| Abstract | Increased podocalyxin (PODXL) expression has been associated with a subset of aggressive types of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, the effect of PODXL on astrocytoma cell invasion and survival against chemotherapy agent was investigated for the first time in the present study. Overexpression and knockdown of PODXL were respectively performed in SW1783 (grade III astrocytoma) and U-87 (grade IV astrocytoma; gliobalstoma) cells. PODXL overexpression in SW1783 cells significantly increased cell invasion, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression, cell survival against temozolomide-induced apoptotic stress, and phosphorylation of Akt at serine 473 (ser473), which was abolished by the selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 (LY). Knockdown of PODXL in U-87 cells significantly decreased cell invasion, MMP-9 expression, cell survival against temozolomide, and phosphorylation of Akt at serine 473 (ser473), which was further decreased by LY treatment. In conclusion, in the present study it was demonstrated that PODXL promotes astrocytoma cell invasion, potentially through the upregulation of MMP-9 expression in a PI3K-dependent manner. Additionally, PODXL was shown to promote astrocytoma cell survival against temozolomide-induced apoptotic stress by enhancing the activation of the PI3K/Akt survival signaling pathway. This study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying astrocytoma progression, cell survival and chemoresistance, and suggests that PODXL may be a potential target for overcoming chemoresistance in astrocytomas. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
