Abstract
Background: Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as adjunct for high-grade gliomas (HGGs) has been on the rise in recent years. Despite being largely effective, we observed multiple histologically similar sub-regions of the same tumor from a few individuals with varying protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) levels. The current study aims at understanding the proteomic changes driving differential metabolism of 5-ALA in HGGs. Methods: Biopsies were histologically and biochemically assayed. Following this, a deep proteomics investigation was carried out using high resolution liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (HR LC-MS) to identify protein expression in differentially fluorescing regions of HGGs. Results: Our analysis identified 5437 proteins with high confidence. Differential analysis in the subgroup with HGGs carrying IDH mutation (IDH mt.) revealed 93 differentially regulated proteins (raw p-value ≤ 0.05 and absolute FC ≥ 1.5). Similar analysis in the IDH wild type (IDH wt.) subgroup revealed 20 differentially regulated proteins. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified key pathways like ion channel transport, trafficking of AMPA receptors, and regulation of heme-oxygenase-1 in the IDH wt. subgroup. Pathways such as scavenging of heme, signaling by NOTCH4, negative regulation of PI3-AKT pathway, and iron uptake and transport were observed to be differentially regulated in the IDH mt. subgroup. Conclusions: Tumor regions from the same patient exhibiting differential fluorescence following 5-ALA administration were observed to have different proteome profiles. Future studies aimed at a better molecular understanding of 5-ALA metabolism in HGGs hold the potential to increase the efficacy of FGS and the use of 5-ALA as a theragnostic tool.
