Emmanuelle Charpentier has been appointed honorary citizen of Umeå Municipality, and in connection with the honorary citizenship ceremony, the Nobel Prize winner is making a long-awaited visit to her alma mater for a public seminar/talk. Read more here: www.umu.se/en/events/se...

MLL2 facilitates long-range gene regulation through LINE1 elements Transcriptional regulation is tightly linked to chromatin organization, with H3K4me3 commonly marking both active and bivalent promoters. In embryonic stem cells (ESC), MLL2 is essential for H3K4me3 d...

#Preprint alert! 📣

We are thrilled to share the work led by Lara Zorro-Shahidian and Lucio di Filippo, in which we show that #MLL2 controls gene expression in both #ESC and upon #differentiation by facilitating the #enhancer like activity of #LINE1 elements

Collab with #CemalErdem @kirkebylab.bsky.social @hornblad-lab.bsky.social

With these studies we have showed that #epigenetic regulators of the #neuron-to-glioma axis can serve as actionable #targets in #GB.

Viewing neuron-glioma interactions through an epigenetic lens helped us understand how glioma cells exploit neural signals to fuel their growth.

#ARX, #GSX2 and members of the #DLX family were identified as key #TFs regulating #GABAergic related networks in #GB.

AMPAR antagonist NBQX reduces GB cell proliferation in co-culture with glutamatergic neurons, as expected. But the GABAAR antagonist picrotoxin doesn’t affect GB growth in the setting with GABAergic interneurons. This suggests #GABA signalling drives #GB growth through non-synaptic mechanisms.

#GABAergic neuron-to-glioma synapses were recently found in #DMG/#DIPG, but not #GB @michellemonje.bsky.social @tarabarron.bsky.social

Yet our ML-based analysis flagged #GABA signalling as key in #GB. Notably, we showed that #GABAergic neurons promote #GB cell proliferation in co-culture assays.

#glutamatergic neuron-to-glioma synapses were found in #glioblastoma — key findings from @winklerlab.bsky.social @michellemonje.bsky.social
We showed the SMAD3-PITX1 GRN drives this crosstalk. SMAD3 inhibition + neural activity boosts #GB growth in co-culture with glutamatergic neurons and in vivo.

Among the new #GRNs that we identified, #GABA signalling emerges as a previously unrecognised player in #glioblastoma.

Now we applied #MOBILE, a #ML based method, to integrate #multiomics data from #GB and uncovered new #GRNs and #TFs relevant for #glioblastoma pathogenesis.

Over a year ago in @natcomms.nature.com we showed how rewiring of #enhancer landscape & #3Dgenome underlies #neuron-to-glioma synaptic communication in #GB. SMAD3 & PITX1 emerged as key #TF and targeting them alters tumour growth.
