Abstract:
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most lethal and treatment-resistant human malignancies, characterized by extreme molecular heterogeneity and a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). MicroRNAs are a set of small endogenous non-coding RNA molecules which play critical roles in various biological processes including carcinogenesis. Recent evidence identifies microRNA-10b (miR-10b) as a regulator of gliomagenesis, with glioblastoma exhibiting a unique state of "oncogene addiction" to this molecule. This review summarizes current research on the mechanistic roles of miR-10b in GBM tumor progression and immune evasion, evaluates innovative antisense oligonucleotide delivery systems, and explores the clinical potential of combining miR-10b inhibition with standard-of-care treatments.
