The new oncogene transmembrane protein 60 is a potential therapeutic target in glioma.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is a malignant tumor with a high fatality rate, originating in the central nervous system. Even after standard treatment, the prognosis remains unsatisfactory, probably due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets. The family of transmembrane proteins (TMEM) is a large family of genes that encode proteins closely related to the malicious behavior of tumors. Thus, it is necessary to explore the molecular and clinical characteristics of newly identified oncogenes, such as transmembrane protein 60 (TMEM60), to develop effective treating options for glioma. We used bioinformatic methods and basic experiments to verify the expression of transmembrane protein 60 in gliomas and its relationship with 1p and 19q (1p19q) status, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status, patient prognosis, an
