Evaluation of proneural (OLIG2, IDH1R132H, TP53 and PDGFRα), classical (EGFR) and mesenchymal markers (CHI3L1/YKL40, CD44 and phospho-STAT3), and the expression of pluripotency (SOX2, OLIG2, NESTIN) and differentiation (GFAP, MAP2, β-Tubulin III) markers revealed the striking intertumor heterogeneity of primary GBM cell cultures. This evidence concerns the gene CHI3L1 and glioblastoma.
