Journal Article
Alfardus, H., de los Angeles Estevez Cebrero, M., Rowlinson, J., Lourdusamy, A., Abdelrazig, S., Ortori, C., …Smith, S. (2021). Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 15908. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-95289-9

While specific microRNA (miRNA) signatures have been identified in glioblastoma (GBM), the intratumour heterogeneity in miRNA expression has not yet been characterised. In this study, we reveal significant alterations in miRNA expression across three... Read More about Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism.

SINGLE-CELL RNA SEQUENCING IDENTIFIES A UNIQUE MYELOID SUBPOPULATION ASSOCIATED WITH MESENCHYMAL TUMOR SUBPOPULATION IN POOR OUTCOME PEDIATRIC EPENDYMOMA. Neuro-Oncology, 23(Supplement 1), i14-i15. https://doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noab090.057

We have previously shown immune gene phenotype variations between posterior fossa ependymoma subgroups. PFA1 tumors chronically secrete IL-6, which induces secretion of myeloid cell IL-8 and pushes the infiltrating myeloid cells to an immune suppress... Read More about EPEN-07.

We have previously shown the importance of immune factors in posterior fossa ependymoma (PF EPN). Recently, we found eight transcriptionally unique subpopulations of myeloid cells infiltrating PF EPN with one population particularly enriched in PFA1... Read More about EPEN-08.

Epen-23. A computational analysis of the tumour immune microenvironment in paediatric ependymoma (2020)
Journal Article

Ependymoma is the third commonest childhood brain tumour. Relapse is frequent, often fatal and current therapeutic strategies are inadequate. Previous ependymoma research describes an immunosuppressive environment with T-cell exhaustion, indicating a... Read More about Epen-23.

Epen-22. Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies upregulation of IKZF1 in PFA2 myeloid subpopulation driving an anti-tumor phenotype (2020)
Journal Article

Neuro-Oncology, 22(Supplement 3), iii312. https://doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noaa222.159

We have previously shown immune gene phenotype variations between posterior fossa ependymoma subgroups. PFA1 tumors chronically secrete IL-6, which pushes the infiltrating myeloid cells to an immune suppressive function. In contrast, PFA2 tumors have... Read More about Epen-22.

Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential. Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2(1), Article vdaa087. https://doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdaa087

Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with rapid subclonal diversification, harboring molecular abnormalities that vary temporo-spatially, a contributor to therapy resistance. Fluorescence guided neurosurgical resection ut... Read More about Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential.
