Neuropharmacological effects of calycosin: a translational review of molecular mechanisms and therapeutic applications. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Additionally, it enhances the efficacy of temozolomide in glioma treatment through apoptotic pathways involving caspase-3 and caspase-9...Despite these promising findings, further research, including detailed mechanistic studies and clinical trials, is needed to fully understand calycosin's therapeutic mechanisms and validate its potential in human subjects. Developing advanced delivery systems and exploring synergistic therapeutic strategies could further enhance its clinical application and effectiveness.

In vivo spatiotemporal mapping of proliferation activity in gliomas via water-exchange dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. (PubMed, Theranostics)
In glioma cell cultures, k io precisely followed the dynamic changes of proliferation activity in growth cycles and response to temozolomide (TMZ) treatment...Upregulated aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression were observed in most proliferating glioma cells and the knockout of AQP4 could largely slow down proliferation activity, suggesting AQP4 is the potential molecule connecting MRI-k io with proliferation activity. This study provides an ease-of-use, accurate, and non-invasive imaging method for the spatiotemporal monitoring of proliferation activity in glioma.

Identification and Verification of Key Genes Associated with Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma Based on Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis. (PubMed, Iran J Biotechnol)
PITX1, TNFRSF11B, and IGFBP2 are key genes associated with the prognosis of GBM patients with TMZ resistance. The differential expression of these genes correlates with adverse outcomes in GBM patients, suggesting that they are valuable biomarkers for predicting patient prognosis and that they could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment targets.

Anti-miRNA- 155 - 5p enhances the cytotoxic efficacy of temozolomide in brain cancer stem cells. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
By survival analysis, low expression of SCN1A was associated with poor prognosis (p < 0.05; HR = 0.7), highlighting its potential prognostic role. The combination of temozolomide treatment with suppression of miR- 155 - 5p may provide a more effective and side-effect minimized brain cancer treatment strategy by reducing resistance.

Investigating potential drug targets for the treatment of glioblastoma: a Mendelian randomization study. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Current standard therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, are limited by drug resistance and the blood-brain barrier...eQTL-MR analysis identifies GBM-associated differentially expressed genes and constructs a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.Integrating pQTL data from the deCODE database, pQTL-MR, and colocalization analyses validated the therapeutic potential of GPX7 and CXCL10.These findings provide new perspectives on GBM biology and suggest actionable targets for therapy. Despite limitations due to sample size and population-specific data, this study highlights GPX7 and CXCL10 as promising candidates for further investigation and lays the foundation for targeted GBM treatments.

RNA Sequencing Identifies Novel Signaling Pathways and Potential Drug Target Genes Induced by FOSL1 in Glioma Progression and Stemness. (PubMed, Biologics)
Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between FOSL1 overexpression groups were predominantly involved in ferroptosis, immune response, angiogenesis, vascular mimicry, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer cell stemness, temozolomide (TMZ) resistance, and NF-κB signaling...Notably, 8 upregulated (ITGA5, SDC1, PHLDB2, TNFRSF8, ADAM8, TLR7, STEAP3, and POU3F2) and 4 downregulated (IFIT1, FBXO16, ARL3, and BEX1) genes were identified, with implications for glioblastoma prognosis. This transcriptome investigation emphasizes the diverse functions of FOSL1 in different biological processes and signaling networks during the shift from proneural to mesenchymal state in glioblastoma.

Relationship between serum CEACAM1 levels and prognosis and temozolomide chemotherapy sensitivity in patients undergoing neuroendoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection. (PubMed, Pak J Pharm Sci)
The AUC of preoperative CEACAM1 for predicting prognosis was 0.716 (cutoff: 5857.5 pg/mL) and for TMZ resistance was 0.742 (cutoff: 6431 pg/mL). High preoperative CEACAM1 levels are associated with poor prognosis and TMZ resistance, serving as a potential biomarker to guide clinical evaluation and treatment.

Therapeutic efficacy to dose-dependent toxicity of Cabazitaxel in C6-induced glioblastoma model of rats. (PubMed, Toxicol Res (Camb))
Male Sprague-Dawley rats bearing intra-caudate nucleus (CN) C6 inoculation were randomly divided into nine groups as follows: sham, tumor, Temozolomide (TMZ) vehicle, TMZ, CBZ vehicle, CBZ at doses of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg. Our findings demonstrate that the administration of CBZ at a dosage of 1 mg/kg exerts advantageous impacts on both the survival rate and neurocognitive performance of rats within the GBM model. However, our results showed that CBZ may have toxic effects, especially in a dose of 4 mg/kg.

ADAM12 Promotes Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma by Activating the TNF-α - NF-κB Pathway. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Furthermore, in glioma cell lines with unmethylated MGMT, the knockdown of ADAM12 enhanced sensitivity to TMZ by inhibiting the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway and reducing MGMT expression. In all, these results demonstrated that ADAM12 aids in shedding of membrane-bound TNF-a to drive TMZ resistance in glioma.

The majority of IDH-wildtype anaplastic astrocytomas (grade 3) were reclassified as glioblastoma (grade 4). These analyses also shed light on the efficacy of TMZ in certain molecular subgroups, where the addition of TMZ to RT appeared to benefit patients regardless of MGMT methylation status.

In vitro investigation of epigenetic regulators related to chemo-resistance and stemness of CD133+VE cells sorted from U87MG cell line. (PubMed, Gene)
Doxorubicin Cisplatin, Irinotecan, Etoposide and Temozolomide were used to determine the anti-proliferative effect on CD133+VE cells. RNA sequencing revealed 126 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) in CD133+VEcells among which lncRNA LOXL1-AS1 was highly upregulated and lncRNA PAX8-AS1 was significantly downregulated. These lncRNAs has been reported to be related to drug resistance, migration and epithelial- to- mesenchymal transmission (EMT), self-renewal and stemness properties contributing to poor prognosis and disease relapse.
