胶质母细胞瘤(GBM,或星形细胞瘤IV级)脑肿瘤仍然是人类肿瘤中最致命的形式之一。
癌症和当前肿瘤学中未满足的主要需求。 GBM是一种高度异质性和多因素
以广泛的突变和信号改变为特征的疾病。 因此,
开发实验性疗法可能只能帮助一小部分患者。我们已经发现了微小RNA
10b(miR-miR-10b),一种调节分子,其转录激活作为一种独特的机制出现
几乎所有的胶质瘤,包括高级别和低级别的胶质瘤,都有这一点,尽管它们具有异质性。miR-10b

miR-10b在几乎所有恶性胶质瘤中高度表达,其抑制作用影响所有胶质瘤亚型,

英文摘要
Summary
Glioblastoma (GBM, or astrocytoma grade IV) brain tumor remains one of the most lethal forms of human
cancer and a major unmet need in current oncology. GBM is a highly heterogeneous and multifactorial
disease characterized by the wide landscape of mutations and signaling alterations. Thus, most of the
developing experimental therapies will likely only help a fraction of patients. We have discovered microRNA-
10b (miR-10b), a regulatory molecule whose transcriptional activation emerges as a unique mechanism
shared by almost all gliomas, including both high-grade and low-grade, despite their heterogeneity. miR-10b
regulates neoplastic transformation of normal glial cells and the growth of malignant gliomas. Moreover, it
appears essential for the viability of heterogeneous glioma cells and glioma-initiating stem cells (GSC). Since
miR-10b is highly expressed in practically all malignant gliomas, and its inhibition affects all glioma subtypes,
miR-10b targeting represents a common therapeutic strategy for GBM. Despite the high levels and the critical
role of miR-10b in GBM, how the expression of this molecule, which is silenced in the normal brain, gets
activated in gliomagenesis is unknown. Based on our preliminary data, we hypothesize that various
aberrations accumulating in the brain may converge on epigenetic alterations and reorganization of the three-
dimensional structure of the miR-10b locus, resulting in its transcriptional activation. Such structural changes,
primarily mediated by the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and regulatory long non-coding RNA transcripts, will
result in the exposure of miR-10b promoter to a corresponding enhancer, and thus miR-10b expression. In
this R01 project, we will test our hypothesis, investigate the epigenetic mechanism underlying the activation
of miR-10b locus in glioma, and establish the miR-10b-locus centered model of gliomagenesis. Specific Aim
1 will, therefore, provide the high-resolution analysis of the epigenetic landscape and three-dimensional
chromatin conformation of miR-10b locus in normal neuroglial and glioma cells and tissues, and at the
different stages of neoplastic transformation. It will also assess how generalizable such regulation is in glioma
on a genomic scale. Specific Aim 2 will investigate functions of major regulatory DNA and RNA elements in
the locus, including the promoter-associated and enhancer-associated RNAs, using a combination of
biochemical, gene editing, and imaging-based approaches. Specific Aim 3 will model the process of the locus
activation and neoplastic transformation of astrocytes and neuroprogenitors using cell and animal models of
glioma. Discovery of the mechanism(s) converging on miR-10b expression in the brain cortex will shed light
on the origin and etiology of malignant glioma. It may also suggest new strategies for switching it off and new
molecular targets for therapeutic applications.
