We observed that the expression of apoptosis-related factors (cleaved caspase 3 and Bad) was lower, while the expression of anti-apoptosis (Bcl2), invasion (MMP2 and MMP9) and chemokine pathway related factors (CXCL10 and CXCR3) was higher in glioma tissues than in normal tissues. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and central nervous system cancer.
