The antitumor efficacy of temozolomide against three different intracranial tumor models was significantly enhanced when Abcb1a/b and Abcg2 were genetically deficient or pharmacologically inhibited in recipient mice.
The aim of this study was to assess human intracranial tumours for their gene expression pattern of the vasoactive peptide adrenomedullin (AM), its receptor (AM-R) and leptin, which exerts multiple biological effects including proliferation and angiogenesis via the leptin receptor (OB-Rb).
Characterization of the genomic landscapes of intracranial tumours has revealed a clear role for the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway in tumorigenesis and tumour maintenance of these malignancies, making phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibition a promising therapeutic strategy for these tumours.
In this study we examined whether the ALADG177C polymorphism in the gene coding for ALAD is associated with risk of intracranial tumors of the brain and nervous system.
Effects of colloid pre-loading on thromboelastography during elective intracranial tumor surgery in pediatric patients: hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 versus 5% human albumin.
Key Messages: Next-generation ALK-TKIs are now replacing crizotinib as first-line treatment in ALKi-naïve ALK rearrangement NSCLC patients with brain metastasis, and they alone might have a strong efficacy against intracranial tumors in crizotinib-refractory situations in which occasion radiotherapy might be omitted.
Apoptosis-related gene expressions Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by qPCR and Western blot; intracranial tumor model of PCNSL was established by intracranial injection of OCI-LY18 tumor cells into BALB/c-Nude mice.
Further, treatment with the combination of taxol and Bcl-2 siRNA caused suppression of intracranial tumour growth and subcutaneous solid tumour development.
In contrast, the overexpression of other highlighted genes, such as BCL2A1, did not affect the incidence of CNS metastases but nevertheless appears to facilitate intracranial tumor growth.
This study assesses the BRAFV600E mutation status in 969 intracranial neoplasms using a tissue microarray method and immunohistochemical staining with the mutation-specific VE-1 antibody, followed by sequencing of positively stained cases.
This study was performed to examine the quality of planning and treatment modality using a CyberKnife (CK) robotic radiosurgery system with multileaf collimator (MLC)-based plans and IRIS (variable aperture collimator system)-based plans in relation to the dose-response of secondary cancer risk (SCR) in patients with benign intracranial tumors.
Further, the ability of scFv PD-L1 to rescue PD-1/PD-L1 mediated immune suppression was demonstrated in a co-culture system consisting of human-derived immune cells and further demonstrated in several syngeneic mouse models including an intracranial tumor model.
We further show that inhibition of the splicing regulatory cdc2-like kinases in combination with an ERR-β agonist shifts isoform expression in favor of ERR-β2 and potentiates inhibition of growth and migration in GBM cells and intracranial tumors.-Tiek, D. M., Khatib, S. A., Trepicchio, C. J., Heckler, M. M., Divekar, S. D., Sarkaria, J. N., Glasgow, E., Riggins, R. B. Estrogen-related receptor β activation and isoform shifting by cdc2-like kinase inhibition restricts migration and intracranial tumor growth in glioblastoma.
