What is Medulloblastoma?
• Tumor of the Cerebellum• Affects Children– Ataxia: Balance Problems
• Treatment– Chemo/Radiation Therapy– Surgery

Genetic Components of Medulloblastoma
Gorlin Syndrome
• Ptc Mutation
--> OVERPROLIFERATION
• Children with this disease have a higher incidence of MB

Cerebellar Development• 2 Germinal Zones– VZ: Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) reside– Rhombic Lip/EGL: Granule Neuron Precursors
(GNPs) reside
Region Specific Markers:- BLBP: Bergmann Glia from VZ cells- Olig2: Transcription factor in GCPs of RL- Math1 is in RL and EGL

Our Question:• Do tumor cells express stem cell markers?
Origin of Medulloblastoma:Neural Stem Cells (NSCs)
vs.Granule Cell Precursors (GCPs)
TOOL:
Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers in Mice (MADM)

Experimental Design
• Dissociation of MB Tissue– Dissection of mice and cerebellum
• Cell Culture– Tumors of different cell lines: 8619 and 9130
• Antibody Staining– Use of markers: BLBP and Olig2
• Confocal Imaging/Analysis

Summary
• Increase in MARKER+ cells from primary to secondary is PROPORTIONAL to decrease in MARKER- cells from primary to secondary.
• This proportion is maintained between the tumors.
• Though the proportion is similar, the INITIAL EXPRESSION LEVELS in the cells vary.
![Page 15: Finding the Cell of Origin in Medulloblastoma Amanda Bahe The University of Arizona Hui Zong Lab Mentor: Brit Ventura](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649edf5503460f94bef987/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conclusion•Level of Olig2 expression may correlate with
malignancy.–Expression (9130) = MORE robust–Expression (8619) = LIMITED life span
•Heterogeneity among tumors–Oncogenic mutations in GNPs led to different cell
survival rates/status in culture experiments.
•Observations in cultured cells mimic that of cells in vivo.
