Targeting a glioblastoma cancer stem-cell population defined by EGF receptor variant III.
The relationship between mutated proteins and the cancer stem-cell population is unclear. Glioblastoma tumors frequently express EGFRvIII, an EGF receptor (EGFR) variant that arises via gene rearrangement and amplification. However, expression of EGFRvIII is restricted despite the prevalence of the alteration. Here, we show that EGFRvIII is highly coexpressed with CD133 and that EGFRvIII(+)/CD1...

متن کاملDevelopment of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for glioblastoma targeting epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor, with a poor prognosis of less than 14 months after initial diagnosis. Gene amplification and mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are frequently observed in primary GBM. The most common variant of EGFR, known as EGFRvIII, is expressed in approximately 30% of GBM patients, but is absent on normal cells, making it a desi...
متن کاملCrosstalk between the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and EGF receptor variant III supports survival and growth of glioblastoma cells.
A truncated and constitutively active form of the EGF receptor, variant III (EGFRvIII), is a major determinant of tumor growth and progression in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Extensive bidirectional crosstalk occurs in the cell-signaling pathways downstream of the EGFR and the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR); however, crosstalk between EGFRvIII and uPAR has not been exami...
متن کاملTargeting Aggressive Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and fatal type of primary brain tumor. Gliosarcoma (GSM) is a rarer and more aggressive variant of GBM that has recently been considered a potentially different disease. Current clinical treatment for both GBM and GSM includes maximal surgical resection followed by post-operative radiotherapy and concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite recent advance...
