We aimed to characterize the role of HMGB1 overexpression in glioma and to evaluate its use as a biomarker. We used the gene expression datasets and tissue microarray to assess the expression levels of HMGB1 among gliomas of all grades; We then assessed its correlation with the malignancy and outcome of glioma. The increase in HMGB1 mRNA and protein levels was found in glioma, but there was no correlation between HMGB1 expression and glioma malignancy, and overall survival and vital status of glioma patients. Overexpression of HMGB1 is not associated with the malignancy and outcome in glioma. And it is not the valuable biomarker for the early diagnosis of glioma.

Glioblastoma IDH wild type (GBM IDH wt) has a poor prognosis and a strongly associated with inflammatory processes. Inflammatory molecules generate positive feedback with tumor cells fueling tumor growth as well as recruitment of immune cells that promote aggressiveness. Although the role of many inflammatory molecules is well known, there are many macromolecules, such as the S100A proteins, whose role is only now beginning to be established.

Identifying new substances that could potentially be used for tumor therapy and the precise analysis of their spectrum of action requires models that are as similar as possible to the tumor present in the patient. Traditionally, two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures are used. However, these only resemble solid tumors to a limited extent.

HOXD13, a member of the homeobox gene family, plays a critical role in developmental processes and has been implicated in various malignancies, including pancreatic cancer and glioma. However, its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the potential of HOXD13 as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for OSCC.

Despite the growing interest in Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) as a potential biomarker in cancer research, studies on its clinical relevance and biological processes in glioblastoma are still unexplored. Three main glioma cohorts (TCGA, CGGA, Rembrandt) were extracted to exploit the association between PCK2 expression and clinical relevance through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect PCK2 expression in glioma samples.
