Cyclophilin B supports the survuval of glioblastoma multiforme cells

ABSTRACT: We have found that cyclophilin B (CypB) expression is important for malignant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell proliferation. To identify molecular mechanisms that could explain CypB-dependent survival in human GBM cells, a microarray analysis was performed using RNA prepared from U251MG GBM cells transduced with lentiviral CypB shRNA. These data revealed that about 130 genes were more than 2-fold affected by CypB depletion. Significant alterations in the expression of genes related to cell death, cell proliferation and cell migration were found in the shCypB cells. U251 glioblastoma cells transduced with lentivirus expressing non-target control shRNA (shCON) were compared to cells transduced with lentivirus expressing shRNA sequence against cyclophilin B (shCypB). Cells transduced with
