    Abstract:
    Mesenchymal subtype of glioblastoma (GBM), identified as one of four clinically relevant molecular subtypes, has worst prognosis because of its close relation with the malignant biological properties induced by glial-mesenchymal transition (GMT). However, the molecular mechanism of GMT and its characterized molecule of GBM have not been studied. Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) is at a convergence point of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling as one of the three core pathways implicated in GBM. Our previous study indicated that the inactivation of FOXO1 involved in the inhibition of GMT is an independent prognosis factor of GBM. In this study, we will further confirm the role of FOXO1 in GMT through cytological experiments to clarify how FOXO1 regulates GMT and its clinical significance. We established virus-infected FOXO1 overexpression and FOXO1 knockdown cells of U373 MG and U251 mediated by lentivirus, based on the effect of which FOXO1-correlated-GMT experiments were performed in vitro and in vivo. Our data suggested that FOXO1 played a crucial role in resistance to TMZ, BCNU, and CDDP; migration and invasion; and stem cell properties of glioma cells. FOXO1 may serve as a targeted biomarker for prediction of sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs, metastasis, and prognosis, which provides a new idea for mesenchymal GBM treatment.
