In tumor-bearing nude mice, using doxycycline-dependent GliPR1 knockdown, subcutaneous and cranial transplantation of the U87-MG clone 980-5 (transduced with GliPR1 sh#301) resulted in reduced subcutaneous tumor volume and cerebral tumor area in doxycycline-treated mice versus those left untreated. The gene discussed is GLIPR1; the disease is neoplasm.
