ABSTRACT
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and prevalent primary brain malignancy in adults. Current treatments provide limited benefit, and thus, the median overall survival of GBM patients is only 15 months. GBM progression is highly dependent on its ability to evade immune response, so understanding the mechanisms behind GBM-driven immunosuppression seems crucial for designing more efficient therapies. Animal models of GBM constitute a convenient tool in glioma research, and several different approaches have been already developed to model this disease in vivo, including genetic and xenograft models. Here, we describe a murine syngeneic model of glioma which recapitulates many of the key features of human disease, including complex tumor microenvironment. We present an optimized protocol for stereotactic intracranial implantation of GL261 cells into C57BL/6 mice which results in tumor growth in the striatum. This model has been widely used to get insight into glioma biology, as well as in the studies aiming at the development and validation of new therapeutic approaches.
