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 ...
A transcriptomic signature mediated by HOXA9 promotes human glioblastoma initia...
Pojo, M; Gonçalves, CS; Xavier-Magalhães, A; Oliveira, AI; Gonçalves, T; Correia, S; Rodrigues, AJ; Costa, S; Pinto, L; Pinto, AA; Lopes, JM; Reis, RMGlioblastoma is the most malignant brain tumor, exhibiting remarkable resistance to treatment. Here we investigated the oncogenic potential of HOXA9 in gliomagenesis, the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which HOXA9 renders glioblastoma more aggressive, and how HOXA9 affects response to chemotherapy and survival. The prognostic value of HOXA9 in glioblastoma patients was validated in two large datasets from...
