Radioresistance is associated to increased Hsp70 content in human glioblastoma cell lines
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Radiation therapy is routinely prescribed for high-grade malignant gliomas. However, the efficacy of this therapeutic modality is often limited by the occurrence of radioresistance, reflected as a diminished susceptibility of the irradiated cells to undergo apoptosis. Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) synthesis can be increased by cellular insults, such as radiation-induced damage. Inducible Hsp70 has been suggested to...
