T1 |
98-180 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Malignant brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. |
T2 |
181-309 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the CNS (CNS-PNETs) are particularly aggressive embryonal tumors of unknown cellular origin. |
T3 |
310-564 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Recent genomic studies have classified CNS-PNETs into molecularly distinct subgroups that promise to improve diagnosis and treatment; however, the lack of cell- or animal-based models for these subgroups prevents testing of rationally designed therapies. |
T4 |
565-595 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Here, we show that a subset of |
T5 |
629-760 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
precursor cell (OPC) markers OLIG2 and SOX10 with coincident activation of the RAS/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway. |
T6 |
761-878 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Modeling NRAS activation in embryonic OPCs generated malignant brain tumors in zebrafish that closely mimic the human |
T7 |
909-960 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
subgroup by histology and comparative oncogenomics. |
T8 |
961-1134 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The zebrafish CNS-PNET model was used to show that MEK inhibitors selectively eliminate Olig2(+)/Sox10(+) CNS-PNET tumors in vivo without impacting normal brain development. |
T9 |
1135-1233 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Thus, MEK inhibitors represent a promising rationally designed therapy for children afflicted with |
