| Abstract | There is an urgent need to develop novel delivery methods for brain tumors. To this end, we have developed human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to overcome the problems associated with traditional therapeutic treatments. Compared with other cellular delivery systems, MSCs may be easily acquired from patients, can be readily expanded and engineered ex vivo, can be auto-transfused without fear of rejection, and are free of ethical concerns. Therefore, MSCs are the ideal cells for therapeutic clinical applications. Defining the process of homing of MSCs to tumors-which is largely unknown-is essential to improve their application in clinical medicine. We have recently exploited glioma stem cell (GSC) xenografts (GSCXs) as a pertinent clinical model of human gliomas, because unlike GBM cell lines, GSCXs recapitulate the histology of the tumor from which they are derived. After intravascular delivery some GSCXs attract MSCs, while others do not. We hypothesized that successful homing of MSCs to GSCXs requires chemoattraction, adhesion to the endothelial wall, and extravasation. Adhesion and extravasation are driven largely by lectin-carbohydrate interactions. Measurements of MSC and GSCX glycogene expression, glycan expression on cell surface proteins, and quantitative proteomics were performed. We compared the molecular landscapes of attracting vs. non-attracting GSCXs. Key findings were the shift from high-mannose type glycosylation on MSCs following exposure to chemoattractants and expression of SIGLEC9 by attractor GSCXs versus expression of SIGLEC8 in non-attractors. Attractor GSCXs displayed down-regulated galactosyltransferase activity, whereas non-attractors were enriched in transcripts related to mannosyltransferases. In attractor GSCXs, kallikrein 4, 13, 14, and 15 were upregulated. These serine proteases are likely to contribute to the modulation of the tumoral extracellular biochemical environment. Results from this project will lead to future engineering strategies to enhance engraftment of MSCs in gliomas, a concept that is likely to have great clinical benefit. |

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.
