Temozolomide (TMZ) is an effective drug for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), but the mechanism underlying TMZ resistance is poorly understood. New evidence has revealed that the release of heat shock proteins (Hsps) derived from extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in cancer progression by modulating tumor microenvironment and cellular cross-talk. This study aims to evaluate the effects of TMZ on the expression of EV-derived and cellular Hsps and cell motility in U87MG human glioblastoma cell line.
