Glioma initiating cells (GICs), also known as glioma stem (GSCs), play an important role in the progression and recurrence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) due to their potential for self-renewal, multiple differentiation tumor initiation. In recent years, Notch1 has been found be overexpressed GICs. However, regulatory mechanism self-renewal invasion ability GICs remains unclear. This study aims explore effect Notch pathway on underlying mechanisms. Bioinformatic analysis...

Autophagy is a vital process that involves degradation of long-lived proteins and dysfunctional organelles contributes to cellular metabolism. Glioma-initiating cells (GICs) have the ability self-renew, differentiate into heterogeneous types tumor cells, sustain tumorigenicity; thus, GICs lead recurrence. Accumulating evidence indicates autophagy can induce stem cell differentiation increase lethality temozolomide against GICs. However, mechanism underlying regulation GIC self-renewal by...

Clinical trials involving anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (anti-PD-1) failed to demonstrate improved overall survival in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. This may be due the expression of alternative checkpoints such as B- and T- lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) on several immune types including regulatory T cells. Murine GBM models indicate that there is significant upregulation BTLA tumor microenvironment (TME) with associated exhaustion. We investigate use antibodies against PD-1 reversing...
