RTA‐408 Enhances Radiosensitivity and Inhibited Tumor Progression via JNK Pathway in Glioblastoma

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis owing to its high invasiveness and resistance to therapy. RTA‐408, a synthetic triterpenoid and nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 activator, exhibits anti‐inflammatory and anti‐cancer properties; however, its effects on GBM remain unclear. This study investigated the
