Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Monika Šteigerová Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Iva Boušová, Ph.D., RNDr. Veronika Skarková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Effect of flubendazole on glioblastoma multiforme in vitro and in vivo. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant glioma of the central nervous system. Despite systematic complex treatment, the median survival of this malignity is 14 months. Anthelmintic and potential anticancer drug flubendazole (FLU) is recently studied for its antiproliferative effect in various tumor cells (1). The aim of our project was to investigate the effect of FLU on GBM cell lines U118MG (stabilized cell line) and GBM69 (primary cell line) in vitro, tumor growth in vivo, and its effect on mRNA and protein levels of selected markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug resistance. First-line chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ) was used as a positive control. Both tested cell lines were more sensitive to FLU treatment in comparison with TMZ. Indeed, FLU caused more apparent morphological changes than TMZ in these cells. FLU significantly influenced mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, as well as resistance markers MGMT or MRP-1. In addition, subcutaneous...
