Abstract

Activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has emerged as an important therapeutic target for a variety of solid tumors, particularly malignant gliomas. A recently discovered transmembrane glycoprotein, LRIG1, antagonizes the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor family receptor tyrosine kinases and acts as a negative feedback loop of EGFR and proposed tumor suppressors. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of LRIG1 on the biological features of glioma cells and the possible mechanisms of enhanced apoptosis induced by upregulation of LRIG1. We observed that the expression of LRIG1 was decreased, while the expression of EGFR was increased in the majority of astrocytomas, and the ratio of EGFR/LRIG1 was increased by sixfold in tumors versus corresponding non-neoplastic tissue. Upregulation of LRIG1, followed by a decrease of EGFR on the cytomembrane of the cells, induced cell apoptosis and cell growth inhibition, and further reversed invasion in glioma cell lines and primary glioma cells. Our study now clearly indicates that LRIG1 indeed affects cell fate and biology behaviors of the cells in vitro by inhibiting phosphorylation of downstream MAPK and AKT signaling pathway, and the elevated release level of caspase-8 might contribute to the enhanced apoptosis in LRIG1 transfected glioma cells. Taken together, these findings provide us with an insight into LRIG1 function, and we conclude that LRIG1 evolved in gliomas as a rare feedback negative attenuator of EGFR and could offer a novel therapeutic target to treat patients with malignant gliomas.

Eine Studie zum Nutzen der druckentlastenden Kraniektomie nach schwerer tiefer supratentorieller Hirnblutung deutet einen Nutzen der Operation an. Für überlebende Patienten ist das dennoch nur eine bedingt gute Nachricht.

Auch ein sehr ausgedehnter ischämischer Schlaganfall scheint an sich kein Grund zu sein, von einer mechanischen Thrombektomie abzusehen. Dafür spricht die LASTE-Studie, an der Patienten und Patientinnen mit einem ASPECTS von maximal 5 beteiligt waren.
