GSE119740 miRNA expression profile of Idh1 wild-type and mutant glioma initiating cells

Mutant IDH1 causes the production and accumulation of the metabolite 2 hydroxyglutarate, which induces genome-wide hypermethylation, and is thought to be a driver mutation of these tumours. However, there are multiple contradictory effects of mutant IDH1 in cell lines and in vivo models, prompting us to study the effect of mutant IDH1 on cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Here we established mouse glioma initiating cells (GIC) by inactivating the tumour suppressor genes Pten and p53 in the neural stem/progenitor cell population of the forebrain, and compared these GIC with triple mutant tumours expressing in addition the Idh1 R132H mutation. We found that Idh1 mutant cells proliferate less in vitro and mice with Idh1 mutant tumour survived significantly longer than their Idh1 wild type counterparts. By comparing the miRNA expression profiles of Idh wild-type and Idh mutant cells and tumours we identified miR-183-5p as a differentially expressed miRNA.
