Plectin plays a role in the migration and volume regulation of astrocytes: a potential biomarker of glioblastoma

Abstract Background The expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and intermediate filament (IF) proteins is altered in malignant glioblastoma (GBM), yet the expression of the major IF-based cytolinker, plectin (PLEC), and its contribution to GBM migration and invasiveness, are unknown. Here, we assessed the...
