A Distinct Reactive Oxygen Species Profile Confers Chemoresistance in Glioma-Propagating Cells and Associates with Patient Survival Outcome
12 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We explore the role of an elevated O2(-):H2O2 ratio as a prosurvival signal in glioma-propagating cells (GPCs). We hypothesize that depleting this ratio sensitizes GPCs to apoptotic triggers. RESULTS: We observed that an elevated O2(-):H2O2 ratio conferred enhanced resistance in GPCs, and depletion of this ratio by pharmacological and genetic methods sensitized cells to apoptotic triggers. We established...
