Abstract
RATIONALE Meningioma and glioblastoma (GBM) are 2 common intracranial tumors with different pathophysiologies and prognoses. It is rare for these 2 kinds of tumors to occur in the same patient. Most of the similar cases reported in the literature have been treated with radiotherapy, while cases without radiotherapy are rare. In particular, GBM in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere after resection of meningioma has not been reported. PATIENT CONCERNS We present a case of a 66-years-old man with GBM in the right temporal lobe after previous resection of a benign meningioma of the left frontal lobe without radiotherapy. DIAGNOSES The patient was admitted to our hospital for the first time because of right upper limb weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging indicated a space-occupying lesion in the left frontal area. Surgical treatment was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed a meningioma. The patient was readmitted to the hospital 3 years after surgery of the meningioma due to a new lesion of the right temporal lobe and underwent reoperation. The postoperative pathological results showed GBM. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent 2 operations, and the postoperative pathologies were meningioma and GBM. In addition, the patient received concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 2 cycles of temozolomide adjuvant chemotherapy. OUTCOMES During the last 4 months of follow-up, the patient was in good condition with no recurrence of the tumor. LESSONS The development of GBM without radiotherapy after meningioma surgery is very rare, especially at different sites, and it is necessary to accumulate relevant cases to reveal the causes of the disease and provide more evidence for the treatment of similar patients in the future.

[PMID: 34064748 PMCID: PMC8151583 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13102291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Resistance of cancer cells to current chemotherapeutic drugs has obliged the scientific community to seek innovative compounds. Ferrocifens, lipophilic organometallic compounds composed of a tamoxifen scaffold covalently bound to a ferrocene moiety, have shown very interesting antiproliferative, cytotoxic and immunologic effects. The formation of ferrocenyl quinone methide plays a crucial role in the multifaceted activity of ferrocifens. Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs), meanwhile, are nanoparticles obtained by a free organic solvent process. LNCs consist of an oily core surrounded by amphiphilic surfactants and are perfectly adapted to encapsulate these hydrophobic compounds. The different in vitro and in vivo experiments performed with this ferrocifen-loaded nanocarrier have revealed promising results in several multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines such as glioblastoma, breast cancer and metastatic melanoma, alone or in combination with other therapies. This review provides an exhaustive summary of the use of ferrocifen-loaded LNCs as a promising nanomedicine, outlining the ferrocifen mechanisms of action on cancer cells, the nanocarrier formulation process and the in vivo results obtained over the last two decades.

Blockade of CD73 delays glioblastoma growth by modulating the immune environment. Cancer Immunol Immunother 2020; 69:1801-1812. [PMID: 32350590 DOI: 10.1007/s00262-020-02569-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Immunotherapy as an approach for cancer treatment is clinically promising. CD73, which is the enzyme that produces extracellular adenosine, favors cancer progression and protects the tumor from immune surveillance. While CD73 has recently been demonstrated to be a potential target for glioma treatment, its role in regulating the inflammatory tumor microenvironment has not yet been investigated. Thus, this study explores the immunotherapeutic value of the CD73 blockade in glioblastoma. The immuno-therapeutic value of the CD73 blockade was evaluated in vivo in immunocompetent pre-clinical glioblastoma model. As such, glioblastoma-bearing rats were nasally treated for 15 days with a siRNA CD73-loaded cationic-nanoemulsion (NE-siRNA CD73R). Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry using Annexin-V staining and cell proliferation was analyzed by Ki67 expression by immunohistochemistry. The frequencies of the CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+CD25highCD39+ (Treg) T lymphocytes; CD11b+CD45high macrophages; CD11b+CD45low-microglia; and CD206+-M2-like phenotypes, along with expression levels of CD39 and CD73 in tumor and tumor-associated immune cells, were determined using flow cytometry, while inflammatory markers associated with tumor progression were evaluated using RT-qPCR. The CD73 blockade by NE-siRNA CD73 was found to induce tumor cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, the population of Tregs, microglia, and macrophages was significantly reduced in the tumor microenvironment, though IL-6, CCL17, and CCL22 increased. The treatment selectively decreased CD73 expression in the GB cells as well as in the tumor-associated-macrophages/microglia. This study indicates that CD73 knockdown using a nanotechnological approach to perform nasal delivery of siRNA-CD73 to CNS can potentially regulate the glioblastoma immune microenvironment and delay tumor growth by inducing apoptosis.

Abstract
SB365, a saponin D extracted from the roots of Pulsatilla koreana, has been reported to show cytotoxicity in several cancer cell lines. We investigated the effects of SB365 on U87-MG and T98G glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells, and its efficacy in combination with temozolomide for treating GBM. SB365 exerted a cytotoxic effect on GBM cells not by inducing apoptosis, as in other cancer cell lines, but by triggering caspase-independent cell death. Inhibition of autophagic flux and neutralization of the lysosomal pH occurred rapidly after application of SB365, followed by deterioration of mitochondrial membrane potential. A cathepsin B inhibitor and N-acetyl cysteine, an antioxidant, partially recovered cell death induced by SB365. SB365 in combination with temozolomide exerted an additive cytotoxic effect in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, SB365 inhibits autophagic flux and induces caspase-independent cell death in GBM cells in a manner involving cathepsin B and mainly reactive oxygen species, and its use in combination with temozolomide shows promise for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Swainsonine is a natural indolizidine alkaloid, its anti-tumor activity has been widely reported in varied cancers. This study aimed to investigate whether Swainsonine exerted anti-tumor impact on glioma cells, likewise uncovered the relative molecular mechanisms. METHODS After administration with diverse concentrations of Swainsonine, cell growth, migration and invasion in U251 and LN444 cells were appraised by the common-used CCK-8, BrdU, flow cytometry and Transwell assays. MiR-92a mimic, inhibitor and the correlative NC were transfected into U251 and LN444 cells, and assessment of miR-92a expression was by utilizing qRT-PCR. Functions of miR-92a in above-mentioned cell biological processes were analyzed again in Swainsonine-treated cells. The momentous proteins of cell cycle, apoptosis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were ultimately examined by western blot. RESULTS Swainsonine significantly hindered cell proliferation through decreasing cell viability, declining the percentage of BrdU cells, down-regulating CyclinD1 and up-regulating p16 expression. Enhancement of percentage of apoptotic cells was presented in Swainsonine-treated cells via activating cleaved-Caspase-3 and cleaved-Caspase-9. Additionally, Swainsonine impeded the abilities of migration and invasion by decreasing MMP-2, MMP-9, Vimentin and E-cadherin. Repression of miR-92a was observed in Swainsonine-treated cells, and miR-92a overexpression overturned the anti-tumor activity of Swainsonine in glioma cells. Finally, western blot assay displayed that Swainsonine hindered PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway via regulating miR-92a. CONCLUSIONS These discoveries corroborated that Swainsonine exerted anti-tumor impacts on glioma cells via repression of miR-92a, and inactivation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most common type of malignant tumours with high morbidity and mortality rates. Due to the particular features of the brain, such as blood-brain barrier or blood-tumour barrier, therapeutic agents are ineffective by systemic administration. The tumour inevitably recurs and devitalises patients. Herein, an overview of the localised gliomas treatment strategies is provided, including direct intratumoural/intracerebral injection, convection-enhanced delivery, and the implant of biodegradable polymer systems. The advantages and disadvantages of each therapy are discussed. Subsequently, we have reviewed the recent developments of therapeutic delivery systems aimed at transporting sufficient amounts of antineoplastic drugs into the brain tumour sites while minimising the potential side effects. To treat gliomas, localised and controlled delivery of drugs at their desired site of action is preferred as it reduces toxicity and increases treatment efficiency. Simultaneously, various drug delivery systems (DDS) have been used to enhance drug delivery to the brain. Use of non-conventional DDS for localised therapy has greatly expanded the spectrum of drugs available for the treatment of malignant tumours. Use smart DDS via localised delivery strategies, in combination with radiotherapy and multiple drug loading would serve as a promising approach to treat gliomas.
