  • A Cytoskeleton Regulator AVIL Drives Tumorigenesis in Glioblastoma

Mandell1, Roger Abounader3 & Hui Li1,2 Glioblastoma is a deadly cancer, with no effective therapies. Better understanding and identification of selective targets are urgently needed. We found that advillin (AVIL) is 1234567890():,; overexpressed in all the glioblastomas we tested including glioblastoma stem/initiating cells, but hardly detectable in non-neoplastic astrocytes, neural stem cells or normal brain. Glioma patients with increased AVIL expression have a worse prognosis. Silencing AVIL nearly eradicated glioblastoma cells in culture, and dramatically inhibited in vivo xenografts in mice, but had no effect on normal control cells. Conversely, overexpressing AVIL promoted cell proliferation and migration, enabled fibroblasts to escape contact inhibition, and transformed immortalized astrocytes, supporting AVIL being a bona fide oncogene. We provide evidence that the tumorigenic effect of AVIL is partly mediated by FOXM1, which regulates LIN28B, whose expression also correlates with clinical prognosis. AVIL regulates the cytoskeleton through modulating F-actin, while mutants disrupting F-actin binding are defective in its tumorigenic capabilities. 1 Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA. 2 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA. 3 Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology, School of Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA. 4 Tumor Hospital, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning 530021, China.

We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.

Consistent with its identi®cation as a tumor suppressor, MMAC1 (also known as PTEN or TEP-1) is mutated at expression of MMAC1 has been demonstrated to reduce a high frequency in brain, breast, and prostate tumors cell proliferation, tumorigenicity, and motility as well as as well as in melanomas and endometrial carcinomas, aect cell±cell and cell±matrix interactions of malignant (Guldberg et al., 1997; Kong et al., 1997; Li and Sun, human glioma cells. Subsequently, MMAC1 was shown 1997; Li et al., 1997; Steck et al., 1997). These to have lipid phosphatase activity towards PIP3 and observations suggest that MMAC1 acts as a tumor protein phosphatase activity against focal adhesion suppressor in multiple tissues. Indeed, subsequent kinase (FAK). The lipid phosphatase activity of studies showed that reintroduction of this gene into MMAC1 results in decreased activation of the PIP3- human glioma cells reduced cell growth, tumorigenicity dependent, anti-apoptotic kinase, AKT.
