Demethylzeylasteral inhibits glioma growth by regulating the miR-30e-5p/MYBL2 axis.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most common and malignant form of primary brain tumour, and is characterised by high proliferation and extensive invasion and neurological destruction. Demethylzeylasteral (T-96), which is extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii, is considered to have immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects. Here, the anti-tumour effect of T-96 on glioma was evaluated. Our results demonstrated that T-96 significantly inhibited glioma cell growth and induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase but did not induce apoptosis. Cell invasion and migration were dramatically suppressed after treatment with T-96. Almost all genes related to cell cycle and DNA replication were downregulated after treatment with T-96. Our results showed that miR-30e-5p was noticeably upregulated after T
