الوصف: Background: Some glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are characterized by the presence of gemistocytes (GCs), a unique phenotype of reactive astrocytes. Certain GCs can be identified as neoplastic cells but these cells were also found to be associated with diabetes in non-neoplastic lesions of the central nervous system. Our aim was to find a correlation between insulin - resistance metabolic features and the presence of GCs in patients with newly diagnosed GBM. Methods: Medical records from histologically confirmed GBM patients were retrospectively extracted for different systemic metabolic variables. A statistic-based comparison was made between GBM, diabetic patients with and without GC. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes (ie, hemoglobin A1C ⩾ 8.0) were also compared between the 2 groups. Results: A total of 220 newly diagnosed GBM patients were included in our study. 58 (26.3%) patients had a history of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) at the time of admission. The rate of poorly-controlled DM2 was nearly as twice in the GC-GBM group than in the non-GC GBM group (18.75% vs 9.5%; P = .130). In the DM2 cohort, the subgroup of GC-GBM was significantly associated with demographic and metabolic features related to insulin resistance such as male gender predominance (89% vs 50%, P = .073) and morbid obesity (weight ⩾85 kg: OR 6.16; P = .0019 and mean BMI: 34.1 ± 11.42 vs 28.7 ± 5.44; P = .034 for group with and without GCs, respectively). In the poorly-controlled DM2 group, none of the GC-GBM patients were using insulin prior to diagnosis, compared to 61.1% in the non-GC GBM patients (OR = 0.04, P = .045). Conclusion: Systemic metabolic factors related to marked insulin resistance (DM2, morbid obesity, male gender) are associated with a unique histologic phenotype of GBM, characterized by the presence of GCs. This feature is prominent in poorly-controlled DM2 GBM patients who are not using synthetic insulin. This novel finding may add to the growing data on the relevance of glucose metabolism in astrocytes and in ...
