Abstract

In glioblastoma (GBM), the interplay of different immune cell subtypes, cytokines, and/or drugs shows high context-dependencies. Interrelations between the routinely applied dexamethasone (Dex) and microglia remain elusive. Here, we exploited rat organotypic brain slice co-cultures (OBSC) to examine the effects on a rat GBM cell line (S635) outgrowth resulting from the presence of Dex and pretreatment with the colony-stimulating factor receptor 1 (CSF1-R) inhibitor PLX5622: in native OBSC (without PLX5622-pretreatment), a diminished S635 spheroid outgrowth was observable, whereas Dex-treatment enhanced outgrowth in this condition compared to PLX5622-pretreated OBSC. Screening the supernatants of our model with a proteome profiler, we found that CXCL2 was differentially secreted in a Dex- and PLX5622-dependent fashion. To analyze causal interrelations, we interrupted the CXCL2/CXCR2-axis: in the native OBSC condition, CXCR2-blocking resulted in increased outgrowth, in combination with Dex, we found potentiated outgrowth. No effect was found in the PLX5622-pretreated. Our method allowed us to study the influence of three different factors-dexamethasone, PLX5622, and CXCL2-in a well-controlled, simplified, and straight-forward mechanistic manner, and at the same time in a more realistic ex vivo scenario compared to in vitro studies. In our model, we showed a GBM outgrowth enhancing synergism between CXCR2-blocking and Dex-treatment in the native condition, which was levelled by PLX5622-pretreatment.
