| Popis: | Glioblastoma (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are highly infiltrative, incurable adult and pediatric brain tumors characterized by the presence of tumor stem-like cells. Although GBM and DIPG have different epigenetic drivers, we found increased expression of an epigenetic modifier and stem cell factor HMGA2 in both tumors by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. HMGA2 is a DNA-binding protein that regulates transcription during normal embryogenesis and in cancer stem cells. We hypothesized that HMGA2 contributes to high grade glioma tumorigenicity through its ability to alter the transcription of many genes. Lentiviral short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated reduction of HMGA2 in multiple patient-derived GBM cell lines significantly reduced invasion in transwell assay (shHMGA2 vs. shControl, P Citation Format: Harpreet Kaur, Sabeen Z.
