Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are among the most aggressive and recalcitrant cancers, with extremely low survival rates. Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) with histone H3 lysine27-to-methionine mutations (H3K27M glioma) represent a highly aggressive subtype of glioma, which predominantly arise in children and young adults. The overall prognosis of H3K27M glioma is poor, displaying median survival rates of approximately 9 to 11 months.2 Aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway via PTEN silencing is a contributor to tumorigenesis in most pHG and DIP gliomas.
The BCH869 H3K27M glioma cell line is a representative model for H3K27M diffuse glioma. BCH869 cells grow as neurospheres and carry mutations in oncogenes ACVR1, PIK3CA, and PPM1D in addition to H3K27M mutation.3 BCH869 cells express EGFR, a common glioma marker, and have been validated via staining for the H3.3 K27M oncohistone mutant. BCH869 cell line has been used in the investigation of radiosensitization factors and tumorigenesis pathways, and is a highly clinically relevant model for this especially serious form of pediatric glioma.

Storage and Stability

The cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting functionality.
