Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Targeted therapies that inhibit the MDM2-p53 interaction and the downstream RB-E2F signalling pathway have shown promising antitumor activity, but their efficacy in gliomas has not been investigated. Small-molecule MDM2 antagonists have been developed to specifically inhibit the MDM2-p53 interaction, thereby activating p53 signalling serving anti-tumor activity. Aims: To investigate the therapeutic potential of disrupting the MDM2-p53 interaction in human gliomas cells with various p53 status. We particularly followed whether MDM2-inhibition would sensitize gliomas to additional chemotherapy. Metho…
