The 13 GFs, including E&F, MDK, PlGF, IL-6, PEDF, SHH, IGF1, TGF-β, neuregulin 1 (NRG-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), PDGF and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) have been linked to the aggressive phenotypes of gliomas, such as cell proliferation, survival, invasion, cancer stemness and the resistance to standard therapies [14,16,18,27,29,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84]. The gene discussed is HGF; the disease is glioma.
