DNA Methylation in Recurrent Glioblastomas: Increased TEM8 Expression Activates the Src/PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β/B-Catenin Pathway.
Background/aim: Glioblastomas (GBM) are infiltrative malignant brain tumors which mostly recur within a year's time following surgical resection and chemo-radiation therapy. Studies on glioblastoma cells following radio-chemotherapy, have been demonstrated to induce trans-differentiation, cellular plasticity, activation of DNA damage response and stemness. As glioblastomas are heterogenous tumors that develop treatment resistance and plasticity, we investigated if there exist genome-wide DNA methylation changes in recurrent tumors.
Materials and methods: Utilizing genome-wide DNA methylation arrays, we compared the DNA methylation profile of 11 primary (first occurrence) tumors with 13 recurrent (relapsed) GBM, to delineate the contribution of epigenetic changes associated with therapy exposure, therapy resistance, and relapse of disease.
Results: Our data revealed 1,224 hypermethylated- and 526 hypomethylated-probes in recurrent glioblastomas compared to primary disease. We found differential methylation of solute carrier and ion channel genes, interleukin receptor/ligand genes, tumor-suppressor genes and genes associated with metastasis. We functionally characterized one such hypomethylated-up-regulated gene, namely anthrax toxin receptor 1/tumor endothelial marker 8 (ANTXR1/TEM8), whose expression was validated to be significantly up-regulated in recurrent glioblastomas compared to primary tumors and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Using overexpression and knockdown approaches, we showed that TEM8 induces proliferation, invasion, migration, and chemo-radioresistance in glioblastoma cells. Additionally, we demonstrated a novel mechanism of β-catenin stabilization and activation of the β-catenin transcriptional program due to TEM8 overexpression via a Src/PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.
Conclusion: We report genome-wide DNA methylation changes in recurrent GBM and suggest involvement of the TEM8 gene in GBM recurrence and progression.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics (CGP) is an international peer-reviewed journal designed to publish rapidly high quality articles and reviews on the application of genomic and proteomic technology to basic, experimental and clinical cancer research. In this site you may find information concerning the editorial board, editorial policy, issue contents, subscriptions, submission of manuscripts and advertising. The first issue of CGP circulated in January 2004.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics is a journal of the International Institute of Anticancer Research. From January 2013 CGP is converted to an online-only open access journal.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics supports (a) the aims and the research projects of the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH and (b) the organization of the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH.
