Research Abstract

We have conducted our research for the purpose of identifying novel growth factors for glioma cancer stem cells, and identified KIF23 and uPARAP. Downregulation of KIF23 in glioma cells suppressed their proliferation. Downregulation of uPARAP in glioma cells suppressed migration and invasion properties of glioma cells through changes in actin cytoskeleton. We have also confirmed the expressions of the both molecules in glioma cancer stem cells at protein level.
