mRNA and microRNA expression was examined in global cellular fractions and in RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-immunoprecipitated cell fractions in cultured primary human astrocytes (ScienCell) and in cultured human U-87 MG astrocytoma cells (ATCC). ABSTRACT: Background: GW/P bodies are cytoplas...

Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common type of brain tumor in pediatric population, generally connected with favorable prognosis, although recurrences or dissemination sometimes are also observed. For tumors originating in supra- or infratentorial location different molecular background was sugges...

Mutations in the PTEN, TP53 and RB1 pathways are obligate events in the pathogenesis of human glioblastomas, the highest grade of astrocytoma. To investigate synergy between these tumor suppressors in mice, we induced various combinations of compound deletions conditionally in astrocytes and neural ...

Primary astrocytomas of high histopathological grade (HG-astrocytomas) are largely restricted to older patients and are almost invariably fatal despite multimodal therapy. Here, we show that the young brain has an endogenous defense mechanisms against HG-astrocytomas. Neural precursor cells (NPCs) m...

Pediatric astrocytomas, a leading cause of death associated with cancer, are the most common primary central nervous system tumors found in children. Most studies of these tumors focus on adults, not children. We examined the global protein and microRNAs expression pattern by 2D SDS-PAGE, mass spect...

WHO classification for tumors of the central nervous system strongly endorses molecular tests for the precise diagnosis of diffuse gliomas. While alterations in the DNA methylation status of gliomas are already well documented and used in specialised clinical centers to distinguish between brain tum...

The Transcriptomic Landscape of Pediatric Astrocytoma
Copy number analysis of 21 paediatric low-grade astrocytomas identified a discrete copy number gain of 1.9Mb in chromosome band 7q34. The gain was present in 12/14 cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas. Subsequent analysis of tumour cDNA indentified a novel gene fusion between KIAA1549 and BRAF in these...

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pervasively transcribed and play a key role in tumorigenesis. The aim of the present study was to determine the lncRNA expression profile in astrocytoma patients and to assess the potential clinical value of the findings. Methods: The global lncRNA expr...
