Abstract excerpt
Hyperactivation of glucose metabolism to lactate is a metabolic hallmark of cancer. However, the functional role of lactate in pediatric diffuse midline glioma (DMG) cells is unclear. Here, using stable isotope tracing and loss-of-function studies in clinically relevant patient-derived DMG models, we show that the oncogenic histone H3K27M mutation epigenetically up-regulates the rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme...
