Metastasis at diagnosis is most often a marker of poor prognosis and the relapse incidence is higher in these children. Medulloblastoma relapse is almost always fatal and recurring cells have, apart from resistance to standard of care, acquired genetic and epigenetic changes that correlate with an increased dormancy state, cell state reprogramming and immune escape. Here, we review means to carefully study metastasis and relapse in preclinical models, in light of recently described molecular subgroups. We will exemplify how therapy resistance develops at the cellular level, in a specific niche or from therapy-induced secondary mutations. We further describe underlying molecular mechanisms on how tumors acquire the ability to promote leptomeningeal dissemination and discuss how they can establish therapy-resistant cell clones. Finally, we describe some of the ongoing clinical trials of high-risk medulloblastoma and suggest or discuss more individualized treatments that could be of benefit to specific subgroups.", "doi":

cause of death in patients with medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying recurrence could lead to more effective therapies for targeting tumor relapses. Here, we observed that SOX9, a transcription factor and stem cell/glial fate marker, is limited to rare, quiescent cells in high-risk medulloblastoma with MYC amplification. In paired primary-recurrent patient samples, SOX9-positive cells accumulated in medulloblastoma relapses. SOX9 expression anti-correlated with MYC expression in murine and human medulloblastoma cells. However, SOX9-positive cells were plastic and could give rise to a MYC high state. To follow relapse at the single-cell level, an inducible dual Tet model of medulloblastoma was developed, in which MYC expression was redirected in vivo from treatment-sensitive bulk cells to dormant SOX9-positive cells using doxycycline treatment. SOX9 was essential for relapse initiation and depended on suppression of MYC activity to promote therapy resistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and immune escape. p53 and DNA repair pathways were downregulated in recurrent tumors, whereas MGMT was upregulated. Recurrent tumor cells were found to be sensitive to treatment with an MGMT inhibitor and doxorubicin. These findings suggest that recurrence-specific targeting coupled with DNA repair inhibition comprises a potential therapeutic strategy in patients affected by medulloblastoma relapse.\n\nSOX9 facilitates therapy escape and recurrence in medulloblastoma via temporal inhibition of MYC/MYCN genes, revealing a strategy to specifically target SOX9-positive cells to prevent tumor relapse.", "doi": "10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-22-2108", "pmid": "36219398", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC9755969"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "709709"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T12:11:07.388Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T12:11:07.663Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "9dcdc4592a8c4e0dab74f807fc254b1b", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/9dcdc4592a8c4e0dab74f807fc254b1b.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/9dcdc4592a8c4e0dab74f807fc254b1b"}}, "title": "SOX9 Defines Distinct Populations of Cells in SHH Medulloblastoma but Is Not Required for Math1-Driven Tumor Formation.", "authors": [{"family": "Adolphe", "given": "Christelle", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "Millar", "given": "Amanda", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Kojic", "given": "Marija", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0001-6437-283X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/77e8f76b0a144796becbc1dab6da9205.json"}}, {"family": "Barkauskas", "given": "Deborah S", "initials": "DS"}, {"family": "Sundstr\u00f6m", "given": "Anders", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-3942-6271", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/63e6602d2807417684239b93eb065a26.json"}}, {"family": "Swartling", "given": "Fredrik J", "initials": "FJ", "orcid": "0000-0002-8460-4367", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/2e673fa8c86348fb8c1a2ae34ba7ba9a.json"}}, {"family": "Hediyeh-Zadeh", "given": "Soroor", "initials": "S", "orcid": "0000-0001-7513-6779", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/5a9996c51c9d43c6a40db9c46d213399.json"}}, {"family": "Tan", "given": "Chin Wee", "initials": "CW", "orcid": "0000-0001-9695-7218", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/5277887d70f84d1d98fa163ee066817a.json"}}, {"family": "Davis", "given": "Melissa J", "initials": "MJ", "orcid": "0000-0003-4864-7033", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/ca0ff39b0e06406d9bf637043b2e2221.json"}}, {"family": "Genovesi", "given": "Laura A", "initials": "LA", "orcid": "0000-0001-6277-8422", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/35c473636ad549d5a005b2680901551c.json"}}, {"family": "Wainwright", "given": "Brandon J", "initials": "BJ"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2021-11-00", "journal": {"title": "Mol.

The stem cell factor SOX9, has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma (SHH-MB) subgroup tumors, given its role as a downstream target of Hedgehog signaling and in functionally promoting SHH-MB metastasis and treatment resistance. However, the functional requirement for SOX9 in the genesis of medulloblastoma remains to be determined. Here we report a previously undocumented level of SOX9 expression exclusively in proliferating granule cell precursors (GCP) of the postnatal mouse cerebellum, which function as the medulloblastoma-initiating cells of SHH-MBs. Wild-type GCPs express comparatively lower levels of SOX9 than neural stem cells and mature astroglia and SOX9low GCP-like tumor cells constitute the bulk of both infant (Math1Cre:Ptch1 ) and adult (lox/loxPtch1 ) SHH-MB mouse models. Human medulloblastoma single-cell RNA data analyses reveal three distinct LacZ/+SOX9 populations present in SHH-MB and noticeably absent in other medulloblastoma subgroups: SOX9 + MATH1 + (GCP), SOX9 + GFAP + (astrocytes) and SOX9 + MATH1 + GFAP + (potential tumor-derived astrocytes). To functionally address whether SOX9 is required as a downstream effector of Hedgehog signaling in medulloblastoma tumor cells, we ablated Sox9 using a Math1Cre model system. Surprisingly, targeted ablation of Sox9 in GCPs (Math1Cre:Sox9 ) revealed no overt phenotype and loss of lox/loxSox9 in SHH-MB (Math1Cre:Ptch1 ) does not affect tumor formation. IMPLICATIONS: Despite preclinical data indicating SOX9 plays a key role in SHH-MB biology, our data argue against SOX9 as a viable therapeutic target.lox/lox;Sox9lox/lox", "doi": "10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-21-0117", "pmid": "34330843", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "1541-7786.MCR-21-0117"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T12:14:25.096Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T12:14:25.210Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "dffb9a243b2544118016c0930cbc08bd", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/dffb9a243b2544118016c0930cbc08bd.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/dffb9a243b2544118016c0930cbc08bd"}}, "title": "The Irradiated Brain Microenvironment Supports Glioma Stemness and Survival via Astrocyte-Derived Transglutaminase 2.", "authors": [{"family": "Berg", "given": "Tracy J", "initials": "TJ"}, {"family": "Marques", "given": "Carolina", "initials": "C", "orcid": "0000-0002-8308-5630", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/dc65829f36d243dc94f21a4650ed9c27.json"}}, {"family": "Pantazopoulou", "given": "Vasiliki", "initials": "V", "orcid": "0000-0002-5965-5795", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/b4e8f1e6335241148a153f34611d9145.json"}}, {"family": "Johansson", "given": "Elinn", "initials": "E"}, {"family": "von Stedingk", "given": "Kristoffer", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "Lindgren", "given": "David", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Jeannot", "given": "Pauline", "initials": "P", "orcid": "0000-0003-0158-440X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/167869db86f0456fbb7a535ae8d89b35.json"}}, {"family": "Pietras", "given": "Elin J", "initials": "EJ", "orcid": "0000-0002-5783-9347", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f9d48aa66cee48b9828c0ac374c75362.json"}}, {"family": "Bergstr\u00f6m", "given": "Tobias", "initials": "T", "orcid": "0000-0002-4557-2390", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/ad8f5ab0560d4b7596ddd5e407b96d8f.json"}}, {"family": "Swartling", "given": "Fredrik J", "initials": "FJ", "orcid": "0000-0002-8460-4367", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/2e673fa8c86348fb8c1a2ae34ba7ba9a.json"}}, {"family": "Governa", "given": "Valeria", "initials": "V"}, {"family": "Bengzon", "given": "Johan", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Belting", "given": "Mattias", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Axelson", "given": "H\u00e5kan", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "Squatrito", "given": "Massimo", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Pietras", "given": "Alexander", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-5783-9347", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f9d48aa66cee48b9828c0ac374c75362.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2021-04-15", "journal": {"title": "Cancer Res.", "issn": "1538-7445", "volume": "81", "issue": "8", "pages": "2101-2115", "issn-l": "0008-5472"}, "abstract": "The tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in supporting glioma stemness and radioresistance. Following radiotherapy, recurrent gliomas form in an irradiated microenvironment. Here we report that astrocytes, when pre-irradiated, increase stemness and survival of cocultured glioma cells. Tumor-na\u00efve brains increased reactive astrocytes in response to radiation, and mice subjected to radiation prior to implantation of glioma cells developed more aggressive tumors. Extracellular matrix derived from irradiated astrocytes were found to be a major driver of this phenotype and astrocyte-derived transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) was identified as a promoter of glioma stemness and radioresistance. TGM2 levels increased after radiation in vivo and in recurrent human glioma, and TGM2 inhibitors abrogated glioma stemness and survival. These data suggest that irradiation of the brain results in the formation of a tumor-supportive microenvironment. Therapeutic targeting of radiation-induced, astrocyte-derived extracellular matrix proteins may enhance the efficacy of standard-of-care radiotherapy by reducing stemness in glioma. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings presented here indicate that radiotherapy can result in a tumor-supportive microenvironment, the targeting of which may be necessary to overcome tumor cell therapeutic resistance and recurrence.

In this Review, we summarize recent advances derived from this continued molecular characterization of medulloblastoma and contextualize this progress towards the deployment of more effective, molecularly informed treatments for affected patients.", "doi": "10.1038/s41568-019-0223-8", "pmid": "31819232", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "mid", "key": "NIHMS1788973"}, {"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC9113832"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41568-019-0223-8"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T08:55:35.769Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T08:55:36.054Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "ca66623f75d44a9c91f1349be35a46a1", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/ca66623f75d44a9c91f1349be35a46a1.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/ca66623f75d44a9c91f1349be35a46a1"}}, "title": "Perturbation-based gene regulatory network inference to unravel oncogenic mechanisms", "authors": [{"family": "Morgan", "given": "Daniel", "initials": "D", "orcid": "0000-0001-8326-6178", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/2ae01d9b1d3c487eb66e5379b0faa35e.json"}}, {"family": "Studham", "given": "Matthew", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0001-9147-4882", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/a3686d0959484118916f9cd826b25d9a.json"}}, {"family": "Tj\u00e4rnberg", "given": "Andreas", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-0064-1791", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/2d4d51b0b08948cd8be856ec4c0a50b2.json"}}, {"family": "Weishaupt", "given": "Holger", "initials": "H", "orcid": "0000-0002-0364-2709", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/6ae643d4831f469c95c3d5b3955784ea.json"}}, {"family": "Swartling", "given": "Fredrik J", "initials": "FJ", "orcid": "0000-0002-8460-4367", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/2e673fa8c86348fb8c1a2ae34ba7ba9a.json"}}, {"family": "Nordling", "given": "Torbj\u00f6rn E M", "initials": "TEM", "orcid": "0000-0003-4867-6707", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/1ff2e55d28354900a39b69cb1de8c532.json"}}, {"family": "Sonnhammer", "given": "Erik L L", "initials": "ELL", "orcid": "0000-0002-9015-5588", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/8c4fb5f5a50a4dbb91bbea3cc6861ffa.json"}}], "type": "posted-content", "published": "2019-08-15", "journal": {"issn-l": null}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.1101/735514", "pmid": null, "labels": [], "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T11:14:40.679Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T11:14:40.832Z"}]}
