    Abstract

    Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common aggressive and fatal forms of adult brain tumors. According to WHO classification, GBM is usually classified as a grade IV form of a brain tumor. Glioblastoma multiforme exhibits high intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity. Free radical generation in GBM plays a robust role in promoting and inducing inflammatory processes mediated by various signaling pathways mainly focusing on Janus-kinases (JAK). Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) stimulates signal transducer activating transcription factor 3 (STAT3) and JNK to induce proinflammatory cytokines, such as, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, and IL-8 to aggravate the inflammatory process. This review summarizes the convergence of inflammation and oxidative stress and examines the potential therapeutic targets aimed at the molecular markers in GBM.
