A comprehensive analysis of the angiogenesis-related genes in glioblastoma multiforme vs. brain lower grade glioma

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (1), 2020
Abstract Brain tumors are one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths around the world. Angiogenesis is critical in high-grade malignant gliomas, such as glioblastoma multiforme. Objective: The aim of this study is to comparatively analyze the angiogenesis-related genes, namely VEGFA, VEGFB,...

Semi-quantitative evaluation of brain gliomas in adults: A focus on neuropathological characteristics

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (5), 2019
Introduction: Gliomas are neoplasms with high recurrence and mortality. Due to the difficulty to apply the World Health Organization (2016) classification, developing countries continue to use histological evaluation to diagnose and classify these neoplasms. Objective: To develop a semi-quantitative sca...

Suprasellar chordoid glioma: a report of two cases

SUMMARY Chordoid glioma (CG) is considered a slow growing glial neoplasm. We report two new cases with endocrinological presentation, management and outcome. Case reports: 1) An 18 year-old female patient was admitted due to headaches, nausea and vomiting and visual abnormalities. She was in amenorrhea. ...

Genetic variants related to angiogenesis and apoptosis in patients with glioma

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (6), 2018
ABSTRACT Background Glioma, the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, is highly aggressive and associated with a poor prognosis. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the association of genetic polymorphisms related to angiogenesis and apoptosis with gliomas, as well as comorbidi...

Diagnóstico diferencial entre Glioma y Absceso cerebrales: enseñanzas a partir de un caso

Rev. méd. Maule; 33 (1), 2017
Development of neuroimaging in the last decades has revolutionized the neurological diagnosis, however for they interpretation clinical picture of the patient remains as a relevant aspect. Clinical case: a 30-year-old male patient with recent epileptic seizures, Jaksonian type, secondarily generalized, w...

Extracellular diffusion quantified by magnetic resonance imaging during rat C6 glioma cell progression

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (7), 2017
Solution reflux and edema hamper the convection-enhanced delivery of the standard treatment for glioma. Therefore, a real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method was developed to monitor the dosing process, but a quantitative analysis of local diffusion and clearance parameters has not been assessed...

4-Nerolidylcatechol induces autophagy in human glioblastoma cells

ABSTRACT Gliomas account for the majority of primary malignant brain tumors and present invasive behavior into adjacent healthy tissue. While 4-NC had previously shown to induce apoptotic cell death in a melanoma model, for the glioma model described in this paper 4-NC is cytotoxic for the cells with the...

MiR-320 inhibits the growth of glioma cells through downregulating PBX3

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: MiR-320 is downregulated in multiple cancers, including glioma and acts as tumor suppressor through inhibiting tumor cells proliferation and inducing apoptosis. PBX3 (Pre-B cell leukemia homeobox 3), a putative target gene of miR-320, has been reported to be upregulated in various tumors and ...

Suppression of miR-221 inhibits glioma cells proliferation and invasion via targeting SEMA3B

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Gliomas are the most common primary tumors in the central nervous system. Due to complicated signaling pathways involved in glioma progression, effective targets for treatment and biomarkers for prognosis prediction are still scant. RESULTS: In this study we revealed that a new microRNA (miR)...
