Abstract BACKGROUND Gliomas with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in adults evolve from lower-grade gliomas to secondary glioblastomas (GBM), a fatal disease with fast progression. IDH mutation occurs early in tumorigenesis, and persistently contribute to the reprograming of glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism. This offer a plethora of potential biomarkers of progression. However, because it is extremely difficult to detect the distribution and transfer of metabolites changing in every moment in a single cell, the involvement of metabolites produced by mutant IDH in malignant progression remains understudied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Raman imaging spectroscopy, which can image chemical bonds and concentration of molecules at submicron spatial resolution, enables detection of spatiotemporal changes of metabolomes in live cells. We developed the software called Biomolecular Component Analysis (BCAbox) to deconvolute the recorded raw Raman spectra, leading to detection of unique spectral features of different classes of biomolecules. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We applied Raman imaging spectroscopy to GBM cell lines that were transfected with IDH1 mutant gene. Our results indicated that lipid metabolism has a unique profile in IDH1 mutant gliomas. Subsequent mass spectrometry analysis of extracted organelle revealed the exact classes of lipids altered in the IDH mutant glioma and suggested biomarkers unique to IDH1 mutant. We will report our validation studies of the biomarkers in patient-derived IDH mutant glioma cell lines and patients derived-orthotopic xenograft mouse models with different degrees of aggressiveness and in matched primary versus recurrent gliomas. The results of the present study may provide novel insights into the discovery of metabolic biomarkers for the malignant progression in IDH mutant gliomas.

Recent advances in the field of programmable DNA-binding proteins have led to the development of facile methods for genomic localization of genetically encodable entities. Despite the extensive utility of these tools, locus-specific delivery of synthetic molecules remains limited by a lack of adequate technologies. Here we combine the flexibility of chemical synthesis with the specificity of a programmable DNA-binding protein by using protein trans-splicing to ligate synthetic elements to a nuclease-deficient Cas9 (dCas9) in vitro and subsequently deliver the dCas9 cargo to live cells. The versatility of this technology is demonstrated by delivering dCas9 fusions that include either the small-molecule bromodomain and extra-terminal family bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 or a peptide-based PRC1 chromodomain ligand, which are capable of recruiting endogenous copies of their cognate binding partners to targeted genomic binding sites. We expect that this technology will allow for the genomic localization of a wide array of small molecules and modified proteinaceous materials.
