Here, we used cell lines with normal DNA-PK (HEK293 and M059K) or deficient DNA-PK (M059J) as a model system to demonstrate the importance of the DNA-PK-dependent activation of MYT1L in controlling the transcription of CXC chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) in a positive-feedback proliferative signaling loop in glioblastoma with numerous conventional techniques. The gene discussed is CXCR1; the disease is glioblastoma.
