The nanoprodrug of polytemozolomide combines with MGMT siRNA to enhance the effect of temozolomide in glioma
Drug Deliv. 2023 Dec;30(1):1-13. doi: 10.1080/10717544.2022.2152911.ABSTRACTTemozolomide (TMZ) is a conventional chemotherapeutic drug for glioma, however, its clinical application and efficacy is severely restricted by its drug resistance properties. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair enzyme, which can repair the DNA damage caused by TMZ. A large number of clinical data show that reducing the expression of MGMT can enhance the chemotherapeutic efficacy of TMZ. Therefore, in order to improve the resistance of glioma to TMZ, an angiopep-2 (A2) modified nanoprodrug of polytemozolomide (P(TMZ)n) tha...

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 1998: CD81 Enhances Radioresistance of Glioblastoma by Promoting Nuclear Translocation of Rad51
In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time that CD81 not only played a vital role in DNA repair through regulating Rad51 nuclear transport, but also might serve as a potential target of GBM radiotherapy.

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 944: Identification and Validation of ERK5 as a DNA Damage Modulating Drug Target in Glioblastoma
wn Spencer J. Collis Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer, with approximately half of primary brain tumours being diagnosed as high-grade malignancies known as glioblastomas. Despite de-bulking surgery combined with chemo-/radiotherapy regimens, the mean survival for these patients is only around 15 months, with less than 10% surviving over 5 years. This dismal prognosis highlights the urgent need to develop novel agents to improve the treatment of these tumours. To address this need, we carried out a human kinome siRNA screen to identify potential drug targets that augment the e...

Cancers, Vol. 12, Pages 3260: Improving Radiation Response in Glioblastoma Using ECO/siRNA Nanoparticles Targeting DNA Damage Repair
Camphausen Radiation therapy is a mainstay in the standard of care for glioblastoma (GBM), thus inhibiting the DNA damage response (DDR) is a major strategy to improve radiation response and therapeutic outcomes. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy holds immeasurable potential for the treatment of GBM, however delivery of the siRNA payload remains the largest obstacle for clinical implementation. Here we demonstrate the effectiveness of the novel nanomaterial, ECO (1-aminoethylimino[bis(N-oleoylcysteinylaminoethyl) propionamide]), to deliver siRNA targeting DDR proteins ataxia telangiectasia mutated and DNA-dependen...

Auranofin, an Anti-rheumatic Gold Drug, Aggravates the Radiation-Induced Acute Intestinal Injury in Mice
Conclusion In this study, we found that a non-toxic dose of auranofin significantly aggravated the severity of the radiation-induced intestinal injury. This suggests that auranofin treatment can be an independent factor that influences the risk of intestinal complications after pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy. Ethics Statement All the protocols used in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Korean Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (IACUC permit number: KIRAMS217-0007). Author Contributions H-JL, JS, and Y-BL designed the experiments. EL and JK conducted the exp...

Connecting Metainflammation and Neuroinflammation Through the PTN-MK-RPTP β/ζ Axis: Relevance in Therapeutic Development
Conclusion The expression of the components of the PTN-MK-RPTPβ/ζ axis in immune cells and in inflammatory diseases suggests important roles for this axis in inflammation. Pleiotrophin has been recently identified as a limiting factor of metainflammation, a chronic pathological state that contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Pleiotrophin also seems to potentiate acute neuroinflammation independently of the inflammatory stimulus while MK seems to play different -even opposite- roles in acute neuroinflammation depending on the stimulus. Which are the functions of MK and PTN in chronic neuroi...

Complement C5b-9 and Cancer: Mechanisms of Cell Damage, Cancer Counteractions, and Approaches for Intervention
In conclusion, osmotic burst of inflated complement-damaged cells may occur, but these bursts are most likely a consequence of metabolic collapse of the cell rather than the cause of cell death. The Complement Cell Death Mediator: A Concerted Action of Toxic Moieties Membrane pores caused by complement were first visualized by electron microscopy on red blood cell membranes as large ring structures (22). Similar lesions were viewed on E. coli cell walls (23). Over the years, ample information on the fine ultrastructure of the MAC that can activate cell death has been gathered (24) and has been recently further examined (...

Abstract B42: Silencing of DNA repair proteins with ECO/siRNA nanoparticles for the enhancement of radiation response in glioblastoma
In this study we investigate the use of these nanoparticles to deliver siRNA to inhibit ATM and DNApk activity and enhance radiation response in both glioma and glioma stem cell lines.Established glioma (U251) and glioma stem cell (NSC11) lines were used to evaluate the effectiveness of ECO nanoparticle delivery of siRNA in vitro . Cellular uptake of ECO nanoparticles loaded with fluorescent siRNA was assessed using flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy, demonstrating the rapid uptake of ECO/siRNA nanoparticles in comparison to commercially available transfection agents. Protein and mRNA analyses revealed the kinetics ...

C-Terminal Binding Protein is Involved in Promoting to the Carcinogenesis of Human Glioma
AbstractC-terminal binding protein (CtBP) is responsible for regulating the pathogenesis of a lot of cancer types. However, whether CtBP1/2 is involved in regulating the growth and development of human glioma is still obscure. In the present study presented here, our results firstly reveal that CtBP1/2 deficiency, induced by siRNA interference, disrupts the functional integrity of the MRN complex that is responsible for DNA repair in human glioma cells. The dysfunction of the MRN complex further contributes to the up-regulation of ATM and Rad3-related kinase (ATR) and Chk1 signaling pathway, which inhibits cell cycle progr...
