Abstract 5162: Oligodendrocytes might up-regulate the invasiveness of glioblastoma cells via Angiopoietin-2 signaling pathway
Background & Aims: Glioblastoma (GBM, WHO Grade IV) is considered as the most lethal neoplasm of all solid cancers due to its inherent intensive invasiveness. GBM may arise de novo, or following progression from lower grade gliomas. Recently, solid tumor progression has been recognized as the pr...

Zusammenfassung: | Background & Aims: Glioblastoma (GBM, WHO Grade IV) is considered as the most lethal neoplasm of all solid cancers due to its inherent intensive invasiveness. GBM may arise de novo, or following progression from lower grade gliomas. Recently, solid tumor progression has been recognized as the product of an evolving crosstalk between the cancer cells and its surrounding glial cells. The intensive invasion activity of GBM cells might be regulated by surrounding normal cells such as oligodendrocytes or fibroblasts. In this study, we evaluated the interactive factors between GBM cells and normal glial cells to determine the role of oligodendrocytes in regulating the invasiveness of glioblastoma cells. Methods: Two GBM cell lines, T98G and U251, were used. Two oligodendrocyte cell lines, ODC1 and ODC2, were derived one each from surgical tissues of patients with low-grade glioma (WHO Grade II). Two fibroblasts cell lines, GF1 and GF2, were derived one each from surgical tissues of patients with GBM. Oligodendrocytes and fibroblasts were confirmed by immuno-histochemical staining. The invasive property of GBM cells was analyzed in the presence or absence of conditioned medium from oligodendrocytes or fibroblasts by wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber invasion assay. The proliferation ability of GBM cells was examined by MTT assay. Subsequently Cytokine array was used to examine the cytokines and growth factors in the conditioned medium from oligodendrocytes or fibroblasts. Results: Oligodendrocyte cells, ODC1 and ODC2 cells, significantly (p |
