Abstract:
Objective: To study the effect and possible mechanism of TGF-β2 on the invasion of glioma stem cells (GSCs). Methods: Tumor tissues of 8 patients with glioblastoma multiforme, who underwent resection at Department of Neurosurgery of the First Affiliat- ed Hospital of China Medical University during April 2016 to April 2017, were collected. The primary culture of glioma cells were con- ducted with trypsin digestion. Partial primary glioma cells were seeded into serum-free DMEM/F12 culture medium containing EGF, bFGF and B27 to obtain suspension of tumor spheres. Immunoflurenscent staining and differentiation assay were used to detect whether the tumor spheres were GSCs. TGF-β2 secretion ability of GSCs was determined by ELISA assay. After transfection of TGF-β2 siRNA, the invasion ability of glioma stem cells was determined by Transwell assay. Western blotting was used to examine the effect of TGF-β2 on expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in glioma stem cells. Results: The suspended tumor spheres were proved to be GSCs by immunofluorescent staining and differentiation assay; the tumor spheres expressed the marker of GSCs（CD133）and had the ability to multi-differentiate (glia and neuronal cells). Compared with the primary glioma cells, Glioma stem cells exerted significantly improved TGF-β2 secretion ability ([74.13±3.63] vs [46.13±2.61] pg/ml, P<0.05); and TGF-β2 silencing significantly reduced the inva- sion ability of glioma stem cells ([105.71±8.69] vs [63.67±5.93], P<0.05) and inhibited MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions. Conclusion: TGF-β2 can promote the invasiveness of glioma stem cells through MMP-2 and MMP-9 pathway.
