Targeting Glioblastoma Cell Invasion Using Zebrafish Models for 4D Quantitative Imaging
Glioblastoma is an aggressive primary brain tumor with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. The ability of glioblastoma cells to invade surrounding brain tissue presents the primary challenge for the success of focal therapeutic approaches. My research interests focus on glioblastoma cell invasion and mechanisms that slow or stop cancer cell movement. To study the invasion process, fluorescently dyed human glioblastoma cells are injected into the brain of embryonic zebrafish. The zebrafish are translucent at this stage allowing us to image into the brain and monitor glioblastoma cells in action. By altering the expression of proteins in the brain environment, specific proteins that simulate or inhibit glioblastoma cell invasion can be identified with potential to develop new approaches for cancer therapy.
