Article Abstract
Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) constitutes approximately 14.7 % of all central nervous system tumors (CNSTs) and 45.2 % of primary malignant CNSTs. Extensive research has indicated that β-arrestin 1 (ARRB1) plays a significant role in tumor malignancy. In this investigation, we established GBM cell lines representing normal control (NC), overexpression (OE) and Δexon13 GBM variants (△exon13) of ARRB1. Our findings indicate that the ARRB1-OE isoform facilitated GBM cell proliferation and migration, with the ARRB1-△exon13 isoform further augmenting this effect. Notably, the isoform ARRB1-△exon13 binds to glycolytic proteins including ENO1 and ALDOA and regulates glycolysis. In vivo studies corroborate the tumor-promoting effects of ARRB1-Δexon13. Furthermore, we demonstrate that 2-DG effectively inhibits the malignancy-promoting capabilities of ARRB1-Δexon13 by reducing pyruvate levels. Our identification of alternative RNA splicing events of ARRB1 reveals a mechanism by which GBM cell malignancy is augmented through ARRB1-Δexon13, which mediates glycolysis-related pathways.

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGBM) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma, generally associated with a poorer prognosis than conventional GBM despite maximum resection and standard chemoradiotherapy. Here, we report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with left hemiplegia and a well-circumscribed right frontal lobe lesion on imaging, initially suspected to be a metastatic brain tumor. Surgical resection revealed a firm, clearly demarcated mass.

Histone arginine methylation by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is crucial for transcriptional regulation and is implicated in cancers. Despite their therapeutic potential, some PRMTs present challenges as drug targets due to their context-dependent activities. Here, we demonstrate that hypoxia triggers the rapid condensation of PRMT2, which is essential for its histone H3R8 asymmetric dimethylation (H3R8me2a) activity.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor with limited therapeutic options. Temozolomide (TMZ), a standard-of-care chemotherapeutic agent, exerts its cytotoxicity by alkylating DNA, which triggers a DNA damage response and depletes ATP and NAD. However, TMZ also releases the byproduct 4-amino-5-imidazole carboxamide (AIC), which is believed to be a benign metabolite.

We present UniFORM, a non-parametric, Python-based pipeline for normalizing multiplex tissue imaging (MTI) data at both the feature and pixel levels. UniFORM employs an automated rigid landmark registration method tailored to the distributional characteristics of MTI, with UniFORM operating without prior distributional assumptions and handling both unimodal and bimodal patterns. By aligning the biologically invariant negative populations, UniFORM removes technical variation while preserving tissue-specific expression patterns in positive populations.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive primary brain tumors with poor survival outcomes and a lack of approved therapies. A promising novel approach for GBM is the application of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a localized, light-activated treatment using tumor-selective photosensitizers. This narrative review describes the mechanisms, delivery systems, photosensitizers, and available evidence regarding the potential of PDT as a novel therapeutic approach for GBM.
