In our study, we generated TMZ-resistant glioblastoma GBM8401 cells (GBM8401-TMZ-R) over a 130-day period…We found GBM8401-TMZ-R cells with significantly higher MGMT expression and increased TMZ tolerance...Surprisingly, GBM8401-TMZ-R cells showed higher GST activity and increased GSTM1 and GSTM5 protein levels than GBM8401...From these results, we theorized that certain GST proteins may play a key role in TMZ-resistant glioblastoma cells.
