The cytocompatibility observed with normal human neuronal cells (HCN-1A) and the enhanced lethal effects in glioblastoma cells highlight the potential of PLGA-MOR-CTX nanoparticles as promising therapeutic nanocarriers towards GBM.
Furthermore, knockdown of MALAT1 inhibited GBM proliferation and progression in vitro and reduced tumor volume and prolonged survival in an orthotopic GBM murine model.
In conclusion, our study indicates that knockdown of MALAT1 reverses chemoresistance to TMZ via promoting miR-101 regulatory network in GBM and thus offers a novel prognostic marker and potential target for GBM TMZ-based chemotherapy.
MALAT1 is a prognostic factor in glioblastoma multiforme and induces chemoresistance to temozolomide through suppressing miR-203 and promoting thymidylate synthase expression.
