    New findings and notable events from the Kim lab

  • The problem of glioblastoma

    Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Despite aggressive surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, this disease remains challenging with no cure. We are interested in the molecular mechanisms that control key features of glioblastoma biology. The long-term goal of my laboratory is to leverage these insights for the rational design of novel strategies against this formidable disease.

    GENETICS

    Our laboratory is interested in developing new strategies to accurately profile patient tumors, including multisector and region-specific approaches, utilizing single cell techniques. We are also focused on establishing new experimental model systems using canonical tumor mutations.

    EPIGENETICS

    Therapy resistance is predominantly defined by epigenetic changes in tumor cells. Glioblastoma stem-like cells represent a dynamic and treatment-resistant cell state influenced by cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic cues. Our laboratory is interested in finding ways to disrupt the epigenetic state that defines these tumor-initiating cells. We are pursuing a variety of approaches, including high-throughput screening, pharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, and material engineering, to accomplish this goal.

    METABOLISM

    Cancer cells exhibit a dependency on metabolic pathways regulated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which has a well-known role in oxidation-reduction reactions and is an essential component of signaling pathways as a co-factor for NAD+-dependent enzymes. The rate-limiting enzyme in NAD+ synthesis, NAMPT, is highly expressed in glioblastoma tumors. How the regulation of this enzyme interfaces with NAD+-dependent signal transduction networks remains poorly understood in glioblastoma.

    LASER THERAPY

    Laser therapy, also laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), is a minimally invasive tool used by neurosurgeons to kill tumor cells. We have established a mouse laser therapy system to examine the ability of LITT to locally disrupt the blood-brain barrier and augment drug delivery. We are also interested in how LITT changes the tumor immune microenvironment.
