GPR17 and neoplasm: The highlights are as follows: GPR17 expression is associated with greater survival for both low-grade glioma (LGG) and GBM; GA-T0, a potent GPR17 receptor agonist, causes significant GBM cell death and apoptosis; GPR17 signaling promotes cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase in GBM cells; key genes are modulated in the signaling pathways that inhibit GBM cell proliferation; and GA-T0 crosses the blood–brain barrier and reduces tumor volume.
