Results are based in part upon data generated by TCGA Research Network (http://cancergenome.nih.gov/). We aggregated TCGA transcriptomic and RPPA data from public repositories, listed in the “Data availability” section. RNA-seq expression data were processed by TCGA at the gene level, rather than at the transcript level. Tumors spanned 32 different TCGA projects, each project representing a specific cancer type, listed as follows: LAML, acute myeloid leukemia; ACC, adrenocortical carcinoma; BLCA, bladder urothelial carcinoma; LGG, lower grade glioma; BRCA, breast invasive carcinoma; CESC, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma; CHOL, cholangiocarcinoma; CRC, colorectal adenocarcinoma (combining COAD and READ projects); ESCA, esophageal carcinoma; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; HNSC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; KICH, kidney chromophobe; KIRC, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma; KIRP, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma; LIHC, liver hepatocellular carcinoma; LUAD, lung adenocarcinoma; LUSC, lung squamous cell carcinoma; DLBC, lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; MESO, mesothelioma; OV, ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma; PAAD, pancreatic adenocarcinoma; PCPG, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma; PRAD, prostate adenocarcinoma; SARC, sarcoma; SKCM, skin cutaneous melanoma; STAD, stomach adenocarcinoma; TGCT, testicular germ cell tumors; THYM, thymoma; THCA, thyroid carcinoma; UCS, uterine carcinosarcoma; UCEC, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma; UVM, uveal melanoma.

To compare our methylation-based classification of CNS tumours with described methylation classes of brain tumours by the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project, we downloaded the pre-processed methylation dataset described in Ceccarelli et al. 201618 including methylation data of 418 low grade glioma and 377 glioblastoma samples analysed by using the Illumina 450k array or 27k array platforms. To classify our samples according to the TCGA pan-glioma DNA methylation classification, we trained a Random Forest classifier on this dataset using the 1,300 CpG probe signature provided by the authors and using the default settings of the Random Forest algorithms implemented in the R package randomForest. The results of this classification for astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and glioblastomas are shown in Extended Data Figure 3d and are given on a case-by-case basis in Supplementary Table 2 and 4.

To better understand the genetic pathogenesis of gliomas and begin to identify potential glioma-specific molecular therapeutic targets, consistent molecular characterization of a large number of tumors is required.
This process was undertaken under a national prospective clinical trial that would eventually be IRB-approved both within the NCI intramural program as well as through both CTEP-sponsored adult brain tumor consortia (NABTT and NABTC protocol # 01-07). With the activation of this study, we collected matched tumor, blood and plasma from the 14 contributing institutions (National Institutes of Health, Henry Ford Hospital, Thomas Jefferson University, University of California San Francisco, H. Lee Moffitt Hospital, University of Wisconsin, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, University of California Los Angeles, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Dana Farber Cancer Center, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts General Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). All tissue collected is sent to the Neuro-Oncology Branch laboratory for processing. The samples were provided as snap frozen sections of areas immediately adjacent to the region used for the histopathological diagnosis. Initial histopathological diagnosis is performed at the tissue collecting institution following the World Health Organization (WHO) standards(6 (link)). The initial diagnosis is reviewed by in-house neuropathologists to assure a measure of consistency across samples. To date, 874 complete frozen sample sets have been accrued, of those 389 are Glioblastoma Multiforme, 122 are Astrocytomas, 113 are Oligodendrogliomas, 33 are Mixed with the reminder still unclassified.
Clinical data on the patients is collected prospectively until the patient’s death through the NABTC Operations Office at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas and the NABTT Operations office at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. The clinical data collected is updated into the Rembrandt database on a quarterly basis.
In order to assure consistency in the collection, shipment, processing, assaying, storage, data retrieval and dissemination, we have put together a series of standard operating procedures (SOPs) that have resulted in a streamlined, high-throughput operation capable of handling large numbers of samples in a consistent, operator-independent fashion. Consistency of data over time is continuously monitored by looking for any signs of batch effect in the analyses.

TCGA ccRCC-specific analyses were performed with the KIRC datasets downloaded from Firebrowse (http://firebrowse.org). RSEM-normalized gene level data and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) data were used for gene and protein expression analyses, respectively. Samples that had RNA-Seq, mutation and clinical data (n = 415) were included in the discovery phase of the immune infiltration clusters.
The Sato et al. [29 (link)] Agilent microarray gene expression dataset was downloaded from ArrayExpress (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1980/) and all samples (n = 101) were included in the analysis. The probe identifiers in the Agilent platform were mapped to HGNC gene symbols and the arithmetic mean across identifiers was used for cases where multiple Agilent identifiers mapped to a single HGNC symbol.
The Gerlinger et al. [57 (link)] Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarray gene expression dataset was obtained via personal communication with the authors on 10 November 2014. This dataset includes 56 tumor and six normal samples from nine ccRCC patients. All samples were included in our analysis. The probe sets in this Affymetrix platform were mapped to HGNC gene symbols and the geometric mean across probe sets was used for cases where multiple probe sets mapped to a single HGNC symbol.

To determine the correlation between single gene expression and clinical characteristics and prognosis of glioma patients, we conducted univariate and multivariate independent prognostic analysis on gene expression profile, clinical profile, and survival profile in CGGA and GSE43378 by Cox regression method using survival R package. The clinical profile of glioma patients in CGGA and GSE43378 are shown in Table 1. We further screened out clinical characteristics relating to glioma prognosis and determined the prognostic value of the single gene, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

More about "Glioblastoma Multiforme"

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and highly malignant form of brain cancer that originates from glial cells.
It is characterized by rapid growth, extensive invasion of surrounding brain tissue, and poor prognosis.
GBM is the most common and deadly primary brain tumor, accounting for over 50% of all brain cancer cases.
Effective treatment protocols are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with this devastating disease.
Researchers often use cell lines like LN229 and U87MG to study GBM in the lab.
These cell lines are commonly cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and antibiotics like Penicillin and Streptomycin to prevent bacterial contamination.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving GBM, as well as developing novel therapies, is an active area of research.
Synonyms for GBM include glioblastoma, GBM, grade IV astrocytoma, and malignant glioma.
Related terms include astrocytes, glial cells, brain cancer, and neuro-oncology.
Abbreviations used in the field include GBM, WHO (World Health Organization), and CNS (Central Nervous System).
Key subtopics in GBM research include tumor heterogeneity, angiogenesis, invasion, tumor microenvironment, cancer stem cells, and resistance to treatment.
Leveraging the power of AI, platforms like PubCompare.ai can help researchers optimize their GBM research protocols by identifying the most effective methods and products from the literature, pre-prints, and patents.
This can enhance reproducibility and accuracy in GBM studies, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients.
