Sustained elevation of Snail promotes glial-mesenchymal transition after irradiation in malignant glioma
18 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ionizing irradiation is an effective treatment for malignant glioma (MG); however, a higher rate of recurrence with more aggressive phenotypes is a vital issue. Although epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in irradiation-induced cancer progression, the role for such phenotypic transition in MG remains unknown. METHODS: To investigate the mechanism of irradiation-dependent tumor...
