Disease: Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Two transplantable cell lines of human glioblastoma multiforme GL-3 and GL-5 carried an amplification and overexpression of structurally altered epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene: the 140 kilodalton EGF receptors in these cases exhibited a constitutively expressed tyrosine kinase activity without the ligand. 2168866 1990
CUI: C0017636

0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The epidermal growth factor (EGFR) pathway is frequently activated in glioblastoma but the clinical efficacy of EGFR inhibitors in malignant glioma has been disappointing. 27121290 2016

Disease: Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We analyzed the differential expression of potential target genes in a glioblastoma cell line in two nested RNAi experimental conditions and one negative control, contrasting expression with EGF stimulation against expression without EGF stimulation. 31438847 2019
