SNAI2 and central nervous system cancer: The expression of Snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2) in glioma tissues was initially predicted via bioinformatics analysis and subsequently confirmed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), which revealed that SNAI2 was highly expressed in glioma tissues as well as GSCs, with an inverse correlation with overall glioma patient survival detected.
