  • Distinct metabolic hallmarks of WHO classified adult glioma subtypes
  • 2022

    • BACKGROUND: Gliomas are complex tumors with several genetic aberrations and diverse metabolic programs contributing to their aggressive phenotypes and poor prognoses. This study defines key metabolic features that can be used to differentiate between glioma subtypes, with potential for improved diagnostics and subtype targeted therapy.METHODS: Cross-platform global metabolomic profiling coupled with clinical, genetic, and pathological analysis of glioma tissue from 224 tumors - oligodendroglioma (n=31), astrocytoma (n=31) and glioblastoma (n=162) - were performed. Identified metabolic phenotypes were evaluated in accordance with the WHO classification, IDH-mutation, 1p/19q-codeletion, WHO-grading 2-4, and MGMT promoter methylation.RESULTS: Distinct metabolic phenotypes separate all six analyzed glioma subtypes. IDH-mutated subtypes, expressing 2-hydroxyglutaric acid, were clearly distinguished from IDH-wildtype subtypes. Considerable metabolic heterogeneity outside of the mutated IDH pathway were also evident, with key metabolites being high expression of glycerophosphates, inositols, monosaccharides and sugar alcohols and low levels of sphingosine and lysoglycerophospholipids in IDH-mutants. Among the IDH-mutated subtypes, we observed high levels of amino acids, especially glycine and 2-aminoadipic acid, in grade 4 glioma, and N-acetyl aspartic acid in low-grade astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma. Both IDH-wildtype and mutated oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma were characterized by high levels of acylcarnitines, likely driven by rapid cell growth and hypoxic features. We found elevated levels of 5-HIAA in gliosarcoma and a subtype of oligodendroglioma not yet defined as a specific entity, indicating a previously not described role for the serotonin pathway linked to glioma with bimorphic tissue.CONCLUSION: Key metabolic differences exist across adult glioma subtypes.

  • Improved treatment of glioblastoma : changes in survival over two decades at a single regional Centre
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Acta Oncologica. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 0284-186X .- 1651-226X. ; 58:3, s. 334-341
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with a short overall survival (OS) in general. The treatment of GBM has evolved over the last decades and is today multimodal including surgical resection followed by radiochemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients in good performance status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of treatment and the outcome for GBM patients at a single regional center.Patients and methods: Survival was studied for 571 patients in our region diagnosed with GBM between 1995 and 2015. Samples from 244 patients out of those treated 2005-2015 have been included in a tissue/blood bank and a clinical database has been set up with basic patient characteristics and details on surgery and non-surgical treatment.Results: The median OS for all patients from 1995 to 2015 was 9.3 months. There was a stepwise improvement from 6.9 to 10.3 months for patients diagnosed 1995-1996 and 2010-2015, respectively (p<.05). The 2-year survival for the same time periods improved from 7% to 18% (p<.01). After introduction of postoperative radiochemotherapy for patients in good performance status in 2005 an increased OS was noted and following implementation of intraoperative 5-aminolevulinic acid the number of tumor resection 95% did increase from 33% to 54% (p<.001). Positive prognostic factors for survival were young age, good performance status, absence of inflammatory disease, absence of diabetes or metabolic disease, tumor resection 95%, and completion of postoperative radiochemotherapy.Discussion: The results of this study are consistent with earlier results regarding survival and prognostic factors and confirm results from randomized controlled trials in a clinical setting. Despite the improvements made, the prognosis is still dismal and the need for further research on GBM treatment is great.

  • Effects of the VEGFR inhibitor ZD6474 in combination with radiotherapy and temozolomide in an orthotopic glioma model.
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Journal of Neuro-Oncology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0167-594X .- 1573-7373. ; 88:1, s. 1-9
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AIM OF THE STUDY:The extensive neovascularisation of malignant glioma is mainly influenced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The effect of ZD6474, a potent inhibitor of VEGF-receptor-2, was evaluated in combination with either radiotherapy or temozolomide.METHODS:The effects on glioma growth were investigated in the intracerebral BT4C rat glioma model. ZD6474 30 mg/kg was given alone or in combination with radiotherapy 12 Gy x 1 or with temozolomide 100 mg/kg for 3 days. Two different experiments were performed comparing ZD6474 to radiotherapy or temozolomide. For each experiment 28 animals were randomized into four groups.RESULTS:ZD6474 in combination with radiotherapy significantly decreased tumour area by 66% compared with controls whereas the combination with temozolomide decreased tumour area by 74%.CONCLUSIONS:ZD6474 in combination with two standard modalities in the treatment of malignant glioma, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, markedly decreased the growth of an intracerebral experimental glioma. These results justify further investigations of these therapies in combination.

  • Vandetanib alters the protein pattern in malignant glioma and normal brain in the BT4C rat glioma model
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Cancer. - : Spandidos Publications. - 0020-7136 .- 1097-0215 .- 1019-6439 .- 1791-2423. ; 37:4, s. 879-890

    • The treatment of glioblastoma is unsatisfactory. Improved understanding of the biological effects of treatment, together with development of new tools to predict outcome of the initiated treatment are therefore of great need. Vandetanib (ZD6474) is mainly a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study investigated the pattern of protein expression in brain tumor and normal brain tissue, following treatment with vandetanib in a rat glioma model. BT4C-cells were stereotactically implanted into the brain of BD IX rats. The rats were divided into three different experiments. The treatment schedule for experiments one and two consisted of daily, oral doses of vandetanib from day 6 until day 12 or 20 after implantation, respectively. In the third experiment, each animal received a single dose of vandetanib on day 19 after implantation and was then sacrificed 2, 8 or 24 h thereafter. The protein expression profiles were analyzed by SELDI-TOF-MS and evaluated with multivariate statistical methods. Following treatment with vandetanib, we found significantly altered protein expression pattern in malignant glioma and normal brain. Analyzing protein spectra is an interesting option to assess biological effects induced in brain tissue by signal transduction inhibitors such as vandetanib.
