Locoregional delivery of CAR T cells to the cerebrospinal fluid for treatment of metastatic medulloblastoma and ependymoma

…, L Garzia, SC Mack, S Varadharajan… - Nature medicine, 2020 - nature.com
Recurrent medulloblastoma and ependymoma are universally lethal, with no approved
targeted therapies and few candidates presently under clinical evaluation. Nearly all recurrent …

K27M in canonical and noncanonical H3 variants occurs in distinct oligodendroglial cell lineages in brain midline gliomas

…, AS Harutyunyan, M Hulswit, S Varadharajan… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Canonical (H3.1/H3.2) and noncanonical (H3.3) histone 3 K27M-mutant gliomas have unique
spatiotemporal distributions, partner alterations and molecular profiles. The contribution of …

ZFTA–RELA dictates oncogenic transcriptional programs to drive aggressive supratentorial ependymoma

A Arabzade, Y Zhao, S Varadharajan, HC Chen… - Cancer discovery, 2021 - AACR
Ependymomas are aggressive brain tumors. Although drivers of supratentorial ependymoma
( ZFTA - and YAP1 -associated gene fusions) have been discovered, their functions remain …

Loss of MAT2A compromises methionine metabolism and represents a vulnerability in H3K27M mutant glioma by modulating the epigenome

BJ Golbourn, ME Halbert, K Halligan, S Varadharajan… - Nature cancer, 2022 - nature.com
Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) bearing driver mutations of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27M)
are incurable brain tumors with unique epigenomes. Here, we generated a syngeneic …

A High-Quality Assembly of the Nine-Spined Stickleback (Pungitius pungitius) Genome

S Varadharajan, P Rastas, A Löytynoja… - Genome Biology and …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
The Gasterosteidae fish family hosts several species that are important models for eco-evolutionary,
genetic, and genomic research. In particular, a wealth of genetic and genomic data …

ZFTA Translocations Constitute Ependymoma Chromatin Remodeling and Transcription Factors

…, M Widdess, A Arabzade, Y Zhao, S Varadharajan… - Cancer discovery, 2021 - AACR
Ependymomas are hard-to-treat brain tumors driven by translocations between ZFTA and a
variety of transcriptional coactivators. We dissect the transforming mechanism of these fusion …

The grayling genome reveals selection on gene expression regulation after whole-genome duplication

S Varadharajan, SR Sandve, GB Gillard… - Genome biology and …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has been a major evolutionary driver of increased genomic
complexity in vertebrates. One such event occurred in the salmonid family ∼80 Ma (Ss4R…

Switching on the light: using metagenomic shotgun sequencing to characterize the intestinal microbiome of Atlantic cod

…, THA Haverkamp, S Varadharajan… - Environmental …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is an ecologically important species with a wide‐spread
distribution in the North Atlantic Ocean, yet little is known about the diversity of its intestinal …

Metagenomic shotgun analyses reveal complex patterns of intra-and interspecific variation in the intestinal microbiomes of codfishes

…, THA Haverkamp, S Varadharajan… - Applied and …, 2020 - Am Soc Microbiol
The relative importance of host-specific selection or environmental factors in determining
the composition of the intestinal microbiome in wild vertebrates remains poorly understood. …

Sox9 directs divergent epigenomic states in brain tumor subtypes

…, HC Chen, A Reyes, S Varadharajan… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Epigenetic dysregulation is a universal feature of cancer that results in altered patterns of
gene expression that drive malignancy. Brain tumors exhibit subtype-specific epigenetic …
