Abstract:The expression of microRNA (miRNA) is closely related to radiochemosensitivity in glioma stem cells (GSCs). Moreover, the growth of glioma stem cells could be inhibited comprehensively by increasing radiochemosensitivity and apoptosis, simultaneously with the regulation of a single miRNA, which has been confirmed by some researches. Thereby microRNA is prospective for the adoption as a specific agent in targeted therapy of glioma, so as to increase the radiochemosensitivity in glioma stem cells.
