The increased level of miR‐497 in TMZ‐resistant glioma cells was concurrent with the up‐regulation of insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R)/insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) pathway‐related proteins, that is, IGF1R, IRS1, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and Bcl‐2. The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is glioma.
