Abstract:
Background:Malignant glioma is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and is known to exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in its deregulation of different oncogenic pathways. The molecular subclasses of human glioma are not well known. Thus, it is crucial to identify vital oncogenic pathways in glioma with significant relationships to patient survival. Methods:In this study, we devised a bioinformatics strategy to map patterns of oncogenic pathway activation in glioma, from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Bioinformatics analysis revealed that 749 genes were differentially expressed and classified into different glioma grades. Results:Using gene expression signatures, we identified three oncogenic pathways (MAPK signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, and ErbB signaling pathway) deregulated in the majority of human glioma. Following gene microarray analysis, the gene expression profile in the differential grade glioma was further validated by bioinformatic analyses, with coexpression network construction. Furthermore, we found that cytochrome c oxidase subunit Vb (COX5B), the terminal enzyme of the electron transport chain, was the central gene in a coexpression network that transfers electrons from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen and, in the process, generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane. The expression level of COX5B was then detected in 87 glioma tissues as well as adjacent normal tissues using immunohistochemistry. We found that COX5B was significantly upregulated in 67 of 87 (77.0%) glioma and glioblastoma tissues, compared with adjacent tissue (p<0.01). Furthermore, statistical analysis showed the COX5B expression level was significantly associated with clinical stage and lymph node status, while there were no correlations between COX5B expression and age or tumor size. Conclusion:These data indicate that COX5B may be implicated in glioma pathogenesis and as a biomarker for identification of the pathological grade of glioma.
