The expression of miR-92b gene in SHG-44 glioma cells and glioma stem cells* / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the expression level of miR-92b in SHanG-44 glioma cells and glioma stem cells .Methods The tumor stem cells were screened from the SHG-44 glioma cells and identified by immunofluorescence .Then it was induced to differentiate .The transcription level of miR-92b was determined by RT-PCR and real-time quantitative PCR before and after differ-entiation .Results The miR-92b expression level in differentiated tumor cells was about 3 times higher than in tumor stem cells . Conclusion T he miR-92b gene is involved in the process of differentiation of glioma stem cells .
