Background: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive and prevalent brain cancer with a higher incidence in males, has limited treatment success due to drug resistance, inadequate targeting and penetration of cancer cells, and an incomplete understanding of its molecular pathways. GBM is a highly aggressive brain cancer with limited treatment options. This study investigates the anticancer potential of synthesized pyrazole compounds against GBM cells.

Applications of polymeric nanoparticles in drug delivery for glioblastoma.

Front Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, The First Hospital, Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Polymer-based nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution, offering precise drug delivery, enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, and adaptability to the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review explores the diverse applications of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in GBM treatment, including delivery of chemotherapeutics, targeted therapeutics, immunotherapeutics, and other agents for radiosensitization and photodynamic therapy.

Glioblastoma-derived migrasomes promote migration and invasion by releasing PAK4 and LAMA4.

Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, 646000, PR China.

Almost all high-grade gliomas, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), are highly migratory and aggressive. Migrasomes are organelles produced by highly migratory cells capable of mediating intercellular communication. Thus, GBM cells may produce migrasomes during migration.

BRAT1 - a new therapeutic target for glioblastoma.

Cell Mol Life Sci

January 2025

Experimental Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Neuroscience Center, Goethe University Hospital, Goethe University Frankfurt, 60528, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most malignant primary brain tumor in adults, has poor prognosis irrespective of therapeutic advances due to its radio-resistance and infiltrative growth into brain tissue. The present study assessed functions and putative druggability of BRCA1-associated ATM activator 1 (BRAT1) as a crucial factor driving key aspects of GBM, including enhanced DNA damage response and tumor migration. By a stable depletion of BRAT1 in GBM and glioma stem-like (GSC) cell lines, we observed a delay in DNA double-strand break repair and increased sensitivity to radiation treatment, corroborated by in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrating impaired tumor growth and invasion.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is highly malignant and grows rapidly, and there is currently a lack of effective treatments. Metabolism provides the basis for the occurrence and development of GBM. Pyruvate dehydrogenase A1 (PDHA1) is a key component in both the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis, playing an important role in the metabolic processes related to cancer, but its role in GBM remains unclear.
