Popis: Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor. Filamin-binding LIM protein 1 (FBLIM1) has been identified in multiple cancers and is suspected of playing a part in the development of tumors. However, the potential function of FBLIM1 mRNA in glioma has not been investigated. In this study, the clinical information and transcriptome data of glioma patients were, respectively, retrieved from the TCGA and CGGA databases. The expression level of FBLIM1 mRNA was shown to be aberrant in a wide variety of malignancies. Significantly, when glioma samples were compared to normal brain samples, FBLIM1 expression was shown to be significantly elevated in the former. A poor prognosis was related to high FBLIM1 expression, which was linked to more advanced clinical stages. Notably, multivariate analyses demonstrated that FBLIM1 expression was an independent predictor for the overall survival of glioma patients. Immune infiltration analysis disclosed that FBLIM1 expression had relevance with many immune cells. The results of RT-PCR suggested that FBLIM1 expression was markedly elevated in glioma specimens. Functional experiments unveiled that the knockdown of FBLIM1 mRNA suppressed glioma cell proliferation. In general, we initially discovered that FBLIM1 mRNA might be a possible prognostic marker in glioma.
