Evaluation of Temozolomide and Fingolimod Treatments in Glioblastoma Preclinical Models.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastomas are malignant brain tumors which remain lethal due to their aggressive and invasive nature. The standard treatment combines surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy using Temozolomide, albeit with a minor impact on patient prognosis (15 months median survival). New therapies evaluated in preclinical translational models are therefore still required to improve patient survival and quality of life. In this preclinical study, we evaluated the effect of Temozolomide in different models of glioblastoma. We also aimed to investigate the efficacy of Fingolimod, an immunomodulatory drug for multiple sclerosis also described as an inhibitor of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor axis. The effects of Fingolimod and Temozolomide were analyzed with in vitro 2D and 3D
