Sevoflurane inhibits the malignant phenotypes of glioma through regulating miR-146b-5p/NFIB axis.

Purpose: Sevoflurane is a common used inhaled anesthetic that was reported to regulate the progression of multiple cancers. Here, we aimed to investigate the function and regulatory mechanism underlying sevoflurane in glioma cells.

Methods: A172 and U251 cells were treated with different concentrations of sevoflurane.
