摘要
Gliomas are the most common parenchymal tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). With regard to their still unclear etiology, several recent studies have provided evidence of a new category of pathogenic elements called human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) which seem to contribute to the evolution and progression of many neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), schizophrenia, chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy (CIDP) and, particularly, multiple sclerosis (MS). In these diseases, HERVs exert effects on cellular processes such as inflammation, proliferation, and migration. In previous studies, we demonstrated that in MS, the human endogenous retrovirus type-W envelope protein (HERV-W ENV) interferes with lesion repair through the activation of microglia (MG), the innate myeloid immune cells of the CNS. Here, we now show that HERV-W ENV is also present in the microglial cells (MG) of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in gliomas. It modulates the behavior of glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines in GBM/MG cocultures by altering their gene expression, secreted cytokines, morphology, proliferation, and migration properties and could thereby contribute to key tumor properties.
