Autophagy-associated biomarkers ULK2, UVRAG, and miRNAs miR-21, miR-126, and miR-374: Prognostic significance in glioma patients.

ABSTRACT: As the pioneering study from Pakistan, our research distinctly focuses on validating the roles of autophagy-associated genes and MicroRNAs (miRs) in the unique context of our population for glioma prognosis. The study delves into the nuanced interplay of autophagy within a miR-modulated environment, prompting an exploration of its potential impact on glioma development and survival. Employing real-time PCR (qPCR), we meticulously assessed the expression profiles of autophagy genes and miRs in glioma tissues, complemented by immunohistochemistry on Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from the same patients. Our comprehensive statistical analyses, including the data normality hypothesis Shapiro-Wilk test, the Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman correlation test, and Kaplan-Meier survival anal
