Study Description

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor. Epidermal growth-factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth-factor (PDGF) receptors are frequently amplified and/or possess gain-of-function mutations in these tumors. Despite years of research into tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, clinical trials have shown disappointing efficacy. One of the underlying reasons is intra-tumor heterogeneity. To assess the effect of intra-tumor heterogeneity on gene expression, we derived a general approach to map single-cell expression profiles to sequentially-acquired mutations identified from exome sequencing. Using 288 single cells, we constructed high-resolution phylogenies of EGF-driven and PDGF-driven GBMs, modeling transcriptional kinetics during tumor evolution. A deletion in a PDGF-receptor domain involved in dimerization correlated to an up-regulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in a proneural GBM, and ectopic expression of this mutant PDGFRA in vitro enhanced proliferation and invasiveness. Descending the phylogenetic tree of the PDGFR-driven tumor ... (Show More)

Dataset ID Description Technology Samples
EGAD00001002269
We expressed PDGFRAmut, wild-type PDGFRA and a GFP control from lentivirus, in two primary GBM patient-derived cell lines that we had cultured as monolayers.
Illumina HiSeq 4000 1
EGAD00001002270
We collected fresh tissue from an untreated GBM (SF10282) directly from the operating room and subjected the biopsy to single-cell RNA-seq with the fluidigm C1 machine, resulting in sequencing libraries from 96 individual cells.
Illumina HiSeq 2500 1
EGAD00001002271
We collected fresh tissue from an untreated GBM (SF10345) directly from the operating room and subjected the biopsy to single-cell RNA-seq with the fluidigm C1 machine, resulting in sequencing libraries from 96 individual cells.
