摘要
Purpose We previously reported that there was a subgroup of IDH -mutated astrocytomas harboring only 19q-loss showing oligodendroglioma-like morphology and significantly longer overall survival (OS) compared with 19q-intact astrocytomas. The aim of this study was to further explore the biological characteristics of this possible subgroup and obtain insight into the mechanism of their relatively benign clinical behavior. Methods We compared gene expression pattern between five 19q-loss and five 19q-intact IDH -mutated astrocytomas by microarray analysis. Results By comparing expression levels of genes of 19q-loss astrocytomas to those of 19q-intact astrocytomas, 102 up-regulated genes and 162 down-regulated genes were extracted. The down-regulated genes clustered heavily to 19q and 4p while the up-regulated genes clustered to 4q. It was noteworthy that fibroblast growth factor 1 associated with stem cell maintenance and multiple genes associated with glioma progression were down-regulated in 19q-loss astrocytomas, and these results were validated with the independent TCGA data set. On t-SNE analysis of the 19q-loss astrocytomas with other IDH -mutant glioma subgroups from the TCGA datasets, the expression pattern of the 19q-loss astrocytomas showed no shift toward oligodendrogliomas with 1p/19q codeletion but rather constituted a subgroup of astrocytoma. Conclusions These findings suggested that 19q-loss in astrocytomas is more likely acquired event rather than an early event in oncogenesis like the 1p/19q-codeletion in oligodendrogliomas, and that the biological features of 19q-loss astrocytomas are possibly related to differentially expressed genes associated with stem cell maintenance and glioma progression.
