EEF2K and glioma: Liu XY et al. found that inhibiting eEF-2 kinase with siRNA or the inhibitor 1-Hexadecyl-2-methyl-3-(phenylmethyl)-1H-imi-dazolium iodide (NH125) could enhance the anti-glioma activity of TMZ, and this sensitizing effect was associated with the blockade of autophagy and the augmentation of apoptosis caused by TMZ [65].
