Bevacizumab treatment induces metabolic adaptation toward anaerobic metabolism in glioblastomas
Fack, Fred; Espedal, Heidi; Keunen, Olivier; Golebiewska, Anna; Obad, Nina; Harter, Patrick N.; Mittelbronn, Michel; Bähr, Oliver; Weyerbrock, Astrid; Stuhr, Linda Elin Birkhaug; Miletic, Hrvoje; Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Stieber, Daniel; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Zheng, Liang; Gottlieb, Eyal; Niclou, Simone P.; Bjerkvig, Rolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01)Anti-angiogenic therapy in glioblastoma (GBM) has unfortunately not led to the anticipated improvement in patient prognosis. We here describe how human GBM adapts to bevacizumab treatment at the metabolic level. By performing ... -
Colorectal cancer derived organotypic spheroids maintain essential tissue characteristics but adapt their metabolism in culture
Rajcevic, Uros; Knol, Jaco C; Piersma, Sander; Bougnaud, Sébastien; Fack, Fred; Sundlisæter, Eirik; Søndenaa, Karl; Myklebust, Reidar; Pham, Thang V.; Niclou, Simone P.; Jiménez, Connie R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-11)Background: Organotypic tumor spheroids, a 3D in vitro model derived from patient tumor material, preserve tissue heterogeneity and retain structural tissue elements, thus replicating the in vivo tumor more closely than ... -
Glioblastomas are composed of genetically divergent clones with distinct tumourigenic potential and variable stem cell-associated phenotypes
Stieber, Daniel; Golebiewska, Anna; Evers, Lisa; Lenkiewicz, Elizabeth; Brons, Nicolas H.C.; Nicot, Nathalie; Oudin, Anaïs; Bougnaud, Sébastien; Hertel, Frank; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Vallar, Laurent; Barrett, Michael T.; Niclou, Simone P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02)Glioblastoma (GBM) is known to be a heterogeneous disease; however, the genetic composition of the cells within a given tumour is only poorly explored. In the advent of personalised medicine the understanding of intra-tumoural ... -
Multimodal imaging of gliomas in the context of evolving cellular and molecular therapies
Keunen, Olivier; Taxt, Torfinn; Grüner, Renate; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Tonn, Joerg-Christian; Pavlin, Tina; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Niclou, Simone P.; Thorsen, Frits Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)The vastmajority ofmalignant gliomas relapse after surgery and standard radio-chemotherapy. Novelmolecular and cellular therapies are thus being developed, targeting specific aspects of tumor growth.While histopathology ... -
U-251 revisited: genetic drift and phenotypic consequences of long-term cultures of glioblastoma cells
Torsvik, Anja; Stieber, Daniel; Enger, Per Øyvind; Golebiewska, Anna; Molven, Anders; Svendsen, Agnete; Westermark, Bengt; Niclou, Simone P.; Olsen, Thale Kristin; Chekenya, PhD, Dr Philos, Dr. Martha; Bjerkvig, Rolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)It is well known that in vitro subculture represents a selection pressure on cell lines, and over time this may result in a genetic drift in the cancer cells. In addition, long-term cultures harbor the risk of cross-contamination ...
