Abstract
In the context of glioblastoma (GBM), hypoxia and inflammation are two main players of the tumor microenvironment. Hypoxia stimulates various features involves in tumor growth and also maintains a specific environment that favors protumor macrophages. Therefore, targeting hypoxia could potentially restore an anti-tumor M1 phenotype in macrophages. Besides, iron demonstrated its capacity to stimulate the polarization of macrophages towards an M1-like phenotype. In this paper we took advantages of microporous nanoparticles to co-deliver both oxygen and iron to bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) enabling the investigation of changes in polarization status and proteomic profiles. The nanoparticles were used in two in vivo models of glioblastoma, specifically, in both immunodeficient and immunocompetent settings. Our in vitro findings revealed that iron doped nanoparticles, saturated with oxygen were deemed safe for macrophages but did not demonstrate the capacity to change the M1 or M2 phenotypes. However, these nanoparticles induced some changes in proteomics pathways. The present study reports on in vivo experimentation that revealed the effects of nanoparticles on the hypoxic fraction, tumor volume, and macrophage phenotype in a GBM model. The findings indicated that the presence of nanoparticles led to a reduction in the hypoxic fraction in one of the GBM models, while no significant changes were observed in the tumor volume or macrophage phenotype. The present data showed that nanoparticles possess the capability of delivering both oxygen and iron to macrophages; though, they do not possess the ability to effectively repolarize M2 macrophages. Such strategies could be used in conjunction with other potent molecules to avoid M1 macrophages to inevitably differentiate to M2 macrophages.

Abstract
Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) or arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI with hypercapnic stimuli allow for measuring cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). Hypercapnic stimuli are also employed in calibrated BOLD functional MRI for quantifying neuronally-evoked changes in cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2). It is often assumed that hypercapnic stimuli (with or without hyperoxia) are iso-metabolic; increasing arterial CO2 or O2 does not affect CMRO2. We evaluated the null hypothesis that two common hypercapnic stimuli, 'CO2 in air' and carbogen, are iso-metabolic. TRUST and ASL MRI were used to measure the cerebral venous oxygenation and cerebral blood flow (CBF), from which the oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and CMRO2 were calculated for room-air, 'CO2 in air' and carbogen. As expected, CBF significantly increased (9.9% ± 9.3% and 12.1% ± 8.8% for 'CO2 in air' and carbogen, respectively). CMRO2 decreased for 'CO2 in air' (-13.4% ± 13.0%, p < 0.01) compared to room-air, while the CMRO2 during carbogen did not significantly change. Our findings indicate that 'CO2 in air' is not iso-metabolic, while carbogen appears to elicit a mixed effect; the CMRO2 reduction during hypercapnia is mitigated when including hyperoxia. These findings can be important for interpreting measurements using hypercapnic or hypercapnic-hyperoxic (carbogen) stimuli.

The Extension of the LeiCNS-PK3.0 Model in Combination with the "Handshake" Approach to Understand Brain Tumor Pathophysiology. Pharm Res 2022; 39:1343-1361.

Abstract
Micrometastatic brain tumor cells, which cause recurrence of malignant brain tumors, are often protected by the intact blood–brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, it is essential to deliver effective drugs across not only the disrupted blood-tumor barrier (BTB) but also the intact BBB to effectively treat malignant brain tumors. Our aim is to predict pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles in brain tumor regions with the disrupted BTB and the intact BBB to support the successful drug development for malignant brain tumors. LeiCNS-PK3.0, a comprehensive central nervous system (CNS) physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, was extended to incorporate brain tumor compartments. Most pathophysiological parameters of brain tumors were obtained from literature and two missing parameters of the BTB, paracellular pore size and expression level of active transporters, were estimated by fitting existing data, like a “handshake”. Simultaneous predictions were made for PK profiles in extracellular fluids (ECF) of brain tumors and normal-appearing brain and validated on existing data for six small molecule anticancer drugs. The LeiCNS-tumor model predicted ECF PK profiles in brain tumor as well as normal-appearing brain in rat brain tumor models and high-grade glioma patients within twofold error for most data points, in combination with estimated paracellular pore size of the BTB and active efflux clearance at the BTB. Our model demonstrated a potential to predict PK profiles of small molecule drugs in brain tumors, for which quantitative information on pathophysiological alterations is available, and contribute to the efficient and successful drug development for malignant brain tumors.

Abstract
Lung cancer patients frequently develop brain metastases (BM). Despite aggressive treatment including neurosurgery and external-radiotherapy, overall survival remains poor. There is a pressing need to further characterize factors in the microenvironment of BM that may confer resistance to radiotherapy (RT), such as hypoxia. Here, hypoxia was first evaluated in 28 biopsies from patients with non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) BM, using CA-IX immunostaining. Hypoxia characterization (pimonidazole, CA-IX and HIF-1α) was also performed in different preclinical NSCLC BM models induced either by intracerebral injection of tumor cells (H2030-Br3M, H1915) into the cortex and striatum, or intracardial injection of tumor cells (H2030-Br3M). Additionally, [18F]-FMISO-PET and oxygen-saturation-mapping-MRI (SatO2-MRI) were carried out in the intracerebral BM models to further characterize tumor hypoxia and evaluate the potential of Hypoxia-image-guided-RT (HIGRT). The effect of RT on proliferation of BM ([18F]-FLT-PET), tumor volume and overall survival was determined. We showed that hypoxia is a major yet heterogeneous feature of BM from lung cancer both preclinically and clinically. HIGRT, based on hypoxia heterogeneity observed between cortical and striatal metastases in the intracerebrally induced models, showed significant potential for tumor control and animal survival. These results collectively highlight hypoxia as a hallmark of BM from lung cancer and the value of HIGRT in better controlling tumor growth.

Abstract
A physiologically relevant glioma tumor model is important to the study of disease progression and screening drug candidates. However, current preclinical glioma models lack the brain microenvironment, and the established tumor cell lines do not represent glioma biology and cannot be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Here, we reported a real-time integrated system by generating 3D ex vivo cerebral organoids and in vivo xenograft tumors based on glioma patient-derived tissues and cells. Our system faithfully recapitulated the histological features, response to chemotherapy drugs, and clinical progression of their corresponding parental tumors. Additionally, our model successfully identified a case from a grade II astrocytoma patient with typical grade IV GBM features in both organoids and xenograft models, which mimicked the disease progression of this patient. Further genomic and transcriptomic characterization was associated with individual clinical features. We have demonstrated the "GBM-&Normal-like" signature to predict prognosis. In conclusion, we developed an integrated system of parallel models from patient-derived glioma cerebral organoids and xenografts for understanding the glioma biology and prediction of response to chemotherapy drugs, which might lead to a new strategy for personalized treatment for this deadly disease.

Prolonged Hyperoxygenation Treatment Improves Vein Graft Patency and Decreases Macrophage Content in Atherosclerotic Lesions in ApoE3*Leiden Mice. Cells 2020; 9:cells9020336.

Abstract
Unstable atherosclerotic plaques frequently show plaque angiogenesis which increases the chance of rupture and thrombus formation leading to infarctions. Hypoxia plays a role in angiogenesis and inflammation, two processes involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We aim to study the effect of resolution of hypoxia using carbogen gas (95% O2, 5% CO2) on the remodeling of vein graft accelerated atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice which harbor plaque angiogenesis. Single treatment resulted in a drastic decrease of intraplaque hypoxia, without affecting plaque composition. Daily treatment for three weeks resulted in 34.5% increase in vein graft patency and increased lumen size. However, after three weeks intraplaque hypoxia was comparable to the controls, as were the number of neovessels and the degree of intraplaque hemorrhage. To our surprise we found that three weeks of treatment triggered ROS accumulation and subsequent Hif1a induction, paralleled with a reduction in the macrophage content, pointing to an increase in lesion stability. Similar to what we observed in vivo, in vitro induction of ROS in bone marrow derived macrophages lead to increased Hif1a expression and extensive DNA damage and apoptosis. Our study demonstrates that carbogen treatment did improve vein graft patency and plaque stability and reduced intraplaque macrophage accumulation via ROS mediated DNA damage and apoptosis but failed to have long term effects on hypoxia and intraplaque angiogenesis.

Abstract
Severe hypoxia [oxygen partial pressure (pO2) below 5–10 mmHg] is more frequent in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) compared to lower-grade gliomas. Seminal studies in the 1950s demonstrated that hypoxia was associated with increased resistance to low–linear energy transfer (LET) ionizing radiation. In experimental conditions, the total radiation dose has to be multiplied by a factor of 3 to achieve the same cell lethality in anoxic situations. The presence of hypoxia in human tumors is assumed to contribute to treatment failures after radiotherapy (RT) in cancer patients. Therefore, a logical way to overcome hypoxia-induced radioresistance would be to deliver substantially higher doses of RT in hypoxic volumes delineated on pre-treatment imaging as biological target volumes (BTVs). Such an approach faces various fundamental, technical, and clinical challenges. The present review addresses several technical points related to the delineation of hypoxic zones, which include: spatial accuracy, quantitative vs. relative threshold, variations of hypoxia levels during RT, and availability of hypoxia tracers. The feasibility of hypoxia imaging as an assessment tool for early tumor response to RT and for predicting long-term outcomes is discussed. Hypoxia imaging for RT dose painting is likewise examined. As for the radiation oncologist's point of view, hypoxia maps should be converted into dose-distribution objectives for RT planning. Taking into account the physics and the radiobiology of various irradiation beams, preliminary in silico studies are required to investigate the feasibility of dose escalation in terms of normal tissue tolerance before clinical trials are undertaken.

Abstract
PURPOSE Literature reports contradicting results on the response of brain tumors to vascular stimuli measured in T2*-weighted MRI. Here, we analyzed the potential dependency of the MRI-response to (hypercapnic) hyperoxia on the order of the gas administration. METHODS T2* values were quantified at 3 Tesla in eight consenting patients at rest and during inhalation of hyperoxic/hypercapnic gas mixtures. Patients were randomly divided into two groups undergoing different gas administration protocols (group A: medical air-pure oxygen-carbogen; group B: medical air-carbogen-pure oxygen). Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed rank test have been used to proof differences in T2* regarding respiratory challenge or different groups, respectively. RESULTS T2* values at rest for gray and white matter were 50.3 ± 2.6 ms and 46.1 ± 2.0 ms, respectively, and slightly increased during challenge. In tumor areas, T2* at rest were: necrosis = 74.1 ± 10.1 ms; edema = 60.3 ± 17.6 ms; contrast-enhancing lesions = 48.6 ± 20.7 ms; and solid T2-hyperintense lesions = 45.0 ± 3.0 ms. Contrast-enhancing lesions strongly responded to oxygen (+ 20.7%) regardless on the gas protocol (p = 0.482). However, the response to carbogen significantly depended on the order of gas administration (group A, + 18.6%; group B, - 6.4%, p = 0.042). In edemas, a different trend between group was found when breathing oxygen (group A, - 9.9%; group B, + 19.5%, p = 0.057). CONCLUSION Preliminary results show a dependency of the T2* response of contrast-enhancing brain tumor lesions on the order of the gas administration. The gas administration protocol is an important factor in the interpretation of the T2*-response in areas of abnormal vascular growth.
