The activity of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-pi) was examined in 100 cases including various histologic subtypes and grading of human brain tumors and 10 cases of fetal brains by immunohistochemical studies. The 69% of cases with brain tumors were shown to be positive for GST-pi.
BACKGROUND
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes are involved in detoxifying chemotherapy and clearing reactive oxygen species formed by radiation. We explored the relationship between the host GSTP1 105 A > G polymorphism (rs1695), tumor GSTpi protein expression, and clinical outcomes in
New adjuvant therapy individualized by the results of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for drug-resistance genes has been used to treat malignant gliomas. Protocol studies for malignant gliomas were not so encouraging in their therapeutic results because of heterogeneity and
