In order to investigate the inhibition effect of X-rays combined with thalidomide on glioma U251 cells, the cell scratch assay was used to detect the inhibition of thalidomide on U251 cells. And H,3,-TdR incorporation assay and colony formation were used to investigate the enhancement effect of thalidomide on the sensitivity of U251 cells to X-rays. It has been found that thalidomide has synergistic effect on therapy of glioma U251 cells if it is combined with X-rays irradiation as it can inhibit cells infiltration, DNA synthesis and colony formation. When the survival rate of glioma U251 cells is 50%, the radio-sensitization factors of 60 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL thalidomide is 1.18 and 1.51 respectively. The results reveal that thalidomide could significantly improve radio-sensitivity of glioma U251 cells.
