Molecular Physiology of G-CIMP+ Glioblastomas: Therapeutic Implications
Journal Title: Journal of Gene Therapy - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
A fundamental premise of gene therapy as it pertains to oncology is precision medicine, whereby therapeutic intervention is matched to unique vulnerabilities dictated molecular physiology of the cancer [1]. Cancers previously thought to be single clinical entities are now stratified based on these molecular physiologies [2]. As an example, glioblastoma, the most common form of primary adult brain cancer [3], is now recognized as an umbrella term that encapsulates a spectrum of subtypes that are defined by shared molecular physiologies [4]. A notable glioblastoma subtype involves the Glioma CpG IslandMethylator (G-CIMP) phenotype.

Background: Recognition sequences for microRNAs (miRs) that are down-regulated in tumor cells have recently been used to render lytic viruses tumor-specific. Since different tumor types downregulate different miRs, this...
