Superoxide dismutase 1 mediates adaptation to the tumor microenvironment of glioma cells via mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1

Abstract excerpt

In glioblastoma (GB) cells oxidative stress is induced by both, conditions of the tumor microenvironment as well as by therapeutic interventions. Upregulation of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), a key enzyme for oxidative defense and downstream target of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a candidate mechanism to sustain survival and proliferation of tumor cells. SOD1 was inhibited by shRNA...
