| Research Abstract |
Invasion, angiogenesis, and proliferation of malignant gliomas are fundamental traits and major reasons for treatment failure. These traits are considered to originate from glioma stem cell niche. Delineation of glioma stem cell niche is important in establishing treatment for gliomas. We have established two animal models that histologically recapitulated two invasive and angiogenic phenotypes, namely angiogenesis-dependent (J3T-1) and .independent (J3T-2) invasion, also observed in human glioblastoma. GFP-expressing J3T-1G cells were inoculated to establish brain tumors in athymic rats. Pathological samples of these animal gliomas were examined to analyze proliferation, invasioin, and angiogenesis in relation to glioma stem cell niche. J3T-1G tumor showed remarkable angiogenesis, and glioma cells clustered around newly developed vessels at tumor borders, For dynamic analysis, slice culture of rat brain harboring glioma was monitored by timelapse imaging. Cell division of J3T-1G cells were seen around vasculature. Tumor cells migrated along external space of vascular channel. Our results indicated glioma niche exists around vasculature. Microenvironment of glioma stem cell niche was shown histologically.
