Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain cancer with a median survival time of approximately 15 months following treatment. Common in vitro GBM models for drug screening are adherent and do not recapitulate the features of human GBM in vivo. Here we report the genomic characterization of nine patient-derived, spheroid GBM cell lines that recapitulate human GBM characteristics in orthotopic xenograft models. Genomic sequencing revealed that the spheroid lines contain alterations in GBM driver genes such as PTEN, CDKN2A, and NF1. Two spheroid cell lines, JHH-136 and JHH-520, were utilized in a high-throughput drug screen for cell viability using a 1912-member compound library. Drug mechanisms that were cytotoxic in both cell lines were Hsp90 and proteasome inhibitors. JHH-136 was uniquely sensitive to topoisomerase 1 inhibitors, while JHH-520 was uniquely sensitive to Mek inhibitors. Drug combination screening revealed that PI3 kinase inhibitors combined with Mek or proteasome inhibitors were synergistic. However, animal studies to test these drug combinations in vivo revealed that Mek inhibition alone was superior to the combination treatments. These data show that these GBM spheroid lines are amenable to high-throughput drug screening and that this dataset may deliver promising therapeutic leads for future GBM preclinical studies.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是一种致命的脑癌,治疗后中位生存时间约为 15 个月。常用于药物筛选的常见体外 GBM 模型为贴壁细胞系,无法重现体内 GBM 的特征。在这里,我们报告了 9 种患者来源的球体 GBM 细胞系的基因组特征,这些细胞系在原位异种移植模型中重现了人类 GBM 的特征。基因组测序显示,球体系中存在 GBM 驱动基因的改变,如 PTEN、CDKN2A 和 NF1。我们利用两种球体细胞系 JHH-136 和 JHH-520,对 1912 种化合物库进行高通量药物筛选,以评估细胞活力。在这两种细胞系中具有细胞毒性的药物机制是热休克蛋白 90(Hsp90)和蛋白酶体抑制剂。JHH-136 对拓扑异构酶 1 抑制剂特别敏感,而 JHH-520 对 Mek 抑制剂特别敏感。药物组合筛选显示,PI3 激酶抑制剂与 Mek 或蛋白酶体抑制剂联合使用具有协同作用。然而,体内动物研究表明,Mek 抑制单独使用优于联合治疗。这些数据表明,这些 GBM 球体细胞系适合高通量药物筛选,并且该数据集可能为未来 GBM 的临床前研究提供有前途的治疗线索。
