摘要: EGCG is a flavonoid that exhibited therapeutic activity in cancer. In this study three glioblastoma cell lines (U87, A172 and U251) were treated with EGCG, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) or the combination of both. Treatment subtoxic doses TRAIL induces rapid apoptosis TRAIL-resistant glioma cells, suggesting combined treatment may offer an attractive strategy for treating gliomas. down-regulated phosphoprotein-enriched astrocytes (PEA15) through Akt (PKB)-dependent mechanism. addition, over-expression PEA15 attenuated cytotoxicity induced by TRAIL. summary, key regulator TRAIL-EGCG-mediated death malignant glioma.
