Abstract
Glioblastoma is universally fatal and characterized by frequent chromosomal copy number alterations harboring oncogenes and tumor suppressors. In this study, we analyzed exome-wide human glioblastoma copy number data and found that cytoband 6q27 is an independent poor prognostic marker in multiple data sets. We then combined CRISPR-Cas9 data, human spatial transcriptomic data, and human and mouse RNA sequencing data to nominate PDE10A as a potential haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in the 6q27 region. Mouse glioblastoma modeling using the RCAS/tv-a system confirmed that Pde10a suppression induced an aggressive glioma phenotype in vivo and resistance to temozolomide and radiation therapy in vitro. Cell culture analysis showed that decreased Pde10a expression led to increased PI3K/AKT signaling in a Pten-independent manner, a response blocked by selective PI3K inhibitors. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing from our mouse gliomas in vivo, in combination with cell culture validation, further showed that Pde10a suppression was associated with a proneural-to-mesenchymal transition that exhibited increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration. Our results indicate that glioblastoma patients harboring PDE10A loss have worse outcomes and potentially increased sensitivity to PI3K inhibition.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The median survival of Glioblastoma (GBM) patients is less than two years with the standard of care of maximal surgical resection, radiation, and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), which regulates cellular functions by symmetrically di-methylating arginine residues, is overexpressed in GBM. Inhibiting PRMT5 induces apoptosis in differentiated and senescence in stem-like GBM tumor cells. We inhibited PRMT5 in GBM neurospheres to determine if PRMT5 inhibition would enhance TMZ’s antitumor effect.
METHODS
We depleted PRMT5 activity, in vitro, using target-specific siRNA or LLY-283 and combined these with TMZ treatment. We evaluated the antitumor effect of this combination using cell viability assay, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay, and western blot.
RESULTS
TMZ reduced the viability of GBMNS with PRMT5 knockdown significantly more than the viability of PRMT5 intact GBMNS. The combination of TMZ and PRMT5 knockdown elevated the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and caspase3/7 indicating that PRMT5 knockdown enhanced the apoptotic effects of TMZ. Cell cycle analysis showed that depleting PRMT5 abrogated TMZ-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest. Further, treatment of PRMT5-depleted GBMNS with TMZ increased ɣ-H2AX expression compared PRMT5 intact GBMNS treated with TMZ, suggesting that PRMT5 depletion enhanced TMZ-induced DNA damage. PRMT5 knockdown also inhibited the symmetric di-methylation of RUVBL1 that is required for homologous recombination repair of TMZ treatment-related DNA damage.
CONCLUSION
Overall, PRMT5 inhibition sensitized GBMNS to TMZ and enhanced TMZ-related DNA damage and cytotoxicity. These findings support further development of this potential therapeutic combination.
