Resumen:
Purpose: Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are the most fatal primary brainstem tumors in pediatric patients. The identification of new molecular features, mediating their formation and progression, as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), would be of great importance for the development of effective treatments. Methods: We analyzed the DIPGs transcriptome with the HTA2.0 array and it was compared with pediatric non-brainstem astrocytoma expression profiles (GSE72269). Results: More than 50% of the differentially expressed transcripts were ncRNAs and based on this, we proposed a DIPGs ncRNA signature. LncRNAs XIST and XIST-210, and the HBII-52 and HBII-85 snoRNA clusters were markedly downregulated in DIPGs. qPCR assays demonstrated XIST downregulation in all non-brainstem astrocytomas, in a gender, age, and brain location-independent manner, as well as in DIPGs affecting boys; however, DIPGs affecting girls showed both downregulation and upregulation of XIST. Girls’ with longer survival positively correlated with XIST expression. Conclusions: The involvement of ncRNAs in DIPGs is imminent and their expression profile is useful to differentiate them from non-neoplastic tissues and non-brain stem astrocytomas, which suggests their potential use as DIPG biomarkers. In fact, XIST and XIST-210 are potential DIPG prognostic biomarkers. © 2020, Federación de Sociedades Españolas de Oncología (FESEO).
