Cover Story: A combination treatment of Simvastatin (Simva) and Temozolomide (TMZ) inhibits autophagy flux and induces unfolded protein response (UPR) in GBM cells (U251, U87). Simva-TMZ treatment activates PERK and IRE1 arms of the UPR, which play a role in the inhibition of autophagy flux. IRE1 RNase inhibition (MKC8866) and PERK kinase inhibition (GSK-2606414) affect autophagy flux in U251 and U87 cells (p62 degradation and LC3β-II/LC3β-I ratio) in different ways. Although MKC8866 did not change Simva-TMZ-induced cell death in either GBM cell lines, GSK-26064614 increased its cytotoxicity in U87 cells. Overall, PERK and IRE1 arms of the UPR are involved in the inhibition of autophagy induced by Simva-TMZ- in GBM cells. View this paper
