摘要: Abstract The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a crucial regulator in malignant gliomas. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) describes functional channels established by highly tumor cells that different from endothelium-lined blood vessels. Our previous studies confirmed the existence and clinical significance VM medulloblastoma glioblastoma. In present study, immunohistochemical CD34/PAS histochemical double-staining, 34 cases (26.8%) with structures were identified among total 127 glioma cases, these associated mTOR expression specimens. In vitro, U87 glioblastoma formed tube similar to HUVECs on Matrigel 3D culture, mTOR-specific inhibitor rapamycin inhibited formation under both normoxia hypoxia. addition, siRNA molecules signaling cascade formation, particularly HIF-1α. Taken together, our results demonstrated involved may be potential therapeutic for
