Targeting Glioblastoma Stem Cells through Disruption of the Circadian Clock [Research Articles]
Glioblastomas are highly lethal cancers, containing self-renewing glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). Here, we show that GSCs, differentiated glioblastoma cells (DGCs), and non-malignant brain cultures all displayed robust circadian rhythms, yet GSCs alone displayed exquisite dependence on core clock transcription factors, BMAL1 and CLOCK, for optimal cell growth. Downregulation of BMAL1 or CLOCK in GSCs induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed BMAL1 preferentially...

Males, ≤70 years old, severely smoking, and patients with lower tumor differentiation often have NED, and most of them are stage IV. This type of patient-driven gene positive proportion is lower than the general adenocarcinoma population, less sensitive to chemotherapy, and the overall survival is shorte r, indicating a poor prognosis.
