Recent studies have identified genes and core pathways that are altered in human glioblastoma. However, the mechanisms by which alterations of these glioblastoma genes singly and cooperatively transform brain cells remain poorly understood. Further, the cell-of-origin of glioblastoma is largely elusive. By targeting a p53 in-frame deletion mutation to the brain, we show that p53 deficiency provides no significant growth advantage to adult brain cells, but appears to induce pleiotropic accumulation of cooperative oncogenic alterations driving gliomagenesis. Our data show that accumulation of a detectable level of mutant p53 proteins occurs first in neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and that subsequent expansion of mutant p53-expressing Olig2+ transit-amplifying progenitor-like cells in the SVZ-associated areas initiates glioma formation. Glioblastoma is the most malignant form of astrocytic gliomas and the most common primary brain cancer in adults. The poor prognosis of glioblastoma emphasizes the urgent need for a greater understanding of disease pathogenesis. We demonstrate that p53 deficiency can cooperate with diverse mitogenic signaling pathways to induce malignant glioma. For example, inactivation of the Nf1 tumor suppressor, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, or activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase pathways are not essential, but can promote p53-mediated glioma formation. Furthermore, expression of mutant p53 proteins is identified as a marker for glioma cells in all stages. Analysis of brain cells with a detectable level of mutant p53 expression provides important insights into the role of neural stem cells and transit-amplifying progenitors in p53-mediated gliomagenesis.
