Several growth factors and their receptors are expressed in inappropriately high abundance in gliomas and are further upregulated during the transition from low- to high-grade malignancy. In glioma cells growth factors induce expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Here we report that neomycin restrained glioma cell proliferation in vitro by inhibition of p42/44 MAPK and the cyclic AMP element binding protein (CREB)-directed transcription pathways. Since alteration of gene transcription by inhibition of specific transcriptional regulatory proteins has important therapeutic potential, neomycin offers great promise for treating cancer and other diseases associated with a sustained MAPK activity [Neurol Res 2003; 25: 13-16].
