Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: -methyl guanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) that is often characterised by unmethylated promoter. Here, we investigated pre-treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) cells with the 26S-proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) as a strategy to interfere with MGMT expression and thus sensitise them to TMZ. METHODS: Cell lines and patient GBM-derived cells were examined in vitro, and the latter also implanted...
