Biological Pathways in Glioma PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway:
Promotes cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Frequently hyperactivated due to PTEN loss or PIK3CA mutations. RAS/MAPK Pathway:
Stimulates cell cycle progression and invasion. JAK/STAT3 Pathway:
Drives inflammation, immune evasion, and stemness in glioma cells. Notch and Wnt Signaling:
Regulate glioma stem cell maintenance and therapy resistance. Metabolic Reprogramming:
Warburg effect: Preferential glycolysis even in oxygen-rich conditions. Increased lipid metabolism and glutamine dependence.
