Title:

Reduction or loss of Msh2 confers resistance to temozolomide in glioblastoma

Published date:

Excerpt:
In addition, our results indicate Msh2 deficiency increases the malignancy of gliomas. Our data demonstrate that two weeks of TMZ treatment at a clinically relevant dose of 25 mg/kg provides a significant survival advantage in WT-tumor-bearing mice, while no efficacy was observed in tumor-bearing mice with either heterozygous or homozygous loss of Msh2.
