Alkylating agents activate an SLFN11-dependent vulnerability that confers PARP-1 inhibitor sensitivity in kidney cancer. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
Our findings reveal an intrinsic SLFN11-dependent vulnerability in ccRCC that synergizes with alkylating agents to induce an acquired PARP-1 dependency, thereby sensitizing BRCA1/2-WT tumors to PARP inhibition. Therefore, this work uncovers a potential therapeutic strategy for targeting SLFN11-high kidney cancers.

Glioma-derived extracellular vesicles as drivers of immunotherapeutic resistance: mechanisms of immune reprogramming and metabolic intervention. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
In addition, EV-enriched non-coding RNAs, such as miR-25-3p, miR-3591-3p, and lncRNA H19, regulate PI3K-AKT-mTOR, JAK2/STAT3, and related pathways to promote myeloid reprogramming, immune escape, and temozolomide resistance...Targeting EV biogenesis, release, uptake, or specific immunosuppressive cargoes may provide promising opportunities to overcome resistance and improve immunotherapy for glioma. Future studies should focus on deciphering EV-mediated immune regulatory networks, identifying robust glioma-specific EV biomarkers, standardizing EV detection platforms, and developing precision EV-based therapeutic strategies.

Optimal clinicogenetic criteria for post-operative re-irradiation in recurrent glioblastoma: KROG 21-02. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
Post-operative re-RT appears to be associated with enhanced survival and minimal toxicity in patients with rGBM following temozolomide chemoradiation. Our study suggests a novel clinicogenetic criterion for re-RT after re-OP in rGBM, which requires further validation.

Temozolomide and ruxolitinib combination modulates miRNA-associated regulatory networks in glioblastoma stem cells. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Overall, our findings suggest that TMZ may induce oncogenic miRNA expression as part of an adaptive response, while ruxolitinib may counteract this effect. Targeting miRNA-mediated regulatory networks in combination with pathway inhibition may represent a promising strategy to overcome therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma.

Overexpression of miR-219 as a potential therapeutic strategy of glioblastoma cells in vitro. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Despite current standard therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide treatment, median survival remains less than 15 months, underscoring the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies, with microRNAs representing a promising approach...Our study indicates that miR-219 may modulate tumor-related processes through the negative regulation of target genes such as REST and AKAP13, while its overexpression appears to reinforce the effects of irradiation and TMZ by reducing malignant properties in GBM cells, in both 2D and 3D, and in increasing apoptotic susceptibility in GBM spheroids. Collectively, these findings support further investigation of miR-219 in the context of GBM therapy and suggest that it may contribute to improved treatment responses and reduced treatment resistance.

Identification of hub mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs involved in temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma (brain cancer) cell lines. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Accordingly, these genes can be incorporated into clinical prognostic models and provide panels of genes for selecting personalized and appropriate therapeutic approaches. Overall, key genes can be suggested as influential genes associated with temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma cell lines.
