MELK and glioma: We examined MELK, EZH2, and NF-κB expression by immunohistochemistry and demonstrated that MELK, EZH2, and NF-κB were abundantly enriched in the nuclei of high-grade gliomas with the average score ranking from 1.2 to 1.8, compared with the low-grade and normal adjacent tissues (Figure 1A).
