Tbx2 alleviated TMZ-induced apoptosis in GBM cell lines.

Notes: (A) Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry analysis showed that Tbx2 downregulated apoptosis rate induced by TMZ treatment in A172 cells. Tbx2 siRNA upregulated apoptosis induced by TMZ in U251 cells. (B) Tbx2 overexpression upregulated Bcl-2 and caspase 3 and downregulated cleaved caspase 3 and cytochrome C in A172 cell line. Tbx2 depletion downregulated Bcl-2 and caspase 3 and upregulated cleaved caspase 3 and cytochrome C in U251 cell line. *P<0.05.

Abbreviations: GBM, glioblastoma multiform; PI, propidium iodide; TMZ, temozolomide.
