Summary

Skull base chordoma bone invasion differs, impacting prognosis. Proteomics identified TGFβ1 and PTEN as key markers, suggesting inflammatory and motility pathway involvement in tumor growth patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • Skull base chordoma exhibits variable bone invasion, affecting surgical outcomes and prognosis.
  • The molecular mechanisms driving differential bone invasion in chordoma remain poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify molecular signatures and predictive markers associated with bone invasion extent in clivus chordoma using quantitative proteomics.
  • To elucidate the biological differences between endophytic and exophytic chordoma growth patterns.

Main Methods:

  • iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics was employed to compare protein expression between endophytic (Type I) and exophytic (Type II) clivus chordoma specimens.
  • Gene Ontology (GO) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were used for functional annotation.
  • Key identified proteins and pathways (TGFβ1, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, PTEN) were validated using immunohistochemistry and Western blot.

Main Results:

  • Proteomics identified 250 differentially expressed proteins, with inflammatory proteins upregulated in endophytic types and cell motility proteins in exophytic types.
  • Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression levels were significantly lower in endophytic compared to exophytic chordoma.
  • TGFβ1 appears crucial for bone invasion, potentially via enhanced inflammatory response and reduced cytoskeletal protein expression. PTEN is associated with invasion degree.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first proteomic insights into distinct growth patterns of clivus chordoma.
  • TGFβ1 and PTEN are novel potential biomarkers for predicting bone invasion in chordoma.
  • The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may be implicated in chordoma bone invasion, warranting further investigation with larger cohorts.
