The combination of baicalin with knockdown of miR148a gene suppresses cell viability and proliferation and induces the apoptosis and autophagy of human glioblastoma multiforme T98G and U87MG cells

CONCLUSION: The siRNA-induced miR148a mRNA knockdown in combination with baicalin may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to more effective control the growth of human GBM cells. Thus, knockdown of this gene in combination with baicalin inhibits proliferation (cell cycle arrest in S phase in T98G but not in U87MG cells), induces apoptosis and regulates autophagy in T98G and U87MG cells, but further studies urgently needed to confirm a positive phenomenon for the treatment of GBM.PMID:35761505 | DOI:10.2174/1389201023666220627144100
