A global survey of genomic alterations in oligodendroglial tumors (OT) and the results allowed us to refine the molecular characterization associated with prognosis, referring exclusively to oligod endodermic tumors.
Abstract
Malignant gliomas are the most common subtype of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Their pathological classification, however, remains subjective, stimulating researchers to actively seek objective molecular markers to discover alternative and more reproducible tools for improved subtypification. Herein, we present a global survey of genomic alterations in oligodendroglial tumors (OT). Genetic and epigenetic alterations identified in this study are correlated with OT molecular groups we have recently reported: a neurogenic group composed of tumors with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 1p-19q, IDH1 mutations, and MGMT promoter methylation, showing good prognosis; an intermediate group, presenting TP53 mutations or LOH at 17p, IDH1 mutations, and GSTP1 promoter methylation; and a proliferative group, presenting major genetic alterations (LOH at 10q, EGFR amplification, and CDKN2A/ARF deletion) and poor prognosis. These results allowed us to refine our molecular characterization associated with prognosis, referring exclusively to oligodendroglial tumors.

The long pentraxin PTX3 as a correlate of cancer-related inflammation and prognosis of malignancy in gliomas

TL;DR: PTX3 expression differed across low and high-grade tumors based on histopathological diagnosis and clinical severity, positively correlating with tumor grade and severity in a multivariate logistic regression model.

IDH1 p.R132 mutations may not be actively involved in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: The negative results of this study suggests that IDH1 p.R132 mutations are not actively involved in the development of HCC, and some previous reports of the absence of IDH 1 p.

Genetic and epigenetic alterations in primary-progressive paired oligodendroglial tumors.

TL;DR: The primary tumors of three patients with subsequent progression to high-grade astrocytomas, all had 9p deletion, intact 1p, intact 10q and unmethylated MGMT, suggesting this may represent a molecular signature of patients at-risk for the development of aggressive astroCytomas.

Differential mRNA and miRNA expression in oligodendrogliomas of different grades of malignancy

TL;DR: This study performed miRNA and mRNA differential expression profiling between grade II and grade III ODs using microarray based expression profiling platforms and determined miRNAs and putative target genes that are differentially expressed in grade III AOD, but not in grade II OD and in non-neoplastic white matter (nnWM).

Fusing in vivo and ex vivo NMR sources of information for brain tumor classification

TL;DR: Results show that HR-MAS information can have added value in the process of classifying MRSI data and special attention is drawn to the possibility of consideringHR-MAS data as a complementary dataset when dealing with a lack of MRSi data needed to build a classifier.

TL;DR: The fourth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumours of the central nervous system, published in 2007, lists several new entities, including angiocentric glioma, papillary glioneuronal tumour, rosette-forming glioneurs tumour of the fourth ventricle, Papillary tumourof the pineal region, pituicytoma and spindle cell oncocytoma of the adenohypophysis.

TL;DR: The interim integrative analysis of DNA copy number, gene expression and DNA methylation aberrations in 206 glioblastomas reveals a link between MGMT promoter methylation and a hypermutator phenotype consequent to mismatch repair deficiency in treated gliobeasts, demonstrating that it can rapidly expand knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer.

Model-based analysis of oligonucleotide arrays: Expression index computation and outlier detection

TL;DR: A statistical model is proposed for the probe-level data, and model-based estimates for gene expression indexes are developed, which help to identify and handle cross-hybridizing probes and contaminating array regions.

Inactivation of the DNA-Repair Gene MGMT and the Clinical Response of Gliomas to Alkylating Agents

TL;DR: Methylation of the MGMT promoter in gliomas is a useful predictor of the responsiveness of the tumors to alkylating agents and an independent and stronger prognostic factor than age, stage, tumor grade, or performance status.
