Transcriptomic alterations upon HSP90 inhibition in human LN229 and T98 glioblastoma cells in vitro

Purpose: Characterization of transcriptomic alterations upon HPS90 inhibition in human LN229 and T98G glioblastoma cells in vitro. Methods: LN229 and T98G glioblastoma cells were treated with 10 nM of the HSP90 inhibitor NW457 or the vehicle control for 24 h, and total RNA was subjected to 3' RNA sequencing. Results: Distinct transcriptomic alterations were observed, dominated by a transcriptional upregulation of the heat shock response. Conclusion: HSP90 inhibition resulted in distinct transcriptomic alterations and a clear upregulation of the heat shock response. RNAseq analysis of human LN229 and T98G glioblastoma cells. HSP90 inhibitor treatment (10 nM NW457 for 24 h) was compared to the vehicle control.
