Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) in astrocytomas, and to investigate its role in the progression of astrocytomas. The expression of PGAM1 mRNA in rat C6 glioma cells and normal astrocytes was determined using the reverse transcription‑semi‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PGAM1 protein in human astrocytomas and adjacent brain tissue. These data suggested that the expression of PGAM1 in rat C6 glioma cells was significantly increased compared with that of normal astrocytes (P<0.05), and the expression of PGAM1 protein in human astrocytoma tissue was significantly increased compared with that of the brain tissue surrounding the tumor (P<0.05). In addition, PGAM1 protein was more frequently expressed in high‑grade astrocytomas compared with low‑grade astrocytomas. These data indicate that the expression of PGAM1 is increased in C6 cells and human astrocytomas, and PGAM1 is probably involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of glioma, which may be a potential target for glioma treatment.
