The C6 methylene protons were selectively detected in (1)H-NMR spectra of intact glioma cells incubated with 6-(13)C-D-2-deoxyglucose (6-(13)C-2dG), a (13)C-enriched glucose analog that is suitable for monitoring glucose utilization in brain tumors. Spectral editing via (1)H-(13)C scalar coupling was performed with twin spin-echo double resonance (T-SEDOR), a pulse sequence which combines chemical specificity and high sensitivity, requires no solvent pre-saturation, and can easily be adapted to imaging protocols. This work demonstrates the suitability of the pulse sequence for monitoring 6-(13)C-2dG uptake in living cells in vitro, in spite of line-broadening and the occurrence of other strong signals in the spectral region of interest (3.5-4.4 ppm).

Background: Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) remains is an important cause of treatment failure in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ADAR1, as a member of the ADAR family, plays an important role in cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance. However, the mechanism by which ADAR1 regulates GBM progression and TMZ resistance is still unclear.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor characterized by the glioma stem cell (GSC) niche. The V-ATPase proton pump has been described as a crucial factor in sustaining GSC viability and tumorigenicity. Here we studied how patients-derived GSCs rely on V-ATPase activity to sustain mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell growth.

Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a primary brain tumor with relatively low malignancy. NCOA4 is a key regulator of ferritinophagy-related processes and is involved in the occurrence and development of many cancers. However, the role of NCOA4 in LGG remains poorly understood.

The prevalent tumor-supporting glioblastoma-associated macrophages (GAMs) promote glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) progression and resistance to multiple therapies. Repolarizing GAMs from tumor-supporting to tumor-inhibiting phenotype may troubleshoot. However, sufficient accumulation of drugs at the GBM site is restricted by blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide. Approximately 30% of castrate-resistant PCa becomes refractory to therapy due to neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) that is present in <1% of de-novo tumors. First-in-class imipridone ONC201/TIC10 therapy has shown clinical activity against midline gliomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and PCa.
