We found that exogenous IL-17A promoted significantly cell migration and invasion abilities in two GBMs cell lines (U87MG and U251) in a time-dependent manner.
Here, we present fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) data regarding the reversion of third generation co-cultured U87+DBTRG and patient-derived GBM tumor model after treatment with novel IL17A inhibitor named FLVM and FLVZ (organic derivatives of caffeic acid).
Using a competitive RT-PCR, we examined the IL-17-induced IkappaB-alpha mRNA expression in glioblastoma cells, and we examined IL-17 up-regulated IkappaB-alpha mRNA expression in a dose- and time-dependent fashion with a maximum time between 1 and 3 h. This induction could be inhibited by Calphostin C (protein kinase C inhibitor) and genistein (tyrosine kinase inhibitor).
