INPP5E's impact on medulloblastoma
We examined how INPP5E influences Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling in medulloblastoma, a common pediatric brain tumor. By using a murine model, we found that deleting INPP5E reduced tumor growth, cell proliferation, and SHH signaling while causing a loss of cilia on tumor cells.

Our findings suggest that INPP5E is crucial for maintaining primary cilia and promoting tumor progression. Interestingly, we observed that lower levels of INPP5E in human samples correlated with better survival outcomes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in combating SHH medulloblastoma.

We explored the effects of inositol treatment on medulloblastoma, which is a leading cause of brain tumors in children. Specifically, we found that some medulloblastoma cells showed a unique sensitivity to changes in inositol metabolism due to the presence of the BMI1 gene.

Our research focused on a particular sub-group of this tumor that is characterized by a specific gene signature known as BMI1;CHD7. We discovered that treatment with a compound derived from inositol, called IP6, could effectively counteract the aggressive behaviors of these tumors, particularly through blocking the activation of a key metabolic pathway called mTOR.

Additionally, our findings revealed that IP6 does not just work in isolation. When combined with cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, IP6 enhanced the drug's ability to kill tumor cells in laboratory settings. This combination also proved beneficial in a pre-clinical model, where it extended survival in mice with tumors that mirrored human medulloblastoma.

Overall, our study suggests that inositol and its derivatives could offer a novel avenue for treatment, particularly for tumors that carry the BMI1;CHD7 signature. However, we emphasize the need for further research to fully understand the potential benefits and mechanisms at play.

Combining choline and inositol can significantly enhance brain function and mood. Choline boosts memory and cognitive skills, while Inositol may alleviate anxiety. We began with one capsule daily and gradually increased the dose to two to four, which has been effective for us. Solgar's reputation for quality reassures me of its effectiveness.
