Despite the current treatment methods, the survival rate of patients is very low. Therefore, there is a need to develop new therapeutic agents. The migration and invasion capacity of GB cells is related to mesenchymal transition (MT) mechanism. Materials and Methods: The effect of OLE on MT was determined by analysis of the Twist, Snail, Zeb1, N-cadherin and E-cadherin genes in the EMT mechanism. The effect of OLE on cell migration was determined by wound healing test. Results: 2 mg/ml OLE reduced Twist, Snail, Zeb1 and N-cadherin expression and the combination of OLE + TMZ (2 mg/ml OLE + 350 mM TMZ) increased E-cadherin and reduced Twist, Zeb1 and N-cadherin. In addition, co-treatment with OLE increased TMZ-induced anti-invasion properties thought suppressing transcription factors of MT mechanism. Conclusion: OLE can enhance the anti-MT activities of TMZ against GB and provide strong evidence that combined treatment with OLE and TMZ has the potential to be an effective alternative approach in GB therapy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdjuvant temozolomideStem-cellsOlive oilInvasionRadiotherapyAssociationMethylationConcomitantExpressionEfficacyOncologyNutrition & dieteticsBrain neoplasmsCadherinsCell line, tumorEpithelial-mesenchymal transitionGlioblastomaHumansOleaPlant extractsSnail family transcription factorsArticle0005341393000012-s2.0-8508548106371372073432406277OncologyNutrition & dieteticsEpithelial Mesenchymal Transition; Transcription Factor ZEB1; MetastasisAntineoplastic agentNerve cell adhesion moleculeOlea europaea extractPlant extractTranscription factor snailTranscription factor twistTranscription factor ZEB1Unclassified drugUvomorulinCadherinPlant extractAntineoplastic activityAntiproliferative activityArticleCell invasionDrug mechanismEpithelial mesenchymal transitionGlioblastoma cell lineHumanHuman cellMigration inhibitionNonhumanPlant leafProtein expressionWound healing assayBrain tumorEpithelial mesenchymal transitionGeneticsGlioblastomaOlive treeTumor cell line
