Gap junctions have recently been shown to interconnect glioblastoma cells to a multicellular syncytial network, thereby allowing intercellular communication over long distances as well as enabling glioblastoma cells to form routes for brain microinvasion. Against this backdrop gap junction-targeted therapies might provide for an essential contribution to isolate cancer cells within the brain, thus increasing the tumor cells' vulnerability to the standard chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide. By utilizing INI-0602-a novel gap junction inhibitor optimized for crossing the blood brain barrier-in an oncological setting, the present study was aimed at evaluating the potential of gap junction-targeted therapy on primary human glioblastoma cell populations. Pharmacological inhibition of gap junctions profoundly sensitized primary glioblastoma cells to temozolomide-mediated cell death. On the molecular level, gap junction inhibition was associated with elevated activity of the JNK signaling pathway. With the use of a novel gap junction inhibitor capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier-thus constituting an auspicious drug for clinical applicability-these results may constitute a promising new therapeutic strategy in the field of current translational glioblastoma research.
