Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a key downstream mediator of MET signaling in glioblastoma stem cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal and common type of primary brain tumor. Recent evidence suggests that a subpopulation of GBM cells (glioblastoma stem cells [GSCs]) is critical for tumor progression, invasion, and therapeutic resistance. We and others have demonstrated that MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase, positively regulates the stemness phenotype and radioresistance of GSCs. Here, we...
