Abstract

Mutation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene is regarded a novel indicator for the prognosis of patients with glioma. However, the role of the IDH1 gene mutations in carcinogenesis and the mechanisms underlying their function in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remain unknown. The present study aimed to determine whether the association of RLIP76 with the different IDH1 mutational status could serve as a putative biomarker for improving disease prognosis. Quantitative PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemical staining assays were used to investigate the expression levels of RLIP76 in 124 patients with GBM with different IDH1 mutational status. In addition, the association between RLIP76 expression, IDH1 mutational status and clinicopathological characteristics was investigated. The effects of RLIP76 expression and IDH1 mutational status on cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and cell signaling were examined by Cell Counting Kit‑8, flow cytometry and western blot assays, respectively. The data demonstrated that IDH1 wild‑type (IDH1Wt) patients with low RLIP76 expression exhibited improved overall and progression‑free survival. This effect was not observed in patients with IDH1 mutant (IDH1Mut) GBM. In vitro assays demonstrated that knockdown of IDH1 or overexpression of the IDH1 R132H mutation suppressed cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in U87 glioma cells. Mechanistic studies further indicated that although the IDH1 R132H mutant phenotype exhibited similar antitumor effects on GBM cells as those observed with the IDH1 knockdown, it acted via a different mechanism with regard to the regulation of the apoptosis signaling pathway. IDH1 R132H mutant cells promoted p53‑induced apoptosis, while the IDH1 knockdown inhibited the RLIP76‑dependent apoptotic pathway in glioma cells. The findings of the present study provided insight to the contribution of IDH1 mutation in the development of GBM and indicated that RLIP76 may be considered as a prognostic biomarker of IDH1Wt GBM.
