Disialoganglioside GD2 Expression in Solid Tumors and Role as a Target for Cancer Therapy
Gangliosides are carbohydrate-containing sphingolipids that are widely expressed in normal tissues, making most subtypes unsuitable as targets for cancer therapy. However, the disialoganglioside GD2 subtype has limited expression in normal tissues but is

Predicting GD2 expression across cancer types by the integration of pathway topology and transcriptome data [PDF]
BackgroundThe disialoganglioside GD2 is a key cancer therapy target due to its overexpression in several cancers and limited presence in normal tissues. However, experimental assessment is technically challenging and not routinely available. We developed

Harnessing a bispecific αGD2 × αCD3 protein engager to target GD2-overexpressing lung tumors [PDF]
Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, with persistently poor 5-year survival rates across all stages. The development of novel therapies is therefore crucial for overcoming treatment resistance, improving ...

Ganglioside GD2 is a potential candidate marker for lung cancer stem cells [PDF]
Objective To explore the feasibility of ganglioside GD2 as a marker for lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs). Methods Cancer stem cells (CSCs) of lung cancer cell lines were enriched by spheroid culturing in vitro; The expression of stemness-related genes ...

Anti-tumor efficacy of anti-GD2 CAR NK-92 cells in diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas
BackgroundDiffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are rare and fatal pediatric brainstem gliomas with no cure. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered natural killer (NK) cells have been proven effective in treating glioblastoma (GBM) in preclinical

Because current mainstream anti-glycolipid GD2 therapeutics for neuroblastoma (NB) have limitations, such as severe adverse effects, improved therapeutics are needed. In this study, we developed a GD2 aptamer (DB99) and constructed a GD2-aptamer-mediated

A herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein D-expressing nonreplicating dominant-negative HSV-2 virus vaccine is superior to a gD2 subunit vaccine against HSV-2 genital infection in guinea pigs. [PDF]
We recently constructed a novel non-replicating dominant-negative HSV-2 recombinant viral vaccine (CJ2-gD2) capable of expressing various HSV-2 antigens that are dominant targets of HSV-2-specific CD8 T-cell response.

Surface expression of the immunotherapeutic target GD2 in osteosarcoma depends on cell confluency
Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy of pediatric sarcomas is challenged by the paucity of targetable cell surface antigens. A candidate target in osteosarcoma (OS) is the ganglioside GD2, but heterogeneous expression of GD2 limits ...
