Abstract

All cancer cells need to maintain functional telomeres to sustain continuous cell division and proliferation. In human diffuse gliomas, functional telomeres are maintained due either to reactivation of telomerase expression, the main pathway in most cancer types, or to activation of a mechanism called the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). The presence of IDH1/2 mutations (IDH-mutant) together with loss of ATRX expression (ATRX-lost) are frequently associated with ALT in diffuse gliomas. However, detection of ALT, anda fortioriits quantification, are rarely, if ever, measured in neuropathology laboratories. We measured the level of ALT activity using the previously described quantitative “C-circle” assay and analyzed it in a well characterized cohort of 104 IDH-mutant and ATRX-lost adult diffuse gliomas. We report that in IDH-mutant ATRX-lost anaplastic astrocytomas, the intensity of ALT was inversely correlated with age (p

Abstract

International audience; Despite the tremendous amount of data over the last 40years, lack of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) or altered expression of gap junction proteins is still a lesser known 'hallmark' of cancer. Expression of astrocytic gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43), is often reduced in astrocytomas, the most common neoplasia of the central nervous system (CNS) in adults. Supported by a number of evidences, the global decrease of Cx43 expression appears to be advantageous for the growth of glioma cells. Although the mechanisms by which Cx43 regulates the expression levels of proteins involved in cell growth is unclear, there are evidences to suggest that it might be independent of their channel forming properties. In this regard, the carboxyl tail of Cx43 may have the ability to control the translocation of transcription factor regulators into the nucleus. However, this putative tumor suppressor effect of Cx43 is counterbalanced by its capacity to enhance the migration of glioma cells out of the tumor core through mechanisms that seems to implicate its carboxyl tail, possibly by interacting with the actin cytoskeleton. This ambivalence between the tumor suppressor effect and promotion of cell migration may partly be explained by the heterogeneous expression of Cx43 in the glioma core especially at the malignant glioblastoma stage; some tumor cells would be expected to migrate (Cx43 expressing cells) and others to proliferate (non-expressing Cx43 cells). Moreover, the involvement of Cx43 in glioma progression seems to be more complex since, in addition, GJIC may increase their resistance to apoptosis and Cx43 may also affect cell homeostasis in a paracrine fashion via hemichannel action. In conclusion, Cx43 appears to be involved at different levels of the glioma progression by acting on cell growth regulation, promotion of cell migration and resistance to apoptosis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The Communicating junctions, composition, structure and characteristics.

Abstract

International audience; PURPOSE: Pilocytic astrocytomas (PA) and hemangioblastomas (HB) can present the same morphological characteristics on conventional MRI sequences, most usually in the form of a cerebellar cystic mass with a mural nodule that strongly enhances on post-contrast T1 images. We discuss here the value of perfusion MRI in the differentiation of these two tumors, the diagnoses of which have already been histopathologically established. METHOD: Eleven patients with PA and eight with HB underwent first-pass perfusion MRI. The maximum relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV(max)), defined as the ratio between the CBV(max) in tumor tissue and the CBV in healthy, contralateral white matter, is considered to be indicative of the type of tumor. RESULTS: The difference between the rCBV(max) of PA (rCBV(max)=1.19+/-0.71, range 0.6-3.27) compared with that of HB (rCBV(max)=9.37+/-2.37, range 5.38-13) was significant (P

Abstract

International audience; Grade II gliomas grow slowly and linearly (at rates about 4 mm/year) before undergoing anaplastic transformation. In order to analyze how surgery may affect radiological grade II glioma kinetics, we restrospectively reviewed our national database searching for patients operated on for a supratentorial grade II glioma between 1997 and 2007. We selected patients with at least two postoperative MRI with a minimal delay of 6 months. For each patient, postoperative residues were segmented on successive MRIs. Velocities of diameter expansion were estimated by linear regression of mean diameter evolution for each patient. Fifty-four patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. Median postoperative follow-up was 1.6 years with, on average, 3.4 MRI examinations per patient. Postoperative growth rates of mean diameter were normally distributed, around a mean value of 4.3 mm/year (SD = 3.2 mm/year). Statistical analysis showed no difference between this distribution and the distribution of preoperative growth rates in a previous series of 143 grade II gliomas. For a subset of 23 patients, delay between first MRI and surgery made it possible to estimate also preoperative growth rates. Intrapatient comparison revealed that growth rates were grossly unchanged for 80% of cases. In summary, inter- and intrapatient comparison of pre- and postoperative growth rates proves that surgery does not change grade II glioma dynamics, thus, acting as a cytoreduction.

Abstract

International audience; Human oligodendrogliomas are chemosensitive gliomas usually characterized by a loss of heterozygosity in the large distal regions of the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p LOH). Chemoresistant astrocytomas do not have this genetic signature, suggesting that the 1p arms may contain anti-oncogene and/or genes enabling chemoresistance. We have focused here on two human 1p-distal genes, ATAD 3A and ATAD 3B (1p36-33), and analyzed their gene products in normal human cell lines and tissues and in glioma-derived human cell lines. Using specific anti-peptide antibodies, we have found that ATAD 3A is ubiquitously expressed, whereas ATAD 3B is expressed in embryonic tissues, adult germinative zone and in astrocytoma cell lines but it is not expressed in oligodendroglioma cell lines or in the adult cortex. Furthermore, we have found that human glioma cell lines overexpressing or underexpressing ATAD 3A and ATAD 3B, show modified cell growth, anchorage-independent growth, and chemoresistance to doxorubicin and other genotoxic drugs. These results demonstrate the potential for ATAD 3B as a putative marker in discriminating astrocytomas from oligodendrogliomas. We also have shown that the loss of ATAD 3A/3B may be involved in the transformation pathway and the chemosensitivity of oligodendrogliomas.

International audience; The pathological classification of gliomas constitutes a critical step of the clinical management of patients, yet it is frequently challenging. To assess the relationship between genetic abnormalities and clinicopathological characteristics, we have performed a genetic and clinical analysis of a series of gliomas. A total of 112 gliomas were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization on a BAC array with a 1 megabase resolution. Altered regions were identified and correlation analysis enabled to retrieve significant associations and exclusions. Whole chromosomes (chrs) 1p and 19q losses with centromeric breakpoints and EGFR high level amplification were found to be mutually exclusive, permitting identification of 3 distinct, nonoverlapping groups of tumors with striking clinicopathological differences. Type A tumors with chrs 1p and 19q co-deletion exhibited an oligodendroglial phenotype and a longer patient survival. Type B tumors were characterized by EGFR amplification. They harbored a WHO high grade of malignancy and a short patient survival. Finally, type C tumors displayed none of the previous patterns but the presence of chr 7 gain, chr 9p deletion and/or chr 10 loss. It included astrocytic tumors in patients younger than in type B and whose prognosis was highly dependent upon the number of alterations. A multivariate analysis based on a Cox model shows that age, WHO grade and genomic type provide complementary prognostic informations. Finally, our results highlight the potential of a whole-genome analysis as an additional diagnostic in cases of unclear conventional genetic findings.

Abstract

International audience; The functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in codon 72 of TP53 has been shown to be both a risk factor and a prognostic biomarker in various cancers. Such results were also reported in brain tumors, notably in astrocytomas. This SNP has never been precisely investigated in oligodendroglial tumors. We retrospectively analyzed blood samples of 275 oligodendroglial tumor patients for the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and compared them with a series of 144 healthy controls. Arg/Arg, Arg/Pro, and Pro/Pro genotypes were found in 54.2 versus 60.4%, 39.3 versus 34.0%, and 7.3 versus 5.6% of patients and controls, respectively. This suggests no association between oligodendroglial tumors and the SNP in codon 72 of TP53. Similarly, no correlation was found among the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and prognosis, p53 expression, and chromosomes 1p and 19q status.

Abstract

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant glioma, which has the propensity to infiltrate throughout the brain in contrast to pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) of the posterior fossa, which does not spread and can be cured by surgery. We have used Suppression Subtractive Hybridization to define markers that better delineate the molecular basis of brain invasion and distinguish these tumor groups. We have identified 106 genes expressed in PA versus GBM and 80 genes expressed in GBM versus PA. Subsequent analysis identified a subset of 20 transcripts showing a common differential expression pattern for the two groups. GBM differs from PA by the expression of five genes involved in invasion and angiogenesis: fibronectin, osteopontin, chitinase-3-like-1 (YKL-40), keratoepithelin and fibromodulin. PA differs from GBM by the expression of genes related to metabolism (apolipoprotein D), proteolysis (protease-serine-11), receptor and signal transduction (PLEKHB1 for Pleckstrin-Homology-domain-containing-protein-family-B-member-1), transcription/translation (eukaryotic-translation-elongation-factor-1-alpha1) processes and cell adhesion (SPOCK1 for SPARC/Osteonectin-CWCV-kazal-like-domains-proteoglycan). The expression of these genes was confirmed by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. This study highlights the crucial role of brain invasion in GBM and identifies specific molecules involved in this process. In addition, it offers a restricted list of markers that accurately distinguish PA from GBM.

Abstract

National audience; OBJECT: To discuss the pertinency of perfusion MR imaging for initial diagnosis and follow up of brain tumors. METHODOLOGY: Dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging was applied. Images were thus obtained with intensities proportional to the cerebral blood volume (CBV). Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) maps were then generated by normalizing the signal intensities with respect to measurements made in healthy tissue. RESULTS: The method provided interesting data for establishing the differential diagnosis between different kinds of lesions, in particular between lymphoma and pilocytic astrocytoma, and for grading gliomas. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Limits of the approach are discussed, in particular with respect to quantification aspects and interpretation of the results. The approach could be particularly useful for grading oligodendrogliomas, for which histological diagnosis on biopsy is sometimes difficult.

Abstract

FREE FULL TEXT http://www.john-libbey-eurotext.fr/fr/revues/medecine/bdc/e-docs/00/04/0D/9E/article.md?type=text.html; Glioblastoma multiforme is the most malignant of the primary brain tumors and is almost always fatal. The treatment strategies for this disease have not changed appreciably for many years and most are based on a limited understanding of the biology of the disease. Growth factors are potential targets for therapeutic strategies because they are essential for tumor growth and progression. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a multifunctional regulatory peptide with mitogenic and angiogenic capabilities among others. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that AM mRNA was correlated to the tumor type and grade, with high expression in all glioblastomas analysed, whereas a low expression was found in anaplastic astrocytomas and barely detectable levels in low-grade astrocytomas and oligodendriogliomas. The correlation of AM expression to the grade of glioma support the hypothesis that AM may participate in the progression of gliomas. We demonstrate that AM may function as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor for glioblastoma cells. The data demonstrated that the anti-AM antibody significantly suppress the growth of established glioblastoma xenografts. The action of AM is specific and is mediated by the calcitonin receptor-like receptor/receptor activity-modifying protein-2 and -3 (CRLR/RAMP2, CRLR/RAMP3). Furthermore, the proangiogenic action of AM on cultured endothelial cells via CRLR/RAMP2 and CRLR/RAMP3 receptors may translate in vivo into enhanced neovascularization and therefore identify AM and its receptors acting as potential new targets for antiangiogenic therapies.

Abstract

International audience; Molecular diffusion and microcirculation in the capillary network result in a distribution of phases in a single voxel in the presence of magnetic field gradients. This distribution produces a spin-echo attenuation. The authors have developed a magnetic resonance (MR) method to image such intravoxel incoherent motions (IVIMs) by using appropriate gradient pulses. Images were generated at 0.5 T in a high-resolution, multisection mode. Diffusion coefficients measured on images of water and acetone phantoms were consistent with published values. Images obtained in the neurologic area from healthy subjects and patients were analyzed in terms of an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) incorporating the effect of all IVIMs. Differences were found between various normal and pathologic tissues. The ADC of in vivo water differed from the diffusion coefficient of pure water. Results were assessed in relation to water compartmentation in biologic tissues (restricted diffusion) and tissue perfusion. Nonuniform slow flow of cerebrospinal fluid appeared as a useful feature on IVIM images. Observation of these motions may significantly extend the diagnostic capabilities of MR imaging.

article clinique; International audience; Communicating hydrocephalus and/or papilloedema associated with intraspinal tumours is rare. Four such patients are presented in this article. In addition to previous theories put forward to explain this condition, we would like to propose alteration of craniospinal compliance distribution as a possible underlying mechanism. Consequently, we suggest not performing shunt placement immediately if the intraspinal tumour can be removed.
