Core Viewpoint - Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, with a median survival of only 12-18 months post-diagnosis, and current treatments have limited efficacy in extending life expectancy [3] Group 1: Research Findings - A recent study published in Nature Cell Biology indicates that inhibiting lactate transport derived from tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) can restore cGAS-STING signaling and enhance antitumor immunity in glioblastoma [4] - The research team discovered that lactate is transported from TAM to glioblastoma stem cells (GSC) via MCT4-MCT1, promoting GSC proliferation and inducing lactylation modification of the non-homologous end joining protein KU70 at lysine 317 (K317), which inhibits cGAS-STING signaling and remodels the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment [7] - Overall, the study reveals that lactate and lactylation modifications produced by TAM are key regulatory factors in maintaining the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in GSC, opening new avenues for combination therapies in glioblastoma [9]
