Radioresistant glioma stem cells--therapeutic obstacle or promising target?

Abstract:

:Attempts to improve outcomes for patients with glioblastoma multiforme have focused largely on dose intensification and multimodal therapy and have been met with limited success. An alternative approach involves identifying and targeting the mechanisms responsible for tumour resistance. Recent data suggests that these high grade malignancies harbour a population of glioma stem cells that are both radioresistant and capable of initiating tumour regrowth. Furthermore, the radioresistant phenotype may be the consequence of constitutively upregulated and hyper-responsive cell cycle checkpoint pathways. This article considers whether these findings herald the dawn of a new era of effective, targeted therapy for this refractory tumour.

  • Protein ADP-ribosylation and the cellular response to DNA strand breaks.

    abstract::DNA strand breaks arise continuously in cells and can lead to chromosome rearrangements and genome instability or cell death. The commonest DNA breaks are DNA single-strand breaks, which arise at a frequency of tens-of-thousands per cell each day and which can block the progression of RNA/DNA polymerases and disrupt g...
