Resistance mechanisms, including Akt pathway activation and autophagy, limit treatment efficacy. This study evaluated strategies to enhance the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor cediranib, which targets VEGF and PDGF receptors. Two novel combinations were tested: cediranib with quinacrine, an autophagy inhibitor, and cediranib with proteasome inhibitor SC68896. Both combinations improved anti-glioma activity in vitro and in vivo, reducing tumor growth and vascularization, increasing necrosis, and prolonging survival. Findings suggest targeting dimerization and survival pathways alongside angiogenesis may offer promising therapeutic approaches for GBM. 000000973 540__ $$fCC BY 000000973 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000973 650__ $$aQuinazolines$$025041 000000973 650__ $$aAutophagy$$015252 000000973 650__ $$aMagnetic Resonance Imaging$$021747 000000973 650__ $$aProteasome Endopeptidase Complex$$035896 000000973 650__ $$aGlioma$$019548 000000973 650__ $$aTyrosine Protein Kinase Inhibitors$$013842 000000973 650__ $$aTreatment Outcome$$029508 000000973 650__ $$aGlioblastoma$$019547 000000973 650__ $$aProtein-Tyrosine Kinases$$024762 000000973 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000973 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000000973 7001_ $$aLobo, Merryl$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000973 7201_ $$aPike, Martin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000973 8564_ $$96010ac36-6217-4567-889a-d22f9f81ab09$$s38711679$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/973/files/976_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$24e147dc0d1c280d73577cdca552ed5bf$$31 000000973 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zc/77/sq/17/zc77sq17w 000000973 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:973$$pstudent-work 000000973 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000973 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
