Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with an average survival time of approximately 1year despite aggressive surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Here, we report a preclinical study by which the two main energy pathways of the tumor cells, oxidative
We present here a suicide therapy against malignant gliomas based on the transfer to tumor cells of a gene encoding a beta-glucosidase, linamarase (lis), which in the presence of the innocuous substrate linamarin (lin) produces cyanide, blocking the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Dog glioma cells
A new strategy for cancer gene therapy has been developed using a plant gene which encodes the enzyme, linamarase, that hydrolyzes the cyanogenic glucoside substrate, linamarin, into glucose, acetone and cyanide. Retroviral vectors that carry linamarase as a potential killer-suicide gene cause a
