Expression Profile of Genes Related to Drug Metabolism in Human Brain Tumors. by Pantelis Stavrinou, Maria-Christina Mavrogiorgou, Konstantinos Polyzoidis, Vincenzo Kreft-Kerekes, Marco Timmer, Marios Marselos, Periklis Pappas

“…A negative correlation between the WHO degree of malignancy and the strength of expression was identified on both transcriptional and translational level for AOX1, GSTM3 and GSTP1, although the results could have been biased by the prevalence of meningiomas and glioblastomas in the inevitably bipolar distribution of the WHO grades. A correlation between the gene expression and the protein product was observed for AOX1, GSTP1 and GSTM3 in astrocytomas.The various CNS tumors show different patterns of drug metabolizing gene expression. …”
