The existence of the blood tumor barrier (BTB) severely hinders the delivery of anti-tumor drugs to gliomas, affecting the targeted therapeutic effects of drugs. Therefore, BTB selective opening has become a hot spot for glioma treatment. This study found that the up-regulated METTL3 and IGF2BP3 in GECs increase the stability of CPEB2 mRNA through m6A methylation of CPEB2 mRNA; CPEB2 binds and increases the stability of splicing factor SRSF5 mRNA; SRSF5 promotes the ETS1 exon inclusion; P51-ETS1 promotes the transcriptional expression of tight junction related proteins ZO-1, occludin and claudin-5, regulating BTB permeability. CPEB2, SRSF5 and P51-ETS1 alone or in combination can effectively enhance the role of Dox in promoting glioma cell apoptosis through BTB. The results of this study provide a new theoretical and experimental basis for the molecular regulation of BTB from the perspective of epigenetics, as well as new ideas for the comprehensive treatment of glioma.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
