Abstract
In 2021, the World Health Organization classified isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas as a distinct subgroup of tumors with genetic changes sufficient to enable a complete diagnosis. Patients with an IDH mutant glioma have improved survival which has been further enhanced by the advent of targeted therapies. IDH enzymes contribute to cellular metabolism, and mutations to specific catalytic residues result in the neomorphic production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG). The accumulation of D-2-HG results in epigenetic alterations, oncogenesis and impacts the tumor microenvironment via immunological modulations. Here, we summarize the molecular, cellular, and clinical implications of IDH mutations in gliomas as well as current diagnostic techniques.

Introduction

Gliomas are brain tumors associated with high mortality and life altering symptoms including seizures, cognitive/motor deficits, dysphagia, and aphasia [1]. Current treatment methods for glioma include surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy with the use of temozolomide (TMZ). Despite these approaches, the long-term survival of patients remains poor. Approximately 30% of primary brain tumors are gliomas, which are believed to arise from neuroglial stem or progenitor cells [2]. Gliomas may be categorized as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, oligo-astrocytoma, or ependymomas depending upon the cell type(s) from which they originate (Figure 1). When classifying these tumors, World Health Organization Central Nervous System 5 (WHO CNS5) grades ranging from I to IV are traditionally used, with grade I tumors being the least malignant [3]. To determine tumor grade, characteristics such as invasiveness, rate of growth, and degree of necrosis within the tumor are utilized. Gliomas may be diffuse in nature, which causes difficulty in both visualization via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and determination of margins during surgery, further complicating the identification and removal of malignant tissue.
Molecular analysis of the tumor allows for further classification of gliomas into subgroups. Classification of tumors provides valuable insight toward prognosis, and in some cases, the possibility of treatment with targeted therapies. Molecular classification may be accomplished with techniques including DNA/RNA sequencing, PCR, and DNA methylome profiling [4,5,6]. Various biomarkers have been established through the molecular classification of tumors, an example of which is isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). IDH enzymes play essential roles in metabolic processes such as the citric acid cycle, lipogenesis, glutamine metabolism, and redox regulation [7]. Oncogenic mutations to IDH1 were identified in 2008 following an integrated genomic analysis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) [8], and have since been targeted with pharmaceutical inhibitors [9,10]. The prognosis and treatment for IDH mutant gliomas differs from their IDH wildtype counterparts significantly, such that screening for them has become an important standard of care. Mutations to IDH have been documented in various types of cancer [11,12,13] but are more prevalent in glioma and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) [14,15]. In general, IDH mutations are associated with less aggressive cancer, as they render cells more vulnerable to death [16] and demonstrate conservative levels of migration, angiogenesis, and invasion [17]. In this review, we describe the molecular, cellular, and clinical consequences of IDH mutations in glioma as well as the current diagnostic methods and treatments.

Normal Function of IDH & the Cancer-Associated Accumulation of D-2-HG

IDH1/2 are the most frequently mutated cancer-associated metabolic genes. IDH exists in three isoforms: IDH1, IDH2, and IDH3. IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes function as homodimers and share approximately 70% sequence homology [18]. Conversely, IDH3 is a more distantly related heterotetrameric protein that is not known to be associated with the development of cancer [19]. IDH1 is expressed in the cytosol and peroxisomes and produces NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis, with oncogenic mutations commonly associated with glioma. Alternatively, IDH2 localizes within the mitochondrial matrix, with mutations often driving AML, or less commonly, glioma [20]. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are mutually exclusive, with rare exceptions [21], due to a common biochemical mechanism [22] that drives similar downstream effects. Ordinarily, IDH1/2 catalyze the conversion of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate (αKG) while reducing NADP+ to NADPH as a byproduct. Missense mutations yield amino acid changes at positions R132 in IDH1 and R140 or R172 in IDH2. These mutations result in the replacement of conserved arginine residues in the catalytic site with an alternative amino acid. The consequence of these mutations is an altered protein with neomorphic activity- the conversion of αKG to D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) [14,23] (Figure 2). D-2-HG is an oncometabolite that accumulates in primary IDH mutant tumors at concentrations ranging from 1 to 30 mM [14,23]. D-2-HG causes a plethora of downstream effects that mediate the development of cancer, as detailed below.

Epigenetic Alterations

Epigenetic alterations are a hallmark of IDH mutant-mediated oncogenesis and are largely driven by the production of D-2-HG. Due to its structural similarity to αKG and accumulation within IDH mutant cells, D-2-HG competitively inhibits various αKG-dependent dioxygenases. These dioxygenases include the Jumonji-C (JmjC) family of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs), ten-eleven translocation (TET) DNA cytosine-oxidizing enzymes, AlkB homologs (ABH), and prolyl hydroxylases (PHD) [24] (Figure 3). αKG-dependent dioxygenases play critical roles in epigenetics [24], biosynthesis [25], post-translational modifications [26], and hypoxic response [27]. The collective antagonization of demethylases by D-2-HG leads to instability of RNA transcripts and characteristic patterns of hypermethylation of DNA and histone proteins [28]. Due to these epigenetic modifications, mutant IDH is highly associated with the Glioma CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP) [29], a locus-specific pattern of DNA hypermethylation at CpG-rich promoter regions.

JmjC-KDMs

JmjC-KDMs are enzymes that regulate gene expression through demethylation and chromatin scaffolding functions [30]. The JmjC protein family contains >30 members [31], several of which may actively contribute to the development of cancers including glioma [32], acute myeloid leukemia [33], and lung cancer [31] when dysregulated. Numerous silenced, mutated, or deleted JmjC-KDM genes have been identified in cancer [34] and appear to act as either a driver or suppressor of gene expression, depending upon cellular context. Since JmjC-KDMs aid in the control of genome-wide expression patterns, aberrant protein function may result in significant changes to the transcriptomic profile of the cell [35]. Potential targets of dysregulated JmjC-KDMs include pro-inflammatory pathways such as signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-dependent response or proliferation associated pathways such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) [31].
In some cases, D-2-HG mediated inhibition of JmjC-KDMs results in downstream effects which function in a manner similar to knockout models. This phenomenon has been demonstrated by several members of the JmjC-KDM5 family of H3K4 histone lysine demethylases (KDM5A, KDM5C, and KDM5D). The inhibition of these JmjC-KDM5 enzymes occurs at physiologically relevant concentrations of D-2-HG (less than 1 mM) and is thought to contribute to IDH mutant-mediated transformation [36]. Of all potential αKG analogs (for example, fumarate, L-2-HG, succinate), D-2-HG is the most potent inhibitor of KDM4A/B and KDM6A with IC50 values <200 µM. Collectively, KDMs inhibited by D-2-HG contribute to the regulation of diverse cellular processes to include differentiation [37], growth and development [37,38], adipogenesis [39], adhesion, and proliferation [33]. The competitive inhibition of several JmjC-KDMs by D-2-HG has been shown to increase dimethylation of H3K79, H3K27, and H3K9 as well as mono and trimethylation of H3K4 [40]. In combination with high levels of acetylation, H3K79 and H3K4 methylation are associated with active chromatin, with H3K79 found within the coding regions of genes and H3K4 often enriched at enhancers and promoters of actively transcribed genes. Conversely, H3K27 and H3K9 are associated with inactive chromatin [41]; Thus, the pleiotropic effects of D-2-HG accumulation impacts a variety of different biochemical pathways resulting in oncogenesis.
Although the epigenetic changes mediated by JmjC-KDMs in IDH mutant cancers are profound, they are also readily reversible by the addition of αKG. 300 µM αKG has been shown to negate the inhibition of KDM7A caused by up to 50 mM D-2-HG [40]. This reversibility demonstrates the relatively weak antagonism of JmjC-KDMs by D-2-HG despite occupying the same active site in the catalytic core. Regardless, IDH1-R132H mutations have shown a near 60% reduction of αKG and >20-fold increase in D-2-HG [40], suggesting that this competitive inhibition is due to metabolite quantity rather than changes to enzyme kinetics. Despite the inhibition of several JmjC-KDMs by D-2-HG, it is important to note that αKG-dependent dioxygenases vary greatly in their susceptibility to inhibition by D-2-HG, with some not significantly affected by relevant concentrations [34], such as KDM5B (IC50 3.6 mM) [42]. Recently, pharmaceutical inhibitors have been screened for their therapeutic potential toward inhibiting relevant JmjC-KDMs IDH mutant cancers, which we address later in this review.

Histone Deacetylases

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) possess chromatin remodeling activity and contribute to silencing genes in an epigenetic manner. HDACs hydrolyze acetate from lysine on histone tails [43], strengthening the interaction between histone proteins and DNA. HDACs are recruited to methylated DNA through their association with methyl-CpG binding proteins [44]. As hypermethylation is abundant in IDH mutant cancers, it is thought that HDACs play a role in transcriptomic alterations by compounding the effects of methylation to further condense chromatin near CpG islands. Expression profiles of IDH mutant glioma have demonstrated the upregulation of genes promoting HDAC function or related pathways in comparison to their IDH wildtype counterparts, including three of the six HDAC genes that are expressed in gliomas [45]. Additional studies have shown that overexpression of the IDH mutant enzyme results in histone hypoacetylation [46], further supporting the notion that HDACs play a role in IDH mutant oncogenesis. Several groups have presented HDAC inhibitors as a potential therapeutic for IDH mutant glioma, which we discuss later in this review.

TET Enzymes

TET enzymes are involved in various biological processes to include post-transcriptional regulation [47] and are essential for immune cell development [48] and embryogenesis [49]. TET enzymes generate oxidized derivatives of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in a Fe(II)/αKG-dependent manner. In these reactions, 5mC is sequentially oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine, then 5-carboxylcytosine. This oxidation typically occurs at CpG dinucleotide sites, where thymine DNA glycosylase excises 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine then base excision repair is utilized to yield unmethylated cytosine [47,50]. Rather than being inert intermediates, the oxidation products of 5mC play unique and distinct biological roles and may also actively contribute to cancer in some cases [51]. For example, Johnson et al. observed the enrichment of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in GBM at disease-specific enhancer elements to unexpectedly elicit open chromatin and increased gene expression [52]. To our knowledge, no data are currently available that explore the relationship between IDH mutant cancers and 5mC oxidation products.
The dysregulation of TET enzymes contributes to development of the G-CIMP through an increase in methylation [53] and subsequently alters the transcriptomic profile of IDH mutant cancers. Similar to JmjC-KDMs, TET enzymes are often mutated in various types of cancer such as AML and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms [54,55]. TET and IDH driver mutations are mutually exclusive [56], suggesting that the inhibition of TET enzymes contributes significantly to mutant IDH mediated oncogenesis [46]. While TET or IDH mutations routinely occur in leukemia [47,57], TET mediated oncogenesis is not typically thought to contribute to the development of glioma. TET enzymes are susceptible to competitive inhibition by the accumulation of D-2-HG, fumarate or succinate that result from oncogenic mutations to IDH, fumarase hydratase or succinate dehydrogenase, respectively [58]; however, L-2-HG, a naturally occurring enantiomer of D-2-HG that is upregulated under hypoxic conditions [59], does not appear to interfere with TET activity intracellularly. To this end, the use of cell-permeable L-2-HG to quantify TET enzymatic inhibition demonstrates that treatment with up to 3 mM of L-2-HG elicits little to no inhibition of TET2 or TET3 in situ [60].
Despite the oncogenic consequences of TET dysregulation, not all members of the TET family are prone to inhibition by clinically relevant concentrations of D-2-HG. For example, TET2 has demonstrated inhibition at low levels of D-2-HG in vitro (IC50= ~15 µM) while TET1 (IC50= ~800 µM) and TET3 (IC50= ~100 µM) are less susceptible. Although TET2 is the most prone to competitive inhibition by D-2-HG, TET1 and TET3 are highly expressed in specific areas of the brain including the cerebellum and cerebral cortex, respectively, while the expression of TET2 in the brain is somewhat modest [47]. Another potential variable regarding the inhibition of TET enzymes in IDH mutant cancers is the availability of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Ascorbic acid modulates TET enzymes via a direct interaction with their catalytic domain [61] and reduces Fe(III) to Fe(II), an essential cofactor of TET. Indeed, co-administration of pharmaceutical mutant IDH inhibitors and ascorbic acid has been shown to restore TET activity in IDH1-R132H colorectal cancer cell lines [62]. Additional studies have demonstrated that supplementation with an oxidatively stable form of vitamin C (Ascorbate-2-phosphate) can restore 2-HG induced epigenetic remodeling [63]. Because IDH mutations alter NADP+/NADPH ratios and NADPH is a cofactor in recycling ascorbate, it is possible that vitamin C availability and D-2-HG accumulation have a combinatorial effect towards the dampened TET activity witnessed in IDH mutant cancers. To this end, an in vivo knock in model of IDH1-R132H has demonstrated altered NADP+/NADPH ratios with a coinciding decrease in ascorbate within the brain[64].

Prolyl Hydroxylases & Hypoxic Response

In addition to epigenetic modifications, αKG-dependent dioxygenases may also play key roles facilitating decisions regarding cell fate such as normal differentiation [65] and regulation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α) [66]. Due to the rapid proliferation of tumors, hypoxia is frequently observed in the microenvironment as existing blood supplies are outgrown. HIF-1α is a transcription factor that is upregulated in response to low oxygen, including under inflammatory conditions [67], to induce the expression of various genes essential for cell survival and adaptation to a hypoxic environment [68]. PHDs utilize αKG as a substrate to selectively hydroxylate targets and are susceptible to dysregulation by the accumulation of D-2-HG [69]. Under ordinary conditions, HIF-1α is constitutively expressed and rapidly degraded by PHDs. Low levels of oxygen inhibit PHDs, resulting in elevated expression of HIF-1α and subsequently the upregulation of hypoxia associated genes.
EglN prolyl-4-hydroxylases ordinarily mark HIF-1α for polyubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation [70]; however, literature disagrees on whether D-2-HG stimulates or inhibits these PHDs. Some studies suggest that D-2-HG acts as a co-substrate to PHDs resulting in the destabilization of HIF-1α and reduced expression of associated genes [71]. The knockdown of PHDs in IDH mutant astrocytes was also shown to result in a marked reduction in proliferation, suggesting a potential role for HIF-1α as a tumor suppressor [69]. As ascorbic acid availability is lowered by the altered NADP+/NADPH ratios in IDH mutant cancers [64], it should also be noted that ascorbate encourages hydroxylase activity to suppress the transcriptional response of HIF-1α [72,73]. To this end, a decrease in ascorbate availability could also contribute to a decrease in the expression of hypoxia associated pathways; however, this relationship has never been explored.
Contrary to findings that HIF-1α is downregulated in IDH mutant cancers, many others have shown that HIF-1α is upregulated in IDH mutant cells, cells treated with exogenous 2-HG, IDH mutant tumors, and brains of mouse embryos expressing IDH1-R132H [40,64,74,75]. The notion of an increase in HIF-1α resulting from metabolically driven oncogenesis such as IDH is supported by cancers driven by a similar mechanism. Oncogenic mutations to fumarase hydratase or succinate dehydrogenase result in the accumulation of fumarate or succinate, respectively, which act in a similar manner to D-2-HG by competitively inhibiting αKG-dependent dioxygenases. In these instances, fumarate or succinate have been shown to inhibit αKG-dependent PHDs that target HIF-1α for degradation [76,77], resulting in its subsequent accumulation.

RNA Transcript Stability

The methylation of adenosine at the nitrogen-6 positions of RNA (N6-Methyladenosine, m6A) serves as an essential posttranslational regulatory mark of mRNAs and noncoding RNAs. In addition to playing a role in most RNA-related processes such as splicing and nuclear export, m6A is also associated with biological processes including transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, DNA damage response [78], and cancer [79]. m6A is a frequent internal modification of mRNA which recruits m6A binding proteins such as YTHDF1/2/3, YTHDC2, or IGF2BP1/2/3 to regulate stability and/or translation efficiency [79]. m6A modifications are ordinarily facilitated by methyltransferases and removed by demethylases such as fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) or ALKBH5 which are Fe(II)/ αKG-dependent dioxygenases [80].
IDH wildtype cells treated with D-2-HG or IDH mutant cells producing D-2-HG exhibit an increase in m6A levels that can be reversed through treatment with IDH mutant pharmaceutical inhibitors such as Vorasidenib [81]. Since IDH mutant pharmaceutical inhibitors are known to deplete D-2-HG, these results support the role of the oncometabolite toward m6A accumulation. Moreover, D-2-HG has demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of FTO [81] that causes an increase in m6A levels [82,83,84]. The knockdown of endogenous FTO recapitulates the impacts of D-2-HG on cell viability, increases m6A levels [83], and promotes apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase [84]. Similarly, pharmacologic inhibition of FTO using FB23-2 or meclofenamic acid result in decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis. In addition to FTO, D-2-HG also inhibits ALKBH5; however, D-2-HG has a weaker binding affinity for ALKBH5 than FTO and the knockdown of ALKBH5 alone does not recapitulate the increase in m6A seen in FTO knockout lines or IDH mutant cells [81]. These results suggest that FTO inhibition is the primary mechanism of m6A accumulation in IDH mutant cells.
Increased levels of m6A result in lower stability of mRNA transcripts with a notable target of D-2-HG mediated transcript decay being the oncogene MYC [83]. Interestingly, ectopically expressing MYC rescues D-2-HG mediated growth inhibition [84]. Further studies have shown that m6A-mediated downregulation of activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) mRNA may also play an important role in regulating proliferation and apoptosis in IDH mutant glioma [81]. In addition to impacting proliferation, m6A levels modify the metabolic profile of cells, with the largest impacts being the downregulation of phosphofructokinase platelet (PFKP) and lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) [84].
While TET enzymes are largely known for facilitating the active demethylation of DNA, recent studies have also demonstrated that TET2 contains an RNA-binding domain [85] and can oxidize 5-methylcytosine RNA into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Since 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is associated with active translation of mRNA [86], aberrant post-translational mRNA modifications by TET2 reduce transcript stability which may increase susceptibility to certain diseases [87]. With these recent findings, further studies are necessary to determine the specific impact of TET-mediated mRNA alterations in IDH mutant glioma.

Patterns of Transcription

The many epigenetic alterations within the IDH mutant genome have various downstream implications for the transcriptome. Tran et al., assessed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and microarray data for 1032 gliomas from the cancer genome atlas and 395 gliomas from REMBRANDT and found four distinct transcriptomic profile groups. Interestingly, IDH mutant gliomas with codeletions were grouped with oligodendrogliomas with high tumor purity. Transcriptomic data for this group was enriched for neurotransmission, G-protein coupled receptor signaling, and insulin secretion pathways. Alternatively, IDH mutant gliomas without codeletions generally corresponded with astrocytoma and transcriptomic data enriched for immune, cell cycle, NOTCH signaling, transcription, and translation [88]. In a similar study, Cheng et al., utilized RNAseq data to establish a six-gene risk signature for IDH mutant low-grade glioma to assist in determining risk and prognosis. The six genes found to be highly significant for prognosis in IDH mutant patients included: cell division cycle (CDC) 20, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family (WASF)3, deleted in breast cancer (DBC)1, engrailed (EN)2, vimentin (VIM), and carboxypeptidase (CPE). Higher expression of CDC20, EN2, and VIM was found to be associated with risk while WASF3, DBC1, and CPE were considered protective genes with higher expression levels associated with better prognosis [89]. Another study focusing on transcriptomic profiles compared IDH mutant gliomas and IDH mutant AML, melanoma, and cholangiocarcinoma. Interestingly, these profiles showed pro-malignant genes unique to IDH mutant gliomas while genes associated with differentiation and immune response were suppressed in all IDH mutant cancers. Moreover, IDH mutant gliomas demonstrated a higher degree of genes that were both hypermethylated and differentially expressed in comparison to other types of IDH mutant cancers. Unruh et al. also noted variances in differential gene expression between IDH mutant oligodendrogliomas and astrocytoma, with oligodendrogliomas downregulating genes linked to angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and integrin binding [90]. Additionally, analysis of transcriptomic profiles of IDH mutant glioma patients revealed the decreased expression of HIF-1α targets as well as the inhibition of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Specifically, the expression of EGLN1 and EGLN3 PHDs, which serve to degrade HIF-1α was upregulated while pro-angiogenic targets such as vascular endothelial growth factor A, angiopoietin-2 and platelet-derived growth factor A was decreased [27].

Metabolic Reprogramming in IDH Mutant Glioma

Comparison of Wildtype and Mutant IDH Reactions

Wildtype IDH catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate into αKG and CO2. This reaction occurs concomitantly with the reduction of NADP+ into NADPH, with the exception of IDH3, which generates NADH within the citric acid cycle [91]. Under certain circumstances (e.g. hypoxia), IDH can catalyze the reverse reaction – the reductive carboxylation of αKG into isocitrate, generating NADP+ as a byproduct [92]. Isocitrate is subsequently isomerized into citrate, which is broken down by ATP citrate lyase into acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA can be used for fatty acid biosynthesis under these conditions [93].
Hotspot mutations within the active site of IDH1 (R132X) and IDH2 (R140X or R172X) render the enzymes capable of catalyzing a new reaction - the conversion of αKG into D-2-HG. This is in contrast to the reverse reaction catalyzed by wildtype IDH1 that produces isocitrate. Mutant IDH-driven D-2-HG accumulation is coupled with the oxidation of NADPH into NADP+. Unlike wildtype IDH, mutant IDH consumes both αKG and NADPH, which is likely to impact cellular metabolism and redox homeostasis, respectively.
D-2-HG is classified as an oncometabolite and is almost exclusively produced by IDH mutant cells [14], although there is evidence that other enzymes, including phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, produce minute amounts of the oncometabolite in cells [94]. Mutant IDH-mediated D-2-HG accumulation is a molecular hallmark of astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma [95]. Importantly, D-2-HG production drives metabolic rewiring in these types of cancer, including but not limited to dysregulation of glucose metabolism, the citric acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, lipid and cholesterol metabolism and redox homeostasis.

Mutant IDH Cells Do Not Perform Aerobic Glycolysis

Perhaps the most well-known example of metabolic reprogramming is the overconsumption of glucose by cancer cells to meet growing energy demands [96]. Cancer cells are also known to produce and secrete copious amounts of lactate as a result of pyruvate metabolism, despite the presence of O2. This phenomenon is better known as aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effect. Interestingly, IDH mutant glioma do not appear to follow this framework. Glycolytic flux is reduced in IDH1 mutant glioma tumors compared with IDH1 wildtype tumors as a result of dampened expression of the rate-limiting glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and pyruvate kinase [97]. In agreement with this, lower quantities of glycolytic intermediates, including fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate, have been observed in IDH1 mutant glioma tissue [95].
IDH mutant glioma tissue and brain tumor stem cells derived from IDH1 mutant glioma tissue show reduced expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), the enzyme responsible for converting pyruvate into lactate [98]. Silenced LDHA expression is associated with hypermethylation of the LDHA promoter, which is likely to be a direct result of inhibition of αKG-dependent DNA demethylases by D-2-HG. This relationship, along with other IDH-mutant specific metabolic and epigenetic aberrations, is summarized in Figure 4. This is accompanied by decreased expression of monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) 1 and 4, both of which are involved in the efflux of lactate from the cell. Overall, this suggests that IDH1 mutant cells do not perform aerobic glycolysis. Indeed, lactate levels are undetectable in IDH1 mutant neurospheres [99]. Interestingly, the enzyme LDHB, which is involved in converting lactate to pyruvate, and the lactate importer MCT2 are more abundant in IDH1 mutant glioma tissue compared with wildtype samples [100]. This suggests that lactate may serve as an anaplerotic substrate for pyruvate accumulation.

Citric Acid Cycle Rewiring in IDH Mutant Cells

The citric acid cycle is the cornerstone of cellular metabolism [101]. This pathway is directly involved in energy production and supplies metabolic intermediates for the generation of fatty acids, amino acids and nucleotides. Although IDH3 is the only IDH isozyme that directly participates in the citric acid cycle, both IDH1 and IDH2 help regulate levels of cellular αKG and control redox homeostasis. There is strong agreement among various studies that the citric acid cycle is rewired in IDH1 mutant gliomas. Elevated expression of citric acid cycle enzymes upstream of IDH, including citrate synthase and aconitase, has been reported [97]. In addition, there is decreased expression of enzymes downstream of IDH, including succinate dehydrogenase and fumarase. These findings are supported by studies showing that citric acid cycle intermediates downstream of IDH, including αKG, succinate and fumarate, are decreased [102,103].
Anaplerotic reactions serve to replenish citric acid cycle intermediates, maintaining cycle flux [101]. Three common anaplerotic nutrients are glutamate (converted to αKG by glutamate dehydrogenase), glutamine (converted to glutamate by glutaminase) and pyruvate (converted to oxaloacetate by pyruvate carboxylase). As αKG is consumed by mutant IDH, the metabolism of both glutamate and glutamine would be expected to be particularly important. Indeed, both glutamate and glutamine levels are significantly decreased in U87MG cells expressing the IDH1-R132H mutant, compared with wildtype cells [104]. In partial agreement with this finding, patient-derived IDH1-R132H xenografts showed elevated expression of glutamate dehydrogenase and lower levels of glutamate in mouse brains, suggesting that glutamate metabolism is increased in IDH1 mutant tissue [97,105,106]. However, the authors found no significant difference in the expression of glutaminase or cellular glutamine levels. Somewhat surprisingly, another study found no differences in glutamate or glutamine levels between IDH1 wildtype and IDH1 mutant human glioma tumor samples [97]. Thus, it appears that glutamate versus glutamine usage by IDH mutant cells is context-dependent and requires further exploration.
It is worth noting that pyruvate carboxylase expression was elevated in immortalized human astrocytes expressing the IDH1-R132H mutant and in human glioma tissue [104]. This suggests that regardless of whether αKG is primarily derived from glutamate or glutamine, pyruvate carboxylase may take the driver’s seat as the primary anaplerotic reaction in the citric acid cycle.

Mutant IDH Drives Changes In Amino Acid Metabolism

McBrayer et al. discovered that expression of IDH1-R132H in glioma cell lines elicits an upregulation in glutaminase expression [107]. Interestingly, the authors concluded that enhanced glutamine catabolism was being used to primarily support glutamate production, as opposed to αKG. Glutamate levels were decreased in the mutant cell line as a direct result of branched-chain aminotransferase 1 and 2 (BCAT1/2) inhibition by D-2-HG. As expected, the authors found that the mutant IDH1 cells had increased levels of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) valine, isoleucine and leucine. Two additional studies support the finding that BCAT1/2 expression and activity is decreased in IDH mutant tumors compared with wildtype tumors [97,108]. However, Tonjes et al. suggested that reduced activity of BCAT1/2 could be attributed to lower levels of αKG due to mutant IDH activity.
In addition to lower levels of BCAAs, IDH1 mutant glioma tissue contains decreased concentrations of the amino acids glycine and serine [95]. Glycine and serine are integral to one-carbon metabolism, suggesting potential impairments in this metabolic network. In one-carbon metabolism, the interconversion of glycine and serine by the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase is coupled with the folate cycle, the methionine cycle and nucleotide biosynthesis [109]. However, an in-depth analysis of these pathways in IDH mutant glioma is lacking.

Consumption of NADPH by the Mutant IDH Enzyme

NADPH is produced in the canonical reaction catalyzed by wildtype IDH, whereas mutant IDH consumes NADPH in the reaction that produces D-2-HG. As expected, U87MG glioma cells expressing the IDH1-R132H mutant and patient-derived xenografts from IDH1 mutant GBM both showed lower cellular NADPH levels and a decreased [NADPH]/[NADP+] ratio [102,103]. Fack et al. found that [NADH]/[NAD+] was not different between IDH1 wildtype and mutant tumors; however, Biedermann et al. detected less NAD+ in the mutant U87MG cells, suggesting that NAD+ could be used to replenish cellular NADPH. As a potential explanation for how redox homeostasis can be restored in IDH mutant cells, Hollinshead et al. found that human anaplastic oligodendroglioma cells expressing the IDH1-R132H mutant had increased expression of the enzyme proline 5-carboxylase reductase 1 (PYCR1), which is involved in proline biosynthesis [110]. The authors found that not only did the IDH1 mutant cell line accumulate proline as a result of increased PYCR1 activity but NADH consumption in this reaction was a means to uncouple the citric acid cycle from NADH usage in oxidative phosphorylation.
The oxidative pentose phosphate pathway is recognized as the major producer of cytosolic NADPH. NADPH is primarily used for fatty acid biosynthesis and to maintain the cellular pool of reduced glutathione for mitigating ROS. Unfortunately, the impact of reduced NADPH levels in IDH mutant glioma cells specifically is largely lacking. In line with studies performed in glioma cells, HCT116 colon cancer cells expressing the IDH1-R132H mutant consume significantly greater quantities of NADPH compared with wildtype cells [111]. This leads to an increase in the cellular demand for NADPH, amplifying flux through the NADPH-producing pentose phosphate pathway. Interestingly, both IDH1-R132H mutants and IDH2-R172K mutants are more susceptible to oxidative insults. Gelman et al. also found that the IDH1 mutation created competition between the production of D-2-HG and the fatty acid palmitate in colon cancer cells. Fibrosarcoma cells expressing another IDH1 mutant (R132C) consume NADPH at the same rate as de novo lipogenesis [112]. These cells have increased reliance on exogenous lipids for growth.

Dysregulation of Membrane Lipid Biosynthesis

The biosynthesis of fatty acids, membrane lipids and cholesterol is perturbed in IDH1 mutant glioma. Three IDH1 mutant glioma models, including human glioma xenografts in mice, cultured glioma cell lines and human glioma biopsies, showed a distinct phospholipid profile characterized by low levels of phosphoethanolamine and heightened levels of phosphatidylcholine [113]. In contrast, another study showed the phosphatidylcholine levels were decreased in U87MG cells expressing the IDH1-R132H mutation [114].

DNA Damage Repair

Various studies have demonstrated that cells with an IDH mutation have heightened sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. This increased sensitivity is partially mediated by the inhibition of ABH enzymes including ALKBH2 and ALKBH3. ALKBH2/3 remove alkyl adducts from nucleobases via oxidative dealkylation [115], and the inhibition of these enzymes by D-2-HG reduces the repair kinetics of IDH mutant cells resulting in the accretion of DNA damage. Since ABH proteins are αKG-Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases, the accumulation of D-2-HG impedes normal function, resulting in a 73-88% inhibition of normal DNA repair activities [116]. Ratios of D-2-HG:αKG in patients have been observed at approximately 373:1, while D-2-HG concentrations are dependent upon the source, but in tissues can accumulate up to almost 2 mM [117]. For experiments gauging D-2-HG inhibition of DNA repair activities, Chen et al. utilized a 373:1 ratio of D-2-HG:αKG and concentrations of D-2-HG varying from 0-37 mM. Interestingly, like other dioxygenases that rely upon αKG, this inhibition is reversible if the IDH mutation (and consequently the production of D-2-HG) is lost [118]. The presence of excess αKG can also assist in reversing this inhibition [116].
In addition to ALKBH2/3, IDH mutant cells also demonstrate an impaired ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) signaling pathway, which is an essential mediator of cellular response to double stranded breaks (DSB) [119]. Upon the occurrence of a DSB, ATM is recruited to the damage site then initiates DNA damage repair (DDR) complexes by phosphorylating various targets including checkpoint kinases and p53 to begin the repair process [120]. Further investigation into the mechanism of the IDH mutant specific downregulation of ATM has demonstrated that the reduced expression of ATM is due to D-2-HG mediated histone methylation of H3-K9 by KDM4 [121]. The use of pharmaceutical inhibitor AGI-5198 with IDH mutant patient-derived cultured glioma cells has demonstrated the downregulation of essential epigenetic reader Zinc Finger MYND-Type Containing 8 (ZMYND8) [122]. ZMYND8 recognizes modifications such as acetylation and methylation, facilitates DNA repair in the presence of DSB, and may act as either a repressor or enhancer of transcription [123]. KDM5A-dependent H3K4me3 demethylation near DSB is required for the colocalization of ZMYND8 and subunits of the nucleosome remodeling (NuRD) and histone deacetylation complex including HDAC1/2 and chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 3-5 (CHD3/4/5) [124]. Lending to the known sensitivity of IDH mutant cells to poly(ADP) ribose (PARP) inhibitors [125], it is also of note that ZMYND8/NuRD facilitated repair is dependent upon poly(ADP) ribose. To this end, treatment with PARP inhibitors has been shown to abolish ZMYND8 recruitment in cultured cells [124], and the knockdown of ZMYND8 in IDH mutant patient-derived cultured glioma cells resulted in increased sensitivity to radiotherapy as well as significant phosphorylation of ATM and γH2AX activation in response to ionizing radiation [122].
Despite several known mechanisms for increased vulnerability to DNA damage, variable results exist concerning the response of IDH mutant cells to radiation-induced DNA damage. In some cases IDH mutant glioma cells have demonstrated a decreased sensitivity to radiation-induced DNA damage in comparison to IDH wildtype cells [126]. A potential theory for this unexpected finding posited by the authors is that IDH mutant cells must develop buffering mechanisms against high levels of ROS to survive, thus making them better equipped to survive ROS generated from radiation damage. Despite these findings, other groups have shown the opposite: that IDH mutations increase sensitivity to radiation due to delayed DNA repair [127,128]. For example, when treated with TMZ, IDH mutant cells have an IC50 less than half that of IDH wildtype cells [119]. Since the mechanism of TMZ is to disrupt DNA structure via the addition of alkyl groups, this heightened sensitivity suggests weakened DDR response.
Conflicting results regarding the response of IDH mutant cells to DNA damage could potentially be explained by the genetic complexity found within the tumor environment that varies between patients and is often not accounted for with isogenic knockout models. To this end, several mutations that commonly co-occur with IDH mutations [specifically inactivating TP53 [129] and alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked gene (ATRX) [130]] have been shown to contribute to genomic stability, enhanced DNA repair, and resistance to genotoxic therapies [131]. Thus, although this relationship has not been extensively explored, it is possible that discrepancies in DDR data are due to co-occurring deletions or other complex genetic factors.

Immunological Impact of IDH Mutations in Glioma

The immunological implications of IDH mutations in glioma has recently been extensively covered [132].

Diagnostics

Efforts to identify and classify biomarkers have yielded valuable targets for diagnostics treatment, with IDH mutant cancers being a key example in glioma. Techniques that may elucidate the IDH mutational status prior to surgical resection remains urgent, as overall survival improves with a maximal surgical resection [133]. Still, CNS malignancies pose unique challenges, with the acquisition of tissue remaining at the forefront. While tissue-based assays remain valuable, many cannot function in a manner rapid enough to provide information capable of guiding the extent of surgical resection. However, strategies leveraging D-2-HG as a surrogate biomarker show great promise for facilitating early detection and monitoring of disease state. Additionally, MRI-based techniques have been highly successful for the early detection of IDH mutant gliomas. Here, we discuss some of the molecular diagnostic techniques developed for the detection of IDH mutations.

Sequencing

The development of assays to successfully detect the IDH mutant genotype has been challenging, particularly due to the heterogeneity of gliomas [134,135,136] and heterozygosity of IDH mutations [137], which collectively lend to low copy number within a sample. Currently, the sequencing of DNA serves as one of the most comprehensive and relied upon methods for characterizing the molecular profile of tumors. Sequencing is particularly beneficial as it is adept at identifying a variety of genetic abnormalities including single nucleotide variants (SNV), indels, and structural variants. The detection of SNVs is particularly relevant for identifying IDH mutations, as traditional PCR or other amplification-based methods struggle to identify the single base changes needed to differentiate between the wildtype and mutant genotype. Furthermore, there is evidence that sequencing-based detection is a more reliable indication of IDH mutational status than IHC [138], which is currently considered a gold standard.
Next generation sequencing (NGS) and third generation sequencing platforms are advantageous as they are high throughput and can successfully identify both known and novel transcripts. However, without precursor targeted enrichment, NGS-based systems may struggle with accurately detecting low-level variants and have reported detection limits between 2-15% variant allele frequency (VAF). Using NGS, Vij et al., found the VAF of IDH1-R132H mutations to be 0.8%, a value significantly lower than other clinically relevant mutations in glioma such a ATRX [139]. While highly sensitive methods like real-time PCR (as low as 0.0002%) [140] are appealing alternatives for low abundance targets, they typically lack SNV discrimination and lack the high throughput of sequencing-based applications. On the contrary, sequencing-based applications can provide unbiased results for new or previously known SNVs. Additionally, targeted sequencing with user-defined primer sets to enrich specific genes or regions allow for the detection of VAF as low as 0.1-0.2% to be achieved [141]. When using sequencing for diagnostic applications in cancer, whole genome sequencing can be used; however, it often poses a significant time and cost burden. Thus, panels targeting known biomarkers are often employed dependent upon cancer type. Panels are beneficial for saving time and costs, but also allow for increased sequencing depth [142] and thus, more reliable results. For gliomas, these panels generally target key biomarkers such as IDH1, TP53, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), and ATRX [143,144,145,146,147]. While methods using NGS techniques such as ion-torrent [144,146,147,148] and Illumina [145,149,150] have been developed to detect IDH mutations, third generation techniques such as oxford nanopore technology (ONT) [151,152,153] have recently gained traction as well. These ONT platforms have demonstrated variant detection limits within the general range of those seen in NGS-based systems (3.3% and
DNA sequencing is most commonly used for diagnostic purposes; however, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) assays have also been developed to include IDH mutations [154]. RNAseq offers some advantages over DNA sequencing, such as the direct detection of rare splice variants, accurate measurements of gene expression, and detection of non-coding RNA species [155]. RNAseq also serves as a valuable approach toward transcriptome profiling and can provide single-cell resolution [156] and spatial information [157]. RNAseq has the potential to uncover cell-type specific treatment responses, better understand disease mechanisms, and provide quantitative transcriptome-wide data from tissue sections [157]. Using single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) of GBM samples, Couturier et al., generated a hierarchal map to uncover therapeutic targets of progenitor cancer stem cells [156]. Specific to IDH mutant glioma, scRNAseq has been utilized to explore the identity of progenitor cells for astrocytoma vs oligodendroglioma, as well as identify differences in their respective tumor microenvironments. For example, the data of Venteicher et al., suggest a common progenitor cell type for astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma IDH mutant glioma, [158]. While high cost will likely hinder the widespread implementation of RNAseq in a clinical setting in the immediate future, basic research with these techniques may yield valuable targets for novel therapeutics to improve overall survival.
Sequencing is commonly employed with DNA purified from fresh frozen tissues or formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues (FFPE) [143,144,145,146,147,148,149]. Additionally, sequencing for the detection of IDH mutations has been successfully performed on cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA) derived from CSF [159]. Genetic characterization via liquid biopsies has been particularly challenging in gliomas, with low copy number attributed to the blood-brain barrier. Current data supports that the quantity of cfDNA increases with proximity to the tumor [160], with CSF yielding the highest quantity and fluids like blood [161] and urine proving to be more challenging sample types. To this end, amplification-based library preparation methods such as multiplex PCR can be helpful in enriching samples of interest prior to sequencing. Additionally, others have applied Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) based systems toward the targeted enrichment of regions of interest. An example of this is nanopore Cas9 Targeted Sequencing (nCATS), which selectively ligates sequencing adapters to CRISPR-Cas cut sites by dephosphorylating DNA ends before cleavage occurs, then preferentially ligating to the freshly cut/phosphorylated DNA ends at the cleavage site. nCATS has been utilized to simultaneously determine the IDH mutational status and Methyl Guanine Methyl Transferase (MGMT) methylation status in fresh glioma biopsies [162]. CRISPR-based detection of IDH mutations has also been utilized directly with CRISPR-Cas12a [163,164]. CRISPR-Cas12a binds DS DNA with high specificity, which then induces non-specific (collateral) cleavage of single stranded DNA. Various groups have exploited the unique properties of Cas12a by including single stranded DNA probes that emit fluorescence when cleaved [165,166]. Despite the broad applications of CRISPR-based diagnostics, evidence exists to indicate prevalent nonspecific cleavage of DS DNA by Cas12a [167], and some groups have even attempted to generate variants with more stringent recognition [168].

Epigenetic Detection

As the epigenetic effects of IDH mutations ultimately lead to G-CIMP [29], several groups have identified methylome profiling as an alternative method of diagnosis [169,170,171,172,173]. In an analysis of mixed tumor samples, a pairwise similarity heatmap yielded two major clusters- gliomas with and without IDH mutations [174], demonstrating that the characteristic nature of global methylation patterns can be used to differentiate between the IDH wildtype and IDH mutant genome. Epigenetics can also serve as an indication of changes to disease state, as the overall methylation level has been found to decrease during progression [171]. Another benefit to methylation profiling is that it can inclusively recognize oncogenic variants of IDH1/2 and can be further subclassed into tumor type based on epigenetic marks (for example, astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma) [170,175]. Methylation status has been interrogated using Nanopore sequencing [173,176] and methylation profiling arrays [170,171,172,173] and can be performed using snap frozen or FFPE tissue. Nanopore sequencing for the determination of methylation status is particularly advantageous because it does not require a precursor bisulfite treatment, which is associated with DNA degradation [177] and is rapid enough to adapt for intraoperative use [176]. As discussed later, a more aggressive surgical resection for glioma patients with an IDH mutation is associated with greater survival benefit [178,179,180], making simple assays capable of performing intraoperatively valuable tools for clinicians seeking to use this information to guide the extent of resection.

Amplification-Based Detection

Amplification methods for the detection of IDH mutations are frequently adapted to discriminate between SNVs while retaining the sensitivity necessary for detecting relatively low copy number in a high background of non-target nucleic acids. PCR-based amplification is highly characterized, broadly available, and has long been considered a gold standard in clinical practice. The PCR-based detection of IDH mutations has been accomplished with several variations and/or adaptations, including digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) [181] qRT-PCR [182], and multiplex PCR coupled to a SNaPshot assay [183]. Another modification of PCR, Beads, Emulsion, Amplification, Magnetics (BEAMing) RT-PCR has also been adapted for the detection of IDH mutations [184]. BEAMing PCR is an adaptation of emulsion PCR that meets the need for detection of low frequency alleles in a high background of non-target DNA with a sensitivity of as little as 0.01%. This assay has shown promise in detecting IDH1 mutant mRNA in CSF-derived extracellular vesicles. Through the development of BEAMing-PCR, it was found that the copy number of IDH1 mRNA was significantly elevated in patients with an IDH mutation as opposed to IDH wildtype control samples [184], suggesting that a greater focus on mRNA-based detection could be beneficial.
Relatedly, ddPCR has demonstrated exceptional sensitivity compared to other PCR variations such as qRT-PCR [182,185], and has been employed for the detection of cfDNA in CSF [186] and blood [187,188]. ddPCR is particularly advantageous for the detection of IDH mutations due to the water-oil emulsion partitions that allow for high sensitivity in a high background of non-target DNA. A TaqMan-based allele specific qPCR has also been employed to detect IDH mutations in FFPEs and blood [189], further contributing to the possibility of liquid biopsies for patients to infer the IDH mutational status prior to surgical resection. Due to the similar survival benefit imparted by IDH driver mutations, inclusivity for all known variants with PCR-based assays would be ideal but has proven difficult. Consequently, IDH1-R132H has historically been the primary focus as it is the most encountered mutation. Recently, a cartridge-based RT-PCR assay kit (Idylla) has been developed which qualitatively detects five of the most common codon changes for IDH1 (R132H/C/G/S/L) and nine codon changes in IDH2 (R140Q/L/G/W and R172K/M/G/S/W). The Idylla assay functions with an input of FFPE, has 97% agreement with sequencing results, and requires limited hands-on time for laboratory technicians [190]. With the success of Vorasidenib on less common variants such as IDH1-R132C, it has become increasingly urgent for assays to be inclusive and easily implemented.
In addition to PCR, isothermal amplification techniques have also been developed for the identification and characterization of IDH mutations. Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is among the most popular isothermal amplification techniques due to its ability to amplify DNA or RNA in crude cell lysates, eliminating the need for a nucleic acid extraction step. Additionally, LAMP can facilitate the simple and visual interpretation of data through turbidity or colorimetric means. LAMP coupled with a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamping probe has been shown to facilitate the detection of IDH1-R132H in tumor samples within approximately 1 hour [191]. Additionally, a LAMP-based genotyping panel for IDH1 that uses primers modified with Locked Nucleic Acids (LNA) to mediate SNV specificity has been shown to successfully identify the specific IDH1 variant present (R132H/L/C/G/S) within 35 minutes and can be easily interpreted through absorbance or visual interpretation of colorimetric changes [192]. LAMP is particularly advantageous for the detection of IDH mutations because of its ability to rapidly amplify DNA in crude cell lysates, making it a viable candidate for intraoperative use.

Histological Detection

IHC using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained tissue sections treated with monoclonal antibodies targeting IDH1-R132H is commonly employed for the diagnosis of IDH1 mutations in clinical practice. Samples are typically FFPE or frozen sections; however, frozen sections have been found to yield false positives in some cases [193]. While H09 is the most widely used antibody, others exist [194,195,196], including a more recently developed antibody MRQ-67 which promises comparable sensitivity and specificity but less background [197,198]. Although IDH1 mutations in glioma are most commonly the IDH1-R132H variant, alternative IDH1-R132 SNVs, including R132S, R132L, R132G, and R132C have been observed in the molecular analysis of primary tumor samples [20,199] (Table 1). While available monoclonal antibodies specifically target IDH1-R132H, cross reactivity has been observed for other IDH SNVs [200]. For example, MsMab-1 recognizes IDH1-R132H/S/G and IDH2-R132S/G, while MsMab-2 recognizes IDH1-R132L and IDH2-R172M [196]. This cross reactivity is not necessarily detrimental, as oncogenic variants of IDH1/2 mutant are often treated in a similar manner; however, an antibody that is cross-reactive with all oncogenic IDH1/2 variants without exhibiting a positive result for the wildtype would be ideal. IHC is a particularly convenient method of diagnosis for IDH mutations from a clinical perspective as the antibody can be applied and assessed alongside routine histological analysis often utilized to gain information about nuclear atypia, mitotic activity, microvascular proliferation, and necrosis within the tumor [201]. More recently, artificial intelligence-based applications such as machine learning and deep learning have advanced the accuracy of histological analysis. To this end, these applications have been highly successful in differentiating between IDH wildtype and IDH mutant gliomas using digitalized whole slide images [202,203,204,205,206].

D-2-HG as a Surrogate Marker

D-2-HG is generated by hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase and/or 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase through side reactions with low catalytic efficiency [208] or as part of an anti-inflammatory response [209]. D-2-HG is subsequently broken down by D-2-HG dehydrogenase [210], maintaining relatively low levels in healthy individuals. Elevated levels of D-2-HG in body fluids can be attributed to the metabolic disorder D-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria [211] or oncogenic mutations to IDH1/2. To this end, elevated levels of D-2-HG may be utilized as a surrogate marker as an alternative to the genetic or histological elucidation of IDH mutational status.
D-2-HG can accumulate in IDH mutant tumors at a median concentration of 1,965.8 µM [117] and at elevated levels in patient CSF [212,213,214] (up to 109.0 µM), and blood [212,215,216,217] (up to 10.9 µM). Data obtained from currently available studies show a clear and positive correlation between D-2-HG elevation in patients with IDH mutants in comparison to their IDH wildtype counterparts; however, the ideal sample type has been a topic of some debate. The ability to quantify D-2-HG in body fluids as a surrogate marker of IDH mutational status could revolutionize the current standard of care and allow for preoperative, intraoperative, and/or postoperative characterization. Harnessing D-2-HG for diagnostics could also facilitate remote testing for patients, as it is highly stable following exposure to excess heat [218] or several freeze-thaw cycles [213]. A current limitation of this approach is the availability of a simple, rapid, and user-friendly method for quantification. At this time, D-2-HG can be detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) [212,214], gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS )[219] or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) [220]. Fluorometric and colorimetric kits are also commercially available for this purpose [221], but hands-on time and price are likely limiting factors for clinical implementation. A fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) based biosensor for the detection of D-2-HG has been developed [222] but is limited by its dynamic range and use at a physiologically impossible pH of 10. A more recent FRET-based biosensor has been validated using glioma tumor samples and contrived clinical specimens, demonstrating quantification of D-2-HG within a clinically relevant range (~300 nM-100 µM) at physiological pH [223]. FRET-based sensors are promising diagnostic tools; however, they have not yet been evaluated in a clinical setting.
While highly useful for diagnostic purposes, the use of D-2-HG as a surrogate marker can also provide valuable insight towards the effectiveness of pharmaceutical mutant IDH inhibitors such as Ivosidenib [224,225]. This utility becomes an even greater point of interest with the outstanding efficacy of Vorasidenib [10], which is expected to receive a fast track for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A convenient, accurate, and highly characterized tool for the quantification of D-2-HG could also provide novel insights toward the relationship between D-2-HG with IDH mutant cancers such as the correlation between disease burden and D-2-HG level. Additionally, the use of D-2-HG as a surrogate marker would offer significant benefits for earlier implementation of treatment as it could alert clinicians of an IDH mutation without the need for a tissue biopsy. Another benefit to a liquid biopsy approach is that it would be expected to indirectly identify the presence of all oncogenic IDH1/2 mutations due to the conserved accumulation of D-2-HG across variants [226]; however, data in this respect is scarce due to the rarity of non IDH1-R132H variants in glioma and relatively small sample sizes of currently available studies. Future studies to validate the consistency of D-2-HG as a surrogate marker of IDH variants would be highly desirable in determining its value as a comprehensive indicator of disease. Moreover, surveying the levels of D-2-HG in a large cohort of IDH mutant glioma patients in various body fluids preoperatively, postoperatively, and through the process of treatment is needed to determine correlations, if any, with D-2-HG levels and disease burden.
In addition to liquid biopsy approaches, MRS has also shown great promise for the non-invasive detection of 2-HG, which we discuss below.

MRI

Conventional MRI is an important standard of care for gliomas, and radiologic features such as contrast enhancement and multifocality can be useful in determining the molecular characteristics of a tumor [227]. Contrast enhancement is utilized to visualize the vascularity of a structure through the administration of a contrast agent, while multifocality is the presence of multiple distinct lesions. Imaging characteristics including a higher percentage of non-contrast enhancing tumor, larger tumor size, presence of cysts, and presence of satellites has been shown to predict the presence of an IDH mutation with 97.5% accuracy [228]. Furthermore, IDH mutant tumors typically grow in a single lobe, with the most common being the frontal [229] or temporal lobe, whereas IDH wildtype tumors are frequently distributed between lobes [230]. Overall, the use of MRI for the elucidation of IDH mutational status is beneficial due to its non-invasive nature, allowing for earlier diagnosis than methods such as sequencing or IHC which require a tissue biopsy. T2-weighted imaging is one of the most common contrast sequences in MRI, and T2-weighted Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR) is an advantageous approach because it can be performed using only standard MRI sequences to differentiate between IDH wildtype and IDH mutant astrocytomas. T2-FLAIR MRI sequences enhance the contrast between gray matter and white matter to improve the visibility of lesions [231], and the use of T2-FLAIR mismatch for detecting IDH mutant gliomas is based on T2 complete (or mostly complete) homogeneous hyperintense signal and attenuation of FLAIR signal intensity with a bright peripheral rim [232,233]. Additionally, the non-contrast enhancing properties of IDH mutant gliomas make the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign a useful indication of IDH mutational status [234].
Perfusion weighted MRI (PWI) has recently gained attention for facilitating a more accurate determination of tumor grade in comparison to conventional MRI alone [235]. PWI provides information about tissue vascularization and angiogenesis [236], and the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV). rCBV is a value that can be calculated from PWIs by determining the volume of blood in a specific quantity of brain tissue. rCBV values can serve as a powerful indication of IDH wildtype vs IDH mutant gliomas, as recent studies have found these values to be 2-2.5 higher in IDH wildtype glioma samples than their IDH mutant counterparts [237]. PWI has also been combined with dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI (DSC) [229]. DSC utilizes signal loss induced by paramagnetic contrast agents like gadolinium-based compounds on T2-weighted images to determine additional parameters such as relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and mean transit time (MTT). These parameters are subsequently used to assess regional perfusion and have been used in combination with PWI to determine the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). To this end, the minimum/relative ADC [229] and mean ADC [238] have been found to be significantly elevated in IDH mutant astrocytoma (grade II and III) compared to IDH wildtype tumors. These findings are supported with the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to determine the ADC of gliomas, which found that fractional anisotropy and ADC from DTI can successfully determine the IDH1 mutational status in gliomas [239]. Diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) techniques allow for the observation of the cellular architecture of tumors and surrounding tissue [240] by assessing the Brownian motion of water molecules and have shown promise in differentiating between IDH wildtype and IDH mutant gliomas [239,241]. DWI and PWI have also been used to assess the response of IDH1 mutant gliomas to pharmaceutical IDH mutant inhibitors, where an increase in the normalized rCBV and ADC were found to be a useful indicator of antitumor response within a timeframe of 2-4 months [242]. Recently, artificial intelligence applications such as machine learning and deep learning have become valuable tools for highly accurate differentiation between IDH wildtype and IDH mutant gliomas in MRI-based applications [243,244,245,246,247,248]. Carosi et al., have also extensively covered MRI-based techniques for the detection of IDH mutant gliomas and other solid tumors [249].

MRS

Due to the unique accumulation of D-2-HG, IDH mutations may also be detected with the use of MRS through the measurement of total 2-HG [250,251,252,253,254,255]. With an in vivo sensitivity of approximately 1 mM and an ex vivo sensitivity for intact biopsies of 0.1-0.01 mM [256], MRS offers localized 2-HG quantification directly in the lesion and is well poised to differentiate between IDH wildtype and IDH mutant gliomas. D-2-HG is known to accumulate in IDH mutant gliomas at a median concentration of 1,965.8 µM, a value heavily contrasted by IDH wildtype gliomas which yield a median value of 14.0 µM [117]. 2-HG MRS has demonstrated impressive sensitivity and specificity that outperform conventional MRI as well as DWI and PWI [251]. Additionally, as D-2-HG is known to deplete in response to treatment with pharmaceutical inhibitors such as Ivosidenib [224,225] or Vorasidenib [10], MRS is currently being explored for its ability to gauge the effectiveness of mutant IDH inhibitors [257]. While MRS is both highly sensitive and specific, this method may be limited by a low signal-to-noise ratio which requires lesions to be at least several milliliters in volume and sufficiently distant from fluid-brain or air-fluid interfaces. Furthermore, MRS cannot discriminate between D-2-HG and its naturally occurring enantiomer, L-2-HG. L-2-HG is not a useful indication of disease state; thus, enantiomer discrimination would add a greater level of confidence to MRS-based applications. However, analysis of total 2-HG within glioma tissues has shown a median value of 1,971.5 µM for IDH mutant, compared to a median value of 27.0 µM for IDH wildtype [117]. These results still provide a clear indication of disease state, however including larger patient populations in these types of studies are necessary to determine how much variability exists in enantiomer ratios and 2-HG concentrations.

Clinical Implications of IDH Mutations

Clinical Classification of Gliomas

Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment of glioma, the prognosis for the disease is poor [258]. To aid in curbing the lack of improvement in life expectancy, the medical community has increased reliance on molecular analysis of tumors. In addition to the traditional histological and immunohistological methodologies used to characterize brain tumors, the 2021 WHO CNS5 integrated molecular diagnostics for the further classification of tumors [259]. As a result, there are six new families in the classification of gliomas to include: (1) Adult-type diffuse gliomas, (2) Pediatric-type diffuse low-grade gliomas, (3) Pediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas, (4) Circumscribed astrocytic gliomas, (5) Glioneuronal and neuronal, and (6) Ependymomas. The most common family of tumors, adult type diffuse gliomas, includes GBM and mutant IDH gliomas [260]. With this molecular classification, IDH mutant gliomas have been identified as a biologically distinct group of tumors. In cases of adult-type diffuse glioma, the most significant molecular prognostic indicator is IDH mutational status, where IDH mutant gliomas are less aggressive than their wildtype counterparts [261]. Molecular diagnosis is imperative as IDH1/2 mutations are associated with a prolonged survival benefit of approximately 4-fold when molecular identification is combined with surgical resection [262,263]. Identification of IDH status stratifies adult-type diffuse gliomas into separate classifications where GBM is exclusively characterized as IDH wildtype. Further molecular classification for wildtype GBM includes identification of one or more of the following: mutations found in the TERT promoter, amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and chromosome 7 gain (partial or complete) / chromosome 10 loss. [264,265,266,267]
Separate from IDH wildtype GBM, mutant IDH gliomas are molecularly categorized into oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma. The hallmark of oligodendroglioma includes the 1p/19q codeletion, whereas ATRX and p53 mutations differentiate mutant IDH gliomas into astrocytomas. Among gliomas with ATRX loss, 89% retained IDH1/2 mutations while ATRX retention in IDH1/2 mutants was strongly associated with 1p/19q loss, making this a differentiating feature associated with oligodendroglioma [268]. Further molecular characterization of the mutant IDH astrocytoma include detection of the presence or absence of the CDKN2A/B gene. Homozygous deletion of the CDKN2A/B gene characterizes the tumor as grade 4. Grading of mutant IDH astrocytomas retaining the CDKN2A/B gene relies on histological analysis to be differentiated into grade 2 and 3 mutant IDH astrocytoma. It is worth noting that astrocytomas can also be categorized as wildtype IDH but also retain one or more of the TERT promoter mutations, EGFR amplification and/or chromosome 7/10 aneuploidy. The classification of gliomas has also been extensively covered in a recent review by Weller et al. [269].

Influence of Mutational Status on the Production of D-2-HG

Mutant IDH astrocytoma has an incidence rate of 0.44 per 100,000 individuals with approximately 3,000 cases identified in the United States, making up 11% of all diffuse gliomas [260]. From a clinical perspective, IDH mutant gliomas have a significant survival advantage over wildtype gliomas. As identified earlier in this review, IDH1/2 mutations lead to the accumulation of D-2-HG which has pleiotropic oncogenic effects that result in prolonged life expectancy and delayed therapeutic interventions. The overwhelming majority of this data is based on the IDH1-R132H mutation. However, very little is known regarding the cellular accumulation of D-2-HG for the less common mutations of IDH1 such as R132C/G/S/L. A recent publication by Pusch et. al. performed a study evaluating the enzymatic activity of recombinant IDH1 variants on isocitrate/αKG substrate and found that the prevalence rate of IDH1-R132X variants (Table 1) found in patients is inversely proportional to their respective affinities suggesting that selective pressure (ie. D-2-HG toxicity) favor the common IDH1-R132H variant [270]. Based on these data, a favorable clinical outcome would be seen due to increased production of the oncometabolite, D-2-HG. Natsumeda et. al. demonstrated that elevated 2-HG had a better overall survival than lower 2-HG [271]. However, this analysis was performed using MRS in the evaluation of total 2-HG. As seen in multiple studies, IDH1 mutant clinical patient outcomes are variable [261,272,273,274,275]. Of significance to the prognostic implications of IDH mutants is the presence of sub-clonal populations with mosaic expression [276,277,278,279,280,281,282,283], confounding interpretation of the role of D-2-HG production. As a result, quantitative analysis of sub clonal populations may provide more clarity for the treatment of IDH1 mutant gliomas.

Pharmaceutical Treatment of IDH Mutant Gliomas

Mutant IDH gliomas and subsequent D-2-HG production provide a highly druggable target due to its role in glioma formation and progression [284]. Early IDH inhibition is especially important, as tolerable drugs could potentially delay the long-term neurocognitive toxicities of standard treatment which has been identified as detrimental factor in employment and quality of life [285,286]. Mutant IDH inhibitors have been investigated in glioma for approximately ten years [287,288]. Two inhibitors, Ivosidenib and Enasidenib, have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of IDH-mutant leukemia. The two most studied drugs in glioma are Ivosidenib (AG-120), a mutant IDH1 inhibitor, and Vorasidenib (AG-881) an IDH1/2 inhibitor [10]. Ivosidenib is a specific, reversible, allosteric competitive inhibitor of mutant IDH1, and has shown clinical utility in treating IDH1-mutant gliomas [10]. Vorasidenib, a pan-IDH1/IDH2 inhibitor, displays CNS penetration and successfully demonstrated itself as a potential treatment for IDH-mutant glioma pending FDA approval [289]. The recent phase 3 INDIGO trial evaluating Vorasidenib demonstrated significantly prolonged disease stability as well as the ability to delay additional standard therapeutic interventions [10]. More recently, a a dual-inhibitor of both nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) and mutant IDH1 has been developed which has the ability to cross the BBB and demonstrates potent efficacy in vivo [290]. Carosi et al., have recently provided an in-depth analysis of pharmaceuticals targeting IDH-mutant gliomas and other solid tumors [249].
In addition to pharmaceuticals that directly inhibit the mutant IDH protein, inhibitors that interact with proteins associated with epigenetic marks also make excellent targets. Specifically focusing on the acetylation and methylation state of chromatin, HDACs and Jumonji class demethylases are chromatin erasers that are of clinical interest. In IDH mutant glioma, the downstream effect of D-2-HG production inhibits αKG-dependent DNA demethylases rendering chromatin hypermethylated. HDACs are enriched in hypermethylated regions of chromatin, potentially making mutant IDH cells more susceptible to HDAC therapy. The HDAC inhibitor Panobinostat (Farydak) was an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of multiple myeloma that had been recognized as a potential IDH mutant inhibitor for gliomas [291]. Following treatment with Panobinostat, IDH1 mutant glioma cells demonstrated increased cytotoxicity and inhibited proliferation [45]. Panobinostat was also found to compound to inhibit growth in IDH1 mutant glioma lines [46]. Panibostat was recently withdrawn from USA markets due to incomplete post-approval studies and inability to confirm the clinical benefits within the given constraints [292]. Of significance to Jumonji class demethylases, KDM5 has been shown to be a target of 2-HG production resulting in inhibition of lysine demethylase activity and contributes to cellular transformation in mutant IDH glioma [293]. Nie et. al. has described a family of pyrazolyl pyridines that have demonstrated potent activity targeting KDM5A/B resulting in an increase in H3K4me3 epigenetic marks in cancer cell lines [294].

Molecular Basis for the Improved Prognosis of IDH Mutant Gliomas

The survival advantage for gliomas retaining IDH mutations is poorly understood; however, potential mechanisms for this benefit are slowly being elucidated. IDH mutant cells demonstrate a greater degree of hypermethylation in undifferentiated neural progenitor cells than in mature astrocytes, suggesting that the epigenetic modifications within the IDH mutant genome are dependent upon cellular context [90]. Pursuant to this point, a recent publication identified that D-2-HG reduces glioma cell growth by inhibiting the m6A epi transcriptome regulator, FTO [81]. The aforementioned enzyme is responsible for m6A hypermethylation for a specific set of mRNA transcripts to include ATF5 (Activating Transcription Factor 5) leading to increased cellular apoptosis. Interestingly, inhibition of FTO led to the growth characteristics of wildtype IDH gliomas to be more consistent with IDH mutant growth phenotype. Within IDH mutant astrocytomas, global DNA methylation status and CDKN2A homozygous deletion were found to be significant prognostic indicators [295]. Non-canonical mutations also play a role as a prognostic tool for gliomas. Interestingly, non-canonical IDH1-R132 mutations have an improved prognostic outcome compared to the canonical IDH1-R132H mutation in gliomas [296]. This lends support for the development of diagnostic tools capable of readily differentiating the mutational status in patients.

Clinical Trials

A comprehensive assessment of current trials targeting mutant IDH gliomas can be found in reviews by Sharma and Kayabolen [297,298].

Conclusions

IDH is the most common metabolic mutation associated with oncogenesis, and the production of D-2-HG yields a unique cancer phenotype to include a characteristic epigenetic profile. IDH serves as a critical biomarker in hematological malignancies as well as solid tumors such as glioma, chondrosarcoma, and cholangiosarcoma. While we focus solely on gliomas in this review, Carosi et al. recently covered the role of IDH mutations shared by or unique to these solid tumors. The epigenetic, immunological, and metabolic characteristics are highlighted, as well as selected diagnostics and pharmaceuticals [249]. In this review, we expand upon this work to provide a highly detailed analysis of the molecular mechanism and consequences of IDH mutant gliomas with a special focus on the role of metabolism. D-2-HG is essential for the development and maintenance of IDH mutant glioma. Its inhibition of αKG-dependent dioxygenases yields a unique epigenetic profile/transcriptome reliant upon its continued production and accumulation. We provide an extensive review of current data highlighting the specific role of D-2-HG in various pathways, including m6A modification, DNA damage repair, metabolic rewiring, and epigenetics. In addition to the molecular mechanism of IDH mutations in glioma, we also extensively cover the past, present, and future directions of diagnostics that have been developed for the detection of IDH mutant gliomas. With the recent success of Vorasidenib [10], innovative methods capable of early detection will be increasingly imperative for improving patient prognosis.

Figure 2. The difference in roles between wildtype and mutant IDH within the citric acid cycle. Wildtype IDH catalyzes the conversion of isocitrate to αKG. Mutations to conserved residues within the catalytic site of IDH elicit a gain-of-function that results in the aberrant conversion of αKG to D-2-HG. This figure was created with biorender.com.
