The growth ability of glioma cells in U87 MG, U251, and C6 cells transfected with 26b-DP was reduced with inhibition rates of 10.11% (Fig. 6A), 34.28% and 29.54% (Fig. 2B), respectively, suggesting that the inhibition rates of 26b-DP transfectants were related to endogenous EphA2 levels in glioma cells. Here, EPHA2 is linked to glioma.
