abstract = {Therapeutic intervention in metastatic medulloblastoma is
dependent on elucidating the underlying metastatic
mechanism. We investigated whether an epithelial-mesenchymal
transition (EMT)-like pathway could drive medulloblastoma
metastasis.A 3D Basement Membrane Extract (3D-BME) model was
used to investigate medulloblastoma cell migration. Cell
line growth was quantified with AlamarBlue metabolic assays
and the morphology assessed by time-lapse imaging. Gene
expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR and protein expression by
immunohistochemistry of patient tissue microarrays and mouse
orthotopic xenografts. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was
used to determine whether the EMT transcription factor
TWIST1 bound to the promoter of the multidrug pump ABCB1.
TWIST1 was overexpressed in MED6 cells by lentiviral
transduction (MED6-TWIST1). Inhibition of ABCB1 was mediated
by vardenafil, and TWIST1 expression was reduced by either
Harmine or shRNA.Metastatic cells migrated to form large
metabolically active aggregates, whereas
non-tumorigenic/non-metastatic cells formed small aggregates
with decreasing metabolic activity. TWIST1 expression was
upregulated in the 3D-BME model. TWIST1 and ABCB1 were
significantly associated with metastasis in patients (P =
.041 and P = .04, respectively). High nuclear TWIST1
expression was observed in the invasive edge of the MED1
orthotopic model, and TWIST1 knockdown in cell lines was
associated with reduced cell migration (P < .05). TWIST1
bound to the ABCB1 promoter (P = .03) and induced cell
aggregation in metastatic and TWIST1-overexpressing,
non-metastatic (MED6-TWIST1) cells, which was significantly
attenuated by vardenafil (P < .05).In this study, we
identified a TWIST1-ABCB1 signaling axis during
medulloblastoma migration, which can be therapeutically
targeted with the clinically approved ABCB1 inhibitor,
vardenafil.},
