PG - 5641-5652 LID - 10.1038/onc.2016.100 [doi] AB - Gliomas are highly malignant brain tumors that are highly invasive and resistant to conventional therapy. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as PDGFRalpha (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha), which show frequent aberrant activation in gliomas, are associated with a process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a cellular alteration that confers a more invasive and drug-resistant phenotype. Although this phenomenon is well documented in human cancers, the processes by which RTKs including PDGFRalpha mediate EMT are largely unknown. Here, we report that SHP-2 (encoded by PTPN11) upregulates an EMT inducer, ZEB1, to mediate PDGFRalpha-driven glioma EMT, invasion and growth in glioma cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cells (GSCs) using cell culture and orthotopic xenograft models. ZEB1 and activated PDGFRalpha were coexpressed in invasive regions of mouse glioma xenografts and clinical glioma specimens. Glioma patients with high levels of both phospho-PDGFRalpha (p-PDGFRalpha) and ZEB1 had significantly shorter overall survival compared with those with low expression of p-PDGFRalpha and ZEB1. Knockdown of ZEB1 inhibited PDGFA/PDGFRalpha-stimulated glioma EMT, tumor growth and invasion in glioma cell lines and patient-derived GSCs. PDGFRalpha mutant deficient of SHP2 binding (PDGFRalpha-F720) or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) binding (PDGFRalpha-F731/42), knockdown of SHP2 or treatments of pharmacological inhibitor for PDGFRalpha-signaling effectors attenuated PDGFA/PDGFRalpha-stimulated ZEB1 expression, cell migration and GSC proliferation. Importantly, SHP-2 acts together with PI3K/AKT to regulate a ZEB1-miR-200 feedback loop in PDGFRalpha-driven gliomas. Taken together, our findings uncover a new pathway in which ZEB1 functions as a key regulator for PDGFRalpha-driven glioma EMT, invasiveness and growth, suggesting that ZEB1 is a promising therapeutic target for treating gliomas with high PDGFRalpha activation.
