Repression of RNA message for F-box proteins in the tumors of patients with glioblastoma.
Keyword(s):
Glioblastoma is the most common brain cancer in adults and has a 15 month median survival rate (1, 2). We performed differential gene expression analysis, comparing the glioblastoma transcriptome from 17 patients to the transcriptome of 8 non-affected, “normal” brain samples using a published dataset (3). Three separate genes encoding F-box proteins (4), including FBXW7, FBXO41, and FBXL16 were differentially expressed and at significantly lower levels in the tumors of patients with glioblastoma than in the brain. Significant differential expression of FBXW7, FBXO41 and FBXL16 was also observed in glioblastomas from the REMBRANDT study (5).
