High filamin-C expression predicts enhanced invasiveness and poor outcome in glioblastoma multiforme

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common brain malignancy in adults, is generally aggressive and incurable, even with multiple treatment modalities and agents. Filamins (FLNs) are a group of actin-binding proteins that regulate the actin cytoskeleton in cells. However, the role of FLNs in malignancies-particularly in GBM-is unclear. METHODS: The relation between FLNC expression and overall...
