ABSTRACT: Purpose
The expression of an array of signaling molecules, along with the assessment of real-time cell proliferation, has been performed in U87 glioma cell line and in patients' glioblastoma established cell cultures in order to provide a better understanding of cellular and molecular events involved in glioblastoma pathogenesis. Experimental therapy was performed using a phosphatidylinositol-3'-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor.Patients and methods
xMAP technology was employed to assess expression levels of several signal transduction molecules and real-time xCELLigence platform for cell behavior.Results
PI3K inhibition induced the most significant effects on global signaling pathways in patient-derived cell cultures, especially on members of the mitogen-activated protein-kinase family, P70S6 serine-threonine kinase, and cAMP response element-binding protein expression and further prevented tumor cell proliferation.Conclusion
The PI3K pathway might be a prime target for glioblastoma treatment.
