Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) is an oncogene and a critical signaling molecule that has a wide variety of interactions with other oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, leading to increasing malignant properties of malignant gliomas, such as invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Its overexpression is enhanced by many factors such as exposure of the cells to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV-1 envelop glycoprotein 120, hypoxia, or glucose deprivation. Thorough understanding of these interactions along with AEG-1 inducers and repressors is important in setting a successful treatment plan targeting this oncogene. Since its discovery in 2002, AEG-1 has made a significant impact in improving our understanding of mechanism of malignant tumors progression, such as breast carcinomas, melanoma, and malignant gliomas. Therefore, it has been a novel therapeutic target for the past two decades. Herein, we focus on the role of AEG-1 in malignant gliomas and its interaction with other signaling molecules.

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 5-10%. Current therapeutic options are limited, due in part to drug exclusion by the blood-brain barrier, restricting access of targeted drugs to the tumor. The receptor for the type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1R) was identified as a therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

Background And Objectives: Cognitive deficits represent a major long-term complication of anti-leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 encephalitis (LGI1-E). Although severely affecting patient outcomes, the structural brain changes underlying these deficits remain poorly understood. In this study, we hypothesized a link between white matter (WM) networks and cognitive outcomes in LGI1-E.

This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between glioblastoma (GBM) and unsupervised deep learning-derived imaging phenotypes (UDIPs). We employed a combination of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), and scPagwas (pathway-based polygenic regression framework) methods to explore the genetic links between UDIPs and GBM. Two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted to identify causal relationships between UDIPs and GBM.

Background And Objectives: The risk-to-benefit ratio of transopercular awake resection for recurrent insular diffuse gliomas is poorly studied. We assessed feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake surgical resection of recurrent insular diffuse gliomas in patients with previous treatments (resection and/or radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and/or combination).
Methods: Observational, retrospective, single-institution cohort analysis (2010-2023) of 123 consecutive adult patients operated on for an insular diffuse glioma (2021 World Health Organization classification) under awake conditions.
