A novel case of glial transdifferentiation in renal medullary carcinoma brain metastasis by Maria A. Gubbiotti, Ian E. McCutcheon, Priya Rao, Giannicola Genovese, Linghua Wang, Artem Tarasov, Vladislav Putintsev, Amber Berlinski, Danil Stupichev, Kirill Kriukov, Suren Davitavyan, Basim Salem, Alexander Sarachakov, Dmitry Lebedev, Michael Hensley, Alexander Bagaev, Francesca Paradiso, Vladimir Kushnarev, Gleb Khegai, Nizar M. Tannir, Pavlos Msaouel

“…Therefore, given the common genetic signatures in the brain metastasis and the patient’s prior tumor, this case represents a rare event of glial transdifferentiation in a brain metastasis of renal medullary carcinoma following the use of an epigenetic modulator. As renal medullary carcinoma has been known to cleverly utilize adaptive mechanisms for survival, we propose that such cell plasticity seen in this case may have been provoked by the use of a drug that alters the epigenetic signature of the tumor cells. …”

IDH Mutant Cholangiocarcinoma: Pathogenesis, Management, and Future Therapies by Alexander Bray, Vaibhav Sahai

“…These neomorphic point mutations endow mutant IDH (mIDH) with the ability to generate an R-enantiomer of 2-hydroxyglutarate (R2HG), a metabolite that drives malignant transformation through aberrant epigenetic signaling. As a result, pharmacologic inhibition of mIDH has become an attractive therapeutic strategy in CCAs harboring this mutation. …”

Mechanisms of Alcohol-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Organ Injuries by Cheng Ji

“…Potential mechanisms that trigger the alcoholic ER stress response are directly or indirectly related to alcohol metabolism, which includes toxic acetaldehyde and homocysteine, oxidative stress, perturbations of calcium or iron homeostasis, alterations of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio, and abnormal epigenetic modifications. Interruption of the ER stress triggers is anticipated to have therapeutic benefits for alcoholic disorders.…”
