dCas9/CRISPR-based methylation of O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase enhances chemosensitivity to temozolomide in malignant glioma
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Malignant glioma carries a poor prognosis despite current therapeutic modalities. Standard of care therapy consists of surgical resection, fractionated radiotherapy concurrently administered with temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA-alkylating chemotherapeutic agent, followed by adjuvant TMZ. O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA repair enzyme, removes alkylated lesions from tumor DNA, thereby...
