mRNA expression of ALDH1A3 in GBM. a TCGA database showed a lower expression of ALDH1A3 mRNA in GBM (n = 525) compared with the control (n = 10). b The higher expression of ALDH1A3 mRNA was associated with the shorter overall survival (OS) of GBM patients at optimal cutoff based on TCGA database. c mRNA expression of ALDH1A3 detected in the present study by real-time RT-PCR in primary GBM (n = 30) and control (n = 9) supported the data from TCGA database. d Subgroup analysis of mRNA expression of ALDH1A3 and other stem cell markers in subventricular zone (SVZ+) and in non-subventricular zone (SVZ−). Student’s t test with Welch’s correction was utilized between two groups in a, c, d (*P < 0.05)
