related signature including ADD3, GRHPR, RHBDL1 and SLC9A9. Patients in the high-risk group had worse OS compared to low-risk group (P = 0.0001). High- and low-risk groups of patients receiving radiotherapy have significant survival differences, while patients who did not receive radiotherapy have no survival difference both in CGGA and TCGA databases. WHO grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma is more radiosensitive than IDH-wildtype GBM patients. Our 4-gene radiotherapy-related signature can predict the radiation efficacy of WHO grade 4 glioma patients, and it may provide some reference for clinical treatment options.

[PMID: 35819593 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-022-00383-y] [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: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcumin was found to possess numerous pharmacological activities in clinical research, however, its biological effects together with radiation are yet to be addressed. The present study investigated whether the combined treatment of dendrosomal nanoformulation of curcumin (DNC) and gamma radiation can enhance the radiosensitivity of U87MG and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. METHODS U87MG and MDA-MB-231 cell lines were exposed to 2 Gray (Gy) and 10 μM DNC determined by MTT assay, then subjected to clonogenic assay, cell cycle assay, and flow cytometric apoptosis analysis. Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) stained cells were used to study morphologic changes. The expression evaluation of putative cell cycle genes, i.e., P53, P21, CCND1, and CCNB1 was carried out by RT-qPCR. RESULTS Our findings indicated that the combined treatment with DNC and radiation might cooperatively augment the efficacy of ionizing radiation in the cancer cells and notably decrease the survival and viability of the cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In addition to a synergistic effect deducted by sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) assessment, co-treatment resulted in greater apoptotic cells than the individual treatments. Further experiments then indicated that DNC could effectively induce G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis following irradiation. Conformably, there was a decrement of CCND1 and CCNB1 expression, and an increment of P53, P21 expression. CONCLUSIONS The data implied that DNC as a radiosensitizer can enhance the lethal effect of ionizing radiation on cancer cells which could be a promising adjuvant therapy in clinical treatments.

Abstract
To date, no modern methods of treatment allow overcoming malignant potential of glial neoplasms and significant increase of survival. Analysis of glioblastoma radioresistance using cancer cell cultures is one of the perspective directions, as radiotherapy is standard and available treatment method for these neoplasms. This review summarizes current studies identifying many factors of radioresistance of glial tumors, such as hypoxia, microenvironment and metabolic features of tumor, stem cells, internal heterogeneity of tumor, microRNA, features of cell cycle, DNA damage and reparation. We obtained data on involvement of various molecular pathways in development of radioresistance such as MEK/ERK, c-MYC, PI3K/Akt, PTEN, Wnt, JAK/STAT, Notch, etc. Changes in activity of RAD51 APC, FZD1, LEF1, TCF4, WISP1, p53 and many others are determined in radioresistant cells. Further study of radioresistance pathways will allow development of specific target aptamers and inhibitors.

Abstract
Mutations in the genes encoding the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1 and IDH2, respectively; collectively referred to as IDH) are frequently detected in cancers of various origins, including but not limited to acute myeloid leukaemia (20%), cholangiocarcinoma (20%), chondrosarcoma (80%) and glioma (80%). In all cases, neomorphic activity of the mutated enzyme leads to production of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate, which has profound cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous effects. The broad effects of IDH mutations on epigenetic, differentiation and metabolic programmes, together with their high prevalence across a variety of cancer types, early presence in tumorigenesis and uniform expression in tumour cells, make mutant IDH an ideal therapeutic target. Herein, we describe the current biological understanding of IDH mutations and the roles of mutant IDH in the various associated cancers. We also present the available preclinical and clinical data on various methods of targeting IDH-mutant cancers and discuss, based on the underlying pathogenesis of different IDH-mutated cancer types, whether the treatment approaches will converge or be context dependent.

Abstract
Based on isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) alterations, lower grade glioma (LGG) is divided into IDH mutant and wild type subgroups. However, the further classification of IDH wild type LGG was unclear. Here, IDH wild type LGG patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas were divided into two sub-clusters using non-negative matrix factorization. IDH wild type LGG patients in sub-cluster2 had prolonged overall survival and low frequency of CDKN2A alterations and low immune infiltrations. Differentially expressed genes in sub-cluster1 were positively correlated with RUNX1 transcription factor. Moreover, IDH wild type LGG patients with higher stromal score or immune score were positively correlated with RUNX1 transcription factor. RUNX1 and its target gene REXO2 were up-regulated in sub-cluster1 and associated with the worse prognosis of IDH wild type LGG. RUNX1 and REXO2 were associated with the higher immune infiltrations. Furthermore, RUNX1 and REXO2 were correlated with the worse prognosis of LGG or glioma. IDH wild type LGG in sub-cluster2 was hyper-methylated. REXO2 hyper-methylation was associated with the favorable prognosis of LGG or glioma. At last, we showed that, age, tumor grade and REXO2 expression were independent prognostic factors in IDH wild type LGG.

Abstract
To meet the anabolic demands of the proliferative potential of tumor cells, malignant cells tend to rewire their metabolic pathways. Although different types of malignant cells share this phenomenon, there is a large intracellular variability how these metabolic patterns are altered. Fortunately, differences in metabolic patterns between normal tissue and malignant cells can be exploited to increase the therapeutic ratio. Modulation of cellular metabolism to improve treatment outcome is an emerging field proposing a variety of promising strategies in primary tumor and metastatic lesion treatment. These strategies, capable of either sensitizing or protecting tissues, target either tumor or normal tissue and are often focused on modulating of tissue oxygenation, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilization, glucose metabolism, mitochondrial function and the redox balance. Several compounds or therapies are still in under (pre-)clinical development, while others are already used in clinical practice. Here, we describe different strategies from bench to bedside to optimize the therapeutic ratio through modulation of the cellular metabolism. This review gives an overview of the current state on development and the mechanism of action of modulators affecting cellular metabolism with the aim to improve the radiotherapy response on tumors or to protect the normal tissue and therefore contribute to an improved therapeutic ratio.

Abstract
Gliomas are solid tumors that originate from glial cells in the brain or spine and account for 74.6% of malignant primary central nervous system tumors worldwide. As patient-derived primary cells are important tools for drug screening and new therapy development in glioma, we aim to understand the genomic similarity of the primary cells to their parental tumors by comparing their whole-genome copy number variations and expression profile of glioma clinicopathologic factors. We found that the primary cells from grade II/III gliomas lost most of the gene copy number alterations (CNAs), which were mainly located on chromosome 1p and 19q in their parental tumors. The glioblastoma (GBM) primary cells preserved 83.7% of the gene CNAs in the parental GBM tumors, including chromosome 7 gain and 10q loss. The CNA gains of LINC00226 and ADAM6 and the chromosome 16p11 loss were reconstituted in primary cells from both grade II/III gliomas and GBMs. Interestingly, we found these CNAs were correlated to overall survival (OS) in glioma patients using the Merged Cohort LGG and GBM dataset from cBioPortal. The gene CNAs preserved in glioma primary cells often predicted poor survival, whereas the gene CNAs lost in grade II/III primary cells were mainly associated to better prognosis in glioma patients. Glioma prognostic factors that predict better survival, such as IDH mutations and 1p/19q codeletion in grade II/III gliomas, were lost in their primary cells, whereas methylated MGMT promoters as well as TERT promoter mutations were preserved in GBM primary cells while lost in grade II/III primary cells. Our results suggest that GBM primary cells tend to preserve CNAs in their parental tumors, and these CNAs are correlated to poor OS and predict worse prognosis in glioma patients.

Abstract
Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDH1/2) are central molecular markers for glioblastoma. Providing in vitro or in vivo models with mutated IDH1/2 can help prepare facilities to understand the biology of these mutated genes as glioma markers, as well as help, improve therapeutic strategies. In this review, we first summarize the biology principles of IDH and its mutations and outline the core primary findings in the clinical context of neuro-oncology. Given the extensive research interest and exciting developments in current stem cell biology and genome editing, the central part of the manuscript is dedicated to introducing various routes of disease modeling strategies of IDH mutation (IDHMut) glioma and comparing the scientific-technological findings from the field using different engineering methods. Lastly, by giving our perspective on the benefits and limitations of patient-derived and donor-derived disease modeling respectively, we aim to propose leading research questions to be answered in the context of IDH1 and glioma.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation is a common and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). Unfortunately, some GBMs are relatively radioresistant and patients have worse outcomes after radiation treatment. The mechanisms underlying intrinsic radioresistance in GBM has been rigorously investigated over the past several years, but the complex interaction of the cellular molecules and signaling pathways involved in radioresistance remains incompletely defined. A clinically effective radiosensitizer that overcomes radioresistance has yet to be identified. In this review, we discuss the current status of radiation treatment in GBM, including advances in imaging techniques that have facilitated more accurate diagnosis, and the identified mechanisms of GBM radioresistance. In addition, we provide a summary of the candidate GBM radiosensitizers being investigated, including an update of subjects enrolled in clinical trials. Overall, this review highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms of GBM radioresistance to facilitate the development of effective radiosensitizers.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common type of intracranial malignant tumor, with a great recurrence rate due to its infiltrative growth, treatment resistance, intra- and intertumoral genetic heterogeneity. Recently, accumulating studies have illustrated that activated aerobic glycolysis participated in various cellular and clinical activities of glioma, thus influencing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the glycolytic process is too complicated and ambiguous to serve as a novel therapy for glioma. In this review, we generalized the implication of key enzymes, glucose transporters (GLUTs), signalings and transcription factors in the glycolytic process of glioma.
