The present invention belongs to the technical fields of
disease diagnosis and treatment and
molecular biology, and particularly relates to the application of HMGCL as a
glioma diagnosis /
prognosis marker and a therapeutic target. The present invention demonstrates for the first time that the expression of HMGCL increases with the increase in the
malignancy degree of
glioma and is negatively correlated with the
survival rate. At the same time, the HMGCL
lentivirus can significantly reduce the expression level of HMGCL in
glioma, and the knockdown of HMGCL inhibits the proliferation and
colony formation of glioma cells, and can be used as an effective target for the prevention and / or treatment of glioma. In addition, the present invention demonstrates that the specific knockdown of HMGCL can lead to a significant decrease in the level of
histone acetylation modification in GBM cells. In summary, the HMGCL and its
molecular mechanism provided by the present invention will contribute to the in-depth understanding of the
pathogenesis of glioma, and will also contribute to providing
potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the
clinical diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, prevention and treatment of glioma, and therefore has good practical application value.
