    Autophagy-inducing agents augment the antitumor effect of telerase-selve oncolytic adenovirus OBP-405 on glioblastoma cells

    Oncolytic adenoviruses are a promising tool in cancer therapy. In this study, we characterized the role of autophagy in oncolytic adenovirus-induced therapeutic effects. OBP-405, an oncolytic adenovirus regula...

    A novel inhibitor of the STAT3 pathway induces apoptosis in malignant glioma cells both in vitro and in vivo

    Signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) is constitutively activated in a variety of cancer types, including malignant gliomas. STAT3 is activated by phosphorylation of a tyrosine residue, af...

    Silencing mammalian target of rapamycin signaling by small interfering RNA enhances rapamycin-induced autophagy in malignant glioma cells

    The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) plays a central role in regulating the proliferation of malignant glioma cells, and mTOR-specific inhibitors such as rapamycin analogs are considered as promising thera...
