Glioblastoma (GBM) cells are metabolically dependent on exogenous cholesterol uptake and targeting cholesterol metabolism has been proposed as a therapeutic option for GBM. Here the authors show that cholesterol promotes phagocytic dysfunction in tumor associated macrophages and they develop an Apo-A1 armed oncolytic adenovirus restoring anti-tumor immunity in GBM preclinical models.
