摘要
In this study we examined by QRT-PCR the mRNA expression of TGF- 1, IGF-1, EGF, FGF-2 and YY1 in human brain tumors. Our findings introduce YY1, for the first time, as a novel gene implicated in brain gliomatogenesis and meningioma establishment. We present a positive correlation between the autocrine expression of YY1 and TGF- 1, IGF-1 and FGF-2, known to be involved in the progression of gliomas and meningiomas. We suggest that mRNA profiling of the above genes in the early stages of disease development could be useful for prognostic purposes, and these genes can be considered as potential targets for therapeutic approaches against brain tumors.
