Fulminant hemorrhagic course of a thalamic H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma in an adult patient: illustrative case. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neurosurg Case Lessons
BACKGROUND H3 K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are rare tumors, which are, regardless of their histological appearance, classified as World Health Organization grade 4 tumors. They are characterized by a diffuse growth pattern, midline anatomical location, and poor prognosis.

VRK3 depletion induces cell cycle arrest and metabolic reprogramming of pontine diffuse midline glioma - H3K27 altered cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
We previously identified VRK3 as a specific vulnerability in DMG-H3K27M cells in a synthetic lethality screen targeting the whole kinome. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanisms by which VRK3 depletion impact DMG-H3K27M cell fitness.

Genomic Profiling of Pediatric Solid Tumors With a Dual DNA/RNA Panel: JCCG-TOP2 Study. [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Sci
In the JCCG‐TOP2 nationwide pediatric cancer genomic profiling study, 204 patients' tumors and peripheral blood from 50 institutions across Japan were successfully analyzed using a dual DNA/RNA panel. A total of 147 (72%) had potentially actionable findings, including diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic findings in 111 (54%), 61 (30%), and 64 (31%),

Emerging roles of telomeric chromatin alterations in cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play important and multiple roles in tumorigenesis. Functional telomeres need the establishment of a protective chromatin structure based on the interplay between the ...

Local Effect of Enhancer of Zeste-Like Reveals Cooperation of Epigenetic and cis-Acting Determinants for Zygotic Genome Rearrangements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceIn the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia, differentiation of the somatic nucleus from the zygotic nucleus is characterized by massive and reproducible deletion of transposable elements and of 45,000 short, dispersed, single-copy ...

ATXR5 and ATXR6 are H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation, histone H3 dimethylation at Lys9 (H3K9me2) and monomethylation at Lys27 (H3K27me1).

The promise of metabolic imaging in diffuse midline glioma

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2023
Recent insights into histopathological and molecular subgroups of glioma have revolutionized the field of neuro-oncology by refining diagnostic categories. An emblematic example in pediatric neuro-oncology is the newly defined diffuse midline glioma (DMG)

Histone H3 methylation orchestrates transcriptional program in mouse spermatogenic cell line

open access: yesThe Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2020
Changes in histone modifications always correlate with altered transcriptional activities of genes. Recent studies have shown that the mutation of certain lysine residues to methionine in the histone variant H3.3 can act as a valuable tool to reduce ...
