“…We evidenced that a very large number of genes involved in gains and shared between TCs and GSCs belong to the GO term cellular component, particularly extracellular space, extracellular region and membrane, indicating a strong involvement in intercellular signaling. Interestingly, several gained genes shared between at least two datasets were reported in the literature as overexpressed in high-grade gliomas, associated with poor prognosis, or in any case, involved in canonical pathways of GBM ( EIF2AK1 , FTL , SRC , GNG8 , GNG11 , GNG7 , FZD9 , GNB2 , TGM2 ) [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Conversely, only one lost gene, AKR1C2 , shared between at least two datasets, was reported as downregulated and associated with high-risk-score glioma in the REMBRANDT data set [ 50 ].…”
