Mashup Score: 10Hemangioblastomas and Other Uncommon Intramedullary Tumors - 4 year(s) ago
Astrocytoma and ependymoma make up 90% of intramedullary tumors between them. However, a host of less common tumors form the remaining 10%: these include hemangioblastomas, subependymomas, gangliogliomas and other neuronal variants, metastases from extraneural cancers, and a host of other lesions that typically occur intracranially but which present on rare occasions in the intramedullary…

Mashup Score: 2Clinical characteristics and long-term surgical outcome of spinal myxopapillary ependymoma: a French cohort of 101 patients - 4 year(s) ago
Purpose Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is the most frequent tumor affecting the medullary conus. The surgical therapeutic management is still debated and only few studies have focused on the postoperative clinical outcome of patients. This study aimed to demonstrate long-term postoperative outcome and to assess the predictive factors of recurrence as well as the clinical evolution of these…

Mashup Score: 5Cross-species genomics reveals oncogenic dependencies in ZFTA/C11orf95 fusion-positive supratentorial ependymomas - 4 year(s) ago
Molecular groups of supratentorial ependymomas comprise tumors with ZFTA-RELA or YAP1-involving fusions and fusion-negative subependymoma. However, occasionally supratentorial ependymomas cannot be readily assigned to any of these groups due to lack of detection of a typical fusion and/or ambiguous DNA methylation-based classification. An unbiased approach with a cohort of unprecedented size…

Mashup Score: 1ZFTA-RELA Dictates Oncogenic Transcriptional Programs to Drive Aggressive Supratentorial Ependymoma - 4 year(s) ago
Over 60% of supratentorial (ST) ependymomas harbor a ZFTA-RELA (ZRfus) gene fusion (formerly C11orf95-RELA). To study the biology of ZRfus, we developed an autochthonous mouse tumor model using in utero electroporation (IUE) of the embryonic mouse brain. Integrative epigenomic and transcriptomic mapping was performed on IUE driven ZRfus tumors by CUT&RUN, ChIP, ATAC, and RNA sequencing and…

Mashup Score: 0ZFTA-translocations constitute ependymoma chromatin remodeling and transcription factors - 4 year(s) ago
ZFTA (C11orf95)-a gene of unknown function-partners with a variety of transcriptional co-activators in translocations that drive supratentorial ependymoma, a frequently lethal brain tumor. Understanding the function of ZFTA is key to developing therapies that inhibit these fusion proteins. Here, using a combination of transcriptomics, chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing, and proteomics, we…

Mashup Score: 0Cysts associated with intramedullary ependymomas of the spinal cord: clinical, MRI and oncological features - 5 year(s) ago
Few published articles have explicitly focused on cysts associated with intramedullary (IM) ependymomas. The objective was to assess the clinical, MRI, and oncological results of patients operated for an IM ependymoma associated with a cystic portion. During the study period, 23 IM tumors resected were cystic ependymomas. The modified McCormick scale was used to assess the neurological function…
