Promoter methylation of the O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene has been considered a prognostic marker and has become more important in the treatment of glioblastoma. However, reports on the correlation between MGMT and clinical outcomes in Chinese glioblastoma patients are very scarce. In this study, quantitative methylation data were obtained by the pyrosequencing of tumor tissues from 128 GBM patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 13.1 months, with a 1-year survival of 45.3%. The pyrosequencing data were reproducible based on archived samples yielding data for all glioblastomas. MGMT promoter methylation was detected in 75/128 cases (58.6%), whereas 53/128 (41.4%) cases were unmethylated. Further survival analysis also revealed that methylation was an independent prognostic factor associated with prolonged OS but not with progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.029 and p = 0.112, respectively); the hazard radios were 0.63 (95% CI: 0.42–0.96) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.48–1.09), respectively. These data indicated that MGMT methylation has prognostic significance in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioblastoma undergoing alkylating agent-based chemotherapy after surgical resection. 相似文献

Background
The clinical implication of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter status is ill-defined in elderly glioblastoma patients. Here we report a meta-analysis to seek valid evidence for its clinical relevance in this subpopulation.Methods
Literature were searched and reviewed in a systematic manner using the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases. Studies investigating the association between MGMT promoter status and survival data of elderly patients (≥65 years) were eligible for inclusion.Results
Totally 16 studies were identified, with 13 studies included in the final analyses. The aggregate proportion of MGMT promoter methylation in elderly patients was 47% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 42–52%), which was similar to the value for younger patients. The analyses showed differential effects of MGMT status on overall survival (OS) of elderly patients according to assigned treatments: methylated vs. unmethylated: (1) temozolomide (TMZ)-containing therapies: hazard ratio [HR] 0.49, 95% CI 0.41–0.58; (2) TMZ-free therapies: HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.77–1.21. More importantly, a useful predictive value was observed by an interaction analysis: TMZ-containing therapies vs. RT alone: (1) methylated tumors: HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.36–0.65; (2) unmethylated tumors: HR 1.14; 95% CI 0.90–1.44.Conclusion
The meta-analysis reports an age-independent presence of MGMT promoter methylation. More importantly, the study encouraged routine testing of MGMT promoter status especially in elderly glioblastoma patients by indicating a direct linkage between biomarker test and individual treatment decision. Future studies are needed to justify the mandatory testing in younger patients. 相似文献4.

Background
The use of temozolomide (TMZ) has improved the prognosis for glioblastoma multiforme patients. However, TMZ resistance may be one of the main reasons why treatment fails. Although this resistance has frequently been linked to the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) it seems that this enzyme is not the only molecular mechanism that may account for the appearance of drug resistance in glioblastoma multiforme patients as the mismatch repair (MMR) complex, P-glycoprotein, and/or the presence of cancer stem cells may also be implicated.Methods
Four nervous system tumor cell lines were used to analyze the modulation of MGMT expression and MGMT promoter methylation by TMZ treatment. Furthermore, 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine was used to demethylate the MGMT promoter and O(6)-benzylguanine to block GMT activity. In addition, MMR complex and P-glycoprotein expression were studied before and after TMZ exposure and correlated with MGMT expression. Finally, the effect of TMZ exposure on CD133 expression was analyzed.Results
Our results showed two clearly differentiated groups of tumor cells characterized by low (A172 and LN229) and high (SF268 and SK-N-SH) basal MGMT expression. Interestingly, cell lines with no MGMT expression and low TMZ IC50 showed a high MMR complex expression, whereas cell lines with high MGMT expression and high TMZ IC50 did not express the MMR complex. In addition, modulation of MGMT expression in A172 and LN229 cell lines was accompanied by a significant increase in the TMZ IC50, whereas no differences were observed in SF268 and SK-N-SH cell lines. In contrast, P-glycoprotein and CD133 was found to be unrelated to TMZ resistance in these cell lines.Conclusions
These results may be relevant in understanding the phenomenon of TMZ resistance, especially in glioblastoma multiforme patients laking MGMT expression, and may also aid in the design of new therapeutic strategies to improve the efficacy of TMZ in glioblastoma multiforme patients. 相似文献5.

Serum-free culturing of patient-derived glioblastoma biopsies enrich for glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and is recognized as a disease-relevant model system in glioblastoma (GBM). We hypothesized that the temozolomide (TMZ) drug sensitivity of patient-derived GSC cultures correlates to clinical sensitivity patterns and has clinical predictive value in a cohort of GBM patients. To this aim, we established 51 individual GSC cultures from surgical biopsies from both treatment-naïve primary and pretreated recurrent GBM patients. The cultures were evaluated for sensitivity to TMZ over a dosing range achievable in normal clinical practice. Drug efficacy was quantified by the drug sensitivity score. MGMT-methylation status was investigated by pyrosequencing. Correlative, contingency, and survival analyses were performed for associations between experimental and clinical data. We found a heterogeneous response to temozolomide in the GSC culture cohort. There were significant differences in the sensitivity to TMZ between the newly diagnosed and the TMZ-treated recurrent disease (p <0.01). There was a moderate correlation between MGMT-status and sensitivity to TMZ (r=0.459, p=0.0009). The relationship between MGMT status and TMZ efficacy was statistically significant on multivariate analyses (p=0.0051). We found a predictive value of TMZ sensitivity in individual GSC cultures to patient survival (p=0.0089). We conclude that GSC-enriched cultures hold clinical and translational relevance by their ability to reflect the clinical heterogeneity in TMZ-sensitivity, substantiate the association between TMZ-sensitivity and MGMT-promotor methylation status and appear to have a stronger predictive value than MGMT-promotor methylation on clinical responses to TMZ. 相似文献

The DNA repair protein O6‐Methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is suggested to be associated with resistance to alkylating agents such as Temozolomide which is being used in treatment of patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Therefore, we evaluated the associations between MGMT promoter methylation and prognosis of patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Data were extracted from publications in Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. Data on overall survival (OS), progression‐free survival (PFS), and MGMT methylation status were obtained and 4,097 subjects were enrolled. Data from 34 studies showed that MGMT methylated patients had better OS, compared to GBM unmethylated patients (pooled HRs, 0.494; 95%CI 0.412–0.591; p = 0.001). Meta‐analysis of 10 eligible studies reporting on PFS, demonstrated that MGMT promoter methylation was not significantly associated with better PFS (pooled HRs, 0.653; 95%CI 0.414–1.030; p = 0.067). GBM patients with MGMT methylation were associated with longer overall survival, although this effect was not detected for PFS. Moreover, we performed further analysis in patients underwent a comprehensive imaging evaluation. This data showed a significant association with better OS and PFS, although further studies are warranted to assess the value of emerging marker in prospective setting in patients with glioblastoma as a risk stratification biomarker in clinical management of the patients. 相似文献

Gliomas are the most frequently occurring primary brain tumor in the central nervous system of adults. Glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs, WHO grade 4) have a dismal prognosis despite the use of the alkylating agent, temozolomide (TMZ), and even low grade gliomas (LGGs, WHO grade 2) eventually transform to malignant secondary GBMs. Although GBM patients benefit from promoter hypermethylation of the O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) that is the main determinant of resistance to TMZ, recent studies suggested that MGMT promoter methylation is of prognostic as well as predictive significance for the efficacy of TMZ. Glioma-CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP) in the global genome was shown to be a significant predictor of improved survival in patients with GBM. Collectively, we hypothesized that MGMT promoter methylation might reflect global DNA methylation. Additionally in LGGs, the significance of MGMT promoter methylation is still undetermined. In the current study, we aimed to determine the correlation between clinical, genetic, and epigenetic profiles including LINE-1 and different cancer-related genes and the clinical outcome in newly diagnosed 57 LGG and 54 GBM patients. Here, we demonstrated that (1) IDH1/2 mutation is closely correlated with MGMT promoter methylation and 1p/19q codeletion in LGGs, (2) LINE-1 methylation levels in primary and secondary GBMs are lower than those in LGGs and normal brain tissues, (3) LINE-1 methylation is proportional to MGMT promoter methylation in gliomas, and (4) higher LINE-1 methylation is a favorable prognostic factor in primary GBMs, even compared to MGMT promoter methylation. As a global DNA methylation marker, LINE-1 may be a promising marker in gliomas. 相似文献

Temozolomide (TMZ) is a methylating agent which prolongs survival when administered during and after radiotherapy in the first-line treatment of glioblastoma and which also has significant activity in recurrent disease. O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair enzyme attributed a role in cancer cell resistance to O6-alkylating agent-based chemotherapy. Using a panel of 12 human glioma cell lines, we here defined the sensitivity to TMZ in acute cytotoxicity and clonogenic survival assays in relation to MGMT, mismatch repair and p53 status and its modulation by dexamethasone, irradiation and BCL-X(L). We found that the levels of MGMT expression were a major predictor of TMZ sensitivity in human glioma cells. MGMT activity and clonogenic survival after TMZ exposure are highly correlated (p < 0.0001, r2 = 0.92). In contrast, clonogenic survival after TMZ exposure does not correlate with the expression levels of the mismatch repair proteins mutS homologue 2, mutS homologue 6 or post-meiotic segregation increased 2. The MGMT inhibitor O6-benzylguanine sensitizes MGMT-positive glioma cells to TMZ whereas MGMT gene transfer into MGMT-negative cells confers protection. The antiapoptotic BCL-X(L) protein attenuates TMZ cytotoxicity in MGMT-negative LNT-229 but not in MGMT-positive LN-18 cells. Neither ionizing radiation (4 Gy) nor clinically relevant concentrations of dexamethasone modulate MGMT activity or TMZ sensitivity. Abrogation of p53 wild-type function strongly attenuates TMZ cytotoxicity. Conversely, p53 mimetic agents designed to stabilize the wild-type conformation of p53 sensitize glioma cells for TMZ cytotoxicity. Collectively, these results suggest that the determination of MGMT expression and p53 status will help to identify glioma patients who will or will not respond to TMZ. 相似文献

Methylation of the O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter is associated with G:C to A:T transitions in the p53 gene in various human cancers, including lung cancer. In tumors with p53 mutation, MGMT promoter methylation is more common in advanced tumors than in early tumors. However, in tumors with wild-type p53, MGMT promoter methylation is independent of tumor stage. To elucidate whether p53 participates in MGMT promoter methylation, we engineered three cell models: A549 cells with RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of p53, and p53 null H1299 cells transfected with either wild-type p53 (WT-p53) or mutant-p53 (L194R, and R249S-p53). Knockdown of endogenous p53 increased MGMT promoter methylation in A549 cells, and transient expression of WT-p53 in p53 null H1299 cells diminished MGMT promoter methylation, whereas the MGMT promoter methylation status were unchanged by expression of mutant-p53. Previous work showed that p53 modulates DNA-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression; we additionally examined chromatin remodeling proteins expression levels of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). We found that p53 knockdown elevated expression of both DNMT1 and HDAC1 in A549 cells. Conversely, expressing WT-p53 in p53 null H1299 cells reduced DNMT1 and HDAC1 expression, but the reduction of both proteins was not observed in expressing mutant-p53 H1299 cells. CHIP analysis further showed that DNMT1 and HDAC1 binding to the MGMT promoter was increased by MGMT promoter methylation and decreased by MGMT promoter demethylation. In conclusion, MGMT promoter methylation modulated by p53 status could partially promote p53 mutation occurrence in advanced lung tumors. 相似文献

The treatment of anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) is controversial. New chemotherapeutic approaches are needed for AA treatment. Temozolomide (TMZ) is one of the chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of AA. The cytotoxic effects of TMZ can be removed by the MGMT (O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) enzyme. Then, chemotherapeutic resistance to TMZ occurs. MGMT inhibition by MGMT inactivators (such as lomeguatrib) is an important anticancer therapeutic approach to circumvent TMZ resistance. We aim to investigate the effect of TMZ–lomeguatrib combination on MGMT expression and TMZ sensitivity of SW1783 and GOS-3 AA cell lines. The sensitivity of SW1783 and GOS-3 cell lines to TMZ and to the combination of TMZ and lomeguatrib was determined by a cytotoxicity assay. MGMT methylation was detected by MS-PCR. MGMT and p53 expression were investigated by real-time PCR after drug treatment, and the proportion of apoptotic cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. When the combination of TMZ–lomeguatrib (50 μM) was used in AA cell lines, IC50 values were reduced compared to only using TMZ. MGMT expression was decreased, p53 expression was increased, and the proportion of apoptotic cells was induced in both cell lines. The lomeguatrib–TMZ combination did not have any effect on the cell cycle and caused apoptosis by increasing p53 expression and decreasing MGMT expression. Our study is a pilot study investigating a new therapeutic approach for AA treatment, but further research is needed. 相似文献

Overcoming temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioma cancer cells remains a major challenge to the effective treatment of the disease. Increasing TMZ efficacy for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is urgently needed because TMZ treatment is the standard chemotherapy protocol for adult patients with glioblastoma. O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) overexpression is associated with TMZ resistance, and low MGMT is a positive response marker for TMZ therapy. Here, we used 3 glioma cell lines (SF767, U373, and LN229), which had different levels of TMZ sensitivity. We found TMZ sensitivity is positively correlated with MGMT expression and multidrug-resistance protein ABC subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in these cells. CK2-STAT3 signaling and Hippo-YAP signaling are reported to regulate MGMT expression and ABCG2 expression, respectively. We combined CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 and YAP inhibitor verteporfin with TMZ treatment. We found that CX-4945 but not verteporfin can sensitize TMZ-resistant cells SF767 to TMZ and that CX-4945 and TMZ combinational treatment was effective for glioma treatment in mouse models compared with TMZ alone.ImplicationsA combination of CK2 inhibitor with TMZ may improve the therapeutic efficiency of TMZ toward GBM with acquired resistance. 相似文献

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system. The drug temozolomide (TMZ) prolongs lifespan in many glioblastoma patients. The sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to TMZ is interfered by many factors, such as the expression of O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and activation of AKT signaling. We have recently identified the interaction between netrin-4 (NTN4) and integrin beta-4 (ITGB4), which promotes glioblastoma cell proliferation via activating AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. In the current work we have explored the effect of NTN4/ITGB4 interaction on TMZ induced glioblastoma cell senescence. We report here that the suppression of either ITGB4 or NTN4 in glioblastoma cell lines significantly enhances cellular senescence. The sensitivity of GBM cells to TMZ was primarily determined by the expression of MGMT. To omit the effect of MGMT, we concentrated on the cell lines devoid of expression of MGMT. NTN4 partially inhibited TMZ induced cell senescence and rescued AKT from dephosphorylation in U251MG cells, a cell line bearing decent levels of ITGB4. However, addition of exogenous NTN4 displayed no significant effect on TMZ induced senescence rescue or AKT activation in U87MG cells, which expressed ITGB4 at low levels. Furthermore, overexpression of ITGB4 combined with exogenous NTN4 significantly attenuated U87MG cell senescence induced by TMZ. These data suggest that NTN4 protects glioblastoma cells from TMZ induced senescence, probably via rescuing TMZ triggered ITGB4 dependent AKT dephosphorylation. This suggests that interfering the interaction between NTN4 and ITGB4 or concomitant use of the inhibitors of the AKT pathway may improve the therapeutic efficiency of TMZ. 相似文献

Temozolomide (TMZ) is a novel cytotoxic alkylating agent for chemotherapy of malignant gliomas. However, intrinsic or acquired
resistance to TMZ often defines poor efficacy of chemotherapy in malignant gliomas. A growing number of studies indicate that
expression of O
6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is one of the principal mechanisms responsible for this chemoresistance. In the
present study, we evaluated the relationship between expression of MGMT and resistance to TMZ. We generated a TMZ-resistant
cell line, U251/TR, by stepwise (8 months) exposure of parental U251 cells to TMZ. The resistance to TMZ was quantified using
SRB assay. MGMT expression was evaluated at mRNA (RT-PCR) and protein (Western blot) levels. U251/TR cells showed increased
(~ sevenfold) resistance to TMZ. The MGMT expression (both mRNA and protein) was significantly (P < 0.01) increased in U251/TR cells compared with parental U251 cells. Further, MGMT expression fluctuated during exposure
of U251/TR cells to TMZ. The resistance of U251/TR cells to TMZ could be overcome by application of elevated doses of TMZ
when MGMT expression was at the lowest level. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the primary mechanism responsible
for resistance of U251/TR cells to TMZ is associated with increased expression of MGMT. Resistance of malignant gliomas to
TMZ can be overcome by synchronizing metronomic TMZ regimen with MGMT expression. 相似文献

O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation has been identified as a potential prognostic marker for glioblastoma patients. The relationship between the exact site of promoter methylation and its effect on gene silencing, and the patient''s subsequent response to therapy, is still being defined. The aim of this study was to comprehensively characterize cytosine-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide methylation across the entire MGMT promoter and to correlate individual CpG site methylation patterns to mRNA expression, protein expression, and progression-free survival. To best identify the specific MGMT promoter region most predictive of gene silencing and response to therapy, we determined the methylation status of all 97 CpG sites in the MGMT promoter in tumor samples from 70 GBM patients using quantitative bisulfite sequencing. We next identified the CpG site specific and regional methylation patterns most predictive of gene silencing and improved progression-free survival. Using this data, we propose a new classification scheme utilizing methylation data from across the entire promoter and show that an analysis based on this approach, which we call 3R classification, is predictive of progression-free survival (HR = 5.23, 95% CI [2.089–13.097], p<0.0001). To adapt this approach to the clinical setting, we used a methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) test based on the 3R classification and show that this test is both feasible in the clinical setting and predictive of progression free survival (HR = 3.076, 95% CI [1.301–7.27], p = 0.007). We discuss the potential advantages of a test based on this promoter-wide analysis and compare it to the commonly used methylation-specific PCR test. Further prospective validation of these two methods in a large independent patient cohort will be needed to confirm the added value of promoter wide analysis of MGMT methylation in the clinical setting. 相似文献
