Abstract
Introduction Elderly glioblastoma (GBM) patients is characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis. Currently, however, there is still a lack of adequate molecular characterization of elderly GBM patients. The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors (WHO5) gives a new classification approach for GBM, and the molecular characteristics of elderly GBM patients need to be investigated under this new framework. Methods The clinical and radiological features of patients with different classifications and different ages were compared. Potential prognostic molecular markers in elderly GBM patients under the WHO5 classification were found using Univariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results A total of 226 patients were included in the study. The prognostic differences between younger and elderly GBM patients were more pronounced under the WHO5 classification. Neurological impairment was more common in elderly patients (p = 0.001), while intracranial hypertension (p = 0.034) and epilepsy (p = 0.038) were more common in younger patients. Elderly patients were more likely to have higher Ki-67(p = 0.013), and in elderly WHO5 GBM patients, KMT5B (p = 0.082), KRAS (p = 0.1) and PPM1D (p = 0.055) were each associated with overall survival (OS). Among them, KRAS and PPM1D were found to be prognostic features unique to WHO5 elderly GBM patients. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that WHO5 classification can better distinguish the prognosis of elderly and younger GBM. Furthermore, KRAS and PPM1D may be potential prognostic predictors in WHO5 elderly GBM patients. The specific mechanism of these two genes in elderly GBM remains to be further studied.

Brain Sci 2023; 13:851. [PMID: 37371331 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13060851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glioma is the most prevalent and fatal intracranial malignant tumor. Extracellular matrix protein 2 (ECM2) has rarely been studied in gliomas. Therefore, we explored the role of ECM2 in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). METHODS The RNA-seq and clinicopathology data were obtained from the TCGA database. The immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was used to verify the expression of ECM2. Functional enrichment analyses, immune-related analyses, drug sensitivity, and mutation profile analyses were further conducted. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier curves were utilized for survival analyses, while four external datasets were used to validate the prognostic role of ECM2. Furthermore, qRT-PCR, CCK-8, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to confirm the function of ECM2 in gliomas. RESULTS The study found a significant upregulation of ECM2 expression with increasing glioma grades and a significant association between ECM2 expression and tumor immune infiltration. Cox regression verified the prognostic role of ECM2 in LGG patients (HR = 1.656, 95%CI = 1.055-2.600, p = 0.028). High ECM2 expression was significantly associated with poor outcome (p < 0.001). Four external datasets validated its prognostic value. After the knockdown of ECM2, the functional experiments showed a significant decrease in proliferation, migration, and invasion in glioma cell lines. CONCLUSION The study suggested the potential of ECM2 as a novel immune-associated prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for glioma patients.

[PMID: 32006900 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.109956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 01/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A greater understanding of factors causing cancer initiation, progression and evolution is of paramount importance. Among them, the serine/threonine phosphatase PPM1D, also referred to as wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1) or protein phosphatase 2C delta (PP2Cδ), is emerging as an important oncoprotein due to its negative regulation on a number of crucial cancer suppressor pathways. Initially identified as a p53-regulated gene, PPM1D has been afterwards found amplified and more recently mutated in many human cancers such as breast cancer. The latest progress in this field further reveals that selective inhibition of PPM1D to delay tumor onset or reduce tumor burden represents a promising anti-cancer strategy. Here, we review the advances in the studies of the PPM1D activity and its relevance to various cancers, and recent progress in development of PPM1D inhibitors and discuss their potential application in cancer therapy. Consecutive research on PPM1D and its relationship with cancer is essential, as it ultimately contributes to the etiology and treatment of cancer.

J Clin Lab Anal 2020; 34:e23171. [PMID: 31901183 PMCID: PMC7246369 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2019] [Revised: 11/01/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to investigate the correlation of protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1D (PPM1D) with the risk stratification, treatment response, and survival profile in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Methods Totally 221 de novo AML patients and 50 healthy donors were enrolled. The bone marrow samples were collected before treatment from AML patients and acquired after enrollment from healthy donors. And bone marrow mononuclear cells were separated for detecting the mRNA/protein expressions of PPM1D by reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Complete remission (CR) was assessed after induction treatment, and event‐free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated in AML patients. Results PPM1D mRNA (P < .001)/protein (P < .001) relative expressions were increased in AML patients compared with healthy donors, and receiver operating characteristic curve presented that PPM1D mRNA (AUC: 0.728, 95% CI: 0.651‐0.806)/protein (AUC: 0.782, 95% CI: 0.707‐0.857) relative expressions could differentiate AML patients from healthy donors. In AML patients, PPM1D mRNA (P < .001)/protein (P < .001) high relative expressions were correlated with poor‐risk stratification. As for its association with prognosis, PPM1D mRNA (P < .001)/protein (P = .010) relative expressions were elevated in CR patients compared with non‐CR patients. Patients with PPM1D mRNA (P < .001 for EFS; P = .004 for OS)/protein (P < .001 for EFS; P = .006 for OS) high relative expressions exhibited reduced EFS and OS compared with those with low expressions. Conclusion PPM1D high expression correlates with poor‐risk stratification and might serve as a potential biomarker for worse prognosis in AML patients, suggesting its potential to guide AML management.

Lentiviral Vectors as Tools for the Study and Treatment of Glioblastoma. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11030417.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) has the worst prognosis among brain tumors, hence basic biology, preclinical, and clinical studies are necessary to design effective strategies to defeat this disease. Gene transfer vectors derived from the most-studied lentivirus-the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1-have wide application in dissecting GBM specific features to identify potential therapeutic targets. Last-generation lentiviruses (LV), highly improved in safety profile and gene transfer capacity, are also largely employed as delivery systems of therapeutic molecules to be employed in gene therapy (GT) approaches. LV were initially used in GT protocols aimed at the expression of suicide factors to induce GBM cell death. Subsequently, LV were adopted to either express small noncoding RNAs to affect different aspects of GBM biology or to overcome the resistance to both chemo- and radiotherapy that easily develop in this tumor after initial therapy. Newer frontiers include adoption of LV for engineering T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors recognizing specific GBM antigens, or for transducing specific cell types that, due to their biological properties, can function as carriers of therapeutic molecules to the cancer mass. Finally, LV allow the setting up of improved animal models crucial for the validation of GBM specific therapies.

Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) is a drug that has been demonstrated to improve the survival time of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) when administered with concomitant radiotherapy. However, chemoresistance is one of the major obstacles in the treatment of GBM. In the present study, an MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to demonstrate that chlorotoxin-like toxin in the venom of the scorpion Buthus martensii Kirsch (BmK CT) markedly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in U251 cells when combined with TMZ. In combination with TMZ, BmK CT exhibited a significant and synergistic anti-tumor effect by inhibiting protein kinase B (AKT) independently and triggering the apoptosis signaling cascade in vitro. Furthermore, BmK CT increased the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog at the transcriptional level, which is a key negative regulator of the AKT signaling pathway. The results of the present study demonstrated that BmK CT enhanced the sensitivity of TMZ-induced U251 cell apoptosis through the downregulation of phosphorylated AKT levels, suggesting that BmK CT and TMZ combination therapy may be a novel approach for glioma therapy.

Abstract
7-O-succinyl macrolactin A has shown anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis, and anti-metastatic effects. It also exhibits strong suppression of tumor growth. In our previous study, we assessed the anti-neoplastic effects of 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A tromethamine salt (SMA salt) on a glioma cell line. Moreover, according to our data, SMA salt might be contributed to the inhibitory effects on migration and invasion, as well as a cytotoxic effect on the glioblastoma cell lines. In the present study, we investigated the anti-tumor effects of combination therapy with SMA salt and temozolomide (TMZ) in glioblastoma cell lines. The combination therapy affected cell viability significantly, decreasing in glioblastoma cell lines. In cell migration assays, combination therapy showed more inhibitory effects than TMZ in these cell lines. The tumor volume was significantly decreased in the combination group compared with both TMZ and control groups by using the orthotopic mouse model. The effects of combination therapy with SMA salt and TMZ attributed to the inhibition of migration, invasion activities and anti-tumor effects. SMA salt could be one of the promising candidates for combination therapy in clinical settings.
