Abstract
A complex profile of gene expression elicited by autocrine platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling was identified in U87 MG glioblastoma cells by microarray analysis. The most striking pattern observed was a PDGF-dependent activation of at least 25 genes involved with biosynthesis and/or uptake of cholesterol and isoprenoids, including mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) synthase, HMG-CoA reductase, and low-density lipoprotein receptor. Activity of the HMG-CoA synthase promoter was induced by autocrine PDGF activity as indicated by significant reductions following forced expression of dominant-negative PDGF-A (88%) or treatment with the PDGF receptor antagonist CT52923 (50%). Induction of the HMG-CoA synthase promoter required a binding site for sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SRE-BP), consistent with a key role for these transcription factors in the induction of this gene network. Neither proteolytic activation nor nuclear localization of SRE-BP was affected by disruption of the PDGF autocrine loop, indicating that PDGF signaling is required for other signaling events involved in activation of SRE-BP target genes. Analysis of an expression databank derived from human glial tumors (n = 77) identified a subgroup exhibiting a profile consistent with PDGF dependence, including increased expression of SRE-BP target genes. This subgroup displayed an absence of epidermal growth factor receptor gene amplification, decreased incidence of allelic loss of 10q, increased frequency of TP53 mutations and allelic losses of 1p and 19q, and longer patient survival. This study identifies genes associated with oncogenic activity of PDGF and provides important insights into biomarkers and therapeutic targets in malignant gliomas.
