Glioblastoma (GBM) cancer stem cells (CSC) are primar- stress (particularly reduced nutrient supply), and main- ily responsible for metastatic dissemination, resistance to tained "stemness."

Development and maintenance of CSCs to metabolic alterations, loss of stemness, and suppression require orchestrated metabolic rewiring and metabolic of tumor formation by GSC in vivo. Thus, targeting the adaptation to a changing microenvironment.

TRAP1 and SIRT3 Interplay in Glioma Stem Cells

Figure 1. Expression of TRAP1 and Sox2 in patients with glioma. A, Tumor grade and TRAP1 expression. Representative images showing IHC staining for TRAP1, according to World Health Organization glioma grading (35). The scores (negative, 1þ,2þ,and3þ) were calculated by quantifying both the extent and intensity of staining. Scores of 2þ and 3þ are considered to indicate high TRAP1 expression, while negative scores and a score of 1þ are considered to indicate low TRAP1 expression. Scale bar, 20 mm. B and C, Expression of TRAP1 and Sox2 in patients with glioma. The percentage of patients showing high expression (2þ or higher) of TRAP1 or Sox2 is shown.

Tumor specimens from human patients with GBM were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Scale bar, 20 mm. E, Coexpression of TRAP1 and Sox2.
