WIF1 gene has been recently identified as a tumor
suppressor gene in glioblastoma. Human glioma stem cells
have been genetically modified for the expression of the
WIF1 gene, they were injected intracranially in NUDE
mice for
1
H
MRS analysis and compared with a group of mice injected
with the analogue cell line without modifications.
Quantification of
1
H
MRS spectra acquired longitudinally throughout the tumor
development showed distinct metabolic features in the
two groups of mice which correlate with a less
aggressive phenotype for glioma stem cells expressing
WIF1.
