Implication

In vitro experiment examines resistance mechanisms to temozolomide in glioblastoma, suggesting cfDNA as a biomarker.

Key Points

This study aims to explore how cell-free DNA reflects mechanisms of resistance to temozolomide in glioblastoma cells.
Conducted an in vitro experiment using the patient-derived GBM43 cell line over five days.
Cells were treated with either temozolomide or vehicle, with cell counts and cfDNA collected every 24 hours.
Analyzed cfDNA for fragmentation patterns and variant allele frequencies in treated and untreated samples.
TMZ-treated cells showed increased dead cell counts and cfDNA yield compared to untreated cells.
Average variant allele frequency increased over time in TMZ-treated samples, suggesting selection of resistant subclones.
Higher levels of defective mismatch repair mutation signatures were found in treated samples compared to vehicle-treated samples.
