Identification of miRNA signature associated with BMP2 and chemosensitivity of TMZ in glioblastoma stem-like cells.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most lethal intracranial tumor in adults. Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are responsible for tumorigenesis and chemotherapy resistance. BMPs are known to increase temozolomide (TMZ) response in GSCs, however, the intracellular molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, we built a GSC cell model called U87S, and performed RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed (DE) miRNA profiles in U87S cells treated with BMP2, TMZ or combined BMP2 and TMZ respectively. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that most DE miRNAs were involved in the cancer pathways, suggesting their crucial roles in gliomagenesis. Eight miRNAs from RNA-seq were validated. Four out of these miRNAs (has-miR-199a-3p, hsa-miR-374b-5p, hsa-miR-320d
