| Abstract | Tumor cell proliferation, infiltration, migration, and neovascularization are knowncauses of treatment resistance in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The purpose of this studywas to determine the effect of radiation on the growth characteristics of primary humanGBM developed in a nude rat. Primary GBM cells grown from explanted GBM tissues wereimplanted orthotopically in nude rats. Tumor growth was confirmed by magnetic resonanceimaging on day 77 (baseline) after implantation. The rats underwent irradiation to a doseof 50 Gy delivered subcuratively on day 84 postimplantation (n = 8), orunderwent no radiation (n = 8). Brain tissues were obtained on day 112(nonirradiated) or day 133 (irradiated). Immunohistochemistry was performed to determinetumor cell proliferation (Ki-67) and to assess the expression of infiltration marker(matrix metalloproteinase-2, MMP-2) and cell migration marker (CD44). Tumorneovascularization was assessed by microvessel density using von-Willebrand factor (vWF)staining. Magnetic resonance imaging showed well-developed, infiltrative tumors in 11weeks postimplantation. The proportion of Ki-67-positive cells in tumors undergoingradiation was (71 ± 15)% compared with (25 ± 12)% in the nonirradiated group(P = 0.02). The number of MMP-2-positive areas and proportion ofCD44-positive cells were also high in tumors receiving radiation, indicating greatinvasion and infiltration. Microvessel density analysis did not show a significantdifference between nonirradiated and irradiated tumors. Taken together, we found thatsubcurative radiation significantly increased proliferation, invasion, and migration ofprimary GBM. Our study provides insights into possible mechanisms of treatment resistancefollowing radiation therapy for GBM. |

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.
