Topoisomerase I Inhibitors, Shikonin and Topotecan, Inhibit Growth and Induce Apoptosis of Glioma Cells and Glioma Stem Cells
26 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Gliomas, the most malignant form of brain tumors, contain a small subpopulation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) that are implicated in therapeutic resistance and tumor recurrence. Topoisomerase I inhibitors, shikonin and topotecan, play a crucial role in anti-cancer therapies. After isolated and identified the GSCs from glioma cells successfully, U251, U87, GSCs-U251 and GSCs-U87 cells were administrated with various...
