General description
Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are highly aggressive and difficult to treat tumors arising in the ventral pons of the brain stem. Despite therapeutic advances, DIPG is incurable and most patients, primarily children, die within 2 years of diagnosis. DIPG is one of the leading causes of death in children with brain tumors .
A somatic mutation of histone H3.3 resulting in a lysine 27 to methionine substitution (H3.3K27M) occurs in 60% of DIPG . In H3.3K27M DIPG patient samples, levels of H3K27 dimethylation (H3K27me2) and trimethylation (H3K27me3) are reduced globally. Expression of H3.3K27M was also shown to be associated with increased levels of H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and recruitment of bromodomain proteins at sites of active transcription . These epigenetic changes are thought to be important factors driving DIPG oncogenesis

SF7761 is a human glioma cell line derived by surgical biopsy from a young female H3.3K27M DIPG patient (5). The tumor cells were immortalized with hTERT (human telomerase ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase) using retroviral transduction. SF7761 cells are tumorigenic in athymic rodents with the tumor cells recapitulating the infiltrative growth of human brainstem gliomas (5, 6).
IMPORTANT NOTE: SF7761 are grown as neurospheres in suspension culture. Neurospheres are to be passaged using gentle mechanical trituration when they reach diameters of 200-500 um or through enzymatic dissociation.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive pediatric brainstem tumor characterized by rapid and uniform patient demise. A heterozygous point mutation of histone H3 occurs in more than 80% of these tumors and results in a lysine-to-methionine substitution

Pediatric brainstem gliomas often harbor oncogenic K27M mutation of histone H3.3. Here we show that GSKJ4 pharmacologic inhibition of K27 demethylase JMJD3 increases cellular H3K27 methylation in K27M tumor cells and demonstrate potent antitumor activity both in vitro against K27M
