This may be achieved by either identifying new molecules or through drug repurposing. To ascertain the therapeutic potential of known GSK-3β and/or PDE7 inhibitors in GB, a drug screening was conducted using a <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> glioma model. VP3.15, a dual inhibitor with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles in multiple sclerosis, was selected for further investigation. VP3.15 demonstrated robust anti-tumor efficacy against a panel of human and mouse GB cells; however, its capacity to inhibit orthotopic growth was only observed in a wild-type PTEN cell line. The <em>in vivo</em> dependence on PTEN was further suggested with the results in fly gliomas. The analysis of the VP3.15-treated tissues revealed a notable reduction in the number of myeloid cells and in the degree of vascularization. Mechanistic studies indicate that VP3.15 diminishes the production of GAL9, a key molecule that stimulates pro-angiogenic macrophages. Our findings substantiate the pro-tumoral function of GSK-3β, which might depend on the <em>PTEN</em> genetic status. Furthermore, we have delineated the therapeutic potential of VP3.15, which acts through the inhibition of the supportive role of the GB microenvironment. This molecule could be safely and effectively utilized after PTEN characterization in GB patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19159,"journal":{"name":"Neurotherapeutics","volume":"22 4","pages":"Article e00576"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143743461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has fundamentally changed with the publication of five strongly positive randomized controlled trials in this group of patients since 2022 and a sixth trial that showed consistent trends and was positive in per protocol analysis and long-term follow-up. This narrative review summarizes the key findings of these trials, including imaging selection criteria, functional and safety outcomes, and long-term benefits. Across trials, thrombectomy consistently improved functional outcomes at 3-months and 12-months. Absolute functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0–2) rates were lower than the trials that enrolled patients with smaller ischemic core volumes, but still significantly favored thrombectomy. Safety outcomes demonstrated a reduction in mortality with EVT and no significant increase in rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. While guidelines are being updated to include large core thrombectomy, real-world decision-making remains complex, requiring careful consideration of patient-specific factors, including functional status, infarct location, and patient preferences. Future research should focus on exploring adjunctive therapies and accelerated systems of care to further improve outcomes in this patient population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19159,"journal":{"name":"Neurotherapeutics","volume":"22 4","pages":"Article e00622"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144317527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
