Abstract
AbstractThere exists a consensus that combining hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and chemotherapy promotes chemotherapy sensitivity in GBM cells. However, few studies have explored the mechanism involved. HIF1α and HIF2α are the two main molecules that contribute to GBM malignant progression by inhibiting apoptosis or maintaining stemness under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, Sox2, a marker of stemness, also contributes to GBM malignant progression through stemness maintenance or cell cycle arrest. Briefly, HIF1α, HIF2α and Sox2 are highly expressed under hypoxia and contribute to GBM growth and chemoresistance. However, after exposure to HBO for GBM, whether the expression of the above factors is decreased, resulting in chemosensitization, remains unknown. Therefore, we performed a series of studies and determined that the expression of HIF1α, HIF2α and Sox2 was decreased after HBO and that HBO promoted GBM cell proliferation through cell cycle progression, albeit with a decrease in stemness, thus contributing to chemosensitization via the inhibition of HIF1α/HIF2α-Sox2.
