Abstract:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a devastating pediatric brainstem tumor with no efficacious treatment. The most prevalent mutation occurs on the amino terminal tail at Lysine 27 (K27M) resulting in global hypomethylation of H3K27. The H3.1-K27M mutation is highly co-expressed with an activating mutation (G328V) in Activin-A receptor Type 1 (ACVR1), a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor. We used the Sleeping Beauty Transposase (SB) system to deliver plasmids encoding NRASV12 and a short hair pi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
