ELK3: A New Molecular Marker for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Glioma.

ABSTRACT: ETS transcription factor ELK3 (ELK3), a novel oncogene, affects pathological processes and progression of many cancers in human tissues. However, it remains unclear whether ELK3, as a key gene, affects the pathological process of gliomas and the prognosis of patients with gliomas. This study aimed to comprehensively and systematically reveal the correlation between ELK3 and the malignant progression of gliomas by analyzing clinical sample information stored in multiple databases. We revealed the putative mechanism of ELK3 involvement in malignant gliomas progression and identified a new and efficient biomarker for glioma diagnosis and targeted therapy. Based on the sample data from multiple databases and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)
