2、bout 90,000 new patients per year inChina .With the in-depth understanding of the mechanism of glioma molecular biologypathogenesis, people gradually realized the occurrence and development of glioma is amulti-gene invol

　　 FoxM1 is a proliferation-specific transcription factor. After FoxM1 protein activated, itcan regulate many key factors with the G1 / S phase,

6、G2 / M phase transition and mitotic cellcycle regulation. The research found that FoxM1 was continuously and highly expressed inmany cancers including glioma. Over-expression FoxM1 will disorder downstream targetgenes, s

　　 In this paper, we used RNA interference to block the FoxM1 signaling pathway, andstudied the effect and mechani
