Abstract

The endocannabinoid system regulates physiological and pathological conditions, including inflammation and cancer. Recently, emotional and physical stressors were observed to be involved in impairing the endocannabinoid system, which was concomitant with an increase in serum corticosteroids. However, the influence of corticosteroids on the endocannabinoid system has yet to be completely elucidated. The present study investigated the effects of corticosterone, one of the corticosteroids, on the endocannabinoid system in malignant glioblastoma cells in vitro. U‑87 MG cells derived from malignant glioblastoma were subjected to corticosterone stimulation and their viability, signal transduction, and endocannabinoid‑related gene expression were examined. Corticosterone decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of cyclooxygenase‑2. Of note, although endocannabinoids decreased cell viability, corticosterone inhibited the cannabinoid receptor agonist‑induced decrease in cell viability by downregulating the mRNA and protein expressions of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) in glioblastoma cells. These results suggest that corticosteroids modify the endocannabinoid system in glioblastoma cells, and a reduction in the beneficial anti‑tumor effects of endocannabinoids through downregulation of the CB1 receptor by corticosterone may promote the malignant phenotype of glioblastoma.
