Ursolic Acid Alleviates Neuroinflammation after Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Mediating Microglial Pyroptosis via the NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD Pathway.

The neuroinflammatory response after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes a large amount of neuronal loss, and inhibiting the inflammatory response can improve the prognosis. In previous laboratory studies and clinical trials, ursolic acid (UA) inhibited the inflammatory response, but whether it can be administered to inhibit the neuroinflammatory response after cerebral hemorrhage is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ursolic acid after cerebral hemorrhage.

TMEM2 induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes resistance to temozolomide in GBM cells.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common intracranial malignant tumor and is notorious for its poor prognosis. An important element in the short overall survival of GBM patients is the lack of understanding the pathogenesis and progression of tumor and deficiency biomarkers that can be used for early diagnosis and therapeutic sensitivity monitoring. Studies have shown that transmembrane protein 2 (TMEM2) is participated in tumorigenesis of various human tumors, including rectal and breast cancers.

Fatostatin induces ferroptosis through inhibition of the AKT/mTORC1/GPX4 signaling pathway in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and fatal primary malignant central nervous system tumor in adults. Although there are multiple treatments, the median survival of GBM patients is unsatisfactory, which has prompted us to continuously investigate new therapeutic strategies, including new drugs and drug delivery approaches. Ferroptosis, a kind of regulated cell death (RCD), has been shown to be dysregulated in various tumors, including GBM.

Immunogenic cell death-related risk signature predicts prognosis and characterizes the tumour microenvironment in lower-grade glioma.

Lower-grade glioma (LGG) is a common malignant primary tumour in the central nervous system, and most patients eventually develop highly aggressive gliomas despite comprehensive traditional treatment. Tumour molecular subtypes and prognostic biomarkers play a crucial role in LGG diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the identification of novel biomarkers in LGG patients is crucial for predicting the prognosis of glioma.

Exploring the inverse association of glioblastoma multiforme and Alzheimer's disease via bioinformatics analysis.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two major diseases in the nervous system with a similar peak age of onset, which has the typical characteristics of high cost, difficult treatment, and poor prognosis. Epidemiological studies and a few molecular biological studies have hinted at an opposite relationship between AD and GBM. However, there are few studies on their reverse relationship, and the regulatory mechanism is still unclear, indicating that further systematic research is urgently needed.

Esterase-responsive and size-optimized prodrug nanoparticles for effective intracranial drug delivery and glioblastoma treatment.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the intracranial malignancy with the highest rates of morbidity and mortality. Chemotherapy is often ineffective against GBM due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB); however, the application of nanotechnology is expected to overcome this limitation. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a degradable and nontoxic functional polymer with good biocompatibility that is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

TMCO1 expression promotes cell proliferation and induces epithelial-mesenchymal transformation in human gliomas.

Transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 1 (TMCO1) is a recently discovered transmembrane protein of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which plays a critical role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. TMCO1 dysfunction has been proved to be closely related to a variety of human diseases, including glaucoma, deformities, mental retardation and tumorigenesis. However, the role of TMCO1 in gliomas remains unclear.
