Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Over the last two decades many new multimodal therapeutic have been developed but the poor prognosis has remained largely unchanged. Recent research shows that immunosuppression plays a major role in GBM progression. While additional studies are needed to fully understand the immunosuppressive mechanisms that permit gliomas to evade immune surveillance, some key molecules have been identified that may hold therapeutic promise. We have investigated Fibrinogen-like Protein 2. The secreted form of this member of the fibrinogen family has unique immunosuppressive functions. Expression of FGL2 in the adult is primarily in T cells, endothelial and tumor cells. Its unique localization to these tissues gives it a prominent role in the microenvironment. In glioblastoma, it appears to facilitate immunosuppression which results in tumor progression.
