Induced the glioma cell apoptosis through activation of tristetraprolin (TTP)Increased the TTP expression in U87MG human glioma cellsTTP induced by RSV destabilized the urokinase plasminogen activator and urokinase plasminogen activator receptor mRNAs by binding to the ARE regions containing the 3′ untranslated regions of their mRNAsTTP induced by RSV suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis in the human glioma cells. The gene discussed is PLAUR; the disease is glioma.
