Sensitivity to temozolomide in brain tumor initiating cells
13 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Molecular alterations in glioblastoma have the potential to guide treatment. Here, we explore the relationship between temozolomide (TMZ) response and O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) status in brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs). Methylation, expression, and sensitivity were assessed in 20 lines; associations were evaluated by Fisher's exact test. Some BTICs were sensitive. Sensitivity to TMZ was...
