Definition An astrocytoma characterized by the presence of small areas of necrotizing tissue that is surrounded by anaplastic cells as well as the presence of hyperplastic blood vessels, and that has material basis in abnormally proliferating cells derives from multiple cell types including astrocytes and oligondroctyes.

Gene symbol Species Enzyme Editing site(s) Editing Type PMID RADAR REDIportal Description
CDC14B Human ADAR2 13 A-to-I CDC14B editing and expression are progressively impaired in astrocytomas from grade I to IV, being very low in GBMs.
COG3 Human ADAR2 1 NA Over-editing (>40%) at the COG3 I/V site plays a critical pro-tumoral role in GBM and correlates with a worse prognosis in GBM patients.

Gene symbol Disease Enzyme Editing Sites Editing Type miRBase PMID Description
hsa-miR-589-3p ADAR2 3 A-to-I MIMAT0003256 miR-589-3p is a unique miRNA almost fully edited (100%) in normal brain and with a consistent editing decrease in glioblastoma. The edited version of miR-589-3p inhibits glioblastoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while the unedited version boosts cell proliferation and motility/invasion.
hsa-miR-221 ADAR2 2 A-to-I MI0000298 ADAR2 edits miR-221 precursors and decreases the expression of the corresponding mature onco-miRNAs in vivo and in vitro, with important effects on cell proliferation and migration.
hsa-miR-222 ADAR2 2 A-to-I MI0000299 ADAR2 edits miR-222 precursors and decreases the expression of the corresponding mature onco-miRNAs in vivo and in vitro, with important effects on cell proliferation and migration.
