The metabolism of these lipids plays important roles in the development and progression of many diseases such as cancer. The role of sphingolipid metabolism in cancer overall is not yet fully understood. However, key sphingolipids such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide have been shown to be influential on the death or survival of cancer cells. S1P is known to exert pro-survival signaling effects when expressed at higher levels in cells. Ceramide, on the other hand, has been established as a pro-death lipid, regulating apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and mitophagy. Cancer cells are typically characterized by an increased ratio in S1P to ceramide, thus granting the survival of the cancer. This ceramide/S1P biostat is the target of many new therapeutics which aim to increase ceramide levels in cancer cells. Additionally, many previously established drugs have been rediscovered for their unexpected ability to perturb sphingolipid metabolism.

This study addresses shortcomings of conventional therapies, particularly radiotherapy (RT), which faces limitations due to radio-resistance and toxic radiation doses. Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising alternative, delivering targeted radiation to tumor cells with minimal damage to healthy tissue. However, the key challenge lies in achieving sufficient boron uptake selectively in tumor cells. We have developed a novel nanomedicine-based approach, utilizing polymalic acid (PMLA) as a delivery vehicle, carrying multiple boron-10 molecules per nanoconjugate to increase the intracellular concentration of boron-10 for effective boron neutron capture therapy. Our novel nanodrug (Nano-Boron) incorporates isotopically enriched 4-boronophenylalanine (BPA) as a source of boron-10 and Angiopep-2 (AP2) peptide for blood-brain barrier penetration and tumor targeting. The PMLA platform allows for the attachment of a large quantity of boron-10, enhancing the intracellular boron concentration and, consequently, the efficacy of BNCT. This innovative approach holds the potential to address the unmet clinical need in GBM treatment and improve patient survival and quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":73876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of oncology research and therapy","volume":"9 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11970361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
