Open AccessGα12 signaling regulates transcriptional and phenotypic responses that promote glioblastoma tumor invasion
In silico interrogation of glioblastoma (GBM) in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed upregulation of GNA12 (Gα12), encoding the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein G12, concomitant with overexpressi...

Open AccessLncRNA INHEG promotes glioma stem cell maintenance and tumorigenicity through regulating rRNA 2’-O-methylation
Glioblastoma (GBM) ranks among the most lethal of human cancers, containing glioma stem cells (GSCs) that display therapeutic resistance. Here, we report that the lncRNA INHEG is highly expressed in GSCs compa...

Meningioma DNA methylation groups identify biological drivers and therapeutic vulnerabilities
Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors. There are no effective medical therapies for meningioma patients, and new treatments have been encumbered by limited understanding of meningioma bio...

Open AccessCHMP2A regulates tumor sensitivity to natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity
Natural killer (NK) cells are known to mediate killing of various cancer types, but tumor cells can develop resistance mechanisms to escape NK cell-mediated killing. Here, we use a “two cell type” whole genome...

Three-dimensional bioprinted glioblastoma microenvironments model cellular dependencies and immune interactions
Brain tumors are dynamic complex ecosystems with multiple cell types. To model the brain tumor microenvironment in a reproducible and scalable system, we developed a rapid three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting me...

Therapeutic targeting of ependymoma as informed by oncogenic enhancer profiling
Super enhancers regulate oncogenes and other molecular targets in ependymomas, and identification of these genes provides potential therapeutic targets.

Targeting glioma stem cells through combined BMI1 and EZH2 inhibition
Microenvironmental pressures in glioblastoma select for glioma stem cells (GSCs) subpopulations that are maintained through preferential activation of BMI1 and EZH2 in different niches. Given the high degree o...

Purine synthesis promotes maintenance of brain tumor initiating cells in glioma
Brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs) utilize high-affinity glucose uptake, which is normally active in neurons to maintain energy demands and self-renew. Leveraging metabolomic and genomic analyses, Wang et al. r...
