Furthermore, the interaction between miR-532-5p and CSF1 in glioma was studied by performing Western blot assay and Dual-Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay.
Combining a T9/9L glioma vaccine, expressing the membrane form of M-CSF, with a systemic antiangiogenic drug-based therapy theoretically targeted toward growth factor receptors within the tumor's vasculature successfully treated >90% of the rats bearing 7-day-old intracranial T9/9L gliomas.
Many different tumor cell types (breast, ovarian, glioma, liver and colon) were retrovirally transduced with the human macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) gene (either the membrane associated form [mM-CSF] or the secreted form [sM-CSF]).
