Figure S1 - ASPM protein expression. ASPM western blot analysis of grade II, III and IV gliomas (n = 4 in each group). Relative protein expression is presented as the ratio of density value for ASPM over GAPDH signal (mean +/- SEM).

Figure S2 - Tumor spheroid characterization. Genomic stability was examined with CGHa analysis (left = DNA profile from initial tumor; right = DNA profile from gliomasphere at passage p28). The chromosomes are indicated on the x axis and copy number is on y axis. Yellow indicates the normal genomic copy number, while green indicates a loss and red indicates a gain in copy number. As shown here, GBM1 carries EGFR amplification and loss of chromosome 10q. After CSC isolation in stem cell-permissive medium, gliomaspheres were differentiated in presence of fetal bovine serum and stained by Sox2 and O4 for stemness markers and by GFAP and Tuji1 to characterize the potential of multi lineage differentiation of GBM1.

Figure S3 - Knock-down of Aspm gene. Tumor spheroids (GBM1, GBM2, GBM3) were transfected either with non silencing (scrambled ShRNA) or with ASPM ShRNA expressing lentivirus, resulting in a dramatic drop of ASPM RNA in GBM1, GBM3 and to a lesser extent GBM2.
