- Abstract
Peritumoral cysts are commonly detected in the central nervous system tumors, especially hemangioblastomas (HBs). However, the molecular mechanisms driving their formation and propagation are still unknown. We conducted an integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics analysis on solid and cystic HB samples in order to elucidate the changes in the lipid profile and expression of lipid metabolism-related genes during cyst formation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differential expression of several genes between the solid and cystic HBs, and those associated with lipid metabolism, such as ADCY4, MGLL, ACOT2, DGKG, SHC1 and LPAR2, were markedly dysregulated in the cystic HBs. The lipidomic analysis further showed a significant reduction in the abundance of triacylglycerol, ceramide, lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and an increase in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine levels in the cystic HBs. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed altered lipid biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism and phospholipase activity in the cystic HBs. Taken together, our findings indicate that cyst formation in HBs is related with aberrant lipid metabolism.
