Article Abstract

Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDH1/2) are central molecular markers for glioblastoma. Providing in vitro or in vivo models with mutated IDH1/2 can help prepare facilities to understand the biology of these mutated genes as glioma markers, as well as help, improve therapeutic strategies. In this review, we first summarize the biology principles of IDH and its mutations and outline the core primary findings in the clinical context of neuro-oncology. Given the extensive research interest and exciting developments in current stem cell biology and genome editing, the central part of the manuscript is dedicated to introducing various routes of disease modeling strategies of IDH mutation (IDH) glioma and comparing the scientific-technological findings from the field using different engineering methods. Lastly, by giving our perspective on the benefits and limitations of patient-derived and donor-derived disease modeling respectively, we aim to propose leading research questions to be answered in the context of IDH1 and glioma.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study focused on evaluating the mutation status of IDH-1, ATRX, and p53 in glioma biopsies, finding a notable IDH-1 mutation in 43.9% of cases, which was associated with specific clinical features.
  • * Results showed that IDH-1 mutations were prevalent in lower-grade tumors and linked to lower tumor proliferation rates, while ATRX and p53 mutations were also common and correlated with the astrocytic tumor type.

Backgrounds: Glioma stands as one of the most formidable brain tumor types, with patient outcomes remaining bleak even in the face of advancements in treatment modalities. FBXW4, a constituent of the F-box and WD repeat domain-containing protein family, is recognized for its participation in diverse cellular activities, including those related to tumor dynamics. Yet, the therapeutic relevance and specific role of FBXW4 in the context of glioma are not well defined.

Background: Determining the impact of somatic mutations requires understanding the functional relationship of genes acquiring mutations; however, it is largely unknown how mutations in functionally related genes influence each other.

Methods: We employed non-synonymous-to-synonymous or dNdS ratios to evaluate the evolutionary dependency (ED) of gene pairs, assuming a mutation in one gene of a gene pair can affect the evolutionary fitness of mutations in its partner genes as mutation context. We employed PanCancer- and tumor type-specific mutational profiles to infer the ED of gene pairs and evaluated their biological relevance with respect to gene dependency and drug sensitivity.

PTBP1 is an oncogene that regulates the splicing of precursor mRNA. However, the relationship between PTBP1 expression and gene methylation, cancer prognosis, and tumor microenvironment remains unclear. The expression profiles of PTBP1 across various cancers were derived from the TCGA, as well as the GTEx and CGGA databases.
