High expression of HOXA4 in patients with glioma indicates unfavorable clinical outcomes.

ABSTRACT: HOXA4 is a novel oncogene that has been observed in many kinds of tumors, but its role during glioma carcinogenesis and its clinical significance in diagnosing and prognosis human glioma remains unknown. In the present study, the Chinese Glioma Atlas (CGGA)-RNA sequencing database, CGGA microarray, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-RNA seq data from 1674 glioma patients were obtained from online databases and analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect changes in the expression level of HOXA4 and characterize the relationship between HOXA4 and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with glioma. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to reveal how HOXA4 regulates tumor-related pathways.
