Embodiment 1

[0221] Example 1: Demonstration of oxidative cellular energy production processes and cancer initiation FL1 + Analysis of Mitochondrial Activity in Cell Populations

[0222] figure 1 Anaerobic and aerobic pathways in cells are shown. Glycolysis is a process that metabolizes glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm. Under hypoxic conditions, pyruvate is converted to lactate by LDH: 1GLC→2ATP.

[0223] Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) combined oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the process of generating ATP from ADP using pyruvate obtained from glycolysis, electron transfer via NADH and FADH2 to respiratory chain complexes in mitochondria, and proton gradient pumps. Under aerobic conditions: 1GLC → 36ATP.

[0224] Study metabolic pathways in cancer-initiating cells by measuring the following parameters:

[0225] Number of active mitochondria (eg M75-13): cells were harvested, dissociated, washed and treated with M75 diluted at a final concentration of 250 nM in DMEM-F12-Glutam...

Embodiment 2

[0237] Example 2: Testing Potential Anti-Cancer Stem Cell Agents (Inhibitors)

[0238] According to the results of mitochondrial activity, metabolite content and inhibitor effect of anaerobic energy production pathway (described in Example 1), the FL1 under the aerobic glycolysis system 0 or FL1 - cells compared to FL1 + Cells likely preferentially use the aerobic pathway to generate their own energy. Therefore, any agent with a potent ability to inhibit mitochondrial activity would impair energy production in the CIC, which would likely kill the CIC. This was tested in Figure 5 and in the in vitro recurrence assay described below:

[0239] For short-term / dose response (48 hours): Dissociated gliomaspheres, attached glioma and normal cells were plated at 10 cells / μl on DMEM-F12 Glutamax, BIT20% or B27 (1 / 50 ), Penicinil / Streptomycin 1 / 1000, 1 ng / ml of reduced mitogen or reduced level of serum (2.5%) was used.

[0240] For long-term treatment / recovery assays (T10 and / or ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the compounds useful in the prevention and / or treatment of tumours. More specifically the present invention relates to inhibitors of the activity of the electron transport chains and / or the mitochondrial TCA cycle in glioma-initiating cells (GICs) for use in a method for preventing and / or treating tumours presenting glioma-initiating cells (GICs) in a subject who has undergone a prior removal of a tumour glioma bulk. The present invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition containing the inhibitors of the invention and a screening method for identifying the inhibitors of the invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to compounds for the prevention and / or treatment of tumors. More specifically, the present invention relates to inhibitors of the activity of the electron transport chain and / or the mitochondrial TCA cycle in glioma-initiating cells (GICs) for use in patients who have undergone prior transplantation of glioma entities. Methods of preventing and / or treating tumors expressing glioma-initiating cells in excluded subjects. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the inhibitor of the present invention, and a screening method for identifying the inhibitor of the present invention. Background technique [0002] Glioma is the most common type of brain tumor in adults. The malignant form of glioma, grade IV, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is notoriously difficult to treat. The tumor recurs in most cases, independent of virtually all current treatments including surgery, radiation...
