Dr. Vuong Trieu, CEO and Chairman of Oncotelic, stated, ”Our R&D team has discovered crosstalk between the TGF-β and IFN signaling pathways, linking gliomas and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Key Points: 
  • Dr. Vuong Trieu, CEO and Chairman of Oncotelic, stated, ”Our R&D team has discovered crosstalk between the TGF-β and IFN signaling pathways, linking gliomas and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
  • Understanding the role of IRF5 in both SLE and cancer opens an avenue for targeting IRF5 or its downstream pathways.
  • LGG patients expressing high levels of TGFB2 and IFNGR2 are over-represented in IDH wild-type tumor samples, suggesting that TGFB2 and IFNGR2 mRNA can be therapeutically targeted in these high-risk patients.
  • Therefore, to improve OS in LGG patients, combination therapies must target TGFB2 and IFN-γ activation (via IRF5 inhibition) or immune therapies targeted against CD276/B7-H3
