GQIcombi application to subdue glioma via differentiation therapy

ABSTRACT: Modern therapy approaches fail to prevent high grade glioma recurrence. So, alternative ways need to be developed. Changing glioma cells’ fate is an alternative way to prevent tumor growth. Two-step protocol based on an antiproliferative G-quadruplex and small molecules triggering neural differentiation showed to be effective on glioblastoma cell cultures. This approach was named a differential therapy. In this paper, we broaden the spectrum of cell cultures to gliomas of II, III and IV grades, showing the universality of suggested protocol on a variety of cancer cells. We checked the reasonability of consistent addition of factors to the glioma cells. Moreover, we demonstrated a significant inhibition of tumor growth after injection of GQIcombi into 101/8 tumor in glioma rat model. Thus, the proposed strategy of influencing on cancer cell growth is applicable to be further translated for therapy use.
