Fig. 6. HOXA11-AS regulated glioma sensitivity to ROS in vivo and in vitro.
A HOXA11-AS knockdown affecting the sensitivity of glioma cells to H2O2 was verified by CCK-8 assay. B Schematic representation of the use of MLH-carrying nanoparticles (NPs) for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). C HOXA11-AS knockdown affecting the sensitivity of glioma and patient-derived primary GBM cells to ROS produced by NPs was determined via CCK-8 assay in vitro. D The scheme of tumor inoculation and systemic injection. Bioluminescent images (E) and bioluminescent intensity (F) of the glioma-bearing mice 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after treatment with NPs, Lv-shHOXA11-AS or cotreatment with NPs and Lv-shHOXA11-AS. G Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of mice bearing orthotopically transplanted U87 cells. Group 1: treated with PBS and Lv-shNC (control). Group 2: treated with NPs alone (13.33 μmol/kg, i.p. injection). Group 3: treated with Lv-shHOXA11-AS alone (Intracranial implantation of U87 cells infected with HOXA11-AS shRNA lentivirus). Group 4: cotreated with Lv-shHOXA11-AS and NPs (Intracranial implantation of U87 cells transfected with Lv-shHOXA11-AS lentivirus and 13.33μmol/kg NPs, i.p. injection). ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
