PG - 3413-3423 LID - 10.3892/or.2019.7095 [doi] AB - Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first choice chemotherapy agent against glioblastoma, but the TMZ chemotherapy resistance has restricted the clinical application. Although autophagy is considered an adaptive response for cell survival under the pressure of chemotherapy and associated with chemotherapy resistance, its initiator and the precise molecular mechanism remains unknown. In the present study, it was determined that TMZ increases the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 5 (TRPC5) protein expression and the basal autophagy level, and the upregulation of autophagy is mediated by TRPC5 in glioma cells. Additionally, knockdown of TRPC5 upregulated the chemotherapy sensitivity in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, TRPC5‑small interfering RNA and pharmacological inhibition indicated that the Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase beta (CaMKKbeta)/AMP‑activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKalpha)/mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) pathway mediates cell survival autophagy during TMZ treatment. In addition, TMZ‑resistant U87/TMZ cells retained a high basal autophagy level, while silence of TRPC5 expression or inhibition of autophagy reversed TMZ resistance. Thus, the present study revealed that TRPC5, an initiator of autophagy, upregulated TMZ resistance via the CaMKKbeta/AMPKalpha/mTOR pathway and this indicated a novel therapeutic site for drug resistance in glioma chemotherapy.
