Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a grade 4 astrocytoma tumor in central nervous system. Astrocytes can be isolated from human GBM. Study of astrocytes can provide insights about the formation, progression and recurrence of glioblastoma. For using isolated astrocytes, new studies can be designed in the fields of pharmacology, neuroscience and neurosurgery for glioblastoma treatment. This protocol describes the details for preparing high purity primary astrocytes from human GBM. Tumor tissue is disrupted using mechanical dissociation and chemical digestion in this protocol. 2 weeks after plating the cell suspension in culture, primary astrocytes are available for further subculturing and immunocytochemistry of S100-beta antigen.
Keywords: Glioblastoma multiforme (多形性胶质母细胞瘤)Background
Astrocytes are glial cells that provide structural and nutritional support for brain neurons. The cell cycle of astrocytes seems to be disrupted in astrocytoma brain tumors. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified astrocytomas into four grades according to their malignancy. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, grade IV) is the most malignant form of astrocytoma. Glioblastoma is characterized by the invasive cells with the rapid proliferation rate and angiogenesis. Prognosis is poor for patients with glioblastoma. Current therapeutic approaches including surgery, chemo-therapy and radiation don’t have good effects on the treatment of suffering patients. Median survival time for patients is about one year after treatment (Stuup et al., 2005; Wen and Kesari, 2008). So many researchers focus on the study of evaluating the physiological function and apoptosis of glioblastoma cells in order to detect more effective treatment methods. Here we present a method for isolation of high purity primary astrocyte from human glioblastoma specimen without fibroblast contamination (Hashemi et al., 2016).
