Targeting an RNA Editor to Impede H3K27M+ Pediatric Gliomas

Christian Kieran Ramsoomair, Victoria Álvarez, Felipe Sarmiento, Manuela Aramburu Berckemeyer, Deepa Seetharam, Kajol Kalliecharan, Sreerag N. Moorkkannur, Jonathan Mitchell, Anna Hudson, Justin Taylor, Michele Ceccarelli, Defne Bayık, Oren Josh Becher, Rajeev Prabahakar, Scott M. Welford, , Ashish H Shah

This study identifies ADAR as a key mediator of immune evasion in H3K27M+ pediatric gliomas and shows that ATRA can induce ADAR degradation, enhancing antiviral responses and tumor immunogenicity.
