“…Strikingly, this was found critical for the recruitment of Rad51 to the DSBs to promote DNA repair. Important, inhibition of FGFR phosphorylation abrogated PTEN phosphorylation and its consequent chromatin interaction with Ki-67 in response to IR-induced DNA damage, thereby enhancing GBM radiosensitivity through attenuated DNA repair [45]. This is also in consistency with our data illustrating that FGFR2 knockout effectively sensitized GIST to the low doses of DNA-topoisomerase II inhibitors and promoted apoptotic cells death ( Figure 5).…”

Deregulation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-signaling is frequently observed in many human malignancies, making activated RTKs the promising therapeutic targets. In particular, activated RTK-signaling has a strong impact on tumor resistance to various DNA damaging agents, e.g., ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs. We showed recently that fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-signaling might be hyperactivated in imatinib (IM)-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and inhibition of this pathway sensitized tumor cells to the low doses of chemotherapeutic agents, such as topoisomerase II inhibitors. Here, we report that inhibition of FGFR-signaling in GISTs attenuates the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which was evidenced by the delay in γ-H2AX decline after doxorubicin (Dox)-induced DNA damage. A single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) data showed an increase of tail moment in Dox-treated GIST cells cultured in presence of BGJ398, a selective FGFR1-4 inhibitor, thereby revealing the attenuated DNA repair. By utilizing GFP-based reporter constructs to assess the efficiency of DSBs repair via homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), we found for the first time that FGFR inhibition in GISTs attenuated the homology-mediated DNA repair. Of note, FGFR inhibition/depletion did not reduce the number of BrdU and phospho-RPA foci in Dox-treated cells, suggesting that inhibition of FGFR-signaling has no impact on the processing of DSBs. In contrast, the number of Dox-induced Rad51 foci were decreased when FGFR2-mediated signaling was interrupted/inhibited by siRNA FGFR2 or BGJ398. Moreover, Rad51 and -H2AX foci were mislocalized in FGFR-inhibited GIST and the amount of Rad51 was substantially decreased in -H2AX-immunoprecipitated complexes, thereby illustrating the defect of Rad51 recombinase loading to the Dox-induced DSBs. Finally, as a result of the impaired homology-mediated DNA repair, the increased numbers of hypodiploid (i.e., apoptotic) cells were observed in FGFR2-inhibited GISTs after Dox treatment. Collectively, our data illustrates for the first time that inhibition of FGF-signaling in IM-resistant GIST interferes with the efficiency of DDR signaling and attenuates the homology-mediated DNA repair, thus providing the molecular mechanism of GIST’s sensitization to DNA damaging agents, e.g., DNA-topoisomerase II inhibitors.

“…Another hypothesis to the observed result in our study may be the absence of an inverse correlation between PTEN expression and AKT activity, as demonstrated in melanoma and breast cancer [47, 48]. Moreover, this dual effect of PTEN deletion in prognosis could be related with the specific tyrosine which is the target of PTEN phosphorylation [49]. This hypothesis would explain why PTEN deletion predicts a good outcome in GBM IDH -wildtype.…”

Background Significant advances in the molecular profiling of gliomas, led the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification to include, for the first-time, molecular biomarkers in glioma diagnosis: IDH mutations and 1p/19q codeletion. Here, we evaluated the effect of this new classification in the stratification of gliomas previously diagnosed according to 2007 WHO classification. Then, we also analyzed the impact of TERT promoter mutations, PTEN deletion, EGFR amplification and MGMT promoter methylation in diagnosis, prognosis and response to therapy in glioma molecular subgroup. Methods A cohort of 444 adult gliomas was analyzed and reclassified according to the 2016 WHO. Mutational analysis of IDH1 and TERT promoter mutations was performed by Sanger sequencing. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Statistics 21.0. Results The reclassification of this cohort using 2016 WHO criteria led to a decrease of the number of oligodendrogliomas (from 82 to 49) and an increase of astrocytomas (from 49 to 98), while glioblastomas (GBM) remained the same (n = 256). GBM was the most common diagnosis (57.7%), of which 55.2% were IDH-wildtype. 1p/19q codeleted gliomas were the subgroup associated with longer median overall survival (198 months), while GBM IDH-wildtype had the worst outcome (10 months). Interestingly, PTEN deletion had poor prognostic value in astrocytomas IDH-wildtype (p = 0.015), while in GBM IDH-wildtype was associated with better overall survival (p = 0.042) as well as MGMT promoter methylation (p = 0.009). EGFR amplification and TERT mutations had no impact in prognosis. Notably, EGFR amplification predicted a better response to radiotherapy (p = 0.011) and MGMT methylation to chemo-radiotherapy (p = 0.003). Conclusion In this study we observed that the 2016 WHO classification improved the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis of diffuse gliomas, although the available biomarkers are not enough. Therefore, we suggest MGMT promoter methylation should be added to glioma classification. Moreover, we found two genetic/clinical correlations that must be evaluated to understand their impact in the clinical setting: i) how is PTEN deletion a favorable prognostic factor in GBM IDH wildtype and an unfavorable prognostic factor in astrocytoma IDH wildtype and ii) how EGFR amplification is an independent and strong factor of response to radiotherapy.

“…3,4 Several factors are believed to be crucial for the poor outcomes associated with glioma patients, including an invasive tumor microenvironment, acquired multidrug resistance, and sustained tumor growth induced by pro-survival signaling pathways. 5 Consequently, innovative approaches are urgently needed to suppress glioma growth and invasion for improved glioma treatment.…”

The aim of this study was to explore the potential role of B7-H3 in malignant glioma progression and identify an innovative approach in clinical glioma therapy. Methods: The protein expression of B7-H3 in high-and low-grade tumor tissues from glioma patients was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The proliferative and invasive ability of B7-H3-overexpressing or knockout glioma cells was analyzed in vitro and in vivo by CCK-8 assay and an orthotopic mouse glioma model, respectively. Activation of the JAK2/STAT3/Slug signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was examined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The anticancer effects of napabucasin (NAP) and temozolomide (TMZ) were analyzed in an orthotopic mouse glioma model. Results: The expression of B7-H3 was higher in high-grade than in low-grade tumor tissues from glioma patients. In line with this, overexpression of B7-H3 enhanced glioma cell proliferation, induced sustained glioma growth, and promoted glioma cell invasion in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, these effects were mediated through the activation of the JAK2/ STAT3/Slug signaling pathway in B7-H3 overexpression glioma cells. We also found that B7-H3 induced EMT processes through downregulation of E-cadherin and upregulation of MMP-2/-9 expression, resulting in enhanced invasion of glioma cells. Finally, we show that the combination of NAP and TMZ significantly suppressed glioma growth and glioma cell invasion, both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: B7-H3 overexpression facilitated sustained glioma growth and promoted glioma cell invasion through a JAK2/STAT3/Slug-dependent signaling pathway. Application of the STAT3 inhibitor NAP significantly suppressed glioma growth and invasion, and has potential as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of glioma.
