General description
Glioblastomas are among the most aggressive forms of cancer, associated with low treatment efficacy and poor survival. Recurring glioblastomas are often resistant to first-line chemotherapies (1). There is much interest in studying drug-resistant forms of glioblastomas in the effort to develop effective therapies.

The CT-2A-Luc cell line is derived from a sub-cutaneous, non-metastatic murine glioma (astrocytoma) and is stably transduced with a firefly luciferase-EGFP reporter. CT-2A-Luc cells are marked by high levels of complex gangliosides and low distribution of the anti-angiogenic ganglioside GM3, as well as deficiency in the tumor suppressor PTEN/TSC2, a characteristic present in up to 70% of human high-grade glioma cell lines (2,3). CT-2A tumors are wild-type for p53 and recapitulate several features of human high-grade glioma, including high mitotic index and cell density, nuclear polymorphism, hemorrhage, pseudopalisading necrosis, and microvascular proliferation (4,5).

The parental CT-2A cell line was generated from a malignant astrocytoma formed via implantation of the carcinogen 20-methylcholanthrene in the cerebrum of a C57BL/6J mouse (6). The tumor was maintained through serial intracranial transplants prior to cell line isolation. The CT-2A-Luc luciferase cell line was clonally derived from CT-2A cells transduced with a lentiviral vector harboring a firefly luciferase (Fluc)-IRES-GFP cassette under control of the CMV promoter; cells were subsequently sorted for EGFP expression (7).

Newly diagnosed glioblastoma is now commonly treated with surgery, if feasible, or biopsy, followed by radiation plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. The treatment of recurrent glioblastoma continues to be a moving target as new therapeutic principles enrich the standards of

The content of serum gangliosides was examined in VM and C57BL/6J (B6) mice that contained subcutaneous metastatic (VM) and non-metastatic (CT-2A) brain tumors, respectively. Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) were used to analyze the serum gangliosides.

Evidence has pointed to brain tumor stem cells (BTSC) as culprits behind human high-grade glioma (hHGG) resistance to standard therapy. Pre-clinical rodent models are the mainstay for testing of new therapeutic strategies. The typical model involves the intracranial injection of
