In addition, GAM expression of CD163 and macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) or CD204, both of which are considered M2 MΦ markers, was significantly higher in grade IV GBM when compared to low-grade glioma (LGG), indicating that polarization of GBM-associated MG and MΦ toward the M2 phenotype correlates with a more malignant histological grade (55). This evidence concerns the gene MSR1 and glioma.
