Study on the mechanism of KIF18B affecting the malignant progression of glioblastoma cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Member of the driver protein family 18B (KIF18B) is a potential prognostic marker and is highly expressed in a variety of cancers. However, its function in glioblastoma (GBM) remains unclear.

Methods

The expression data of KIF18B were obtained by accessing TCGA, CGGA and GEPIA databases, and verified by Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry. Glioma RNA sequencing data and clinical information were downloaded from TCGA and CGGA databases, and Kaplan-plotter survival analysis and Multivariable COX regression analysis were performed to plot ROC survival curves at 1, 3 and 5 years cBioPortal and MethSurv were used to carefully examine the prognostic value of KIF18B methylation. CBioPortal database and UALCAN database were used to obtain KIF18B co-expressed genes
