The decrease in HMGN5 expression in human glioma U251 and U87 cells caused cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and a delay in cell proliferation, as well as resulting in more apoptosis and an inhibition of clonogenic growth in soft agar in U251 cells; these results suggest that HMGN5 is required for tumorigenesis in vitro.
