Abstract

TMZ/siPD-L1@GLPN/dsb significantly inhibited the growth of orthotopic TMZ-resistant glioblastoma and extended survival time in rats.

  • A nanoparticle formulation was created to deliver both temozolomide and siPD-L1 to resistant glioblastoma tissue.
  • This formulation increased the percentage of T cells producing interferon-gamma, enhancing T-cell activity against the tumor.
  • It also decreased the presence of regulatory T cells, which are associated with immune suppression.
  • The treatment reduced the expression of a protein linked to DNA repair, potentially increasing sensitivity to temozolomide.
  • Overall, the nanoparticle approach may help overcome resistance and improve outcomes in glioblastoma therapy.
