Therefore, this is the first study demonstrating CDC25C and Cyclin B1 proteins could be used as potential target for anticancer therapy and DMC may be explored as new therapeutic agent in the cure of Glioblastoma (GBM).
Survival analysis for three selected partially upregulated genes, CDK1, CCNB1 and CDC20, showed that their high expression was significantly associated with poor survival in GBM.
The cell-division cycle protein 20 (CDC20), Budding uninhibited by benzimidazole 1 homolog beta (BUB1B), and cyclin B1 were downregulated, and clusterin was upregulated in GBM 8401 cells treated with PEITC.
We present data that demonstrate that U87MG glioblastoma cells transduced with a dominant-negative p53 adenovirus construct become sensitized to radiation-induced mitotic catastrophe through abrogation of G(2)/M checkpoint control and overaccumulation of cyclin B1.
Thus, our findings indicate that Mxi1 can act as a tumour suppressor in human glioblastomas through a molecular mechanism involving the transcriptional down-regulation of cyclin B1 gene expression.
