Taming glioblastoma: targeting angiogenesis.
More than 30 years ago, Judah Folkman hypothesized that tumor angiogenesis could be a target of anticancer therapy. Some of the initial studies were actually performed in patients with glioblastomas, which had the greatest extent of tumor angiogenesis among a variety of human malignancies. The identification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) also provided a firm foundation for the de...
متن کاملImmunological targeting of cytomegalovirus for glioblastoma therapy
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is purportedly present in glioblastoma (GBM) while absent from the normal brain, making CMV antigens potentially ideal immunological anti-GBM targets. We recently demonstrated that patient-derived CMV pp65-specific T cells are capable of recognizing and killing autologous GBM tumor cells. This data supports CMV antigen-directed immunotherapies against GBM.
متن کاملTargeting WNT Signaling for Multifaceted Glioblastoma Therapy
The WNT signaling pathway has been of great interest to developmental biologists for decades and has more recently become a central topic for study in cancer biology. It is vital for cell growth and regulation of embryogenesis in many organ systems, particularly the CNS and its associated vasculature. We summarize the role of WNT in CNS development and describe how WNT signaling makes key contr...
متن کاملTargeting apoptosis pathways in glioblastoma.
The treatment of glioblastoma remains a major challenge for clinicians since these highly aggressive brain tumors are relatively resistant towards radio- and chemotherapy. The pathways that control apoptosis are altered in glioblastoma cells leading to resistance towards apoptotic stimuli in general. In this review we describe the alterations affecting the p53 pathway, the BCL-2 protein family,...
متن کاملBiopolymer based nanosystem for doxorubicin targeted delivery.
This study describes formation of an actively and passively targeted, water-soluble drug delivery system (DDS) which contains doxorubicin (DOX). The system comprises two biocompatible and biodegradable polymers: poly-γ-glutamic acid (PGA) and chitosan (CH). Self-assembly of these biopolymers in aqueous medium results stable nanoparticles (NPs) with a hydrodynamic size of 80-150 nm and slightly ...
