Abstract

Background: Glioblastoma is characterized by heightened cell invasion and therapeutic resistance. Results: The Src homology 3 domain-containing GEF (SGEF) promotes fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) proinvasive signaling in glioblastoma via TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). Conclusion: SGEF is an important regulator of glioblastoma cell invasion downstream of Fn14. Significance: Therapy directed at mediators of invasion may confer increased chemotherapeutic and radiologic susceptibility in glioblastoma.
