A 16-Gene Signature Distinguishes Anaplastic Astrocytoma from Glioblastoma
Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA; Grade III) and glioblastoma (GBM; Grade IV) are diffusely infiltrating tumors and are called malignant astrocytomas. The treatment regimen and prognosis are distinctly different between anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma patients. Although histopathology based current grading system is well accepted and largely reproducible, intratumoral histologic variations of...
متن کاملDifferential expression of HIF-1 in glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma
Hypoxia is an important factor mediating tumor progression and therapeutic resistance, in part through proteome changes mediated by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1. Since glioblastoma multiforme is the epitome of a highly aggressive tumor entity, while lower-grade astrocytomas often show a prolonged clinical course, a profound difference in the extent of hypoxic tissue...
متن کاملActivity of glycogen depolymerizing enzymes in extracts from brain tumor tissue (anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme).
An approximately threefold increase in glycogenolytic activity of the neutral alpha-1,4-glucosidase and a twofold increase in the same activity of the acid isoform have been found in extracts of anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme tumors of brain tissue. "Maltase activity" of the respective enzymes increased by 60-80% in both kinds of tumor extracts. However a significant decreas...
متن کاملAkt pathway activation converts anaplastic astrocytoma to glioblastoma multiforme in a human astrocyte model of glioma.
Human malignant gliomas are thought to develop as the result of stepwise accumulations of multiple genetic alterations. Recently, we showed that E6/E7-mediated inactivation of p53/pRb, ras pathway activation (initiated by expression of mutant H-Ras), and expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in combination converted normal human astrocytes into cells that formed intracran...
