ABSTRACT: Background
The complement inhibitor CSMD1 acts as a tumor suppressor in various types of solid cancers. Despite its high level of expression in the brain, its function in gliomas, malignant brain tumors originating from glial cells, has not been investigated.Methods
Three cohorts of glioma patients comprising 1500 patients were analyzed in our study along with their clinical data. H4, U-118 and U-87 cell lines were used to investigate the tumor suppressor function of CSMD1 in gliomas. PDGFB-induced brain tumor model was utilized for the validation of in vitro data.Results
The downregulation of CSMD1 expression correlated with reduced overall and disease-free survival, elevated tumor grade, wild-type IDH genotype, and intact 1p/19q status. Moreover, enhanced activity
