Brain tumours are one of the most deadly and noticeable types of cancer, affecting both children and adults. One of the major drawbacks in brain tumour identification is the late diagnosis and high cost of brain tumour-detecting devices. Most existing approaches use ML algorithms to address problems, but they have drawbacks such as low accuracy, high loss, and high computing cost.

The concept of dual-state hyper-energy metabolism characterized by elevated glycolysis and OxPhos has gained considerable attention during tumor growth and metastasis in different malignancies. However, it is largely unknown how such metabolic phenotypes influence the radiation response in aggressive cancers. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of hyper-energy metabolism (increased glycolysis and OxPhos) on the radiation response of a human glioma cell line.

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) like bacterial cell wall components and viral nucleic acids are known ligands of innate inflammatory receptors that trigger multiple inflammatory pathways that may result in acute inflammation and oxidative stress-driven tissue and organ toxicity. When dysregulated, this inflammation may lead to acute toxicity and multiorgan failure. Inflammatory events are often driven by high energy demands and macromolecular biosynthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how enhanced glycolysis in human glioma cell lines affects their response to carbon ion irradiation (CII) compared to X-ray exposure.
  • Using Dinitrophenol (DNP) to stimulate glycolysis, researchers observed increased glucose uptake and the expression of glycolytic regulators, which suggested that glycolysis was activated.
  • Results showed that this enhanced glycolysis provided resistance to X-ray-induced damage and reduced cytogenetic harm and cell death, while having a minimal impact on CII response, indicating a significant difference in how glioma cells respond to the two types of radiation.

Article Synopsis
  • * Current diagnostic methods like PET, CT, and MRS have improved early cancer detection and treatment management but face challenges such as high costs and difficulty in pinpointing deep tumors.
  • * The review highlights new technological advancements and cost-effective diagnostic tools that could improve cancer diagnosis and management, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
