TGF-β signaling is upregulated in GBM compared to IDH-mutant and 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendroglioma. Analysis of TCGA data comparing IDH-wt GBM and IDH-mutant and 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendroglioma. (a) TGFB1 and TGFB2 are upregulated in IDH-wt tumors. (b) GO term analysis reveals pathways related to extracellular matrix. (c) Heatmap of genes related to the top 20 GO terms where either TGFB1 or TGFB2 is present. (d) TGF-β responsive genes identified from the literature. (e) Analysis of drugs related to gene expression signature by connectivity map reveals that TGF-β inhibitors are one of the top candidate drugs that inhibit IDH-wt GBM signature. Abbreviations: GBM, glioblastoma; GO, Gene Ontology; IDH, isocitrate dehydrogenase; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-beta.
