Project description:Genome wide methylation profiling of pediatric low-grade glioma samples (n=151). The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation850 BeadChip was used (under manufacturer guidelines) to obtain DNA methylation signatures. Samples were exclusively tumors specimen and no normal tissue was included in this analysis.
Project description:Data includes all available Affymetrix SNP data from a cohort of Pediatric malignant glioma samples, isolated from Formalin-fixed Paraffin embedded tissue. No clinical data is available. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 250K Sty SNP arrays was performed for 28 pediatric malignant gliomas. The VN algorithm was used to generate the reference signal based on 48 Mapping 500k HapMap Trio Dataset template.

Project description:High-grade gliomas (HGG) are deadly diseases for both adult and pediatric patients. Recently, it has been shown that neuronal activity promotes the progression of multiple subgroups of HGG. However, epigenetic mechanisms that govern this process remain elusive. Here we report that the chromatin remodeler CHD2 regulates neuron-glioma interactions in diffuse midline glioma (DMG) characterized by onco-histone H3.1K27M. Depletion of CHD2 in H3.1K27M DMG cells compromises cell viability and neuron-to-glioma synaptic connections in vitro, neuron-induced proliferation of H3.1K27M HGG DMG cells in vitro and in vivo, activity-dependent calcium transients in vivo, and extends the survival of H3.1K27M DMG-bearing mice. Mechanistically, CHD2 coordinates with the transcription factor FOSL1 to control the expression of axon-guidance and synaptic genes in H3.1K27M DMG cells. Together, our study reveals a mechanism whereby CHD2 controls the intrinsic gene program of the H3.1K27M DMG subtype, which in turn regulates the tumor growth-promoting interactions of glioma cells with neurons.
Project description:ChIP-Seq analysis of a pediatric human diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cell line SF8628, harboring the K27M mutation. Goal was to obtain quantitative estimates of K27me3 immunoprecipitation change between vehicle-treated SF8628 cells [dimethyl sulfoxide, (DMSO)] and SF8628 cells incubated with 6 mM GSKJ4 at 24 hours and 72 hours. Three-condition experiment: 72 h GSKJ4-treated cells vs. 24 h GSKJ4-treated cells vs. DMSO-treated cells. Biological replicates: 1 cell line, each with 2 technical replicates per condition.
