Immunovirotherapy for the treatment of glioblastoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently described a new murine model of glioblastoma, generated by the implantation of syngeneic glioblastoma stem cells into immunocompetent mice, that recapitulates the salient histopathological and immunological features of the human disease. We employed this model to demonstrate the multifaceted activity of an oncolytic herpes simplex virus genetically modified to express interleukin-12, G47∆-IL12.

Glioblastoma is an immunosuppressive, fatal brain cancer that contains glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) selectively replicates in cancer cells while inducing anti-tumor immunity. oHSV G47Δ expressing murine IL-12 (G47Δ-mIL12), antibodies to immune checkpoints (CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1), or dual combinations modestly extended survival of a mouse glioma model....
متن کاملW4: Cancer Stem Cells as a New Target Point for Treatment of Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is a destructive form of brain tumor that kills most patients within two years of diagnosis.Treatments for glioblastoma include the usual options of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but there is no effective treatment. The tumors are capable of spreading tendrils out into the brain and it can grow back in a matter of months after being removed. The cancer stem cell...
متن کاملComparison of Toxic Effects of Glaucium Flavum Hydroalcoholic Extract on glioblastoma cell line (C118) and neuronal neurosphere (NCs)
Background and aim: Glioblastoma tumors are the most invasive brain tumors with the origin of neural tissue in the brain. Because of the low success rate of treatment for this type of tumor, the need for a search for new therapies is justified. Glacium flavum is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to its richness in alkaloids. In this study, the toxic effects of hydroalcoholic extrac...
متن کاملDendrosomal nanocurcumin and p53 overexpression synergistically trigger apoptosis in glioblastoma cells
Objective(s): Glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous delivery of p53 and a nanoformulation of curcumin called dendrosomal curcumin (DNC), alone and in combination, on glioblastoma tumor cells. Materials and Methods: MTT assay was exploited to measure the viability of U87-MG cells against DNC treatment. Cells were ...
متن کاملEffect of Foretinib on Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) Expression in Glioblastoma
Background: The most malignant form of infiltrating astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is one of the most aggressive human cancers. Foretinib diminished GBM cell invasion by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). The study aimed to examine the anti-tumor activity of foretinib and to test its effect on MMP2 expression in T98 cells. Materials and methods: T9...
