Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are relatively resistant to chemo-radiotherapy and are responsible for tumor progression and the recurrence of glioblastomas after conventional therapy. Thus, the control of the GSC population is considered key to realizing long-term survival of glioblastoma patients. Here, we identified that resveratrol significantly reduced the self-renewal and tumor-initiating capacity of patient-derived GSCs. Furthermore, resveratrol promoted Nanog suppression via proteasomal degradation, which was inhibited by MG132, a proteasome inhibitor. p53 activation is an important factor in Nanog suppression and treatment with resveratrol was also found to activate the p53/p21 pathway. Importantly, inhibition of Nanog by siRNA provoked inhibitory effects on both the self-renewal and tumor-forming capacity of GSCs. Our findings indicate that Nanog is an essential factor for the retention of stemness and may contribute to the resveratrol-induced differentiation of GSCs. Our results also suggest that targeting GSCs via the p53-Nanog axis, with resveratrol for instance, could be a therapeutic strategy against glioblastoma. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
