| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Glioma-associated mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) alter its catalytic properties, leading to the production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG). This promotes hypermethylation and inhibits differentiation, but its full range of effects remains unclear. In pediatric acute myeloid leukemias, the presence of mutant IDH1 is associated with upregulation of Prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4), which promotes cancer-selective apoptosis. Because of this, and because very little work has been done studying Par-4 in gliomas, we tested the effect of mutant IDH1 on Par-4 in these tumors. METHODS: Par-4 expression was measured via western immunoblots in cell cultures and immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tumor tissue microarrays. Par-4 mRNA levels and stability were measured using RT-PCR, cycloheximide, and actinomycin D assays.Par-4 promoter activity was studied with a luciferase reporter assay. Glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines and patient-derived stem cells were infected via lentivirus with either the Selective for Apoptosis induction in Cancer cells (SAC) domain of Par-4 or with control plasmid, for in vitro studies as well as prior to intracerebral injection in nude mice. External validation datasets included The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the REpository for Molecular BRAin Neoplasia DaTa (REMBRANDT). RESULTS: In vitro treatment with exogenous unmodified D-2-HG or expression of R132H IDH1 downregulates Par-4 in GBM cells. This occurs by inhibition of Par-4 promoter activity as well as by acceleration of Par-4 mRNA degradation, but not direct promoter hypermethylation. In patients, Par-4 expression is markedly lower in IDH1-mutant high grade gliomas, both in our cohort (P = 0.003) as well as in GBMs from TCGA (P = 0.008). Expression of the SAC domain of Par-4 induces apoptosis in GBM cells. When GBM stem cell intracranial xenografts express SAC, mice have longer median survival compared to controls (30 vs 23 days, P = 0.016). Among high-grade gliomas that are IDH1 wild-type, those that express Par-4 have significantly longer median survival (18.4 versus 8.0 months, P = 0.002), a finding confirmed in external GBM cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that a.) Mutant IDH1 and D-2-HG can affect protein expression independent of direct gene hypermethylation, b.) Suppression of Par-4 may contribute to IDH1-mutant tumorigenesis; c.) While this might seem to be a paradoxical effect of mutant IDH1 given its association with better prognosis, not all its activities will be “favorable” or the mutation would not be so prevalent in gliomas; d.) Regardless of IDH1 status, Par-4 may be an effective sensitizer of gliomas to apoptosis. SECONDARY CATEGORY: Tumor Biology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
