Abstract:Background
Halofantrine is a drug used to treat malaria, and recent studies have shown that it has potential to treat glioblastoma.
Objective
To study the inhibitory effect of Halofantrine on glioblastoma and its mechanism.
Methods
Based on GEO database and clinical samples, the expression difference of ATP6V0D2 gene in glioblastoma was detected. The inhibitory effect of Halofantrine on U251 cells and the expression of ATP6V0D2 gene and autophagy protein at gene and protein levels were detected in vitro. T… Show more
