Abstract
The metabolic reprogramming that promotes tumorigenesis in glioblastoma is induced by dynamic alterations in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, as well as in transcriptional and signaling networks, which result in changes in global genetic expression. The signaling pathways PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK stimulate cell metabolism, either directly or indirectly, by modulating the transcriptional factors p53, HIF1, and c-Myc. The overexpression of HIF1 and c-Myc, master regulators of cellular metabolism, is a key contributor to the synthesis of bioenergetic molecules that mediate glioma cell transformation, proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion by modifying the transcription levels of key gene groups involved in metabolism. Meanwhile, the tumor-suppressing protein p53, which negatively regulates HIF1 and c-Myc, is often lost in glioblastoma. Alterations in this triad of transcriptional factors induce a metabolic shift in glioma cells that allows them to adapt and survive changes such as mutations, hypoxia, acidosis, the presence of reactive oxygen species, and nutrient deprivation, by modulating the activity and expression of signaling molecules, enzymes, metabolites, transporters, and regulators involved in glycolysis and glutamine metabolism, the pentose phosphate cycle, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as the synthesis and degradation of fatty acids and nucleic acids. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the role of HIF1, c-Myc, and p53 in the genic regulatory network for metabolism in glioma cells, as well as potential therapeutic inhibitors of these factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anesthetic drugs had been reported may impact the bio-behavior of the tumor. Propofol and sevoflurane are common anesthetics in the operation for glioblastoma (GBM). This study aims to establish a co-expression prognostic-related genes signature base on propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia to predict prognosis and immunotherapy response in GBM. METHOD GPM tissues with different anesthetics gene expression profiles (GSE179004) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Core modules and central genes associated with propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and establish a risk score prognostic model. Immune cell signature analysis in TCGA datasets was predicted via CIBERSORT. At last, serum methylation level of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter was detected in GPM patient in different time during perioperative period. RESULTS The burlywood1 group screened was significantly associated with sevoflurane-treated GBM tissue. 22 independent prognostic differential genes were construct a prognostic-related genes risk score in GBM, and showed good predictive ability. The risk score was strongly correlated with the age of the patients, but not with the sex of the patients. In addition, the differential responses to immunotherapy in high and low risk groups were analyzed, indicating that sevoflurane signature genes were consistent in the classification of gliomas. High-risk patients have high T-cell damage score and are less sensitive to immunotherapy. At last, serum methylation level of MGMT promoter was decreased in GBM patients during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia associated impact on the gene expression of GBM, included the methylation level of MGMT promoter. Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score prognostic model, which has good prognostic power and is an independent prognostic factor in GBM patients. Therefore, this model can be used as a new biomarker for judging the prognosis of GBM patients.KEY MESSAGESPropofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score prognostic model has good prognostic power and is an independent prognostic factor in GBM patients.High Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score GBM patients have high T-cell damage scores and are less sensitive to immunotherapy.Serum methylation level of MGMT promoter decrease during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia in GBM patients.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. GBM contains a small subpopulation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) that are implicated in treatment resistance, tumor infiltration, and recurrence, and are thereby considered important therapeutic targets. Recent clinical studies have suggested that the choice of general anesthetic (GA), particularly propofol, during tumor resection, affects subsequent tumor response to treatments and patient prognosis. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying propofol's anti-tumor effects on GSCs and their interaction with microglia cells. Propofol exerted a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the self-renewal, expression of mesenchymal markers, and migration of GSCs and sensitized them to both temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation. At higher concentrations, propofol induced a large degree of cell death, as demonstrated using microfluid chip technology. Propofol increased the expression of the lncRNA BDNF-AS, which acts as a tumor suppressor in GBM, and silencing of this lncRNA partially abrogated propofol's effects. Propofol also inhibited the pro-tumorigenic GSC-microglia crosstalk via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and delivery of BDNF-AS. In conclusion, propofol exerted anti-tumor effects on GSCs, sensitized these cells to radiation and TMZ, and inhibited their pro-tumorigenic interactions with microglia via transfer of BDNF-AS by EVs.

Zhao W, Yun K. Propofol enhances the sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to temozolomide by inhibiting macrophage activation in tumor microenvironment to down-regulate HIF-1α expression. Exp Cell Res 2022; 418:113277. [PMID: 35810776 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2022.113277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line drug for the clinical treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), but drug resistance limits its treatment benefits. This study was intended to investigate whether propofol could restrict the resistance of GBM cells to TMZ and uncover the underlying mechanisms. Human GBM cell line U251 and TMZ-resistant U251/TMZ cell line were transplanted into mice to construct GBM and TMZ-resistant GBM xenograft tumors. Tumor growth in mice was monitored, and the tumor tissues were collected for biochemical analysis. THP-1 cell differentiated into M0 subtype macrophage using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The culture medium of M0 macrophage was collected for treating U251 cells with the presence or absence of propofol or propofol + DMOG (HIF-1α activator). Results showed that propofol significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of TMZ on tumor growth, macrophage infiltration and inflammation in TMZ-resistant GBM xenograft tumors in vivo. Compared with GBM xenograft tumors, higher expression of HIF-1α, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), p-p65 and cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2) was observed in TMZ-resistant GBM xenograft tumors, but propofol co-treatment markedly reduced the expression of these proteins. In in vitro experiments, culture medium from M0 macrophage promoted U251 cell survival, inflammation and expression of HIF-1α, MGMT, p65 and Cox2, whereas inhibited cell apoptosis. However, propofol suppressed the PMA-induced THP-1 M0 macrophage activation, and propofol-treated culture medium from M0 macrophage blocked all the effects of M0 medium on U251 cells. Additionally, DMOG reversed the effect of propofol-treated M0 medium on U251 cells. In conclusion, Propofol restricted TMZ resistance via inhibiting macrophage activation and down-regulating HIF-1α expression in GBM.
