GIC culture and cell immunofluorescence. Limiting dilution assay. Determination of GICs in NOD/SCID mice. Cell viability, apoptosis and sphere counting assay. Measurement of caspase-3 activity. DNA double-strand break (DSB) assay. Western blot analysis. In vivo xenograft study and immunohistochemical study
Our results propose that temozolomide and resveratrol combination strategy may be effective in the management of glioblastoma patients, particularly for those patients who have been present with a high abundance of glioblastoma-initiating cells in their tumors and show slight responsiveness to temozolomide.
