Unlocking novel therapeutic avenues in glioblastoma: Harnessing 4-amino cyanine and miRNA synergy for next-gen treatment convergence.

Targeted novel treatment approaches for GBM using 4-amino cyanine and miRNA inhibitors. [Display omitted] • Developing novel therapeutic strategies is a promising approach for GBM. • ncRNAs play important roles in GBM pathogenesis, proliferation, and metastasis. • This review highlights the roles of miRNAs in GBM pathogenesis. • GBM treatment by combining 4-amino cyanine, and miRNAs-related Inhibitors. • Highlights the key challenges in miRNA therapy that need to be overcome. Glioblastoma (GBM) poses a formidable challenge in oncology due to its aggressive nature and dismal prognosis, with average survival rates around 15 months despite conventional treatments. This review proposes a novel therapeutic strategy for GBM by integrating microRNA (miRNA) therapy with 4-amino cyanine molecules possessing near-infrared (NIR) properties. miRNA holds promise in regulating gene expression, particularly in GBM, making it an attractive therapeutic target. 4-amino cyanine molecules, especially those with NIR properties, have shown efficacy in targeted tumor cell degradation. The combined approach addresses gene expression regulation and precise tumor cell degradation, offering a breakthrough in GBM treatment. Additionally, the review explores noncoding RNAs classification and characteristics, highlighting their role in GBM pathogenesis. Advanced technologies such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), locked nucleic acids (LNAs), and peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) show potential in targeting noncoding RNAs therapeutically, paving the way for precision medicine in GBM. This synergistic combination presents an innovative approach with the potential to advance cancer therapy in the challenging landscape of GBM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
