INTRODUCTIONGlioblastoma (GBM) is a polyclonal tumor with molecular abnormalities varying temporo-spatially (intra-tumor heterogeneity), one mechanism of therapy resistance. Fluorescence guided neurosurgical resection is performed with prior administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) leading to individually fluorescent tumor cells mixed within a background population of non-neoplastic cells in the invasive region beyond “pure” tumor. We have isolated this critical invasive population by 5ALA-based fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to study invasive GBM without an overwhelming background “normal” signal.METHODWe performed high-resolution RNAseq analysis on 45 specimens from 10 GBM patients including samples from tumor core, rim, invasive zone and GBM cells from within brain parenchyma by 5-ALA based FACS. Genome-wide gene expression analysis (Affymetrix) on 14 glioma samples from three different GBM patients was also undertaken, with validation by qPCR and immunohistochemistry.RESULTSFluorescent cancer cells accounted for an average of 1% of the samples subjected to FACS. High-resolution RNAseq profiles were generated for tumor regions and fluorescently isolated invasive cells. Statistical analysis by linear models identified 325 differentially expressed genes between FACS positive cells and other tumor regions (multiple test adjusted P-value < 0.05), of these, 50 genes were upregulated in all comparisons. These transcriptomic changes orchestrate MAPK (DUSP1, DUSP2, DUSP10 and FOSB), chemokine signaling pathways (CXCL2, CXCL3, CCL20 and NFKB1) and negative regulation of cell proliferation (EREG and KLF6). In contrast, 29 downregulated genes in FACS positive cells were enriched with signal transduction (DDR2 and MTSS1L) and ECM-receptor interaction (COL4A1, COL4A2, and HSPG2).CONCLUSIONResidual GBM cells in the invasive zone are shown to exhibit activation of distinct molecular pathways and biological processes. These unique molecular features offer hope for developing more efficacious targeted therapies focusing on this population rather than the bulk tumor that has been the subject of most historical analyses.
