Vimentin promotes glioma progression and maintains glioma cell resistance to oxidative phosphorylation inhibition.
Purpose: Glioma has been demonstrated as one of the most malignant intracranial tumors and currently there is no effective treatment. Based on our previous RNA-sequencing data for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-inhibition resistant and OXPHOS-inhibition sensitive cancer cells, we found that vimentin (VIM) is highly expressed in the OXPHOS-inhibition resistant cancer cells, especially in glioma cancer cells. Further study of VIM in the literature indicates that it plays important roles in cancer progression, immunotherapy suppression, cancer stemness and drug resistance. However, its role in glioma remains elusive. This study aims to decipher the role of VIM in glioma, especially its role in OXPHOS-inhibition sensitivity, which may provide a promising therapeutic target for glioma treatment.
Methods: The expression of VIM in glioma and the normal tissue has been obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and further validated in Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). And the single-cell sequencing data was obtained from TISCH2. The immune infiltration was calculated via Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumors using Expression Data (ESTIMATE) and ssGSEA, and the Immunophenoscore (IPS) was calculated via R package. The differentiated expressed genes were analyzed including GO/KEGG and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) between the VIM-high and -low groups. The methylation of VIM was checked at the EWAS and Methsurv. The correlation between VIM expression and cancer stemness was obtained from SangerBox. We also employed DepMap data and verified the role of VIM by knocking down it in VIM-high glioma cell and over-expressing it in VIM-low glioma cells to check the cell viability.
Results: Vim is highly expressed in the glioma patients compared to normal samples and its high expression negatively correlates with patients' survival. The DNA methylation in VIM promoters in glioma patients is lower than that in the normal samples. High VIM expression positively correlates with the immune infiltration and tumor progression. Furthermore, Vim is expressed high in the OXPHOS-inhibition glioma cancer cells and low in the OXPHOS-inhibition sensitive ones and its expression maintains the OXPHOS-inhibition resistance.
Conclusions: In conclusion, we comprehensively deciphered the role of VIM in the progression of glioma and its clinical outcomes. Thus provide new insights into targeting VIM in glioma cancer immunotherapy in combination with the current treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology
Focuses on translational research
Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications
Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions.
A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
