Schematic image representing the function of MKP1 on glioma stem cell (GSC) activity and glioblastoma progression. Glioblastoma is a heterogeneous tumor with a population of GSCs (in blue, chemo-, and radiotherapy-resistant) with low levels of MKP1. Genetic MKP1 overexpression or its upregulation with HDACIs increases differentiation, impairs tumor growth, and sensitizes cell to TMZ indicating that elevation of MKP1 might be and interesting approach to extend patient survival and avoid tumor recurrence
