O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) can remove DNA alkylation adducts, thereby repairing damaged DNA and contributing to the drug resistance of gliomas to alkylating agents. In addition, glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) have been demonstrated to be involved in the recurrence and treatment resistance of gliomas. In this study, we aimed to investigate MGMT expression and regulatory mechanisms in GSCs and the association of MGMT with temozolomide (TMZ) sensitivity. GSCs were enriched from one MGMT-positive cell line (SF-767) and 7 MGMT-negative cell lines (U251, SKMG-4, SKMG-1, SF295, U87, MGR1, and MGR2) through serum-free clone culture. GSCs from the U251G, SKMG-4G, SF295G, and SKMG-1G cell lines became MGMT-positive, but those from the U87G, MGR1G, and MGR2G cell lines remained MGMT-negative. However, aJl the GSCs and their parental glJoma cell lines were positive for nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB). In addition, GSCs were more resistant to TMZ than their parental glioma cell lines (P 〈 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the 50% inhibition concentration (ICo) of TMZ between MGMT-positive and MGMT-negatJve GSCs (P 〉 0.05). When we treated the MGMT-positive GSCs with TMZ plus MG-132 (an NF-KB inhibitor), the antitumor activity was significantly enhanced compared to that of GSCs treated with TMZ alone (P 〈 0.05). Furthermore, we found that MGMT expression decreased through the down-regulation of NF-KB expression by MG-132. Our results show that MG-132 may inhibit NF-KB expression and further decrease MGMT expression, resulting in a synergistic effect on MGMT-positive GSCs. These results indicate that enhanced MGMT expression contributes to TMZ resistance in MGMT-positive GSCs. 相似文献

O6-Methylguanine-DNA-Methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair protein considered to be a chemosensitivity predictor. We evaluated the immunohistochemical MGMT expression in 28 consecutive oligodendroglial tumors (21 oligodendrogliomas, 5 mixed oligoastrocytomas, and 2 glioblastomas with prominent oligodendroglial features; 13 treated with CCNU) and compared it with that of 13 glioblastomas. Twenty-six (93%) oligodendroglial tumors were MGMT-negative, 2 (7%) were MGMT-positive. Twelve (92%) patients treated with CCNU had MGMT-negative lesions and their median survival was 73 months; 1 patient had an MGMT-positive oligodendroglioma and is alive at 28 months. Three (23%) glioblastomas were MGMT-negative and 10 (77%) MGMT-positive. The lower MGMT expression in oligodendroglial tumors compared to glioblastomas (P < 0.05), which have different chemosensitivity, suggests a possible role of MGMT in the determination of chemoresistance. Nevertheless, the heterogeneous outcome of our MGMT-negative oligodendroglial tumors treated with CCNU, indicates that MGMT expression alone is insufficient to predict the response to alkylating drugs, presumably because of the numerous mechanisms involved. 相似文献

Angiogenesis inhibitors, such as sunitinib, represent a promising strategy to improve glioblastoma (GBM) tumor response. In this study, we used the O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT)-negative GBM cell line U87MG stably transfected with MGMT (U87/MGMT) to assess whether MGMT expression affects the response to sunitinib. We showed that the addition of sunitinib to standard therapy (temozolomide [TMZ] and radiation therapy [RT]) significantly improved the response of MGMT-positive but not of MGMT-negative cells. Gene expression profiling revealed alterations in the angiogenic profile, as well as differential expression of several receptor tyrosine kinases targeted by sunitinib. MGMT-positive cells displayed higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) compared with U87/EV cells, whereas they displayed decreased levels of VEGFR-2. Depleting MGMT using O6-benzylguanine suggested that the expression of these receptors was directly related to the MGMT status. Also, we showed that MGMT expression was associated with a dramatic increase in the soluble VEGFR-1/VEGFA ratio, thereby suggesting a decrease in bioactive VEGFA and a shift towards an antiangiogenic profile. The reduced angiogenic potential of MGMT-positive cells is supported by: (i) the decreased ability of their secreted factors to induce endothelial tube formation in vitro and (ii) their low tumorigenicity in vivo compared with the MGMT-negative cells. Our study is the first to show a direct link between MGMT expression and decreased angiogenicity and tumorigenicity of GBM cells and suggests the combination of sunitinib and standard therapy as an alternative strategy for GBM patients with MGMT-positive tumors. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Anaplastic gliomas constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors with different therapeutic responses to adjuvant chemotherapy with alkylating agents. O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA repair protein, is one of the implicated factors in glioma chemoresistance.The prognostic value of MGMT remains controversial due in part to the fact that previous published studies included heterogeneous groups of patients with different tumor grades. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of MGMT in patients with anaplastic glioma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Ninety-three patients with anaplastic glioma were analyzed for MGMT protein expression by immunohistochemistry. In addition, for those patients from whom a good yield of DNA was obtained (n = 40), MGMT promoter methylation profile was analyzed by methylation-specific PCR. MGMT prognostic significance was evaluated together with other well-known prognostic factors. RESULTS: Fifty-one tumors (54.8%) showed nuclear staining of MGMT. There was a trend towards longer overall survival for those patients with negative MGMT immunostaining (hazard ratio, 1.66; P = 0.066). In a secondary analysis including those patients who actually received chemotherapy (n = 72), the absence of MGMT expression was independently associated with better survival (hazard ratio, 2.12; P = 0.027). MGMT promoter methylation was observed in 50% of the analyzed tumors. No statistical correlation between MGMT expression and MGMT promoter hypermethylation was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Unlike previous studies, we did not find a correlation between MGMT promoter methylation and survival. However, we observed a correlation between MGMT protein expression and survival in those patients who received chemotherapy thus suggesting that the absence of MGMT expression is a positive predictive marker in patients with anaplastic glioma. 相似文献

To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in patients with glioma in an academic institute in China. From October 2004 to August 2010, total 1,285 patients were diagnosed as glioma at the Glioma Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Clinical and molecular pathology features and survival rates were analyzed. The median overall survival (OS) times were 78.1, 37.6 and 14.4 months for low-grade glioma (WHO grade II), anaplastic glioma (WHO grade III) and glioblastoma (WHO grade IV), respectively. In patients with low-grade glioma, age, preoperative Karnofsky performance scale (KPS), pathological type, radiotherapy, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) expression and Ki-67 expression, were significantly associated with OS in multivariate analyses; and preoperative KPS and radiotherapy were significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS). For anaplastic gliomas, age, preoperative KPS, pathological type, extent of resection, radiotherapy, p53 expression and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression were associated with OS. For glioblastomas, age, preoperative KPS, pathology type, extent of resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were associated with OS; and age, gender, preoperative KPS, extent of resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were associated with PFS. This is the largest survey for glioma management in China to date. We found significant differences in age, presenting symptoms and the expression of p53, MGMT, PTEN, and Ki-67 among patients with different types of glioma. Age, preoperative KPS, tumor grades, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Ki-67 expression were significantly associated with clinical prognosis. 相似文献

Methylation of the MGMT promoter is supposed to be a predictive and prognostic factor in glioblastoma. Whether MGMT promoter
methylation correlates with tumor response to temozolomide in low-grade gliomas is less clear. Therefore, we analyzed MGMT
promoter methylation by a quantitative methylation-specific PCR in 22 patients with histologically verified low-grade gliomas
(WHO grade II) who were treated with temozolomide (TMZ) for tumor progression. Objective tumor response, toxicity, and LOH
of microsatellite markers on chromosomes 1p and 19q were analyzed. Histological classification revealed ten oligodendrogliomas,
seven oligoastrocytomas, and five astrocytomas. All patients were treated with TMZ 200 mg/m2 on days 1–5 in a 4 week cycle. The median progression-free survival was 32 months. Combined LOH 1p and 19q was found in 14
patients; one patient had LOH 1p alone and one patient LOH 19q alone. The LOH status could not be determined in two patients
and was normal in the remaining four. LOH 1p and/or 19q correlated with longer time to progression but not with radiological
response to TMZ. MGMT promoter methylation was detectable in 20 patients by conventional PCR and quantitative analysis revealed
the methylation status was between 12 and 100%. The volumetric response to chemotherapy analyzed by MRI and time to progression
correlated with the level of MGMT promoter methylation. Therefore, our retrospective case series suggests that quantitative
methylation-specific PCR of the MGMT promoter predicts radiological response to chemotherapy with TMZ in WHO grade II gliomas. 相似文献

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor and is among the deadliest of human cancers. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) expression is an important step in tumor progression as miRNAs can act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes and may affect cell sensitivity to chemotherapy. Whereas the oncogenic miR21 has been shown to be overexpressed in gliomas, the expression and function of the tumor-supressor miR200a in GBMs remains unknown. In this study, we show that miR21 is upregulated in grade IV (GBMs) vs. grade II–III (LGs) gliomas, confirming that miR21 expression level is correlated with tumor grade, and that it may be considered as a marker of tumor progression. Conversely, miR200a is demonstrated for the first time to be downregulated in GBMs compared with LGs, and overexpression of miR200a in GBM cells is shown to promote TMZ-sensitivity. Interestingly, miR200a but not miR21 expression level is significantly higher in TMZ-responsive vs. -unresponsive tumoral glial cells in primary culture. Furthermore, miR200a appears negatively correlated with the expression of the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT), and the inhibition of MGMT activity results in an increase of miR200a expression in GBM cells. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that miR200a is likely to act as a crucial antitumoral factor regarding glioma progression. Interplay between miR200a and MGMT should be considered as potential mechanism involved in therapeutic response. 相似文献

O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is known as a DNA repair protein, and loss of function in MGMT is related to an
increase in survival in patients with malignant gliomas treated with alkylating agents. In the present study, we determined
the status of MGMT using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded
specimens in 12 human gliosarcomas, and these results were then related to overall survival (OS) and response to alkylating
agents. The MGMT promoter was methylated in six patients. Immunostaining of MGMT was positive in 58.3% of patients. MGMT methylation
status was correlated with immunostaining results in five patients (41.7%). The median OS and progression-free survival (PFS)
of the whole population were 13.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 12.3–14.5 months] and 8.3 months (95% CI, 7.4–9.2 months),
respectively. In patients with methylated MGMT promoter, median OS was 15.0 months, compared with 11.3 months in the unmethylated
group. Median PFS of gliosarcoma patients was 10.3 months for the methylated group, whereas it was 7.3 months for the unmethylated
group. On multivariate analysis, patients with methylated MGMT promoter had better prognosis than patients with unmethylated
MGMT promoter with respect to OS and PFS (P = 0.045 and 0.034, respectively). However, there was no statistical significance between MGMT protein expression and survival.
The results show that a significant fraction of gliosarcomas have MGMT promoter methylation and protein expression, and suggest
that patient survival is associated with MGMT methylation status. 相似文献

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Using a panel of four primary human glioblastoma cell lines with heterogeneous O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protein expression, normal human astrocytes, and U87 xenografts, we investigated (a) the relationship of MGMT status with efficacy of temozolomide-based chemoradiation using a panel of in vitro and in vivo assays; (b) underlying mechanisms by which temozolomide enhances radiation effect in glioblastoma cells; and (c) strategies to overcome resistance to radiation + temozolomide. RESULTS: Temozolomide enhances radiation response most effectively in glioblastomas without detectable MGMT expression. On concurrent radiation + temozolomide administration in MGMT-negative glioblastomas, there seems to be decreased double-strand DNA (dsDNA) repair capacity and enhanced dsDNA damage compared either with radiation alone or with sequentially administered temozolomide. Our data suggest that O(6)-benzylguanine can enhance the antitumor effects of concurrent radiation + temozolomide in MGMT-positive cells by enhancing apoptosis and the degree of dsDNA damage. O(6)-Benzylguanine was most effective when administered concurrently with radiation + temozolomide and had less of an effect when administered with temozolomide in the absence of radiation or when administered sequentially with radiation. Our in vivo data using U87 xenografts confirmed our in vitro findings. CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that temozolomide enhances radiation response most effectively in MGMT-negative glioblastomas by increasing the degree of radiation-induced double-strand DNA damage. In MGMT-positive glioblastomas, depletion of MGMT by the addition of O(6)-benzylguanine significantly enhances the antitumor effect of concurrent radiation + temozolomide. These are among the first data showing mechanisms of synergy between radiation and temozolomide and the effect of MGMT. 相似文献

The prognosis of patients suffering from glioblastoma (GBM) is dismal despite multimodal therapy. Although chemotherapy with temozolomide may contain tumor growth for some months, invariable tumor recurrence suggests that cancer stem cells (CSC) maintaining these tumors persist. We have therefore investigated the effect of temozolomide on CD133(+) and CD133(-) GBM CSC lines. Although differentiated tumor cells constituting the bulk of all tumor cells were resistant to the cytotoxic effects of the substance, temozolomide induced a dose- and time-dependent decline of the stem cell subpopulation. Incubation with sublethal concentrations of temozolomide for 2 days completely depleted clonogenic tumor cells in vitro and substantially reduced tumorigenicity in vivo. In O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT)-expressing CSC lines, this effect occurred at 10-fold higher doses compared with MGMT-negative CSC lines. Thus, temozolomide concentrations that are reached in patients were only sufficient to completely eliminate CSC in vitro from MGMT-negative but not from MGMT-positive tumors. Accordingly, our data strongly suggest that optimized temozolomide-based chemotherapeutic protocols might substantially improve the elimination of GBM stem cells and consequently prolong the survival of patients. 相似文献
