WNT6 is a novel oncogenic prognostic biomarker in human glioblastoma
Gonçalves, CS; Vieira de Castro, J; Pojo, M; Martins, EP; Queirós, S; Chautard, E; Taipa, R; Pires, MM; Pinto, AA; Pardal, F; Custódia, C; Faria, CCGlioblastoma (GBM) is a universally fatal brain cancer, for which novel therapies targeting specific underlying oncogenic events are urgently needed. While the WNT pathway has been shown to be frequently activated in GBM, constituting a potential therapeutic target, the relevance of WNT6, an activator of this pathway, remains unknown. Methods: WNT6 protein and mRNA levels were evaluated in GBM. WNT6 levels were...
Effects of the functional HOTAIR rs920778 and rs12826786 genetic variants in gl...
Xavier-Magalhães, A; Oliveira, AI; Vieira de Castro, J; Pojo, M; Gonçalves, CS; Lourenço, T; Viana-Pereira, M; Costa, S; Linhares, P; Vaz, R; Nabiço, RAbnormal expression of the long non-coding RNA HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is oncogenic in several human cancers, including gliomas. The HOTAIR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs920778 (C > T) and rs12826786 (C > T) present in the intronic enhancer and promoter regions of HOTAIR, respectively, are associated with expression, cancer susceptibility, and patient prognosis in some tumor ...
