3-Bromopyruvate inhibits the malignant phenotype of malignantly transformed macrophages and dendritic cells induced by glioma stem cells in the glioma microenvironment via miR-449a/MCT1

Bromopyruvate (3-BrPA) is a glycolysis inhibitor that has been reported to have a strong anti-tumour effect in many human tumours. Several studies have reported that 3-BrPA could inhibit glioma progression; however, its role on the interstitial cells in the glioma microenvironment has not been investigated. In previous studies, we found that in the glioma microenvironment, glioma stem cells can induce the malignant transformation of macrophages...
