ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the core genes of craniopharyngioma angiogenesis for targeted vascular therapy based on single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing. For single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing, we collected six samples from the tumor center and adjacent hypothalamic tumor tissues from three patients with craniopharyngioma, as well as four normal brain tissues based on Gene Expression Omnibus. We screened genes with differential up-regulation between vascular endothelial cells of craniopharyngioma and those of normal brain tissues, performed GO and KEGG analysis, constructed the protein-protein interaction network, and selected key genes verified using immunofluorescence. After data cleaning and quality control, 623 craniopharyngioma endothelial cells and 439 healthy brain endothelial cells were obtained. Compared with normal brain endothelial cells, craniopharyngioma endothelial cells were screened for 394 differentially up-expressed genes (DEGs). GO and KEGG results showed that DEGs probably modulated endothelial cells, adherens junction, focal adhesion, migration, actin cytoskeleton, and invasion via the PI3K-AKT, Rap1, Ras, Wnt, and Hippo pathways. The core genes screened were CTNNB1, PTK2, ITGB1, STAT3, FYN, HIF1A, VCL, SMAD3, PECAM1, FOS, and CDH5. This study obtained possible anti-angiogenic genes in craniopharyngioma. Our results shed novel insights into molecular mechanisms and craniopharyngioma treatment.
