Abstract

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), a high-grade glioma (WHO grade IV), is the most aggressive formof brain cancer. Treatment options for GBM involving a combination of surgery, chemotherapy andradiation resulted in a poor survival outcome. Epigenetic mechanisms are increasingly implicated inGBM pathogenesis. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic changes are reversible and can be targetedby drugs. We evaluated whether different Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACis) are able to affectmigration, invasion and vasculogenic mimicry in GBM cells.
