  • Neurons form synapses onto glioma cells, and depolarization of glioma membranes promotes glioma growth in vivo, whereas blocking electrochemical signalling blocks tumour growth.

  • In glioma, malignant synapses hijack mechanisms of synaptic plasticity to increase glutamate-dependent currents in tumour cells and the formation of neuron–glioma synapses, thereby promoting tumour proliferation and progression.

  • A phase I dose-escalation trial of GD2-CAR T cells in children and young adults with diffuse midline gliomas to assess the feasibility of manufacturing, safety and tolerability, and to preliminarily assess efficacy.

  • The authors summarize the data produced by phase III of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, a resource for better understanding of the human and mouse genomes.

  • This overview of the ENCODE project outlines the data accumulated so far, revealing that 80% of the human genome now has at least one biochemical function assigned to it; the newly identified functional elements should aid the interpretation of results of genome-wide association studies, as many correspond to sites of association with human disease.

  • Triple-negative breast cancer is highly heterogeneous and aggressive. Here, the authors utilise single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate this heterogeneity, and discover a subpopulation of cells associated with metastasis and treatment resistance signatures, and linked to long term survival outcomes.

  • Bradley Bernstein, Birgit Knoechel and colleagues identify super-enhancer translocations that drive overexpression of MYB in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). They find that MYB binds to the translocated enhancers and to other active enhancers that drive different regulatory programs in alternate cell lineages in ACC.

  • The growth of adult and paediatric brain tumours depends on a microenvironmental signalling pathway involving the activity-regulated secretion of neuroligin-3 (NLGN3) from normal neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells, highlighting the potential of NLGN3 as a therapeutic target.

  • This study describes the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression; the results annotate candidate regulatory elements in diverse tissues and cell types, their candidate regulators, and the set of human traits for which they show genetic variant enrichment, providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease.

  • An epigenetic mechanism in which gain-of-function IDH mutations promote gliomagenesis by disrupting chromosomal topology is presented, with IDH mutations causing the binding sites of the methylation-sensitive insulator CTCF to become hypermethylated; disruption of a CTCF boundary near the glioma oncogene PDGFRA allows a constitutive enhancer to contact and activate the oncogene aberrantly.

  • An in vivo RNA interference screening strategy in glioblastoma enabled the identification of a host of epigenetic targets required for glioblastoma cell survival that were not identified by parallel standard screening in cell culture, including the transcription pause–release factor JMJD6, and could be a powerful tool to uncover new therapeutic targets in cancer.

  • Charles Roberts, Peter Park, Bradley Bernstein and colleagues examine the consequences of SMARCB1 loss on enhancer landscapes in human rhabdoid tumors. They show that SMARCB1 is essential for the integrity and abundance of SWI/SNF complexes and facilitates their targeting to appropriate enhancers.
