Abstract
PURPOSE Ferroptosis acts as an important regulator in diverse human tumors, including the glioma. This study aimed to screen potential ferroptosis-related genes involved in the progression of glioma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differently expressed genes (DEGs) were screened based on GSE31262 and GSE12657 datasets, and ferroptosis-related genes were separated. Among the important hub genes in the protein-protein interaction networks, HNRNPM was selected as a research target. Following the knockdown of HNRNPM, the viability, migration, and invasion were detected by CCK8, wound healing, and transwell assays, respectively. The role of HNRNPM knockdown was also verified in a xenograft tumor model in mice. Immunohistochemistry detected the expression levels of HNRNPM and Ki67. Moreover, the ferroptosis was evaluated according to the levels of iron, glutathione peroxidase (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as the expression of PTGS2, GPX4, and FTH1. RESULTS Total 41 overlapping DEGs relating with ferroptosis and glioma were screened, among which 4 up-regulated hub genes (HNRNPM, HNRNPA3, RUVBL1, and SNRPPF) were determined. The up-regulation of HNRNPM presented a certain predictive value for glioma. In addition, knockdown of HNRNPM inhibited the viability, migration, and invasion of glioma cells in vitro, and also the tumor growth in mice. Notably, knockdown of HNRNPM enhanced the ferroptosis in glioma cells. Furthermore, HNRNPM was positively associated with SMARCA4 in glioma. CONCLUSIONS Knockdown of HNRNPM inhibits the progression of glioma via inducing ferroptosis. HNRNPM is a promising molecular target for the treatment of glioma via inducing ferroptosis. We provided new insights of glioma progression and potential therapeutic guidance.

Challenges for the development of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 inhibitors to treat glioma. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 257:115464. [PMID: 37235998 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Glioma is one of the most common types of brain tumors, and its high recurrence and mortality rates threaten human health. In 2008, the frequent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations in glioma were reported, which brought a new strategy in the treatment of this challenging disease. In this perspective, we first discuss the possible gliomagenesis after IDH1 mutations (mIDH1). Subsequently, we systematically investigate the reported mIDH1 inhibitors and present a comparative analysis of the ligand-binding pocket in mIDH1. Additionally, we also discuss the binding features and physicochemical properties of different mIDH1 inhibitors to facilitate the future development of mIDH1 inhibitors. Finally, we discuss the possible selectivity features of mIDH1 inhibitors against WT-IDH1 and IDH2 by combining protein-based and ligand-based information. We hope that this perspective can inspire the development of mIDH1 inhibitors and bring potent mIDH1 inhibitors for the treatment of glioma.

Abstract
Aim: This study aims to determine the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at different pressure values on cell morphology and cell survival in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.
Materials and Methods: The experimental groups were formed by applying 100% oxygen to MCF-7 breast cancer cells at 1.5, 2, and 2.5 atmospheres for 2 hours. The control group did not receive treatment. At the end of the experiment, cell survival was investigated by CCK-8 analysis, cell shapes were determined by cresyl violet staining, and cell surface morphologies were determined by scanning electron microscope.
Results: Cell viability was significantly reduced at atmospheric pressure of 1.5, 2, and 2.5 compared to the control group (p < 0.005). As pressure increased, the surface area of the cell decreased, nuclear condensation increased, and the cell borders became irregular. Cell membrane bleb and cell membrane porosity increased at 2 and 2.5 atmospheres.
Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy severely reduces the viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells under increased pressure. It can induce apoptosis and change the shape and surface morphology of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Although further studies are needed, our study supports the potential use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of breast cancer.

Frosina G. Most recent update of preclinical and clinical data on radioresistance and radiosensitivity of high-grade gliomas-a radiation oncologist's perspective. Strahlenther Onkol 2023; 199:1-21. [PMID: 36445383 DOI: 10.1007/s00066-022-02020-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This review article discusses the studies concerning advances in radiotherapy of high-grade gliomas published in the second half of 2021. METHODS A literature search was performed in PubMed using the terms ("gliom* and radio*") and time limits 1 July 2021-31 December 2021. The articles were then manually selected for relevance to the analyzed topics. RESULTS Considerable progress has been made in the preclinical field on the mechanisms of radioresistance and radiosensitization of high-grade gliomas (HGG). However, fewer early-phase (I/II) clinical trials have been performed and, of the latter, even fewer have produced results that justify moving to phase III. In the 6‑month period under consideration, no studies were published that would lead to a change in clinical practice and the overall survival (OS) of patients remained similar to that of 2005, the year in which it increased significantly for the last time thanks to introduction of the alkylating agent temozolomide. CONCLUSION After 17 years of stalemate in improving the OS of patients with HGG, an in-depth analysis of the causes should be carried out in order to identify whether the research efforts conducted so far, including in the radiotherapeutic field, have been the most effective or require improvement. In our opinion, in addition to the therapeutic difficulties related to the biology of HGG tumors (e.g., high infiltrating capacity, multiple resistance mechanisms, blood-brain barrier), some public research policy choices may also play a role, especially in consideration of the limited interest of the pharmaceutical industry in the field of rare cancers.

Abstract
Glioma, originated from the neuroectoderm, is one of the prevalent tumors. It is reported that ginsenoside Rh2, a compound extracted from Panax ginseng, shows pharmacological activity in inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of glioma cells. However, the precise underlying mechanism has not been completely clarified. In this study, the molecular mechanism of ginsenoside Rh2 in glioma treatment was investigated using network pharmacology, through which the target of ginsenoside Rh2 in glioma treatment was screened, and further the biological functions were analyzed by gene ontology biological annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment. In total, 80 potential targets of ginsenoside Rh2 for glioma treatment were screened. Biological functions analysis revealed that ginsenoside Rh2 was associated with several cancer-related signaling pathways such as VEGF signaling pathway, thereby regulating cell processes, including cell migration and cell proliferation, which suggests that ginsenoside Rh2 targets multiple genes, further mediating indicated signaling network in anti-glioma and providing a potential mechanism of ginsenoside Rh2 in glioma treatment.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. The mainstay of management for GBM is surgical resection, radiation (RT), and chemotherapy (CT). Even with optimized multimodal treatment, GBM has a high recurrence and poor survival rates ranging from 12 to 24 months in most patients. Recently, relevant advances in understanding GBM pathophysiology have opened new avenues for therapies for recurrent and newly diagnosed diseases. GBM's hypoxic microenvironment has been shown to be highly associated with aggressive biology and resistance to RT and CT. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may increase anticancer therapy sensitivity by increasing oxygen tension within the hypoxic regions of the neoplastic tissue. Previous data have investigated HBOT in combination with cytostatic compounds, with an improvement of neoplastic tissue oxygenation, inhibition of HIF-1α activity, and a significant reduction in the proliferation of GBM cells. The biological effect of ionizing radiation has been reported to be higher when it is delivered under well-oxygenated rather than anoxic conditions. Several hypoxia-targeting strategies reported that HBOT showed the most significant effect that could potentially improve RT outcomes, with higher response rates and survival and no serious adverse events. However, further prospective and randomized studies are necessary to validate HBOT's effectiveness in the 'real world' GBM clinical practice.

Abstract
Gliomas are common brain mass with a high mortality rate. Patients with gliomas have a severely bad outcome, with an average survive duration less 15 months because of high recurrent rate and being resistant to radio-therapy and chemistry drugs therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen is extensively taken as an adjuvant treatment for various disease conditions. To know the characteristics of hyperbaric oxygen as a remedy for gliomas, we find that, in general, hyperbaric oxygen shows an obviously positive effect on the treatment of gliomas, and it can also relieve the complications caused by postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy of gliomas. Whereas, several researches have shown that hyperbaric oxygen promotes glioma progression.
