Inhibition of mutant PPM1D enhances DNA damage response and growth suppressive effects of ionizing radiation in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
4 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) succumb to disease within 2 years of diagnosis despite treatment with ionizing radiation (IR) and/or chemotherapy. Our aim was to determine the role of protein phosphatase, magnesium-dependent 1, delta (PPM1D) mutation, present in up to 25% of cases, in DIPG pathogenesis and treatment. METHODS: Using genetic and pharmacologic approaches, we assayed...
