Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor in adults and is known to be particularly aggressive and resistant to anti-cancer therapies, mainly due to the presence of GBM stem cells (GBMSC). By in vitro approaches supported by analysis from patients’ databases, we determined how α6-integrin and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) work in concert to regulate proliferation and stemness of GBMSC. We showed that α6-integrin regulates the expression of FGFR1 and its target gene Fokhead Box M1 (FOXM1) via the ZEB1/YAP1 transcription complex. These results were in accordance with the positive correlation observed in GBM between α6-integrin expression and its target genes ZEB1/YAP1, FGFR1, and FOXM1 in the databases, TCGA and Rembrandt. In addition, the clinical data demonstrate that GBM patients with high levels of the five genes signature, including α6-integrin, ZEB1/YAP1, FGFR1 and FOXM1, have a significantly shorter overall survival. In vitro, we observed a similar decrease in the expression of stemness-related factors, neurospheres forming capacity, as well as spheroids growth when α6-integrin or FGFR1 was blocked individually with specific siRNA, whereas the combination of both siRNA led to a significantly higher inhibition of spheres formation. These data suggest that co-administration of anti-FGFR1 and anti-α6-integrin could provide an improved therapeutic response in GBMSC.
