Adenovirus-mediated wild-type PTEN promoting glioma stem/progenitor cellsautophagy activity

<strong<Background</strong< PTEN is an anti-oncogene frequently inactivating in glioma. The previous study found that <em<PTEN</em< was closely related to cellular autophagy activity. The purpose of this paper is to study whether the inactivation of <em<PTEN</em< in glioma stem/progenitor cells (GSPCs) is correlative<br /<with the low autophagic activity in GSPCs. <strong<Methods</strong< Wild-type <em<PTEN</em< genes were transferred into GSPCs mediated by adenovirus. The autophagic activity in GSPCs before or after the introduction of wild-type <em<PTEN</em< was detected by immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, and Western blotting assay. <strong<Results</strong< After transfection of wild-type <em<PTEN</em<, a large number of microtuble-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (MAP1LC3)-positive granules could be found in the cytoplasm of GSPCs under a confocal microscopy, and these granules were demonstrated to be autophagosomes under an electron microscope. Moreover, the expression of autophagy-related gene <em<Beclin-1</em< significantly increased after the transfection of wild-type <em<PTEN</em< gene. <strong<Conclusion</strong< The inactivation of PTEN in GSPCs is one reason of the low autophagic activity of GSPCs. <br /<.
