This study aimed to characterize longitudinal tumor changes in order to find potentially actionable targets to prevent GBM relapse. We extracted RNA and proteins from fresh frozen tumor samples from patient-matched IDHwt WHO grade 4 primary (pGBM) and recurrent (rGBM) tumors for transcriptomics and proteomics analysis. A tissue microarray containing paired tumor samples was processed for spatial transcriptomics analysis. Differentially expressed genes and proteins between pGBM and rGBM were involved in synapse development and myelination. By categorizing patients into short (STTR) and long (LTTR) time-to-lapse, we identified genes/proteins whose expression levels positively or negatively correlated with TTR. In rGBM, expressions of Fcγ receptors (FCGRs) and complement system genes were negatively correlated with TTR, whereas expression of genes involved in DNA methylation was positively correlated with TTR. Spatial transcriptomics of the tumor cells showed enrichment of oligodendrocytes in rGBM. Besides, we observed changes in the myeloid compartment such as a switch from quiescent to activated microglia and an enrichment in B and T cells in rGBM with STTR. Our results uncover a role for activated microglia/macrophages in GBM recurrence and suggest that interfering with these cells may hinder GBM relapse.</p>","PeriodicalId":16682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"45-58"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11659594/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142468201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the final model, high ABCA7 levels in the parietal cortex increased the odds of remaining cognitively healthy (ie, in stages 0/I) versus experiencing AD onset (ie, progressing to stages II-V) in the 61-80 age segment (OR = 2.87, adj 95% CI = 1.41-7.86, adj P = .007, n = 109), after controlling for APOE and other covariates. No ABCA7-AD association was found in the 81-98 age segment (n = 113). Parietal ABCA7 levels in 61-80-year-old with stages II-V were very low, even significantly lower than in 81-98-year-old with stages II-V. ABCA7 levels in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus predicted AD onset in the 61-80 age segment after adjustment for APOE. ABCA7 levels were also the lowest in 61-80-year-old with frequent neuritic plaques.

The prion-like traits of tau influence disease progression and correlate with severity. Techniques to measure tau bioactivity such as RT-QuIC and biosensor cells lack spatial specificity. Therefore, we developed a histological probe aimed at detecting and localizing bioactive tau in situ. We first induced the recruitment of a tagged probe by bioactive Tau in human brain tissue slices using biosensor cell lysates containing a fluorescent probe. We then enhanced sensitivity and flexibility by designing a recombinant probe with a myc tag. The probe design aimed to replicate the recruitment process seen in prion-like mechanisms based on the cryo-EM structure of tau aggregates in Alzheimer disease (AD). Using this novel probe, we observed selective staining of misfolded tau in pre- and post-synaptic structures within neurofibrillary tangles and neurites, whether or not associated with neuritic plaques. The probe specifically targeted AD-associated bioactive tau and did not recognize bioactive tau from other neurodegenerative diseases. Electron microscopy and immunolabeling further confirmed the identification of fibrillar and non-fibrillar tau. Finally, we established a correlation between quantifying bioactive tau using this technique and gold standard biosensor cells.
