Objective: To investigate the relationship between isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2 mutation, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene promoter mutation and the prognosis of human glioma patients.

Methods: One hundred fifteen patients with human glioma, treated surgically in The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2019 to January 2020, were included. All patients were followed up until January 31, 2022. The mutations of IDH1/2 and TERT promoter were analyzed, and risk factors affecting survival of the patients with glioma were assessed.

Results: IDH1 gene mutation occurred in 82 cases, IDH2 gene mutation occurred in five cases and TERT promoter mutation occurred in 54 cases. Univariate analysis showed that tumor WHO grade, resection range, preoperative Karnofsky performance status score, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, IDH1/2 gene and TERT promoter mutation influenced postoperative survival of patients with glioma (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that IDH1/2 gene and TERT promoter mutation were significantly different from those of wild-type patients (P<0.05).

Conclusion: IDH1/2 gene and TERT promoter mutations are more frequent in patients with human glioma. These related factors can be used as molecular markers to aid in the prognosis of patients with glioma.

TERTp Mutation and its Prognostic Value in Glioma Patients Under the 2021 WHO Classification: A Real-World Study.

Cancer Med

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Center for Malignant Brain Tumors, National Glioma MDT Alliance, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Background: The 2021 WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors introduces more molecular markers for glioma reclassification, including TERT promoter (TERTp) mutation as a key feature in glioblastoma diagnosis.

Aims: Given the changes in the entities included in each subtype under the new classification, this research investigated the distribution, prognostic value, and correlations with other molecular alterations of TERTp mutation in different subgroups under this latest classification.

Methods: All glioma patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for surgical resection or biopsy from 2011 to 2022 were included.

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are endogenous DNA lesions widespread in human cells. Having no nucleobases, they are noncoding and promutagenic. AP site repair is generally initiated through strand incision by AP endonuclease 1 (APE1).

Reduced lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) expression in patients with adenomyosis during the mid-secretory phase leads to impaired endometrial receptivity, affecting embryo implantation. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying reduced endometrial receptivity in 25 adenomyosis patients and 25 controls. Functional experiments were conducted using human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) and TERT-immortalized HESCs(T-HESCs), with final validation performed using a mouse model.

Deep penetrating nevi (DPNs) are characterized by activating mutations in the MAP kinase and Wnt/beta-catenin pathways that result in large melanocytes with increased nuclear atypia, cytoplasmic pigmentation, and often mitotic activity. Together with a lack of maturation, this constellation of findings creates challenges for pathologists to distinguish deep penetrating nevus (DPN) from DPN-like melanoma. To assess the utility of next generation sequencing (NGS) in resolving this diagnostic dilemma, we performed NGS studies on 35 lesions including 24 DPNs and 11 DPN-like melanomas to characterize the specific genomic differences between the two groups and elucidate the genetic events involved in malignant transformation of DPNs.
