The authors report a 12-year-old boy who was presented with headache, nausea, vomiting and seizure. His magnetic resonance imaging showed 2 adjacent tumors in the region of the left ventricular trigone. The pathology of tumors reported collision tumors composed of meningioma and malignant astrocytoma.

Mifepristone achieves tumor suppression and ferroptosis through PR/p53/HO1/GPX4 axis in meningioma cells.

J Neurooncol

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325027, China.

Purpose: This study explores the effects of mifepristone on the proliferation, motility, and invasion of malignant and benign meningioma cells, aiming to identify mifepristone-sensitive types and investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods: IOMM-Lee and HBL-52 meningioma cells were treated with 0, vehicle control (VC), 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM of mifepristone for 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Proliferation was assessed via CCK8 assay, while motility and invasion were measured using wound scratch and transwell assays.

Meningioma is the most prevalent primary intracranial tumor, with approximately half of patients harboring NF2 alteration. The rationale behind the presence of NF2 alteration in meningiomas and its absence in non-nerve system tumors remains elusive. Therefore, meningiomas and several non-nerve system tumor types were analyzed using KEGG analysis and CRISPR/Cas 9 technology to determine the role of NF2 in regulating tissue specificity.

Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumor. Clinical trials have failed to support effective medical treatments, despite initially promising animal studies. A key issue could be that available experimental models fail to mimic the clinical situation.

Background: Proton therapy (PRT) is an innovative radiotherapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer with unique ballistic properties. The depth-dose distribution of a proton beam reduces exposure of healthy tissues to radiations, compared with photon-therapy (XRT). To date, only few indications for proton-therapy, like pediatric cancers, chordomas, or intra-ocular neoplasms, are reimbursed by Health systems.
