WNT activation by lithium abrogates TP53 mutation associated radiation resistance in medulloblastoma
TP53 mutations confer subgroup specific poor survival for children with medulloblastoma. We hypothesized that WNT activation which is associated with improved survival for such children abrogates TP53 related radioresistance and can be used to sensitize TP53 mutant tumors for radiation. We examined the subgroup-specific role of TP53 mutations in a cohort of 314 patients treated with radiation. ...
BACKGROUND Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant embryonal tumor which commonly arises in the cerebellum. It is relatively rare and accounts for less than 2% of all primary brain tumors. The tumor primarily occurs in childhood; however, rarely, it may be found in adult population. In addition, medulloblastoma in adult population shows features which are quite distinct from the pediatric group. ...
Introduction: Medulloblastoma is a primitive-neuroectodermal (PNET) tumor, mostly localized infratentorially and mostly seen in childhood . It can be seen rarely in adults . Medulloblastoma metastasis is generally seen at bone marrow and bone, such as pelvis, femur, vertebra and costal bones. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old male patient admitted to our clinic with complaints of headache, giddi...
PURPOSE Medulloblastoma, a malignant pediatric brain tumor, is incurable in about one third of patients despite multimodal treatments. In addition, current therapies can lead to long-term disabilities. Based on studies of the extensive tropism of neural stem cells (NSC) toward malignant gliomas and the secretion of growth factors common to glioma and medulloblastoma, we hypothesized that NSCs c...
It is known that microRNA-219 (miR-219) expression is downregulated in medulloblastoma. In the present study, we investigated the expression, targets and functional effects of miR-219 in D283-MED medulloblastoma cells. We first demonstrated that miR-219 not only inhibits proliferation, but also suppresses the invasion and migration of D283-MED cells. Moreover, the knockdown of miR-219 promoted ...
Medulloblastoma arises in the cerebellum and is the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood, however its molecular basis is not well understood. To assess the role of aberrant epigenetic events in medulloblastoma and identify critical genes in its development, we profiled the promoter methylation status of 11 candidate tumour-suppressor genes (TSGs; p14(ARF), p15(INK4b), p16(INK4a), CAS...
PURPOSE Distinct molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma, including hedgehog (Hh) pathway-activated disease, have been reported. We identified and clinically validated a five-gene Hh signature assay that can be used to preselect patients with Hh pathway-activated medulloblastoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Gene characteristics of the Hh medulloblastoma subgroup were identified through published bioin...
This study demonstrates the effects of miRNA-10b on medulloblastoma proliferation through transcriptional induction of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL2. Using a cancer specific miRNA-array, high expression of miRNA-10b in medulloblastoma cell lines compared to a normal cerebellar control was shown, and this was confirmed with real time PCR (RT-PCR). Two medulloblastoma cell lines (DAOY and UW228...
Medulloblastoma, a cancer of the posterior fossa, is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Although 80% of patients with average-risk medulloblastoma are cured, their quality of life is often compromised by treatment-related side effects. Recently, molecular and genomic studies have shown medulloblastoma to be a heterogeneous disease made up of distinct disease subtypes. The import...
OBJECTIVE To analyze traits of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in medulloblastoma survivors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixteen childhood medulloblastoma survivors aged 18.0 (4.4) years, with history of craniospinal radiation therapy (RT) were compared with nine control subjects matched by age, gender, and body mass index, according to fat distribution, metabolic and cardiovascular variables. RESULTS M...
