Abstract
[Purpose] Gliomblastoma is one of the most common tumor types resistant to radiation. Arsenite was reported to show synergistic radiosensitization effect in vitro and in vivo. But, the mechanism of radiosensitization is not well understood. Last year, we shown the induction of senescence-like growth arrest (SLGA) including heterochomatin formation by treatment of radiation or arsenite. This year, we have studied the difference of mechanism of SLGA between radiation and arsenite. [Results] Glioblastoma U87MG cells treated by irradiation or arsenite. It is kown as p21 or p16 relate to SLGA. U87MG lacks the p16 gene. Thus, we analysed the p21 by Westen blotting. The significant induction of p21 was observed by irradiation, but not by treatment of arsenite. Now, p21 dependency about SLGA by irradiation or treatment of arsenite are analysing by siRNA and the data will be presented.
