Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is classified as WHO grade IV Astrocytoma & is the most common highly aggressive form of primary brain tumor. Garde IV tumor are highly recurrent even after treatment, with patient survival rate is less than two years from the time of diagnosis. This might be due to overexpression of one of the factor such as ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC transporters) responsible for drug resistance. ABCC transporter family a member of ABC transporter was found to mostly responsible for multi drug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. On the other hand, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) an alternative splicing factor play different role in various cellular process such as nucleic acid metabolism, transcription and translation regulation, among them hnRNPA1 is best studied and its aberrant deregulation favor development of cancer. This study was focused on to study the function of hnRNPA1 in the expression analysis of ABCC transporter (responsible for MDR) in glioma cell lines. The expression of ABCC transporter (ABCC4 and ABCC6) gene was examined in two glioma cell line i.e. U87MG and T98G in normal and knockdown two alternative variants of hnRNPA1 by Quantitative Realtime PCR and Reverse Transcription PCR. We found that ABCC4 was significantly overexpressed in hnRNPA1 Variant 2 knockdown cells (si hnRNPA1 V2) in U87 (3-fold) and in T98G (18.34-fold), While hnRNPA1 Variant 1 knockdown cells (hnRNPA1 V1i) does not shows any significant effect. Further, the expression of ABCC6 was decreased in both hnRNPA1 V1i (0.40-fold) and hnRNPA1 V2i (0.48-fold) in U87. Reverse transcription based result were complemented with normal PCR based detection strategy after running in agarose gel for U87MG and T98G glioma cell line. Finally, this result indicates that hnRNPA1 an alternative splicing factor regulate the expression of ABCC4 and ABCC6 transporter which are responsible for multiple drug resistance in cancer. This information will help in future for the development of an alternative method for the treatment of drug resistance cases in brain tumor and other tumors by targeting hnRNPA1 splicing factor.

Abstract Background Malignant glioma cell line models are integral to pre-clinical testing of novel potential therapies. Accurate prediction of likely efficacy in the clinic requires that these models are reliable and consistent. We assessed this by examining the reporting of experimental conditions and sensitivity to temozolomide in glioma cells lines. Methods We searched Medline and Embase (Jan 1994-Jan 2021) for studies evaluating the effect of temozolomide monotherapy on cell viability of at least one malignant glioma cell line. Key data items included type of cell lines, temozolomide exposure duration in hours (hr), and cell viability measure (IC50). Results We included 212 studies from 2789 non-duplicate records that reported 248 distinct cell lines. The commonest cell line was U87 (60.4%). Only 10.4% studies used a patient-derived cell line. The proportion of studies not reporting each experimental condition ranged from 8.0–27.4%, including base medium (8.0%), serum supplementation (9.9%) and number of replicates (27.4%). In studies reporting IC50, the median value for U87 at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h was 123.9 μM (IQR 75.3–277.7 μM), 223.1 μM (IQR 92.0–590.1 μM) and 230.0 μM (IQR 34.1–650.0 μM), respectively. The median IC50 at 72 h for patient-derived cell lines was 220 μM (IQR 81.1–800.0 μM). Conclusion Temozolomide sensitivity reported in comparable studies was not consistent between or within malignant glioma cell lines. Drug discovery science performed on these models cannot reliably inform clinical translation. A consensus model of reporting can maximise reproducibility and consistency among in vitro studies.

Background: The gliomas represent the most common primary malignant brain tumors; however, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors. Recent research reveals that the oncogenesis and development of gliomas have a close relation to the overexpression of several oncogenes and the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Whether the RING finger protein, RNF138, a newly discovered protein, plays a role in glioma oncogenesis is unknown. The present study investigates the expression levels of RNF138 mRNA in glioma samples and noncancerous brain samples and its function in the human glioma cell line U251.Methods: RT-PCR was used to ascertain the expression of RNF138 mRNA in the glioma cell lines U251, SHG44, U87, A172, and U373. The RNF138 mRNA expression levels of 35 pathological confirmed glioma samples (Grade I – 4 cases, Grade II – 13 cases, Grade III – 11 cases, and Grade IV – 7 cases) and five noncancerous brain tissue samples were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. By RNA interference (RNAi) with the lentivirus vector system, the expression of RNF138 was inhibited in the human astrocytomas-glioblastoma multiforme cell line U251. The effects of RNF138-knockdown on cell proliferation were assessed by Cellomics, and cell cycle and cell apoptosis were assessed by FACS.Results: The RNF138 mRNA is expressed in the five glioma cell lines, and its expression level is significantly higher in glioma tissue than in noncancerous brain tissue. By down-regulation of RNF138 expression, U251 cell proliferation was inhibited and cell apoptosis increased. At the same time, S stage cells lessened and G2 stage cells increased.Conclusion: The RNF138 gene is highly expressed in glioma tissue and glioma cell lines. It plays an important role in glioma cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle.

✓ Two human glioma cell lines were examined for multidrug resistance (MDR). A vincristine (VCR)-resistant glioma cell line showed a cross resistance to Adriamycin (doxorubicin, ADR) and etoposide (VP-16) to varying extents, suggesting the presence of MDR; the resistance to VCR was considerably decreased by calcium entry blockers. On the other hand, another VCR-sensitive glioma cell line exhibited no cross resistance to ADR or VP-16. Double minute chromosomes and homogeneously staining regions as well as clonal aberrations of chromosome 7 were not observed in cytogenetic studies of multidrug-resistant and multidrug-sensitive glioma cell lines. In Northern and Southern blot analyses, MDR gene 1 (MDR1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was shown to be overexpressed without any amplification of the MDR1 gene in multidrug-resistant glioma cell lines as compared to multidrug-sensitive glioma cell lines. It would be reasonable to suggest that amplification of the MDR1 gene may not be a sine qua non for acquisition of MDR and that the MDR1 mRNA level may be well correlated with the extent of MDR.

Mutations in the Drosophila kep1 gene, encoding a single maxi KH (K homology) domain-containing RNA-binding protein, result in a reduction of fertility in part due to the disruption of the apoptotic programme during oogenesis. This disruption is concomitant with the appearance of an alternatively spliced mRNA isoform encoding the inactive caspase dredd. We generated a Kep1 antibody and have found that the Kep1 protein is present in the nuclei of both the follicle and nurse cells during all stages of Drosophila oogenesis. We have shown that the Kep1 protein is phosphorylated in ovaries induced to undergo apoptosis following treatment with the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin. We have also found that the Kep1 protein interacts specifically with the SR (serine/arginine-rich) protein family member ASF/SF2 (alternative splicing factor/splicing factor 2). This interaction is independent of the ability of Kep1 to bind RNA, but is dependent on the phosphorylation of the Kep1 protein, with the interaction between Kep1 and ASF/SF2 increasing in the presence of activated Src. Using a CD44v5 alternative splicing reporter construct, we observed 99% inclusion of the alternatively spliced exon 5 following kep1 transfection in a cell line that constitutively expresses activated Src. This modulation in splicing was not observed in the parental NIH 3T3 cell line in which we obtained 7.5% exon 5 inclusion following kep1 transfection. Our data suggest a mechanism of action in which the in vivo phosphorylation status of the Kep1 protein affects its affinity towards its protein binding partners and in turn may allow for the modulation of alternative splice site selection in Kep1–ASF/SF2-dependent target genes.

ObjectiveAccumulating evidence has highlighted the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) of microRNAs (miRNAs) through their binding sites in the progression of glioma. Hereby, we aim to explore the role of LINC00883 as a regulator of miR-136 and its target, NIMA-related kinase 1 (NEK1), thus, its involvement in the drug resistance of glioma cells.Methods and ResultsMechanistic investigations by dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down, and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays indicated that LINC00883 bound to miR-136, thereby blocking miR-136-induced downregulation of NEK1. Through gain-of-function experiments in U251 cells that presented a high drug resistance, we found that ectopic expression of LINC00883 resulted in increased MRP (encoding multidrug resistance-associated protein), limited cell apoptosis, and increased proliferation. Expectedly, depleting LINC00883 yielded tumor-suppressive and anti-chemoresistance effects on U251 cells by increasing miR-136 and inhibiting NEK1. Next, drug-resistant glioma cell line SOWZ1, drug-sensitive glioma cell line SOWZ2, and drug-resistant glioma cell line SOWZ2-BCNU (SOWZ2 cultured in BCNU) were applied to validate the roles of LINC00883 in the regulation of multidrug resistance. LINC00883 knockdown suppressed the viability of SWOZ1, SWOZ2, and SWOZ2-BCNU cells.ConclusionIn conclusion, LINC00883 knockdown reduces drug resistance in glioma. Hence, our study provides a future strategy to prevent drug resistance-induced therapeutic failure in glioma.

Background: Malignant glioma cell line models are integral to pre-clinical testing of novel potential therapies. Accurate prediction of likely efficacy in the clinic requires that these models are reliable and consistent. We assessed this by examining the reporting of experimental conditions and sensitivity to temozolomide in glioma cells lines. Methods: We searched Medline and Embase (Jan 1994-Jan 2021) for studies that evaluated the effect of temozolomide monotherapy on cell viability of at least one malignant glioma cell line. Studies using a drug-resistant cell line or a modified preparation of temozolomide were excluded. Key data items included type of cell lines, temozolomide exposure duration, and cell viability measure (IC50). Results: We included 212 eligible studies from 2,789 non-duplicate records that reported 248 distinct cell lines. The commonest cell line was U87 (60.4%). Only 10.4% studies used a patient-derived cell line. The proportion of studies not reporting each experimental condition ranged from 8.0-27.4%, including base medium (8.0%), serum supplementation (9.9%) and number of replicates (27.4%). In studies reporting IC50 the median value for U87 cell line at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours was 123.9μM (IQR 75.3-277.7μM), 223.1μM (IQR 92.0-590.1μM) and 230.0μM (IQR 34.1-650.0μM), respectively (Figure 2A). The median IC50 at 72 hours for patient-derived cell lines was 220μM (IQR 81.1-800.0μM). Conclusions: Temozolomide sensitivity reported in comparable studies was not consistent between and within individual malignant glioma cell lines. Drug discovery science performed on these models cannot reliably inform clinical translation. A consensus model of reporting can maximise reproducibility and consistency among in vitro studies.
