Standards of care for meningioma include surgical resection and radiotherapy whereas pharmacotherapy plays almost no role in this disease. We generated primary cultures from surgically removed meningiomas to explore the activity of a novel cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, TG02, in meningioma cell cultures. Tumor and cell cultures were characterized by mutation profiling and DNA methylation profiling. DNA methylation data were used to allot each sample to one out of six previously established meningioma methylation classes: benign (ben)-1, 2, 3, intermediate (int)-A, B, and malignant (mal). Four tumors assigned to the methylation class ben-2 showed the same class in culture whereas cultures from five non-ben-2 tumors showed a more malignant class in four patients. Cell cultures were uniformly sensitive to TG02 in the nanomolar range. Assignment of the cell cultures to a more malignant methylation class appeared to be more closely associated with TG02 sensitivity than assignment to a higher WHO grade of the primary tumors. Primary cell cultures from meningioma facilitate the investigation of the anti-meningioma activity of novel agents. TG02, an orally available cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, warrants further exploration.

Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a high-risk malignancy due to its high capacity for invasion and lack of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy continues to demonstrate efficacy in a variety of cancers, and thus may be a promising strategy for TNBC given the limited therapeutic options currently available for TNBC. In this study, we performed a comprehensive portrait of immunologic landscape of TNBC based on 2 large-scale breast cancer genomic data. Methods We compared expression levels of immune-related genes and gene-sets among TNBC, non-TNBC, and normal tissue, and within TNBCs of different genotypic or phenotypic features. Moreover, we explored the association of immune-related genes or gene-sets expression and survival prognosis in TNBC patients. Results We found that almost all analyzed immune-related gene-sets had significantly higher expression levels in TNBC than non-TNBC. These highly expressed gene-sets in TNBC included 15 immune cell type and function, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), cancer testis (CT), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), immune cell infiltrate, regulatory T (Treg) cells, immune checkpoint, cytokine and cytokine receptor, metastasis-promoting, pro-inflammatory and parainflammation (PI) gene-sets. Moreover, TP53-mutated, TNBC had significantly higher expression levels of the immune checkpoint, Treg, PI, and CT gene-sets, and lower expression levels of the immune cell infiltrate gene-set than TP53-wildtype TNBC. Furthermore, we found that elevated expression of most of the immune-related genes in TNBC was associated with the ER-status, while some were associated with both ER-and HER2-status. Elevated expression of the immune-related genes in TNBC was also associated with the high tumor mutation burden (TMB) in TNBC. Finally, elevated expression of the immune-related gene-sets was likely to be associated with better survival prognosis in TNBC. Conclusions Our findings suggest that TNBC is a breast cancer subtype with particularly strong immunogenicity, and therefore could be propitious to immunotherapeutic options.
