Abstract

The expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRP) on the surface of neoplastic cells has been proposed as a mechanism by which these cells evade immune surveillance. We have examined the RNA expression of the genes that encode 5 kinds of CRP in various human brain tumors to determine whether CRP expression might play a role in the malignant progression of these tumors. The benign and atypical meningiomas, and the astrocytomas showed high expression of SP-40,40, low expression of CD59, and barely detectable expression of CD46, CD55 and S-protein. The benign and atypical menigiomas showed significantly greater expression of SP-40,40 at the RNA level when compared to malignant meningiomas. This study describes the mRNA expression of meningiomas, astrocytomas, tumor cell lines and normal human tissues.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
