RNA sequencing data of different grade astrocytoma cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Astrocytomas are the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumors in adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) assorts them into grades, from I to IV, based on histopathological features that reflect their malignancy [1]. Alongside with tumor progression, comes an increased proliferation, genomic instability, infiltration in normal brain tissue and resistance to treatments. The high genomic instability forges tumor cells enhancing key proteins that avoid cells from collapsing and favor therapy resistance [2]. To explore genes and pathways associated with tumor progression phenotypes we analyzed gene expression in a panel of non-tumor and glioma cell lines, namely: ACBRI371, non-tumor human astrocytes; HDPC, fibroblasts derived from dental pulp; Res186, Res259, Res286 and UW467
