Advances on the therapeutic potential of cell receptor activation in glioblastoma

Gerson G Contreras-Chávez et al. Mol Biol Rep. .

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor. Current therapies have been unable to improve life expectancy in patients. This cancer is frequently accompanied by overexpression of receptors, such as EGFR, VEGFR and TLRs, involved in the regulation of inflammation, cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The present review summarizes current knowledge from preclinical and clinical studies investigating the role of pattern recognition and tyrosine kinase receptors in glioblastoma development and evolution, and their possible use to improve treatment outcomes and patient survival.

Keywords: Cell signaling pathways; Glioblastoma.
