EphA2 is phosphorylated on serine 897 (S897) in response to growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and on tyrosine 588 (Y588) in response to its ligand ephrinA1, causing different cellular responses. In this study, we show that the actin-binding protein Filamin A forms a complex with EphA2 and promotes its S897 phosphorylation and glioblastoma cell proliferation. Suppression of Filamin A expression by siRNAs inhibited glioblastoma cell proliferation induced by EGF stimulation or overexpression of EphA2. Knockdown of Filamin A inhibited EGF-induced S897 phosphorylation of EphA2, whereas it had little effect on ephrinA1-induced Y588 phosphorylation of EphA2. Furthermore, Filamin A expression affected the subcellular localization of EphA2. This study suggests that Filamin A selectively promotes EphA2 S897 phosphorylation and plays an important role in glioblastoma cell proliferation.

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 5-10%. Current therapeutic options are limited, due in part to drug exclusion by the blood-brain barrier, restricting access of targeted drugs to the tumor. The receptor for the type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1R) was identified as a therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between glioblastoma (GBM) and unsupervised deep learning-derived imaging phenotypes (UDIPs). We employed a combination of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), and scPagwas (pathway-based polygenic regression framework) methods to explore the genetic links between UDIPs and GBM. Two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted to identify causal relationships between UDIPs and GBM.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, with a mean survival of less than 2 years. Unique brain structures and the microenvironment, including blood-brain barriers, put great challenges on clinical drug development.

Objectives: Plinabulin, a marine-derived anticancer drug targeting microtubules, exhibits anti-cancer effects on glioblastoma cells. However, its therapeutic potential, specifically for glioblastoma treatment, remains underexplored. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which plinabulin exerts its effects on glioblastoma cells.

Gliomas are the most common lethal tumors of the brain associated with a poor prognosis and increased resistance to chemo-radiotherapy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), newly identified noncoding RNAs, have appeared as critical regulators of therapeutic resistance among multiple cancers and gliomas. Since circRNAs are aberrantly expressed in glioma and may act as promoters or inhibitors of therapeutic resistance, we categorized alterations of these specific RNAs expression in therapy resistant-glioma in three different classes, including chemoresistance, radioresistance, and glioma stem cell (GSC)-regulation.
