| Abstract | The DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) is a major determinant of glioma resistance to alkylating agents. Several strategies have been used to induce sensitization to alkylator-based treatments, including the direct MGMT inhibitor O6-benzylguanine (BG). However, replenishment of MGMT is often observed after the withdrawal of combined schedules of temozolomide (TMZ) and BG, thus preventing further treatment efficacy. In this study we investigated the potential mechanisms of resistance to combination treatment with TMZ and BG in the MGMT-proficient, p53-mutated (mt p53) T98G glioblastoma (GBM) cell line, looking for an effect on nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and mt p53, which are both transcriptional regulators of MGMT. The administration of TMZ alone led to minimal inhibition of T98G cell viability which was, however, enhanced with the addition of BG. This effect coincided with reduced expression of MGMT protein and transcript levels, and a decrease in cellular amount of NFκB and mt p53. However, withdrawal of the drugs led to an increase in cell viability, which was in parallel with repletion of MGMT protein and transcript levels and was also accompanied by elevated protein levels of NFκB and mt p53. Overall, these results suggest that NFκB and mt p53 induction may be responsible for the failure of BG to induce prolonged inhibition of direct repair in TMZ co-treated GBM cells with mt p53 status. |

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.
