https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ki696.html Meningioma is the most common radiation-induced brain neoplasm, usually occurring after a latency of 20 - 35 years, with multiplicity in 10% of cases. Radiation-induced meningiomas (RIMs) have not previously been reported in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), unlike their well-known occurrence in other familial tumor predisposition syndrome patients. We report a TSC patient who developed numerous intracranial meningiomas twenty five year after radiation therapy for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA). Autopsy examination showed innumerable, coalescent, benign, meningothelial meningiomas, WHO grade 1, ranging in size from 0.2 cm to 3.3 cm. Autopsy also showed small residual SEGA, radiation-induced cerebral vasculopathy, and classic TSC features including several small subependymal nodules ("candle gutterings"), white matter radial heterotopia, facial angiofibromas, dental enamel pitting, one ash leaf spot, and multiple hepatic and renal angiomyolipomas. Next-generation sequencing analysis utilizing a 500+ gene cancer panel demonstrated chromosomal loss involving the majority of chromosome 22, including the NF2 gene locus, as well as a truncating nonsense mutation in TSC1 p. R509*. While TSC patients rarely require radiation therapy, this striking case suggests that patients with TSC should be monitored closely if cranial therapeutic radiation is administered.Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious disease with pulmonary arterial fibrotic remodeling and limited responsiveness to vasodilators. Our data suggest that mild acidosis induced by carbonic anhydrase inhibition could ameliorate PH, but the vascular mechanisms are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that carbonic anhydrase inhibition ameliorates PH by improving pulmonary vascular reactivity and relaxation mechanisms. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were either control normoxic (Nx), or injected with Sugen 5416 (20 mg/kg, sc) and subjected to hypoxia (9%
