Cannabidiol (CBD), a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid capable of entering the central nervous system, has shown antitumor activity in glioma models, but the mechanisms underlying its anti\u2010invasive effects remain unclear. Lysyl oxidase\u2013like 2 (LOXL2) regulates extracellular\u2010matrix remodeling and mesenchymal phenotypes in several cancers. We therefore tested the hypothesis that CBD limits glioma growth and invasion partly by suppressing an LOXL2\u2010associated extracellular\u2010matrix and EMT\u2010like program.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Human U87 and murine GL261 glioma cells were used to examine CBD effects on tetrazolium\u2010based cell viability, clonogenic growth, cell\u2010cycle progression, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. The two cell lines provided complementary human and murine models, and the immunocompetent intracranial GL261 model enabled syngeneic in vivo validation. RNA sequencing and public glioma datasets were used to identify and contextualize CBD\u2010responsive molecules. Mechanistic involvement was tested by determining whether LOXL2 knockdown phenocopied and LOXL2 overexpression attenuated the anti\u2010invasive effects of CBD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      CBD reduced glioma\u2010cell viability and clonogenicity, induced G1\u2010phase arrest and apoptosis, and suppressed migration and invasion.

CBD treatment was accompanied by reduced MMP2 and MMP9 expression and increased TIMP3 expression. Transcriptomic profiling identified LOXL2 as a prominent CBD\u2010downregulated molecule, and public datasets associated higher LOXL2 expression with aggressive molecular features and shorter overall survival. LOXL2 silencing reproduced the antimigratory and anti\u2010invasive phenotype, whereas LOXL2 overexpression enhanced cell motility and partially attenuated the effects of CBD. The partial rescue involved vimentin, MMP9\/TIMP3, EMT\u2010related transcription factors, and F\u2010actin\u2010rich protrusions. In vivo, CBD reduced intracranial tumor burden and produced tissue changes consistent with lower proliferation, enhanced apoptosis, and suppression of the LOXL2\u2010associated mesenchymal program.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CBD suppresses glioma growth and limits invasion, at least in part, by attenuating an LOXL2\u2010associated EMT\u2010like and extracellular\u2010matrix\u2010remodeling program. Because LOXL2 overexpression produced only a partial rescue and direct target engagement was not tested, LOXL2 should be interpreted as a functional mediator rather than the sole or direct molecular target of CBD. These findings support further validation in patient\u2010derived and pharmacokinetically informed glioma models.<\/jats:p>\n
