Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational landscape and clonal architecture in grade II and III gliomas
Hiromichi Suzuki,Kosuke Aoki,Kenichi Chiba,Yusuke Sato,Yusuke Shiozawa,Yuichi Shiraishi,Teppei Shimamura,Atsushi Niida,Kazuya Motomura,Fumiharu Ohka,Takashi Yamamoto,Kuniaki Tanahashi,Melissa Ranjit,Toshihiko Wakabayashi,Tetsuichi Yoshizato,Keisuke Kataoka,Kenichi Yoshida,Yasunobu Nagata,Aiko Sato-Otsubo,Hiroko Tanaka,Masashi Sanada,Yutaka Kondo,Hideo Nakamura,Masahiro Mizoguchi,Tatsuya Abe,Yoshihiro Muragaki,Reiko Watanabe,Ichiro Ito,Satoru Miyano,Atsushi Natsume,Seishi Ogawa +30 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors delineate the entire picture of genetic alterations and affected pathways in these glioma types, with sensitive detection of driver genes Grade II and III gliomas comprise three distinct subtypes characterized by discrete sets of mutations and distinct clinical behaviors, suggesting that there is functional interplay between the mutations that drive clonal selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative metabolome analysis profiles activation of glutaminolysis in glioma with IDH1 mutation
Fumiharu Ohka,Maki Ito,Melissa Ranjit,Takeshi Senga,Ayako Motomura,Kazuya Motomura,Kaori Saito,Keiko Kato,Yukinari Kato,Toshihiko Wakabayashi,Tomoyoshi Soga,Atsushi Natsume +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that glutaminolysis is activated in gliomas with IDH1-R132H mutation and that development of novel therapeutic approaches targeting activated glutaminosynthesis is warranted.
Journal Article
Preclinical evaluation of an O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase-siRNA/liposome complex administered by convection-enhanced delivery to rat and porcine brains
Takashi Tsujiuchi,Atsushi Natsume,Kazuya Motomura,Goro Kondo,Melissa Ranjit,Rei Hachisu,Itsuro Sugimura,Shinpei Tomita,Isao Takehara,Max Woolley,Neil U Barua,Steven S. Gill,Alison S Bienemann,Yoriko Yamashita,Shinya Toyokuni,Toshihiko Wakabayashi +15 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that insufficient distribution of cationic liposomes was achieved for tumor treatment by CED, and translation to a clinical setting might be desirable for reinforcing the efficacy of TMZ therapy for GBM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applicable advances in the molecular pathology of glioblastoma.
TL;DR: Recent developments in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) subtypes, immunohistochemical analyses useful for diagnoses and the biological evaluation and therapeutic implications of gliomas are summarized in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
An immuno-wall microdevice exhibits rapid and sensitive detection of IDH1-R132H mutation specific to grade II and III gliomas
Akane Yamamichi,Toshihiro Kasama,Fumiharu Ohka,Hiromichi Suzuki,Akira Kato,Kazuya Motomura,Masaki Hirano,Melissa Ranjit,Lushun Chalise,Michihiro Kurimoto,Goro Kondo,Kosuke Aoki,Noritada Kaji,Manabu Tokeshi,Toshio Matsubara,Takeshi Senga,Mika K. Kaneko,Hidenori Suzuki,Masahito Hara,Toshihiko Wakabayashi,Yoshinobu Baba,Yukinari Kato,Atsushi Natsume +22 more
TL;DR: The immuno-wall device will enable the rapid and highly sensitive detection of the IDH1-R132H mutation in gliomas in routine clinical practice and should help in the differential diagnosis of grade II and III glioma from other types of CNS tumors and help determine the boundary between the tumor and normal brain tissue.
