Evaluation of a strategy for tumor-initiating stem cell eradication in primary human glioblastoma cultures as a model by E. V. Dolgova, A. S. Proskurina, E. A. Potter, T. V. Tyrinova, O. S. Taranov, Ya. R. Efremov, K. E. Orishchenko, S. V. Mishinov, V. V. Stupak, A. A. Ostanin, E. R. Chernykh, S. S. Bogachev

“…The effectiveness of a new therapeutic approach aimed at destroying the cancer cell community was evaluated on the primary cell lines of human glioblastoma culture by employing a new strategy of tumor-initiating stem cell synchronization and a domestic strategy of their eradication "3+1". The key elements of the strategy were the following indicator results: (1) evaluation of the presence of tumor-initiating stem cells in a population of cells from analyzed cultures by their ability to internalize double-stranded labeled DNA (TAMRA+ cells); (2) determination of the reference time points of the repair cycle of DNA interstrand cross-links induced by cross-linking cytostatic mitomycin C; (3) evaluation of cell cycle synchronization; (4) determination of the time (day after therapy initiation) when TAMRA+ cells were synchronously present in phase G1/S of the cell cycle, sensitive to the therapy; and (5) establishment of the TAMRA+ (tumor-initiating stem cells) eradication schedule. …”
