However, its function in glioma remains undefined. CBX7 expression is decreased in glioma, especially in higher grade cases, according to data in the CGGA, GSE16001 and TCGA databases. Further experimental evidence has shown that exogenous CBX7 overexpression induced apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation and migration of glioma cells. In this study, we show that the invasive ability of glioma cells was decreased following CBX7 overexpression and CBX7 overexpression was associated with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibition, which also decreased downstream expression of ZEB1, a core epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition factor. This reduction in Wnt signaling is controlled by DKK1, a specific Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor. CBX7 enhances DKK1 expression by binding the DKK1 promoter, as shown in Luciferase reporter assays. Our data confirm that CBX7 inhibits EMT and invasion in glioma, which is manifested by influencing the expression of MMP2, MMP9, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin in LN229, T98G cells and primary glioma cells (PGC). Furthermore, as a tumor suppressor, CBX7 expression is pivotal to reduce tumor invasion and evaluate prognosis.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "T-test was used to analyze differences in each two-group comparison, while One-way ANOVA was used to determine the difference among at least three groups.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:28388562", "locator": "sections[28] \"Statistical analysis\" paragraph 2", "quote": "T-test was used to analyze differences in each two-group comparison, while One-way ANOVA was used to determine the difference among at least three groups."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The expression of CBX7 was analyzed in normal brain tissues and glioma tissues of the CGGA (n=225) and GSE16001 (n=284) glioma datasets.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:28388562", "locator": "sections[3] \"CBX7 expression is decreased in glioma and correlated with malignancy grade\" paragraph 3", "quote": "The expression of CBX7 was analyzed in normal brain tissues and glioma tissues of the CGGA (n=225) and GSE16001 (n=284) glioma datasets."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:28388562"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
