摘 要:Glioblastoma(GBM)is the most common,most aggressive and deadliest brain ***,remarkable progress has been made towards understanding the cellular and molecular biology of *** tumor initiation,progression and relapse as well as resistance to treatments are associated with glioma stem cells(GSCs).GSCs exhibit a high proliferation rate and self-renewal capacity and the ability to differentiate into diverse cell types,generating a range of distinct cell types within the tumor,leading to cellular *** tumors may contain different subsets of GSCs,and some of them may adopt a quiescent state that protects them against chemotherapy and *** enriched in recurrent gliomas acquire more aggressive and therapy-resistant properties,making them more malignant,able to rapidly *** impact of SOX transcription factors(TFs)on brain tumors has been extensively studied in the last *** all SOX genes are expressed in GBM,and their expression levels are associated with patient prognosis and *** SOX TFs are involved in the maintenance of the stemness of GSCs or play a role in the initiation of GSC *** fine-tuning of SOX gene expression levels controls the balance between cell stemness and ***,innovative therapies targeting SOX TFs are emerging as promising tools for combatting *** GBM has been a demanding and challenging goal for *** current therapeutic strategies have not yet provided a cure for GBM and have only resulted in a slight improvement in patient *** approaches will require the fine adjustment of multimodal therapeutic strategies that simultaneously target numerous hallmarks of cancer cells to win the battle against GBM.
