A sensitive and accurate liquid chromatography method with mass spectrometry detection was developed and validated for the quantification of temozolomide in mouse plasma and brain. Theophyllin was used as the internal standard. A single-step protein precipitation was used for plasma and brain sample preparation. The method was validated with respect to selectivity, extraction recovery, linearity, intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy, limit of quantification and stability. The method has a limit of quantification of 50 ng/mL for temozolomide in plasma and 125 ng/g in brain. This method was used successfully to perform brain and plasma pharmacokinetic studies of temozolomide in mice after intraperitoneal administration.

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.

CRISPR/Cas9 (CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) gene editing technology represents great promise for treating glioblastoma (GBM) due to its potential to permanently eliminate tumor pathogenic genes. Unfortunately, delivering CRISPR to the GBM in a safe and effective manner is challenging. Herein, a glycosylated and cascade-responsive nanoparticle (GCNP) that can effectively cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and activate CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing only in the GBM is designed.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor, and has a low survival rate and a poor prognosis. Intensive studies of pathogenic mechanisms are essential for exploring therapeutic targets for GBM. In this study, the roles played by interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), HECT, RCC1-containing protein 5 (HERC5), and SERPINE1 mRNA binding protein 1 (SERBP1) in regulating GBM cell stemness were investigated.

Indolo[2,3-]pyrrolo[3,4-]carbazole scaffold is successfully used as an efficient structural motif for the design and development of different antitumor agents. In this study, we investigated the anti-glioblastoma therapeutic potential of glycosylated indolocarbazole analog LCS1269 utilizing in vitro, in vivo, and in silico approaches. Cell viability was estimated by an MTT assay.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), particularly the deep-seated tumor where surgical removal is not feasible, poses great challenges for clinical treatments due to complicated biological barriers and the risk of damaging healthy brain tissue. Here, we hierarchically engineer a self-adaptive nanoplatform (SAN) that overcomes delivery barriers by dynamically adjusting its structure, surface charge, particle size, and targeting moieties to precisely distinguish between tumor and parenchyma cells. We further devise a AN-uided ntuitive and recision ntervention (SGIPi) strategy which obviates the need for sophisticated facilities, skilled operations, and real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance required by current MRI-guided laser or ultrasound interventions.
