Article Title: Human RAP2A Homolog of the Drosophila Asymmetric Cell Division Regulator Rap2l Targets the Stemness of Glioblastoma Stem Cells
Journal: bioRxiv
doi: 10.1101/2025.01.28.635292
Figure Legend Snippet: ( A, B) Analysis of GBM patient versus control samples focused on the level of expression of human homologs of Drosophila ACD regulators by Hierarchical clustering ( A ) and the Gene Distance Matrix ( B ). Color-coded scale bar indicates fold level of expression. (C) Kaplan-Meier survival curves corresponding to patients in the TCGA (IDHwt) and Gravendeel (IDHwt) cohort in GBM datasets. Low RAP2A expression levels in human GBM are associated with a poor prognosis.
Techniques Used: Control, Expressing
Figure Legend Snippet: (A) Different GBM cell lines show similar RAP2A mRNA levels and significantly lower levels than in control Astros. (B) RAP2A mRNA levels are significantly higher in the GB5 line after infecting this line with RAP2A (GB5-RAP2A). Data shown in the scaled bar graphs in A and B was analyzed with an ANOVA and a T-test, respectively; error bars show the SD; n= 2 (in A) and 3 (in B) different experiments. (C) Immunofluorescences of the GSC stem cell markers CD133, SOX2 and Nestin reveal a significant reduction in the protein intensity in the GB5 RAP2A-expressing neurospheres (GB5-RAP2A) compared to the control neurospheres (GB5). Data shown in the box plots was analyzed with a U Mann-Whitney for CD133 and Nestin and with a T-test for Sox; the central lines represent the median and the box limits the lower and upper quartiles, as determined by R software; crosses represent sample means; error bars indicate the SEM; n= number of sample points; p values: * p <0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.001, ns, not significant; scale bar: 10 μm.
Techniques Used: Control, Expressing, MANN-WHITNEY, Software
Figure Legend Snippet: RT-PCRs and Westerns blots show a significant decrease in the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively, of the GSC markers CD133, SOX2 and Nestin in the GB5 RAP2A-expressing neurospheres (GB5-RAP2A) compared to the control neurospheres (GB5). Data shown in the scaled bar graphs was analyzed with an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test; error bars show the SD; n= 3 different experiments; p values: * p <0.05, ** p <0.01.
Techniques Used: Expressing, Control, Two Tailed Test
Figure Legend Snippet: (A) GB5 neurospheres expressing RAP2A (GB5-RAP2A) show a significantly lower number of Ki67 expressing cells per neurosphere than control GB5 neurospheres. Data shown in the box plots was analyzed with a T-test; the central lines represent the median and the box limits the lower and upper quartiles, as determined by R software; crosses represent sample means; error bars indicate the SEM; n= number of sample points. (B) GB5 neurospheres expressing RAP2A (GB5-RAP2A) show a significant decrease in their size compared to control GB5 neurospheres of the same stage. Data shown in the scaled bar graphs was analyzed with an unpaired two-tailed Student’s T- test; error bars show the SD; n= total number of neurospheres of 3 different experiments; p values: * p <0.05; scale bars: 10 μm (in A) and 100μm (in B).
Techniques Used: Expressing, Control, Software, Two Tailed Test
Figure Legend Snippet: (A) Early stage GB5 neurospheres expressing RAP2A (GB5-RAP2A) show an odd number of cells significantly more frequently than control GB5 neurospheres, which show more frequently an even number of cells. (B) GB5-RAP2A dividing cells show a significant increase in the number of asymmetric NUMB localization in the progeny, compared to control GB5 dividing cells. Data shown in the bar graphs was analyzed with a Chi-Square test with Yates correction; n= number of neurosphere cell clusters analyzed. p values: ** p <0.01; scale bar: 20 μm.
