OBJECTIVE: Temozolomide (TMZ) improves Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) patient survival. The invasive behavior of the glioma cells is the cause of GBM relapse. The glioma BK ion channel (gBK) may provide glioma cells with a mechanism to invade surrounding tissue. gBK contains epitopes that cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can recognize and kill glioma cells. Fascin-1 is an actin crosslinking molecule that supports microvilli; these membrane protrusions provide a physical defense against CTLs. TMZ was investigated to determine its effect on gBK and fascin-1 expression. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Human glioma cells cultured in TMZ were analyzed for their altered mRNA and gBK protein levels by using quantitative r... More
