RNA-seq analysis of PROX1 overexpression and knockdown in glioblastoma cell lines

Glioblastoma represents the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor type in adults. Stem cell regulatory pathways have been shown to be activated in gliomas supporting self-renewal, tumor maintenance and survival under stress. Glioblastoma stem-like phenotype, cell motility and tumor cell heterogeneity are considered significant hurdles to overcome for developing new treatment against these tumors. Transcription factor PROX1 has been associated with stem-like-phenotypes. Here, we overexpressed and suppressed PROX1 in glioma cell lines in order understand the gene expression regulated by this transcription factor.
