Most importantly, the determination of the corresponding IC50 values, according to the SRB assay for cell viability, showed that NSUN5 hypermethylated glioma cells were significantly more sensitive to the DNQ and IB-DNQ drugs than the NSUN5 unmethylated glioma cell lines (z test, P < 0.0001) (Fig. 6d). The gene discussed is NSUN5; the disease is glioma.
