Example sentences for: glioblastoma

How can you use “glioblastoma” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Both the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line and the U118 brain glioblastoma cell line were cultured at 37°C in a 6% CO 2 -humidified incubator in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 U/ml streptomycin.

  • For example, mouse embryonal stem (ES) cells with homozygous deletion of the PTEN gene exhibit increased anchorage-independent growth as compared to normal ES cells [ 12 ] . Similarly, transfer of a wild type PTEN gene into anchorage-independent human glioblastoma cells (which lack functional PTEN), results in their greatly reduced ability to form colonies in soft agar [ 4 5 6 ] . The interpretation of these latter findings, however, is complicated by the strong anti-proliferative effects of PTEN even in monolayer culture, which is consistently observed when the wild type version of this gene is introduced into PTEN-negative tumor cells [ 4 6 7 8 9 10 18 33 ] . Moreover, in human glioma and breast cancer cell lines, the ectopic expression of wild type PTEN leads to anoikis, which is apoptosis initiated by the disruption of cell matrix-interactions [ 23 34 35 36 ] .

  • The U87 glioblastoma tumor cell line has been described [ 57 ] and was obtained from Webster K. Cavenee (UC San Diego, La Jolla, CA).

  • Transient transfection of wild-type p53 and of v-src has been found to exert opposing effects on human VEGF gene promoter activity in human glioblastoma and transformed human fetal kidney cells (Devavrata et al.

  • Two different cell lines were studied: A549, derived from human lung adenocarcinoma, and U118, derived from human brain glioblastoma.
