Dexamethasone Interferes with Autophagy and Affects Cell Survival in Irradiated Malignant Glioma Cells
10 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Radiation is known to induce autophagy in malignant glioma cells whether it is cytocidal or cytoprotective. Dexamethasone is frequently used to reduce tumor-associated brain edema, especially during radiation therapy. The purpose of the study was to determine whether and how dexamethasone affects autophagy in irradiated malignant glioma cells and to identify possible intervening molecular pathways....
