ABSTRACT: MYT1L gene has been associated with various brain diseases as it affects many neuronal and biological
processes of nerve cells. However, the role of MYT1L in glioma cell migration and invasion and its mechanism of
action are still unclear. In this study, MYT1L was successfully silenced in U87 and A172 cells, and overexpressed in
U251 cells using lentiviral vectors. The expression levels of MYT1L in glioma cells were assessed by real-time PCR and
Western blot analysis. The effect of MYT1L on migration and invasion was examined by a Transwell assay. We found
that MYT1L enhanced cell migration and invasion whereas knockdown of MYT1L suppressed migration and invasion
in glioma cells. We also demonstrated that MYT1L activated the Notch signaling pathway, and that treatment with the
Notch inhibitor DAPT inhibited the migration and invasion of glioma cells. These results suggest that MYT1L may be
considered a useful and potential target in the treatment of glioma.
