medicine | lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase LCK is involved in the fractionated radiation-induced expansion of the glioma-initiating cell population and acquisition of resistance to anticancer treatments. Fractionated radiation causes a selective increase in the activity of LCK. The activities of other Src family kinases Src, Fyn, and Lyn are not significantly increased. Knockdown of LCK expression with siRNA effectively block fractionated radiation-induced expansion of the CD133+ cell population. siRNA targeting of LCK also suppresses fractionated radiation-induced expression of the glioma stem cell marker proteins CD133, Nestin, and Musashi. Expression of the proteins Notch2 and Sox2 in glioma cells treated with fractionated radiation is also downregulated by LCK inhibition. siRNA-mediated knockdown of LCK effectively restores the sensitivity of glioma cells to cisplatin and etoposide | Homo sapiens |
