Abstract

Astrocytomas are among the most common tumors of the central nervous system and are classified according to the degree of malignancy from I to IV, considering histological and genetic alterations of the tumor. The grade IV or glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and malignant and standard treatment consists on tumor surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Despite this aggressive treatment, the median survival of patients with GBM is around one year. In order to increase patient survival, researchers try to combine the standard therapy with other biological therapies. To this end, several studies have been developed searching for membrane proteins expressed in different tumor types, including GBM, which could serve as therapeutic targets. In this context, CD99 is a protein expressed on the membrane of hematopoietic cells and other cell types and plays a role in differentiation, adhesion and migration of T and B lymphocytes. CD99 has also been described in various types of tumors, including sarcoma and GBM. Our laboratory has shown high levels of mRNA and protein in GBM tissue samples and cell lines. A detailed study of the CD99 role will be performed by analyzing the transcriptome of GBM cell lines (A172 and U87MG) knocked out for CD99 expression in order to identify signaling pathways modulated by CD99. The transcriptome analysis will direct functional studies to be conducted to substantiate the findings. Additionally, the tumorigenic capacity of knocked cell lines will be evaluated in vivo. (AU)
