Targeting chaperone-mediated autophagy inhibits properties of glioblastoma stem cells and restores anti-tumor immunity. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Additionally, CMA is involved in epigenetic silencing of the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting tumor immune escape via lysosomal degradation of the DNA demethylase TET3. Inhibition of CMA synergizes with immune checkpoint therapy in glioblastoma models, highlighting a potential therapeutic target.

miR-101/METTL3 axis induces autophagy by interrupting FOXG1/EIF3J-AS1 binding in gliomas. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Conversely, miR-101-mediated suppression of METTL3 disrupts EIF3J-AS1-FOXG1 binding, restoring MIF expression and promoting autophagy. These findings highlight EIF3J-AS1 and METTL3 as potential therapeutic targets, with disruption of EIF3J-AS1-FOXG1 interactions representing a novel autophagy-modulating strategy for glioma treatment.

TLR7 modulates glioblastoma progression through PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and immune microenvironment remodeling. (PubMed, Ir J Med Sci)
TLR7 suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting cell progression via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and promoting an anti-tumoral immune microenvironment. These findings suggest the potential of TLR7 as a promising therapeutic target for GBM.

Ras Homolog Enriched in Brain Protein Reverses Amyloid Beta-Induced Escape of Inflammatory Cytokine mRNAs From Immunoisolated RNA Processing Bodies of Glioblastoma Cells. (PubMed, FASEB J)
Our findings suggest that targeting cytokine mRNAs to PBs could be a potential strategy to manage inflammation in activated astroglia in neurodegenerative diseases. At the same time, PB isolation from detergent-permeabilized cells can be an effective, simplified method for studying PB-RNA dynamics in eukaryotic cells.

Dual-targeted bacterial outer membrane vesicles enhance glioblastoma immunotherapy by regulating tumor microenvironment and inducing IFN-γ-mediated ferroptosis. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
Furthermore, IFN-γ facilitates erastin- and RSL-3-induced ferroptosis of tumor cells, particularly in temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant cells. Additionally, OMV-C-C@RSL-3 synergistically suppresses GBM growth in vivo. Thus, biosynthetically engineered OMV-C-C integrates intrinsic immunomodulatory activity with ferroptosis enhancement to strengthen glioblastoma immunotherapies, offering a versatile platform to overcome limitations in brain tumor immunotherapy.

Personalized chronotherapy in glioblastoma: integrating circadian profiling and PK-PD modelling to optimize temozolomide timing. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
A mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model incorporating the clock network recapitulated experimental observations and enabled prediction of treatment timing. Our findings highlight the importance of timing in GBM therapy and propose combining circadian profiling with mathematical modeling to personalize GBM chronotherapy.

α-Conopeptide From Conus planorbis Inhibits Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Angiogenesis via Sonic Hedgehog and ADAMDEC1-FGF2-FGFR1 Loop Signaling Pathway. (PubMed, Chem Biodivers)
Additional chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and brine shrimp lethality tests supported its potent bioactivity, with a lower LD50 (50.24 µg/mL) compared to temozolomide (125.82 µg/mL). These findings indicate that the α-conopeptide from C. planorbis possesses multi-target anticancer activity targeting via SHH and FGFR1 loop signaling pathway, structural stability, and superior cytotoxic potency against GBM, highlighting its potential as a novel marine-derived therapeutic agent.

Disarming the Hsp70-Bim Alliance: Small-Molecule and Peptidic Disruptors of a Chaperone-Apoptotic Switch in Cancer. (PubMed, ChemistryOpen)
A fragment-assisted screen then delivered a phenalene-dicarbonitrile chemotype, S1g-2, and optimized analogs that displace Bim with sub-micromolar potency, dismantle Hsp70-client hubs, and resensitize resistant xenografts to imatinib or tamoxifen without global proteostasis collapse. Future directions include covalent or macrocyclic wedges, degrader hybrids, and adaptive pulse-dose regimens guided by proximity-ligation assays. Collectively, chemical disarming of the Hsp70-Bim alliance exemplifies how precision targeting of chaperone PPIs can recalibrate apoptotic thresholds and unlock new therapeutic space in oncology.
