Multimodal therapy including surgery, radiation treatment, and temozolomide (TMZ) is performed on glioblastoma (GBM). However, the prognosis is still poor and there is an urgent need to develop effective treatments to improve survival. Molecular biological analysis was conducted to examine the signal activation patterns in GBM specimens and remains an open problem. Advanced macrolides, such as azithromycin, reduce the phosphorylation of p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), a downstream mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) effector, and suppress the proliferation of T-cells. We focused on its unique profile and screened for the antitumor activity of approved macrolide antibiotics. Clindamycin (CLD) reduced the viability of GBM cells in vitro. We assessed the effects of the candidate macrolide on the mTOR pathway through Western blotting. CLD attenuated p70S6K phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. These effects on GBM cells were enhanced by co-treatment with TMZ. Furthermore, CLD inhibited the expression of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protein in cultured cells. In the mouse xenograft model, CLD and TMZ co-administration significantly suppressed the tumor growth and markedly decreased the number of Ki-67 (clone MIB-1)-positive cells within the tumor. These results suggest that CLD suppressed GBM cell growth by inhibiting mTOR signaling. Moreover, CLD and TMZ showed promising synergistic antitumor activity.

We have previously published a study on the reliable detection of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in lower-grade gliomas by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). In this short article, we re-evaluated five glioma cases originally assessed as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wildtype, which showed a high accumulation of 2HG, and were thought to be false-positives. A new primer was used for the detection of IDH2 mutation by Sanger sequencing. Adequate tissue for DNA analysis was available in 4 out of 5 cases. We found rare IDH2 mutations in two cases, with IDH2 R172W mutation in one case and IDH2 R172K mutation in another case. Both cases had very small mutant peaks, suggesting that the tumor volume was low in the tumor samples. Thus, the specificity of MRS for detecting IDH1/2 mutations was higher (81.3%) than that originally reported (72.2%). The detection of 2HG by MRS can aid in the diagnosis of rare, non-IDH1-R132H IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in gliomas.

We experienced a case of an accidental infantile acute subdural hematoma caused by household minor head trauma(Nakamura type I intracranial hemorrhage)with postoperative hemispheric hypodensity lesion(Big Black Brain)whose pathophysiology was analyzed using perfusion MRI. A ten-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital in a comatose state. His mother revealed that the boy suffered a fall from a sofa bed. A CT scan indicated massive acute subdural hematoma in the left cerebral hemisphere. Emergency craniotomy and hematoma evacuation were performed. On postoperative day 3, CT revealed hemispheric hypodensity, and the boy suffered from status epilepticus. MRI on the following day showed widespread white matter hyperintensity in diffusion-weighted images, and MRA demonstrated dilation of the middle cerebral artery. Perfusion MRI using the dynamic susceptibility contrast method revealed a marked increase in cerebral blood flow in the left hemisphere. These abnormal MRI and MRA findings disappeared on postoperative day 13. Status epilepticus also improved upon administration of multi-antiepileptic drugs. Fundoscopy findings on postoperative day 3 showed small bilateral petechial or brush retinal hemorrhages. However, whole-body examination did not show any problems, and was consistent with the mother's account. Thus, we judged non-abusive head trauma. Although follow-up MRI showed diffuse atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere, the boy aged well without obvious paresis or verbal developmental delay as judged by a follow-up more than a year later. Based on these results, we speculated that hyperperfusion caused by dilation of the cerebral artery was related to the postoperative hemispheric hypodensity, namely "Big Black Brain".

We have previously reported that reliable detection of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant WHO grade 2 and 3 gliomas is possible utilizing 3.0-T single-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SVMRS). We set out to determine whether the same method could be applied to detect 2HG in IDH-mutant glioblastoma. Forty-four patients harboring glioblastoma underwent pre-operative MRS evaluation to detect 2HG and other metabolites. Presence of IDH-mutations was determined by IDH1 R132H immunohistochemical analysis and DNA sequencing of surgically obtained tissues. Six out of 44 (13.6%) glioblastomas were IDH-mutant. IDH-mutant glioblastoma exhibited significantly higher accumulation of 2HG (median 3.191 vs. 0.000 mM, p < 0.0001, Mann-Whitney test). A cutoff of 2HG = 0.897 mM achieved high sensitivity (100.0%) and specificity (92.59%) in determining IDH-mutation in glioblastoma. Glioblastoma with high 2HG accumulation did not have significantly longer overall survival than glioblastoma with low 2HG accumulation (p = 0.107, log-rank test). Non-invasive and reliable detection of 2HG in IDH-mutant glioblastoma was possible by 3.0-T SVMRS.

Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most malignant human cancers, frequently recurs despite multimodal treatment with surgery and chemo/radiotherapies. GBM-initiating cells (GICs) are the likely cell-of-origin in recurrences, as they proliferate indefinitely, form tumors in vivo, and are resistant to chemo/radiotherapies. It is therefore crucial to find chemicals that specifically kill GICs. We established temozolomide (the standard medicine for GBM)-resistant GICs (GICRs) and used the cells for chemical screening. Here, we identified 1-(3-C-ethynyl-β-d-ribopentofuranosyl) uracil (EUrd) as a selective drug for targeting GICRs. EUrd induced the death in GICRs more effectively than their parental GICs, while it was less toxic to normal neural stem cells. We demonstrate that the cytotoxic effect of EUrd on GICRs partly depended on the increased expression of uridine-cytidine kinase-like 1 (UCKL1) and the decreased one of 5'-nucleotidase cytosolic III (NT5C3), which regulate uridine-monophosphate synthesis positively and negatively respectively. Together, these findings suggest that EUrd can be used as a new therapeutic drug for GBM with the expression of surrogate markers UCKL1 and NT5C3. Stem Cells 2016;34:2016-2025.

Genetic and epigenetic status, including mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and TP53 and methylation of O(6) -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), are associated with the development of various types of glioma and are useful for prognostication. Here, using routinely available histology sections from 312 patients with diffuse gliomas, we performed immunohistochemistry using antibodies specific for IDH1 mutation, MGMT methylation status, and aberrant p53 expression to evaluate the possible prognostic significance of these features. With regard to overall survival (OS), univariate analysis indicated that an IDH1-positive profile in patients with glioblastoma (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligoastrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, or a MGMT-negative profile in patients with GBM and AA were significantly associated with a favorable outcome. Multivariate analysis revealed that both profiles were independent factors influencing prognosis. The OS of patients with IDH1-positive/MGMT-negative profiles was significantly longer than that of patients with negative/negative and negative/positive profiles. A p53 profile was not an independent prognostic factor. However, for GBM/AA patients with IDH1-negative/MGMT-negative profiles, p53 overexpression was significantly associated with an unfavorable outcome. Thus, the immunohistochemical profiles of IDH1 and MGMT are of considerable significance in gliomas, and a combination of IDH1, MGMT and p53 profiles may be useful for prognostication of GBM/AA.

BACKGROUND: The supplementary motor area (SMA) makes multiple reciprocal connections to many areas of the cerebral cortices, such as the primary motor cortex (PMC), anterior cingulate cortex, and various regions in the parietal somatosensory cortex. In patients with SMA seizures, epileptic discharges from the SMA rapidly propagate to the PMC. We sought to determine whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is able to intraoperatively display hemodynamic changes in epileptic network activities between the SMA and the PMC. CASE DESCRIPTIONS: In a 60-year-old male with SMA seizures, we intraoperatively delivered a 500 Hz, 5-train stimulation to the medial cortical surface and measured the resulting hemodynamic changes in the PMC by calculating the oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) concentration changes during stimulation. No hemodynamic changes in the lateral cortex were observed during stimulation of the medial surface corresponding to the foot motor areas. In contrast, both HbO2 and HbR increased in the lateral cortex corresponding to the hand motor areas when the seizure onset zone was stimulated. In the premotor cortex and the lateral cortex corresponding to the trunk motor areas, hemodynamic changes showed a pattern of increased HbO2 with decreased HbR. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported study using intraoperative NIRS to characterize the epileptic network activities between the SMA and PMC. Our intraoperative NIRS procedure may thus be useful in monitoring the activities of cortico-cortical neural pathways such as the language system.

INTRODUCTION: Previous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and mass spectroscopy studies have shown accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gliomas. IDH mutation is known to be a powerful positive prognostic marker in malignant gliomas. Hence, 2HG accumulation in gliomas was assumed to be a positive prognostic factor in gliomas, but this has not yet been proven. Here, we analyzed 52 patients harboring World Health Organization (WHO) grade II and III gliomas utilizing 3.0-tesla MRS. RESULTS: Mutant IDH gliomas showed significantly higher accumulation of 2HG (median 5.077 vs. 0.000, p =0.0002, Mann-Whitney test). 2HG was detectable in all mutant IDH gliomas, whereas in 10 out of 27 (37.0%) wild-type IDH gliomas, 2HG was below the detectable range (2HG =0) (p =0.0003, chi-squared test). Screening for IDH mutation by 2HG analysis was highly sensitive (cutoff 2HG =1.489 mM, sensitivity 100.0%, specificity 72.2%). Gliomas with high 2HG accumulation had better overall survival than gliomas with low 2HG accumulation (p =0.0401, Kaplan-Meier analysis). DISCUSSION: 2HG accumulation detected by 3.0-tesla MRS not only correlates well with IDH status, but also positively correlates with survival in WHO grade II and III gliomas.

Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare diffuse glioma that is neither mass-forming nor necrotic, and does not disrupt existing structures. Gliomatosis occurring in the cerebellum is known as gliomatosis cerebelli, and only three such cases examined by biopsy have been reported. Here we describe the first autopsy findings of a patient who was diagnosed as having gliomatosis in the cerebellum. Neuropathological examination identified the tumor cells as being positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin and nestin, with atypical nuclei that were cashew-nut- or dishcloth-gourd-shaped. These tumor cells were dense in the right cerebellum, but also spread broadly throughout the brain including the left cerebrum and optic nerve. Mitotic figures were frequently seen in the cerebellum, brain stem and cerebrum. Scherer's secondary structures were evident not only in the cerebellum but also the cerebrum. No necrosis, microvascular proliferation or destruction of anatomical structures was detected in the whole brain. Differences in the origin of the tumors of the gliomatoses cerbri and cerebelli suggests these tumors are different types of brain tumors. Thus the findings support that the gliomatosis cerebelli is a novel type of brain tumor classification. Furthermore, by the similarities of the histological features among the tumors, it appears appropriate to establish a novel category of "gliomatosis encephali" which includes both gliomatosis cerebri and gliomatosis cerebelli.

Medulloblastoma (MB) is a malignant cerebellar tumor arising in children, and its ontogenesis is regulated by Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling. No data are available regarding the correlation between expression of Gli3, a protein lying downstream of Shh, and neuronal differentiation of MB cells, or the prognostic significance of these features. We re-evaluated the histopathological features of surgical specimens of MB taken from 32 patients, and defined 15 of them as MB with neuronal differentiation (ND), three as MB with both glial and neuronal differentiation (GD), and 14 as differentiation-free (DF) MB. Gli3-immunoreactivity (IR) was evident as a clear circular stain outlining the nuclei of the tumor cells. The difference in the frequency of IR between the ND+GD (94.4%) and DF (0%) groups was significant (P < 0.001). The tumor cells with ND showed IR for both Gli3 and neuronal nuclei. Ultrastructurally, Gli3-IR was observed at the nuclear membrane. The overall survival and event-free survival rates of the patients in the ND group were significantly higher than those in the other groups. The expression profile of Gli3 is of considerable significance, and the association of ND with this feature may be prognostically favorable in patients with MB.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) arising from cranial nerves are rare and usually affect adults. Here we report the clinicopathologic features of a young adult patient with a trigeminal nerve MPNST, in whom another tumor involving the oculomotor nerve on the contralateral side was evident. The patient, an 18-year-old woman, had suffered recurrent paroxysmal sharp stabbing pain over her cheek and forehead on the right side for 1 month. A brain MRI study disclosed a mass, 35 mm in diameter, in the right Meckel's cave, and another mass, 10 mm in diameter, involving the intracranial portion of the left oculomotor nerve. Following gadolinium administration, the former and latter tumors exhibited strong and weak enhancement, respectively. The patient had no clinical stigmata characteristic of neurofibromatosis type 1. Following a tentative diagnosis of schwannoma, total resection of the trigeminal nerve tumor was performed. Histologically, the tumor consisted of highly cellular, spindle-shaped cells arranged in a fascicular pattern, with occasional mitotic figures, nuclear pleomorphism and necrosis. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed variable intensities and frequencies of reactivity for S-100 protein, myelin basic protein, CD34, podoplanin and p53, but no reactivity for Smarcb1. Thus, the tumor exhibited features of MPNST. This case appears to provide information that is useful for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning in patients with bilateral or multiple cranial nerve tumors.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) expressing T-cell markers is rare, among which nasal-type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is an extremely rare subtype associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Here we report the clinicopathologic features of a case of EBV-associated PCNSL showing a cytotoxic T-cell phenotype. The patient, a 73-year-old woman, presented with rapidly progressive mental deterioration. Brain MRI revealed multiple lesions with swelling in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres, which were hypointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images, and slightly hyperintense on diffusion-weighted images. Biopsy specimens from the temporal region showed many medium-sized anaplastic lymphocytic cells with perivascular and angio-invasive patterns in the cortex. Immunohistochemically, the cells were positive for CD3, CD8, T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1 (TIA-1), granzyme B and perforin, but negative for CD56 and CD20. In situ hybridization revealed EBV-encoded RNAs in the tumor cell nuclei. A rearrangement study showed T-cell receptor γ-chain gene rearrangement with a clonal appearance. The patient died 6 months after surgery, and a general autopsy revealed no lymphoma cells outside the brain. These cellular profiles are inconsistent with those of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, and have not been previously described. This case appears to represent an unusual CNS manifestation of EBV-associated T-cell lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether motor evoked potentials(MEPs)provide reliable monitoring of the motor system during resection of gliomas in or adjacent to the motor cortex or pyramidal tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MEP recording was performed during 64 operations in 55 patients harboring gliomas. Intraoperative MEP findings were classified into 3 groups:Group A was defined as having no significant MEP changes, Group B as having reversible MEP changes(?50% amplitude decrease or loss), and Group C as having irreversible changes. Postoperative motor function was evaluated according to the presence/absence of deterioration immediately after surgery and 1 month later, as compared to preoperative motor status RESULTS: Immediately after surgery, 13 of 39(33%)patients in Group A, 6 of 17(35%)in Group B, and 7 of 8(88%)in Group C experienced deterioration of motor function. One month after surgery, 4 of 39(10%)patients in Group A, 3 of 17(18%)in Group B, and 4 of 8(50%)showed deterioration of motor function. Both immediately(χ2=8.3, p<0.05)and 1 month(χ2=6.9, p<0.05)after surgery, MEP alterations correlated significantly with postoperative deterioration of motor function. Despite MEPs being stable throughout surgery(Group A), there were some patients with deterioration of motor function initially appearing to represent false negative monitoring. However, these deteriorations were confirmed to have been caused by secondary hemorrhage, venous return dysfunction, postoperative convulsion, or resection of the supplementary motor area. CONCLUSIONS: MEP monitoring provides reliable information on the motor system during glioma surgery. Although false negative MEP results may exist in some patients, most data were not influenced by intraoperative manipulation but rather were attributable to secondary postoperative events.

The authors report a rare case involving the occurrence of metachronous pure germinomas long after treatment of a mixed germ cell tumor (GCT) categorized as having a poor prognosis. A neurohypophysial germinoma occurred 4 years and 6 months after the initial treatment of a mixed pineal GCT containing a yolk sac tumor and a germinoma. Furthermore, intramedullary germinomas occurred 21 years after the initial treatment of the mixed GCT and 15 years after the second treatment of the neurohypophysial germinoma. The neurohypophysial germinoma was not confirmed histopathologically, but the intramedullary germinoma was histopathologically diagnosed as a pure germinoma. Serum α-fetoprotein levels at the second neurohypophysial and third intramedullary occurrences of the germinomas were less than 10 ng/ml. Therefore, no yolk sac components seemed to be contained in the tumors. The second neurohypophysial and third intramedullary germinomas might be recurrences of the germinoma component of the pineal mixed GCT, which consisted of a yolk sac tumor and a germinoma. However, it seems very unlikely that only the germinoma, categorized in the good prognosis group, would be the only one to recur. Hence, it seems plausible that both the second and the third occurrences of pure germinoma were de novo metachronous GCTs arising after the pineal mixed GCT was cured. The authors' case indicates the possibility of multicentric GCTs in the CNS.

The efficacy and toxicity of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). All immunocompetent patients with histologically or radiographically diagnosed PCNSL treated between 2006 and 2012 at Niigata University Hospital were enrolled. Thirty-eight patients with a diagnosis of PCNSL were treated with one of two regimens during different time periods. During the first period, from 2006 to 2009, three 3-week cycles of MPV (MTX + procarbazine + vincristine) were administered (MPV3 group). In the second period, from 2010 to 2012, five 2-week cycles of MTX were administered (MTX5 group). High-dose cytarabine was used in both groups following HD-MTX-based chemotherapy. Whole-brain radiotherapy was used for patients who did not attain a complete response (CR) based on magnetic resonance images. In the MPV3 group, 20 out of 23 patients (87%) completed the planned treatment. The CR rate after chemotherapy was 30%, and 57% after radiation therapy. Thirteen out of 15 patients (87%) in the MTX5 group completed the planned treatment. The CR rates after chemotherapy and radiation therapy were 53% and 93%, respectively. Renal dysfunction was assessed by measuring creatinine clearance rates, which were very similar in both groups. In terms of hematologic toxicity and other adverse reactions, there was no significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, dose-dense MTX chemotherapy improved outcome with acceptable toxicity compared with the treatment schedule for three cycles of MPV treatment.
