ROS-Mediated Autophagic Death in Glioblastoma Cells Upon Treatment by Human Recombinant Arginase I (Co)- PEG5000 [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] by Abdel Khalek, Maya

“…In this study, we examine the mechanism of HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000-induced cell death in both partially and completely auxotrophic GBM cell lines. Our results first showed a significant increase in HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000 treated cells for both U251 and A172 in autophagosome formation; suggesting activation of autophagy in response to arginine deprivation. …”
