Career Summary
Biography
Dr Evangeline Jackson is an Early Career Researcher, awarded her PhD in Medical Biochemistry by publication in December 2023. This work focused on molecular mechanisms underpinning the uniformly fatal paediatric brain cancer, ‘diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma’ or ‘DIPG’.
Dr Jackson is a specialist in DIPG in vitro modelling and biochemical analysis, working as part of the Cancer Signalling Research Group (CSRG), led by Professor Matthew Dun since 2018, based at the University of Newcastle, Hunter Medical Research Institute. DIPG is a highly aggressive cancer, with palliative radiotherapy the only treatment available which has some survival extension and symptom relief. Dr Jackson’s research focuses on harnessing cellular and molecular biology techniques, coupled with high-resolution quantitative proteomics to find new treatments for DIPG. This research utilises patient-derived cell lines in vitro as well as their establishment in vivo to effectively model patient disease, necessary for translation to the clinical setting.
Dr Jackson has highlighted the utility of systems-wide biology approaches through her recent research investigating a therapy which disrupts the energy metabolism of DIPG cancer cells by disrupting normal mitochondrial dysfunction, known as ONC201. However, DIPG cells are able to evade cell death by upregulating compensatory growth and survival pathways, driven by the kinase ‘PI3K’, revealing a new combination treatment target. Therefore, the combination of ONC201 and the PI3K inhibitor, paxalisib, has shown preclinical promise, assisting in the development of the international clinical trial, PNOC022. Dr Jackson continues to expand this research by applying these analytical techniques to other therapies, in order to find clinically-relevant, novel combinations to be used for the treatment of DIPG.

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a deadly pediatric and adolescent central nervous system (CNS) tumor localized along the midline structures of the brain atop the spinal... [more] Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a deadly pediatric and adolescent central nervous system (CNS) tumor localized along the midline structures of the brain atop the spinal cord. With a median overall survival (OS) of just 9¿11-months, DMG is characterized by global hypomethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), driven by recurring somatic mutations in H3 genes including, HIST1H3B/C (H3.1K27M) or H3F3A (H3.3K27M), or through overexpression of EZHIP in patients harboring wildtype H3. The recent World Health Organization's 5th Classification of CNS Tumors now designates DMG as, 'H3 K27-altered', suggesting that global H3K27me3 hypomethylation is a ubiquitous feature of DMG and drives devastating transcriptional programs for which there are no treatments. H3-alterations co-segregate with various other somatic driver mutations, highlighting the high-level of intertumoral heterogeneity of DMG. Furthermore, DMG is also characterized by very high-level intratumoral diversity with tumors harboring multiple subclones within each primary tumor. Each subclone contains their own combinations of driver and passenger lesions that continually evolve, making precision-based medicine challenging to successful execute. Whilst the intertumoral heterogeneity of DMG has been extensively investigated, this is yet to translate to an increase in patient survival. Conversely, our understanding of the non-genomic factors that drive the rapid growth and fatal nature of DMG, including endogenous and exogenous microenvironmental influences, neurological cues, and the posttranscriptional and posttranslational architecture of DMG remains enigmatic or at best, immature. However, these factors are likely to play a significant role in the complex biological sequelae that drives the disease. Here we summarize the heterogeneity of DMG and emphasize how analysis of the posttranslational architecture may improve treatment paradigms. We describe factors that contribute to treatment response and disease progression, as well as highlight the potential for pharmaco-proteogenomics (i.e., the integration of genomics, proteomics and pharmacology) in the management of this uniformly fatal cancer.

[more] B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is a protooncogene in adult and pediatric cancers, first identified in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) where it acts as a repressor of the tumor suppressor TP53, conferring survival, protection, and maintenance of lymphoma cells. BCL6 expression in normal B cells is fundamental in the regulation of humoral immunity, via initiation and maintenance of the germinal centers (GC). Its role in B cells during the production of high affinity immunoglobins (that recognize and bind specific antigens) is believed to underpin its function as an oncogene. BCL6 is known to drive the self-renewal capacity of leukemia-initiating cells (LIC), with high BCL6 expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and glioblastoma (GBM) associated with disease progression and treatment resistance. The mechanisms underpinning BCL6-driven therapy resistance are yet to be uncovered; however, high activity is considered to confer poor prognosis in the clinical setting. BCL6's key binding partner, BCL6 corepressor (BCOR), is frequently mutated in pediatric cancers and appears to act in concert with BCL6. Using publicly available data, here we show that BCL6 is ubiquitously overexpressed in pediatric brain tumors, inversely to BCOR, highlighting the potential for targeting BCL6 in these often lethal and untreatable cancers. In this review, we summarize what is known of BCL6 (role, effect, mechanisms) in pediatric cancers, highlighting the two sides of BCL6 function, humoral immunity, and tumorigenesis, as well as to review BCL6 inhibitors and highlight areas of opportunity to improve the outcomes of patients with pediatric cancer.
