Gene context of Medulloblastoma

  • Expression profiling of medulloblastoma: PDGFRA and the RAS/MAPK pathway as therapeutic targets for metastatic disease [2].
  • The tumor suppressors Ink4c and p53 collaborate independently with Patched to suppress medulloblastoma formation [24].
  • In human medulloblastomas reverse transcription-PCR for Shh and Notch targets revealed activation of both of these pathways in most tumors when compared with normal cerebellum [25].
  • Mutations in CTNNB1 were found exclusively among medulloblastomas that demonstrated nuclear beta-catenin immunoreactivity, but no evidence of APC mutation was found in these cases [26].
  • Loss of p53 but not ARF accelerates medulloblastoma in mice heterozygous for patched [27].
  • Reintroduction of SGNE1 into the medulloblastoma cell line D283Med led to a significant growth suppression and reduced colony formation [28].
  • Adenoviral vector-mediated expression of DKK1 in medulloblastoma cells increased apoptosis fourfold (P < 0.001) [29].
  • A molecular risk stratification model for medulloblastoma patients is proposed based on the signature of MYC, LDHB, and CCNB1 expression [30].
  • We use a mouse model of Ptch1 heterozygosity to reveal a critical tumor suppressor function for Hic1 in medulloblastoma [31].
  • COL1A2 status distinguished infant medulloblastomas of the desmoplastic histopathological subtype, indicating that distinct molecular pathogenesis may underlie these tumors and their more favorable prognosis [32].
  • GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms may predict adverse events, including cognitive impairment after therapy, in patients with medulloblastoma [33].
