ABSTRACT

Radiation therapy induces double-stranded DNA breaks in tumor cells, which leads to their death. A fraction of glioblastoma cells repair such breaks and reinitiate tumor growth. It was necessary to identify the relationship between high radiation doses and the proliferative activity of glioblastoma cells, and to evaluate the contribution of DNA repair pathways, homologous recombination (HR), and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) to tumor-cell recovery. We demonstrated that the GO1 culture derived from glioblastoma cells from Patient G, who had previously been irradiated, proved to be less sensitive to radiation than the Sus\fP2 glioblastoma culture was from Patient S, who had not been exposed to radiation before. GO1 cell proliferation decreased with radiation dose, and MTT decreased to 35% after a single exposure to 125 Gγ. The proliferative potential of glioblastoma culture Sus\fP2 decreased to 35% after exposure to 5 Gγ. At low radiation doses, cell proliferation and the expression of RAD51 were decreased; at high doses, cell proliferation was correlated with Ku70 protein expression. Therefore, HR and NHEJ are involved in DNA break repair after exposure to different radiation doses. Low doses induce HR, while higher doses induce the faster but less accurate NHEJ pathway of double-stranded DNA break repair.

ABSTRACT

Cancer cell reprogramming based on treatment with G-quadruplex, having antiproliferative power, along with small molecules able to develop iPSCs into neurons, could create a novel approach to diminish the chance of glioblastoma recurrence and circumvent tumor resistance to conventional therapy. In this research, we have tested several combinations of factors to affect both total cell cultures, derived from tumor tissue of patients after surgical resection and two subfractions of this cell culture after dividing them into CD133-enriched and CD133-depleted populations (assuming CD133 to be a marker of glioblastoma stem-like cells). CD133+ and CD133- cells exhibit different responses to the same combinations of factors; CD133+ cells have stem-like properties and are more resistant. Therefore, the ability to affect CD133+ cells provides a possibility to circumvent resistance to conventional therapy and to build a promising strategy for translation to improve the treatment of patients with glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT

The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is involved in the survival of dopaminergic neurons. Besides, GDNF can also induce axonal growth and creation of new functional synapses. GDNF potential is promising for translation to treat diseases associated with neuronal death: neurodegenerative disorders, ischemic stroke, and cerebral or spinal cord damages. Unproductive clinical trials of GDNF for Parkinson's disease treatment have induced to study this failure. A reason could be due to irrelevant producer cells that cannot perform the required post-translational modifications. The biological activity of recombinant mGDNF produced by E. coli have been compared with mGDNF produced by human cells HEK293. mGDNF variants were tested with PC12 cells, rat embryonic spinal ganglion cells, and SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells in vitro as well as with a mouse model of the Parkinson's disease in vivo. Both in vitro and in vivo the best neuro-inductive ability belongs to mGDNF produced by HEK293 cells. Keywords: GDNF, neural differentiation, bacterial and mammalian expression systems, cell cultures, model of Parkinson's disease.
