Abstract

AbstractTrimethylation of lysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27me3) loss has been implicated in worse prognoses for patients with meningiomas. However, there have been challenges in measuring H3K27me3 loss, quantifying its impact, and interpreting its clinical utility. We conducted a systematic review across Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify studies examining H3K27me3 loss in meningioma. Clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) characteristics were aggregated. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to assess prevalence of H3K27me3 loss and meningioma recurrence risk. Study bias was characterized using the NIH Quality Assessment Tool and funnel plots. Nine publications met inclusion criteria with a total of 2376 meningioma cases. The prevalence of H3K27me3 loss was 16% (95% CI 0.09–0.27), with higher grade tumors associated with a significantly greater proportion of loss. H3K27me3 loss was more common in patients who were male, had recurrent meningiomas, or required adjuvant radiation therapy. Patients were 1.70 times more likely to have tumor recurrence with H3K27me3 loss (95% CI 1.35–2.15). The prevalence of H3K27me3 loss in WHO grade 2 and 3 meningiomas was found to be significantly greater in tissue samples less than five years old versus tissue of all ages and when a broader definition of IHC staining loss was applied. This analysis demonstrates that H3K27me3 loss significantly associates with more aggressive meningiomas. While differences in IHC and tumor tissue age have led to heterogeneity in studying H3K27me3 loss, a robust prognostic signal is present. Our findings suggest an opportunity to improve study design and standardize tissue processing to optimize clinical viability of this epigenetic marker.
