An anti-depressant drug vortioxetine suppresses malignant glioblastoma cell growth
View through CrossRef
AbstractGlioblastoma (GBM) stands as the predominant primary malignant brain tumor in adults, characterized by an exceedingly grim prognosis. Urgent efforts are essential to pioneer effective therapeutics capable of addressing both the intrinsic and acquired resistance exhibited by GBM towards existing treatments. This study employs a drug repurposing strategy to explore the anti-cancer potential of vortioxetine in malignant U251 and T98G glioblastoma cells. Findings from WST-8 cell counting assay and clonogenic assays indicated that vortioxetine effectively suppressed the short-term viability and long-term survival of glioblastoma cells. We also showed that vortioxetine inhibited migration of glioblastoma cells as compared to the control. Our findings encourage further exploration and validation of the use of vortioxetine in the treatment of glioblastoma.
