Coronarin D potently suppressed cell viability in glioblastoma U-251 cell line, and also induced G1 arrest by reducing p21 protein and histone H2AX phosphorylation, leading to DNA damage and apoptosis.
Inhibition of ERK signaling specifically down-regulated the expression of calcium-permeable AMPAR subunits, GluA1 and GluA4, and up-regulated calcium-impermeable AMPAR subunit GluA2 implying differential regulation of the expression of calcium-permeable AMPA receptor subunits of glioblastoma.
A clinical trial in which the CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor was added to standard therapy of glioblastoma validated the preclinical findings by demonstrating i) reduced blood flow in the irradiated site, and ii) significantly improved tumor local control compared to GBM patients not treated with plerixafor.
In this study, we investigated the efficacy of combination treatment with TRAIL-secreting human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-TRAIL) and compound C, an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK inhibitor), on glioblastoma.

Inhibition of Casein Kinase II by CX-4945, But Not Yes-associated protein (YAP) by Verteporfin, Enhances the Antitumor Efficacy of Temozolomide in Glioblastoma.
In the current study, we discovered that overexpression of miR-152-3p increased cisplatin sensitivity while inhibition of miR-152-3p decreased cisplatin sensitivity in glioblastoma cells (T98G and U87).
Our data indicated that GOF-mutant SHP2 enhanced the abilities of GBM cells for proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, and promoted tumor growth in vivo.
The GOF-mutant SHP2 promoted GBM cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumor growth through the ERK/CREB pathway, providing a promising target for the treatment of GBM.
Therefore, we have concluded that DR5 plays a novel and indispensable role in promoting cell apoptosis under irradiation and suggest a potential therapeutic approach for glioblastoma treatment.
A multicenter randomized phase III study for newly diagnosed maximally resected glioblastoma comparing carmustine wafer implantation followed by chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide with chemoradiotherapy alone; Japan Clinical Oncology Group Study JCOG1703 (MACS study).

TERT promoter mutations occur in the majority of glioblastoma, bladder cancer (BC), and other malignancies while the ETS family transcription factors GABPA and its partner GABPB1 activate the mutant TERT promoter and telomerase in these tumors.
