Endothelial-secreted Endocan activates PDGFRA and regulates vascularity and spatial phenotype in glioblastoma.

Extensive neovascularization is a hallmark of glioblastoma (GBM). In addition to supplying oxygen and nutrients, vascular endothelial cells provide trophic support to GBM cells via paracrine signaling. Here we report that Endocan (ESM1), an endothelial-secreted proteoglycan, confers enhanced proliferative, migratory, and angiogenic properties to GBM cells and regulates their spatial identity.

Tumor heterogeneity is a significant factor influencing cancer treatment effectiveness and can arise from genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic variations among cancer cells. Understanding how tumor heterogeneity impacts tumor evolution and therapy response can lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Traditional bulk genomic approaches fail to provide insights into cellular-level events, whereas single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers transcriptomic analysis at the individual cell level, advancing our understanding of tumor growth, progression, and drug response.

Despite attempts at improving survival by employing novel therapies, progression in glioma is nearly universal. Precision biomarkers are critical to advancing outcomes; however, biomarkers for glioma are currently unknown. Most data on which the field can draw for biomarker identification comprise tissue-based analysis requiring the biospecimen to be removed from the tumor.

Glioblastoma tumors are the most common and aggressive adult central nervous system malignancy. Nearly all patients experience disease progression, which significantly contributes to disease mortality. Recently, it has been suggested that recurrent tumors may be characterized by a ferroptosis-prone phenotype with a significant decrease in glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) expression.

In response to external stress, mitochondrial dynamics is often disrupted, but the associated physiologic changes are often uncharacterized. In many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM), mitochondrial dysfunction has been observed. Understanding how mitochondrial dynamics and physiology contribute to treatment resistance will lead to more targeted and effective therapeutics.
