Research Abstract

We analyzed the expression of Sox4 mRNA in various brain tumor samples obtained by surgical resection or tumor cell lines using real-time PCR analysis. We found that the expression levels of Sox4 mRNA in medulloblastomas are especially increased among these brain tumors. When we transfer Sox4 gene into malignant glioma cell lines, the cell growth was strongly enhanced. Conversely, when we transfer Sox4 gene into medulloblastoma cell lines, there was no significant change in cell growth.
