Combination of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide synergistically reduces stemness and migration properties of glioblastoma cancer cells
This study aimed to understand the potential role and molecular mechanism of the combination therapy of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide in glioblastoma cancer. U87 cells were treated with B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide, separately and in combination. Cell viability, stemness, cell migration, and apoptosis were measured. The results of this work presented the synergistic effect of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide in inhibiting the cancerous features of the U87 cell line. Down-regulating B7H6-siRNA expression inhibited the cell viability of U87 glioblastoma cancer cells and increased their sensitivity to temozolomide. In addition, a noteworthy decrease in cell migration ability and stemness, an increase in apoptosis were observed in the combined groups compared to B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide individually. According to the results, a combination of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide can be a promising strategy in glioblastoma cancer therapy.PMID:37247720 | DOI:10.1016/j.yexcr.2023.113667
