Carnitine-induced senescence in glioblastoma cells

Abstract: Abstract. Carnitine is essential for lipid metabolism in cells and is known to possess antioxidant properties. Previous reports have suggested that antioxidants are able to induce senescence in glioblastoma cells, consequently, in the present study, we investigated the effect of carnitine on glioblastoma cells. Under conditions of hyponutrition (undernutrition), the proliferation of glioblastoma cells was attenuated and the level of intracellular carnitine was increased. Glioblastoma cell proliferation was als… Show more

“…Treatment with temozolomide causes senescence in cancer cells [37], which might explain our observation of increased levels of carnitine during treatment. Carnitines have previously been reported to lead to senescence [38] wherein the downregulation of Lpropionylcarnitine was seen after finishing treatment with chemotherapy. 1,5-pentanediamine is a diamine that has previously been reported to inhibit ornithine decarboxylase, which results in the inhibition of neuroblastoma cells and glioma cells to a lesser extent [39].…”
