    GRIK1 promotes glioblastoma malignancy and is a novel prognostic factor of poor prognosis

    GUOQIANG HOU1,2,#, XINHANG XU2,#, WEIXING HU1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.4, pp. 727-736, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.043391

    Abstract Primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are classified into over 100 different histological types. The most common type of glioma is derived from astrocytes, and the most invasive glioblastoma (WHO IV) accounts for over 57% of these tumors. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and fatal tumor of the CNS, with strong growth and invasion capabilities, which makes complete surgical resection almost impossible. Despite various treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, glioma is still an incurable disease, and the median survival time of patients with GBM is shorter than 15 months. Thus, molecular mechanisms of GBM… More >

    LncRNAs unraveling their sponge role in glioblastoma and potential therapeutic applications

    CAIJUAN LIU, XINGHAO LI, YUXUAN WU, JINHUI YANG, MENGHAN WANG, YUNQI MA*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 387-401, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.048791

    Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, is the most malignant and still has no cure. However, the novel role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma is attracting extensive attention. LncRNAs are transcribed RNA molecules over 200 nucleotides long that do not encode proteins. Unlike small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), lncRNAs have more complex secondary and tertiary structures that enable them to interact with DNA, RNA, and proteins and perform multiple regulatory functions. LncRNAs act as molecular sponges, absorbing and sequestering other biomolecules, particularly miRNAs, thereby preventing these… More > Graphic Abstract

    FRANCESCO PETRELLA*, ENRICO MARIO CASSINA, LIDIA LIBRETTI, EMANUELE PIRONDINI, FEDERICO RAVEGLIA, ANTONIO TUORO

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.3, pp. 433-437, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.046497

    Abstract The main aim of antineoplastic treatment is to maximize patient benefit by augmenting the drug accumulation within affected organs and tissues, thus incrementing drug effects and, at the same time, reducing the damage of non-involved tissues to cytotoxic agents. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) represent a group of undifferentiated multipotent cells presenting wide self-renewal features and the capacity to differentiate into an assortment of mesenchymal family cells. During the last year, they have been proposed as natural carriers for the selective release of antitumor drugs to malignant cells, thus optimizing cytotoxic action on cancer cells, while significantly reducing adverse side effects… More >

    JIWEI SUN1,2,#, LIANG XU1,#, YESEN ZHANG2, HAORAN LI1, JIE FENG2, XUEFENG LU2, JUN DONG1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.12, pp. 2721-2733, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.043869

    Abstract Objective: This investigation aimed to unveil new prospective diagnosis-related biomarkers together with treatment targets against glioblastoma. Methods: The expression levels of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) DPP10-AS1 were assessed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) within both the patient tissue specimens and glioblastoma cell lines. The relationship between lncRNA DPP10-AS1 expression in glioblastoma and patient prognosis was investigated. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell, and clonogenic experiments were utilized to assess tumor cells’ proliferation, invasiveness, and migratory potentials after lncRNA DPP10-AS1 expression was up or down-regulated. Using an online bioinformatics prediction tool, the intracellular localization of lncRNA DPP10-AS1 and its target… More >

    UCHL5 inhibits U251 glioma cell proliferation and tumor growth via stabilizing and deubiquitinating PTEN

    YUE XIAO1,2,#, WENJING MA2,#, XINYI CHEN2, WEIWEI HU3, QIANQIAN DI2, XIBAO ZHAO2, GUODONG HUANG1, WEILIN CHEN1,2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.12, pp. 2617-2625, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.042476

    Abstract Background: Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor. Exploration of new tumorigenesis mechanism of glioma is critical to determine more effective treatment targets as well as to develop effective prognosis methods that can enhance the treatment efficacy. We previously demonstrated that the deubiquitinase biquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L5 (UCHL5) was downregulated in human glioma. However, the effect and mechanism of UCHL5 on the proliferation of glioma cells remains unknown. Methods: Transfection of siRNA was used to knockdown the expression of UCHL5 in U251 cells. The 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, Edu assay, and colony formation assay were employed to… More > Graphic Abstract

    CHRM3 is a novel prognostic factor of poor prognosis and promotes glioblastoma progression via activation of oncogenic invasive growth factors

    BIN ZHANG1,#, JIANYI ZHAO3,#, YONGZHI WANG2,#, HUA XU1, BO GAO1, GUANGNING ZHANG1, BIN HAN1, GUOHONG SONG1, JUNCHEN ZHANG1,*, WEI MENG1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.6, pp. 917-927, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.030425

    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive cancer of the brain and has a high mortality rate due to the lack of effective treatment strategy. Clarification of molecular mechanisms of GBM’s characteristic invasive growth are urgently needed to improve the poor prognosis. Single-nuclear sequencing of primary and recurrent GBM samples revealed that levels of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRM3) were significantly higher in the recurrent samples than in the primary samples. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining of an array of GBM samples showed that high levels of CHRM3 correlated with poor prognosis, consistent with The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Knockdown of CHRM3 inhibited… More >

    Underlying mechanisms and clinical potential of circRNAs in glioblastoma

    LEI ZHANG*, YUAN ZHANG, HUIJUAN GAO, XIN LI, PEIFENG LI*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.4, pp. 449-462, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.029062

    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant form of glioma and is difficult to diagnose, leading to high mortality rates. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are noncoding RNAs with a covalently closed loop structure. CircRNAs are involved in various pathological processes and have been revealed to be important regulators of GBM pathogenesis. CircRNAs exert their biological effects by 4 different mechanisms: serving as sponges of microRNAs (miRNAs), serving as sponges of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), modulating parental gene transcription, and encoding functional proteins. Among the 4 mechanisms, sponging miRNAs is predominant. Their good stability, broad distribution and high specificity make circRNAs promising biomarkers… More > Graphic Abstract

    KAI WANG2,#, FENGTIAN ZHANG1,3,4,#, CHANGLONG WEN5, ZHIHUA HUANG6, ZHIHAO HU1, YUWEN ZHANG1, FUQIANG HU2,*, LIJUAN WEN1,6,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.29, No.5, pp. 351-363, 2021, DOI:10.32604/or.2022.025696

    Abstract The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an essential component in regulating and maintaining the homeostatic microenvironment of the central nervous system (CNS). During the occurrence and development of glioblastoma (GBM), BBB is pathologically destroyed with a marked increase in permeability. Due to the obstruction of the BBB, current strategies for GBM therapeutics still obtain a meager success rate and may lead to systemic toxicity. Moreover, chemotherapy could promote pathological BBB functional restoration, which results in significantly reduced intracerebral transport of therapeutic agents during multiple administrations of GBM and the eventual failure of GBM chemotherapy. The effective delivery of intracerebral drugs still… More >

    miR-30c Impedes Glioblastoma Cell Proliferation and Migration by Targeting SOX9

    Shihui Liu, Xiuxiu Li, Sujing Zhuang

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 165-171, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504018X15193506006164

    Abstract miR-30c has been acknowledged as a tumor suppressor in various human cancers, such as ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and prostate cancer. However, the role of miR-30c in glioblastoma (GBM) needs to be investigated. In our study, we found that the expression of miR-30c was significantly downregulated in GBM tissues and cell lines. We found that overexpression of miR-30c inhibited cellular proliferation of GBM cells in vitro and in vivo. More GBM cells were arrested in the G0 phase after miR-30c overexpression. Moreover, we showed that miR-30c overexpression suppressed the migration and invasion of GBM cells. Mechanistically, we found that SOX9… More >

    miR-148-3p Inhibits Growth of Glioblastoma Targeting DNA Methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1)

    Yongtao Li*, Fanyu Chen*, Jiancheng Chu*, Chao Wu*, Yuan Li, Heng Li, Hongxin Ma*

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.8, pp. 911-921, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504019X15516966905337

    Abstract To date, miR-148-3p and DNMT1–recombinant human runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) axis have been linked to cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; however, their roles and relationships in human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are still not clear. Here we found that the expression of miR-148-3p in glioma tissues was decreased compared with adjacent nontumor tissues and correlated with WHO grade, tumor size, and prognosis as well as DNMT1 and RUNX3 expressions. Compared with NHA cells, the expression of miR- 148-3p in U87 and U251 cells was also downregulated and accompanied with upregulation of DNMT1 and hypermethylation level of RUNX3 promoter region. miR-148-3p… More >
