Multi-omics approaches reveal that diffuse midline gliomas present altered DNA replication and are susceptible to replication stress therapy.
Article in Genome biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe fatal diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) are characterized by an undruggable H3K27M mutation in H3.1 or H3.3. K27M impairs normal development by stalling differentiation. The identification of targetable pathways remains very poorly explored. Toward this goal, we undertake a multi-omics approach to evaluate replication timing profiles, transcriptomics, and cell cycle features in DMG cells from both H3.1K27M and H3.3K27M subgroups and perform a comparative, integrative data analysis with healthy brain tissue.
resultsDMG cells present differential replication timing in each subgroup, which, in turn, correlates with significant differential gene expression. Differentially expressed genes in S phase are involved in various pathways related to DNA replication. We detect increased expression of DNA replication genes earlier in the cell cycle in DMG cell lines compared to normal brain cells. Furthermore, the distance between origins of replication in DMG cells is smaller than in normal brain cells and their fork speed is slower, a read-out of replication stress. Consistent with these findings, DMG tumors present high replication stress signatures in comparison to normal brain cells. Finally, DMG cells are specifically sensitive to replication stress therapy.
conclusionsThis whole genome multi-omics approach provides insights into the cell cycle regulation of DMG via the H3K27M mutations and establishes a pharmacologic vulnerability in DNA replication, which resolves a potentially novel therapeutic strategy for this non-curable disease.
