Knockdown of TRIM32 inhibits tumor growth and increases the therapeutic sensitivity to temozolomide in glioma in a p53-dependent and -independent manner.

Tripartite motif protein 32 (TRIM32), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has been reported to participate in many human cancers. However, the underlying role of TRIM32 in glioma remains largely unknown. Here, we aimed to explore the function of TRIM32 in glioma cells and the clinical implications and found that TRIM32 was upregulated in glioma tissues.
