Galectin-3 Mediates Tumor Progression in Astrocytoma by Regulating Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 β Activity
This study aims to validate the correlation between the clinical outcomes and protein expression of galectin-3/GSK3B in astrocytoma. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect galectin-3/GSK3B protein expression in patients with astrocytoma. The Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier evaluation, and Cox regression analysis were used to determine the correlation between clinical parameters and galectin-3/GSK3B expression. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were compared between a non-siRNA group and a galectin-3/GSK3B siRNA group. Protein expression in galectin-3 or GSK3B siRNA-treated cells was evaluated using w...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 97: HLA-A, HSPA5, IGFBP5 and PSMA2 Are Restriction Factors for Zika Virus Growth in Astrocytic Cells
Conclusions: The top ZIKV dysregulated cellular networks were antimicrobial response, cell death, and energy production while top dysregulated functions were antigen presentation, viral replication and cytopathic impact. Th1 and interferon signaling pathways were among the top dysregulated canonical pathways. siRNA-mediated KD of HLA-A, IGFBP5, PSMA2 and HSPA5 increased ZIKV titers and protein synthesis, indicating they are ZIKV restriction factors. ZIKV infection also restored HLA-A expression in HLA-A KD cells by 48 h post-infection, suggesting interactions between this gene product and ZIKV.

Distinct expression and function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 in mutant P53 glioblastoma
ConclusionOur data indicate upregulation of BRMS1 in high grade astrocytomas which correlates positively withmutant P53 and a poor patient survival. Silencing of BRMS1 inmutant P53 GBM cell lines resulted in a reduced cellular growth and migration/invasion by suppressing the EGFR-AKT/NF-kB signaling pathway. BRMS1 may serve as a predictive biomarker and therapeutic target inmutant P53 GBM.

MicroRNA-640 Inhibition Enhances the Chemosensitivity of Human Glioblastoma Cells to Temozolomide by Targeting Bcl2 Modifying Factor
Biochem Genet. 2022 Aug 19. doi: 10.1007/s10528-022-10264-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and challenging type of astrocytoma and also notoriously acknowledged as the most common primary brain tumor globally. Currently, chemotherapy is the most master therapy for tumor and is essential in clinical treatment for GBM. Nevertheless, the characterization of chemotherapy resistance seriously hinders clinical chemotherapy treatment. Accordingly, there are imperious demands for the exploitation of novel chemosensitizer to promote the efficacy of chemotherapy. Our current study was conduct...

EZH2 as a new therapeutic target in brain tumors: Molecular landscape, therapeutic targeting and future prospects
Biomed Pharmacother. 2021 Dec 11;146:112532. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112532. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBrain tumors are responsible for high mortality and morbidity worldwide. The brain tumor treatment depends on identification of molecular pathways involved in progression and malignancy. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has obtained much attention in recent years in field of cancer therapy due to its aberrant expression and capacity in modulating expression of genes by binding to their promoter and affecting methylation status. The present review focuses on EZH2 signaling in brain tumors including glioma, gliobla...

Viruses, Vol. 13, Pages 1533: Inhibitors of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Identified Based on Host Interaction Partners of Viral Non-Structural Protein 3
In this study, we utilized an overexpression construct encoding HA-tagged nsP3 to identify host proteins that interact with VEEV nsP3 by mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic analyses of the putative interactors identified 42 small molecules with the potential to inhibit the host interaction targets, and thus potentially inhibit VEEV. Three inhibitors, tomatidine, citalopram HBr, and Z-VEID-FMK, reduced replication of both the TC-83 strain and the Trinidad donkey (TrD) strain of VEEV by at least 10-fold in astrocytoma, astroglial, and microglial cells. Further, these inhibitors reduced replication of the related New World (NW) ...

LY294002 and sorafenib as inhibitors of intracellular survival pathways in the elimination of human glioma cells by programmed cell death
Cell Tissue Res. 2021 Jul 8. doi: 10.1007/s00441-021-03481-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGliomas are aggressive brain tumors with very high resistance to chemotherapy throughout the overexpression of multiple intracellular survival pathways. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate for the first time the anticancer activity of LY294002, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor and sorafenib, and rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma kinase (Raf) inhibitor in the elimination of human glioma cells by programmed cell death. MOGGCCM (anaplastic astrocytoma, III) and T98G (glioblastoma multiforme, IV) cell...
