High levels of inflammatory genes including IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL13RA1, IL13RA2, IL10RB, CXCR4, OSMR, CCR1, MDK, LIF, FAS, CCL2, CCL20, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CXCL14 as well as GAM makers such as CD14, CD163, TLRs, and CHI3L1 co-occur and are positively associated with poor survival in mesenchymal GBM (73). Here, CXCL8 is linked to glioblastoma.
