Overexpression of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) associates with recurrence of meningiomas

Abnormal expression of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) has been identified in various types of malignant tumors. In the present study, we investigated the expression of PEBP4 in meningioma cases and examined whether PEBP4 expression was correlated with outcomes among these patient...

Description
Summary:Abnormal expression of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) has been identified in various types of malignant tumors. In the present study, we investigated the expression of PEBP4 in meningioma cases and examined whether PEBP4 expression was correlated with outcomes among these patients. The expression levels of PEBP4 and Ki-67 in human meningioma tissues from 65 patients were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. The correlation between PEBP4 immunoreactivity in meningioma samples and patients’ clinical outcomes was examined using the Kruskal–Wallis correlation test. The prognostic value of PEBP4 expression in meningiomas patients also was investigated. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed up-regulated PEBP4 expression in both atypical and anaplastic meningiomas compared with classical meningiomas (13.38 ± 4.19% vs. 3.64 ± 2.04%, P
