Abstract excerpt
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), which belongs to transforming growth factor β superfamily, plays important roles in glioma pathogenesis. Gdnf mRNA is aberrantly increased in glioma cells, but the underlying transcription mechanism is unclear. Here, we found that although the base sequence in the promoter region of the gdnf gene was unchanged in glioma cells, there were significant changes in...
