H3K27me3 loss indicates an increased risk of recurrence in the Tübingen meningioma cohort

Abstract: Background A loss of the trimethylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3) in meningioma has been recently suggested as an adjunct to identify subsets of higher risk of recurrence. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of H3K27 histone trimethylation and its potential clinical utility in the “Tübingen meningioma cohort”. Methods Patients who underwent meningioma resection between 10/2003 and 1/220… Show more

“…On a molecular level, tumors can be roughly dichotomized as NF2 (neurofibromatosis type 2) and non-NF2-mutated meningiomas, and NF2 is the main identified driver mutation in atypical meningiomas [9,10]. Mutations of the promotor of the telomere reverse transcriptase (TERT), loss of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) and loss of the trimethylation of lysin 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), were identified as negative prognostic markers independent of tumor histology [11][12][13][14].…”

“…We have therefore used a computerized quantification method to control for an interobserver bias and to obtain continual numerical values. We have recently demonstrated the independent significant prognostic impact of quantified MIB1 expression in our meningioma cohort [20].…”

“…We have therefore used a computerized quantification method to control for an interobserver bias and to obtain continual numerical values. We have recently demonstrated the independent significant prognostic impact of quantified Ki67 expression in our meningioma cohort [ 23 ]. However, it must be kept in mind, that Ki67 positivity may also include proliferating inflammatory cells and therefore may suggest falsely increased proliferation characteristics.…”
