Abstract
Background Meningioma risk factors include older age, female sex, and African-American race. There are limited data exploring how meningioma risk in African-Americans varies across the lifespan, interacts with sex, and differs by tumor grade. Methods The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) is a population-based registry covering the entire U.S. population. Meningioma diagnoses from 2004-2019 were used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for non-Hispanic Black individuals (NHB) compared to non-Hispanic white individuals (NHW) across 10-year age intervals, and stratified by sex and by WHO tumor grade. Results 53,890 NHB individuals and 322,373 NHW individuals with an intracranial meningioma diagnosis were included in analyses. Beginning in young adulthood, the NHB-to-NHW IRR was elevated for both grade 1 and grade 2/3 tumors. The IRR peaked in the seventh decade of life regardless of grade, and was higher for grade 2/3 tumors (IRR=1.57; 95% CI: 1.46-1.69) than grade 1 tumors (IRR=1.27; 95% CI: 1.25-1.30) in this age group. The NHB-to-NHW IRR was elevated in females (IRR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.16-1.18) and further elevated in males (IRR=1.28; 95% CI: 1.26-1.30), revealing synergistic interaction between NHB race/ethnicity and male sex (P Interaction =0.001). Conclusions Relative to NHW individuals, NHB individuals are at elevated risk of meningioma from young adulthood through old age. NHB race/ethnicity conferred higher risk of meningioma among men than women, and higher risk of developing WHO grade 2/3 tumors. Results identify meningioma as a significant source of racial disparities in neuro-oncology and may help to improve preoperative predictions of meningioma grade.

Abstract
Meningiomas are the most prevalent primary intracranial tumors. The majority are benign but can undergo dedifferentiation into advanced grades classified by World Health Organization (WHO) into Grades 1 to 3. Meningiomas' tremendous variability in tumor behavior and slow growth rates complicate their diagnosis and treatment. A deeper comprehension of the molecular pathways and cellular microenvironment factors implicated in meningioma survival and pathology is needed. This review summarizes the known genetic and epigenetic aberrations involved in meningiomas, with a focus on neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and non-NF2 mutations. Novel potential biomarkers for meningioma diagnosis and prognosis are also discussed, including epigenetic-, RNA-, metabolomics-, and protein-based markers. Finally, the landscape of available meningioma-specific animal models is overviewed. Use of these animal models can enable planning of adjuvant treatment, potentially assisting in pre-operative and post-operative decision making. Discovery of novel biomarkers will allow, in combination with WHO grading, more precise meningioma grading, including meningioma identification, subtype determination, and prediction of metastasis, recurrence, and response to therapy. Moreover, these biomarkers may be exploited in the development of personalized targeted therapies that can distinguish between the 15 diverse meningioma subtypes.

Abstract
Microcephaly is often caused by an impairment of the generation of neurons in the brain, a process referred to as neurogenesis. While most neurogenesis in mammals occurs during brain development, it thought to continue to take place through adulthood in selected regions of the mammalian brain, notably the hippocampus. However, the generality of neurogenesis in the adult brain has been controversial. While studies in mice and rats have provided compelling evidence for neurogenesis occurring in the adult rodent hippocampus, the lack of applicability in humans of key methods to demonstrate neurogenesis has led to an intense debate about the existence and, in particular, the magnitude of neurogenesis in the adult human brain. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of a powerful method to address this debate, that is, the in vivo labeling of adult human patients with 15N-thymidine, a non-hazardous form of thymidine, an approach without any clinical harm or ethical concerns. 15N-thymidine incorporation into newly synthesized DNA of specific cells was quantified at the single-cell level with subcellular resolution by Multiple-isotype imaging mass spectrometry (MIMS) of brain tissue resected for medical reasons. Two adult human patients, a glioblastoma patient and a patient with drug-refractory right temporal lobe epilepsy, were infused for 24 h with 15N-thymidine. Detection of 15N-positive leukocyte nuclei in blood samples from these patients confirmed previous findings by others and demonstrated the appropriateness of this approach to search for the generation of new cells in the adult human brain. 15N-positive neural cells were easily identified in the glioblastoma tissue sample, and the range of the 15N signal suggested that cells that underwent S-phase fully or partially during the 24 h in vivo labeling period, as well as cells generated therefrom, were detected. In contrast, within the hippocampus tissue resected from the epilepsy patient, none of the 2,000 dentate gyrus neurons analyzed was positive for 15N-thymidine uptake, consistent with the notion that the rate of neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus is rather low. Of note, the likelihood of detecting neurogenesis was reduced because of (i) the low number of cells analyzed, (ii) the fact that hippocampal tissue was explored that may have had reduced neurogenesis due to epilepsy, and (iii) the labeling period of 24 h which may have been too short to capture quiescent neural stem cells. Yet, overall, our approach to enrich NeuN-labeled neuronal nuclei by FACS prior to MIMS analysis provides a promising strategy to quantify even low rates of neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus after in vivo15N-thymidine infusion. From a general point of view and regarding future perspectives, the in vivo labeling of humans with 15N-thymidine followed by MIMS analysis of brain tissue constitutes a novel approach to study mitotically active cells and their progeny in the brain, and thus allows a broad spectrum of studies of brain physiology and pathology, including microcephaly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of newly diagnosed meningiomas, particularly those diagnosed incidentally, is continually increasing. The indication for treatment is empirical because, despite numerous studies, the natural history of these tumours remains difficult to describe and predict. METHODS This retrospective single-centre study included 294 consecutive patients with 333 meningiomas who underwent three or more brain imaging scans. Linear, exponential, power, and Gompertz models were constructed to derive volume-time curves, by using a mixed-effect approach. The most accurate model was used to analyse tumour growth and predictors of rapid growth. FINDINGS The Gompertz model provided the best results. Hierarchical clustering at the time of diagnosis and at the end of follow-up revealed at least three distinct groups, which can be described as pseudoexponential, linear, and slowing growth with respect to their parameters. Younger patients and smaller tumours were more frequent in the pseudo-exponential clusters. We found that the more "aggressive" the cluster, the higher the proportion of patients with grade II meningiomas and who have had a cranial radiotherapy. Over a mean observation period of 56.5 months, 21% of the tumours moved to a cluster with a lower growth rate, consistent with the Gompertz's law. INTERPRETATION Meningiomas exhibit multiple growth phases, as described by the Gompertz model. The management of meningiomas should be discussed according to the growth phase, comorbidities, tumour location, size, and growth rate. Further research is needed to evaluate the associations between radiomics features and the growth phases of meningiomas. FUNDING No funding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After meningioma surgery, approximately 1 in 3 patients will have residual tumor that requires ongoing imaging surveillance. The precise volumetric growth rates of these tumors are unknown. OBJECTIVE To identify the volumetric growth rates of residual meningioma, growth trajectory, and factors associated with progression. METHODS Patients with residual meningioma identified at a tertiary neurosurgery center between 2004 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor volume was measured using manual segmentation, after surgery and at every follow-up MRI scan. Growth rates were ascertained using a linear mixed-effects model and nonlinear regression analysis of growth trajectories. Progression was defined according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria (40% volume increase). RESULTS There were 236 patients with residual meningioma. One hundred and thirty-two patients (56.0%) progressed according to the RANO criteria, with 86 patients being conservatively managed (65.2%) after progression. Thirteen patients (5.5%) developed clinical progression. Over a median follow-up of 5.3 years (interquartile range, 3.5-8.6 years), the absolute growth rate was 0.11 cm 3 per year and the relative growth rate 4.3% per year. Factors associated with residual meningioma progression in multivariable Cox regression analysis were skull base location (hazard ratio [HR] 1.60, 95% CI 1.02-2.50) and increasing Ki-67 index (HR 3.43, 95% CI 1.19-9.90). Most meningioma exhibited exponential and logistic growth patterns (median R 2 value 0.84, 95% CI 0.60-0.90). CONCLUSION Absolute and relative growth rates of residual meningioma are low, but most meet the RANO criteria for progression. Location and Ki-67 index can be used to stratify adjuvant treatment and surveillance paradigms.

Abstract
Physiological liver cell replacement is central to maintaining the organ's high metabolic activity, although its characteristics are difficult to study in humans. Using retrospective radiocarbon (14C) birth dating of cells, we report that human hepatocytes show continuous and lifelong turnover, allowing the liver to remain a young organ (average age <3 years). Hepatocyte renewal is highly dependent on the ploidy level. Diploid hepatocytes show more than 7-fold higher annual birth rates than polyploid hepatocytes. These observations support the view that physiological liver cell renewal in humans is mainly dependent on diploid hepatocytes, whereas polyploid cells are compromised in their ability to divide. Moreover, cellular transitions between diploid and polyploid hepatocytes are limited under homeostatic conditions. With these findings, we present an integrated model of homeostatic liver cell generation in humans that provides fundamental insights into liver cell turnover dynamics.

Abstract
The human amygdala is involved in processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses. Previous studies suggested that the amygdala may represent a neurogenic niche in mammals. By combining two distinct methodological approaches, lipofuscin quantification and 14C-based retrospective birth dating of neurons, along with mathematical modelling, we here explored whether postnatal neurogenesis exists in the human amygdala. We investigated post-mortem samples of twelve neurologically healthy subjects. The average rate of lipofuscin-negative neurons was 3.4%, representing a substantial proportion of cells substantially younger than the individual. Mass spectrometry analysis of genomic 14C-concentrations in amygdala neurons compared with atmospheric 14C-levels provided evidence for postnatal neuronal exchange. Mathematical modelling identified a best-fitting scenario comprising of a quiescent and a renewing neuronal population with an overall renewal rate of >2.7% per year. In conclusion, we provide evidence for postnatal neurogenesis in the human amygdala with cell turnover rates comparable to the hippocampus. Lipofuscin labeling and 14 C retrospective birth-dating of neurons, along with mathematical modelling, here suggest continued postnatal neurogenesis in the human amygdala, rather than protracted maturation of developmentally generated neurons.

[PMID: 33974984 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.04.138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Histologic grade has important implications for the management in meningioma. It is important to understand the risk of high-grade meningioma (grades II and III). In this article, we systematically reviewed the histologic grade of meningioma depending on the location and sex and its relationship with recurrence. METHODS The PubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched until February 4, 2020. We included studies that were not restricted to specific anatomic locations, histologic grade, or the sizes of the tumors. The proportion of high-grade meningiomas depending on the location and sex and the odds ratio (OR) of recurrence were pooled using a random-effects model. RESULTS Outcome data were analyzed for 20,336 tumors from 34 studies. We found different proportions of high-grade meningiomas in the brain (12.8%) (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.5%-15.1%) versus the spine (2.4%) (95% CI, 1.0%-3.7%) (P < 0.01). Skull base meningiomas (8.7%) (95% CI, 5.8%-11.6%) had a lower proportion of high-grade meningiomas than non-skull base meningiomas (16.5%) (95% CI, 11.9%-21.1%) (P < 0.01). In addition, high-grade meningiomas were more likely to occur in male patients (18.0%) (95% CI, 10.1%-25.9%) than female patients (7.0%) (95% CI, 3.5%-10.6%) (P = 0.01). Higher rates of recurrence (OR = 13.83) were confirmed for high-grade meningiomas than grade I meningiomas (95% CI, 4.10-46.65) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis found that intracranial, nonskull base, and male sex are risk factors for high-grade meningioma, and high-grade meningioma had a much higher recurrence rate as compared with grade I meningioma.

Abstract
Benign, small, and asymptomatic World Health Organization grade I meningiomas are usually managed expectantly with surveillance imaging with the assumption that they are predictably slowing growing. In this paper, we report the case of an incidentally discovered small, right-sided posterior clinoid meningioma in a 53-year-old female. The tumor was managed conservatively but an annual surveillance magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the meningioma had an unexpected significant growth impinging on the brainstem, requiring surgical resection and radiosurgery for residual tumor. Despite histopathological confirmation of a grade I meningioma, the tumor recurred significantly and incurred substantial neurological deficits, requiring further surgery and radiotherapy. This report illustrates the potential pitfall for expectant management of small meningiomas in anatomically precarious locations and draws attention to the need for detailed informed discussions with patients regarding the management of these tumors.

Abstract
Adult pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) have been regarded as indistinguishable from pediatric PAs in terms of genome-wide expression and methylation patterns. It has been unclear whether adult PAs arise early in life and remain asymptomatic until adulthood, or whether they develop during adulthood. We sought to determine the age and origin of adult human PAs using two types of "marks" in the genomic DNA. First, we analyzed the DNA methylation patterns of adult and pediatric PAs to distinguish between PAs of different anatomic locations (n = 257 PA and control brain tissues). Second, we measured the concentration of nuclear bomb test-derived 14C in genomic DNA (n = 14 cases), which indicates the time point of the formation of human cell populations. Our data suggest that adult and pediatric PAs developing in the infratentorial brain are closely related and potentially develop from precursor cells early in life, whereas supratentorial PAs might show age and location-specific differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mathematical modeling of tumor growth draws interest from the medical community as they have the potential to improve patients' care and the use of public health resources. The main objectives of this work are to model the growth of meningiomas - slow-growing benign tumors requiring extended imaging follow-up - and to predict tumor volume and shape at a later desired time using only two times examinations. METHODS We develop two variants of a 3D partial differential system of equations (PDE) which yield after a spatial integration systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE) that relate tumor volume with time. Estimation of models parameters is a crucial step to obtain a personalized model for a patient that can be used for descriptive or predictive purposes. As PDE and ODE systems share the same parameters, they are both estimated by fitting the ODE systems to the tumor volumes obtained from MRI examinations acquired at different times. A population approach allows to compensate for sparse sampling times and measurement uncertainties by constraining the variability of the parameters in the population. RESULTS Description capabilities of the models are investigated in 39 patients with benign asymptomatic meningiomas who had had at least three surveillance MRI examinations. The two models can fit to the data accurately and more realistically than a naive linear regression. Prediction performances are validated for 33 patients using a population approach. Mean relative errors in volume predictions are less than 10% with ODE systems versus 12.5% with the naive linear model using only two times examinations. Concerning the shape, the mean Sørensen-Dice coefficients are 85% with the PDE systems in a subset of 10 representative patients. CONCLUSIONS Our strategy - based on personalization of mathematical model - provides a good insight on meningioma growth and may help decide whether to extend the follow-up or to treat the tumor.

Abstract
Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system. Given the fact that the majority of meningiomas are benign, the preoperative risk stratification and treatment strategy decision-making highly rely on the conventional subjective radiologic evaluation. However, this traditional diagnostic and treatment modality may not be effective in patients with aggressive-growing tumors or symptomatic patients with potential risk of recurrence after surgical resection or radiotherapy, as this passive “wait and see” strategy could miss the optimal opportunity of intervention. Radiomics, a new rising discipline, translates high-dimensional image information into abundant mathematical data by multiple computational algorithms. It provides an objective and quantitative approach to interpret the imaging data, rather than the subjective and qualitative interpretation from relatively limited human visual observation. In fact, the enormous amount of information generated by radiomics analyses provides radiological to histopathological tumor information, which are visually imperceptible, and offers technological basis to its applications amid diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Here, we review the latest advancements of radiomics and its applications in the prediction of the pathological grade, pathological subtype, recurrence possibility, and differential diagnosis of meningiomas, and the potential and challenges in general clinical applications. In this review, we highlight the generalization of shared radiomic features among different studies and compare different performances of popular algorithms. At last, we discuss several possible aspects of challenges and future directions in the development of radiomic applications in meningiomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the reported ADC values in different meningiomas and to analyze associations between ADC and cell count and proliferation activity in this tumor entity. METHOD MEDLINE library and SCOPUS database were screened for papers investigating ADC values of meningiomas up November 2019. The first primary endpoint of the systematic review was the reported ADC mean value of the meningioma groups. The second primary endpoint was the correlation coefficient between ADC values and proliferation index Ki 67 and cellularity. RESULTS For the discrimination analysis between benign and high grade meningioma 17 studies were suitable. There were 766 grade I tumors and 289 high grade meningiomas. The calculated mean ADC value of the benign grade I tumors was 0.93 × 10-3mm2/s [95%-Confidence interval 0.84;1.03] and the mean value of the high-grade tumors was 0.77 × 10-3mm2/s [95%-Confidence interval 0.73-0.80]. The pooled correlation coefficient between ADC and the proliferation index Ki 67 was r = -0.36 [95% CI -0.43; -0.28]. The pooled correlation coefficient between ADC and cellularity was r = -0.43 [95% CI -0.61; - 0.26]. CONCLUSION No validated ADC threshold can be recommended for distinguishing benign from high grade meningiomas. Only a moderate inverse correlation was identified between ADC values and tumor microstructure in meningiomas and, therefore, ADC might not accurately enough to predict proliferation potential and cellularity in this entity.

Abstract
The archetypal imaging characteristics of meningiomas are among the most stereotypic of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In the era of plain film and ventriculography, imaging was only performed if a mass was suspected, and their results were more suggestive than definitive. Following more than a century of technological development, we can now rely on imaging to non-invasively diagnose meningioma with great confidence and precisely delineate the locations of these tumors relative to their surrounding structures to inform treatment planning. Asymptomatic meningiomas may be identified and their growth monitored over time; moreover, imaging routinely serves as an essential tool to survey tumor burden at various stages during the course of treatment, thereby providing guidance on their effectiveness or the need for further intervention. Modern radiological techniques are expanding the power of imaging from tumor detection and monitoring to include extraction of biologic information from advanced analysis of radiological parameters. These contemporary approaches have led to promising attempts to predict tumor grade and, in turn, contribute prognostic data. In this supplement article, we review important current and future aspects of imaging in the diagnosis and management of meningioma, including conventional and advanced imaging techniques using CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine.

Abstract
The cavernous sinus is a complex structure susceptible to a wide variety of vascular, neoplastic and inflammatory pathologies. Vascular pathologies include ICA aneurysms, carotid-cavernous fistulas, cavernous sinus thrombosis, and cavernous hemangioma. Neoplasms that involve the cavernous sinus include pituitary adenoma, meningioma, schwannoma, lymphoma, perineural tumor spread, metastases, and direct tumor invasion. Infectious and inflammatory diseases include Tolosa-Hunt syndrome, sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, IgG-4 related disease and invasive fungal infections. In this article, we review the clinical and imaging findings of a number of pathologies involving the cavernous sinus, focusing on key features that can narrow the differential diagnosis and, in some cases, support a particular diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND E-cadherin and Fascin are adhesive proteins that are expressed in many tumors. It was supposed that loss of expression of these proteins is associated with increased aggressiveness of the tumor. Whether spinal and intracranial meningiomas express adhesion proteins in different rates is not yet known. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the expression of E-cadherin and Fascin in a large number of meningioma specimens and determine if clinical and prognostic significance existsMETHODS: One hundred and thirty-four spinal and intracranial meningioma samples were collected. Manual TMA blocks were constructed and immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin and Fascin was done. Focal or diffuse staining was considered positive. RESULTS Intracranial meningioma occurred in significantly younger age than spinal ones. Most of spinal meningiomas were of transitional histology. E-cadherin was expressed in 38.8% of cases. Spinal meningiomas showed statistically significant negative expression of E-cadherin than intracranial tumors. All atypical meningiomas showed negative E-cadherin expression. Fascin was expressed in 9% of cases with significant expression in atypical cases. CONCLUSIONS Aggressive behavior of meningioma could be explained in part by loss of E-cadherin and overexpression of Fascin especially in spinal meningiomas. Further studies are suggested to explore the biological aspects of spinal and intracranial meningiomas for constructing tailored targeted therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraosseous growth is a unique feature of sphenoorbital meningiomas (SOM). Its close relation to neurovascular structures limits complete surgical resection and possibly contributes to the high recurrence rate. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the growth behavior of intraosseous remnants and develop a protocol for precise intraoperative visualization of intraosseous SOM. METHODS We included 31 patients operated for SOM from 2004 to 2017. The growth velocity of the intraosseous tumor component was volumetrically calculated in 20 cases. To improve accuracy of image guidance, we implemented a specialized bone surface-based registration algorithm. For intraoperative bone visualization, we included CT in multimodality continuous image guidance in 23 patients. The extent of resection (EOR) was compared with a standard MR-only navigation group (n = 8). RESULTS In 11/20 cases (55%), a progressive regrowth of the intraosseous SOM remnant was noted during a mean follow-up of 52 months (range 20-132 months). We observed a mean increase of 6.2 cm3 (range 0.2-23.7 cm3) per patient and side during the follow-up period. Bone surface-based registration was significantly more accurate than skin surface-based registration (mean 0.7 ± 0.4 mm and 1.9 ± 0.7 mm, p < 0.001). The EOR of the intraosseous component was significantly higher using CT + MRI navigation compared with controls (96% vs. 81%, p = 0.044). CONCLUSION Quantitative assessment of the biological behavior of intraosseous remnants revealed a continuous slow growth rate independent of the soft tumor component of more than half of SOM. According to our data, application of a multimodal image guidance provided high accuracy and significantly increased the resection rate of the intraosseous component of SOM.

Circulating Tumor Biomarkers in Meningiomas Reveal a Signature of Equilibrium Between Tumor Growth and Immune Modulation. Front Oncol 2019; 9:1031.

Abstract
Meningiomas are primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors that originate from the arachnoid cells of the meninges. Recurrence occurs in higher grade meningiomas and a small subset of Grade I meningiomas with benign histology. Currently, there are no established circulating tumor markers which can be used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in a non-invasive way for meningiomas. Here, we aimed to identify potential biomarkers of meningioma in patient sera. For this purpose, we collected preoperative (n = 30) serum samples from the meningioma patients classified as Grade I (n = 23), Grade II (n = 4), or Grade III (n = 3). We used a high-throughput, multiplex immunoassay cancer panel comprising of 92 cancer-related protein biomarkers to explore the serum protein profiles of meningioma patients. We detected 14 differentially expressed proteins in the sera of the Grade I meningioma patients in comparison to the age- and gender-matched control subjects (n = 12). Compared to the control group, Grade I meningioma patients showed increased serum levels of amphiregulin (AREG), CCL24, CD69, prolactin, EGF, HB-EGF, caspase-3, and decreased levels of VEGFD, TGF-α, E-Selectin, BAFF, IL-12, CCL9, and GH. For validation studies, we utilized an independent set of meningioma tumor tissue samples (Grade I, n = 20; Grade II, n = 10; Grade III, n = 6), and found that the expressions of amphiregulin and Caspase3 are significantly increased in all grades of meningiomas either at the transcriptional or protein level, respectively. In contrast, the gene expression of VEGF-D was significantly lower in Grade I meningioma tissue samples. Taken together, our study identifies a meningioma-specific protein signature in blood circulation of meningioma patients and highlights the importance of equilibrium between tumor-promoting factors and anti-tumor immunity.

Selective vulnerability of the primitive meningeal layer to prenatal Smo activation for skull base meningothelial meningioma formation. Oncogene 2018; 37:4955-4963. [PMID: 29789719 DOI: 10.1038/s41388-018-0328-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2017] [Revised: 02/18/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Somatic activating mutations of smoothened (SMO), a component of the embryonic sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway, are found in 3-5% of grade I meningiomas, most of them corresponding to meningothelial meningiomas located at the anterior skull base. By generating different developmental stage-specific conditional activations in mice, we define a restricted developmental window during which conditional activation of Smo in Prostaglandin D2-synthase-positive mesoderm-derived meningeal layer of the skull base results in meningothelial meningioma formation. We show a selective vulnerability of the arachnoid from the skull base to Smo activation to initiate tumor development. This prenatal period and specific topography are correlated to the timing and location of SHH signaling involvement in the formation of craniofacial and meninges patterning, strongly corroborating the hypothesis of a developmental origin for Smo-activated meningiomas. Finally, we provide preclinical in vitro evidence of the efficacy of the SMO-inhibitor Sonidegib, supporting further preclinical and clinical evaluation of targeted treatment for refractory SMO-mutant meningiomas.
