Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is largely refractory to surgical operation, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy in use today. Remaining lifetime accounting for the GBM-affected patients varies between 12 and 16 months generally. The most frequently altered genes in GBM are p53, epidermal growth factor receptor, PTEN, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A. Our aim is to investigate the antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of flavopiridol, a cyclin-dependent kinases and specific phosphokinase inhibitor, on glioblastoma cell lines having different genetic profiles: U87MG, U118MG, and T98G.
