Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the quantitative expression of Melanoma-associated antigen MAGE-E1 mRNA in glioma, and explore its potential for immunotherapy in glioma.Methods:To establish a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT-PCR) method to quantitatively determine MAGE-E1 mRNA in glioma.A total of 47 human glioma and 14 normal brain tissue specimens were analyzed.MAGE-E1 mRNA was normalized to HPRT1, a housekeeping gene.MAGE-E1/HPRT1 was used to evaluate the expression level of MAGE-E1 mRNA.Results:High-level expression of MAGE-E1 was observed in 7.1%of normal brain and 66.0%glioma tissues,which shown significant difference with P<0.05.There was irrelevant between the expression of MAGE-E1 mRNA and clinicopathogical parameters ,such as gender ,age,histological subtype and grade.Conclusion:With higher expression of MAGE-E1 in glioma tissues,it might be a potential target for immunotherapy of glioma.
