Abstract It is well known that RNA editing plays a critical role in glioma progress. The most frequent RNA editing mechanism is controlled by the ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on dsRNA) family of enzymes. The recent researches proved that there is a great quantity of new ADAR editing sites in 1637 kinds of genes. Whether these genes connect with RNA editing or ADAR on glioma is still unknown. To clarify the possibility of those genes connect with RNA editing on glioma, we arrange those genes according to the most frequent chromosome imbalances in primary glioma, which suggests that most of those genes are concentrated on chromosome 22q. Furthermore, there are 8 genes (TXNRD2, ADRBK2, THOC5, APOL1, APOL6, PISD, ARSA and GGA1) associated with glioma, meanwhile, 3 genes (ADRBK2, THOC5 and APOL1) associated with gene transcription, and the TXNRD2 associated with post-transcription regulation in human medulloblastoma cells. On the other hand, 8 genes (APOBEC3D, POLDIP3, SAPS2, GNB1L, FLJ23588, DMC1, NUP50 and POLR2F ) are associated with RNA composition, although without connection with glioma. At present, none of them is reported to be associated with RNA editing or ADAR on glioma. Overall, those 16 genes which may have connection with glioma or RNA composition, suggest the existence of new ADAR editing sites which are potential candidates in charge of RNA editing on glioma.

Introduction RNA editing plays a critical role in tumor(glioma included) progress. The most frequent RNA editing mechanism in mammals involves the conversion of specific adenosines into inosines (A-to-I) by the ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on dsRNA) family of enzymes. Levanon EY researches proved that 12,723 new A-to-I editing sites in 1,637 different genes. We arrange those genes according to site of the most frequent mutation in primary glioma. Then it is found that the most concentrated place is chromosome 22q (29 genes). Here our summary is reported in the following part:

8 Genes Associated with Glioma TXNRD2 TXNRD2, i.e. Thioredoxin reductase 2 (TrxR2), SELZ, TR, TR-BETA, TR3, TRXR2, selenoprotein Z; thioredoxin reductase 3 and thioredoxin reductase beta, is on the chromosome 22q11.21. As an isoenzyme of TrxR, which is both the major component in gradient of the hydrosulfide group regulation system and the essential material for the oxidation-reduction reaction in the cell metabolism, its saitivity to active oxygen makes itself an essential enzyme on the oxidation-reduction reaction in tumor cell. And its overexpression in most mankind tumor tissue also makes itself a resistance marker or target in the anti-tumor drug research. TXNRD2 can induce the apoptosis in HeLa (human), Neuro2A (mouse) and COS-7 (monkey). Monden T proves that thyroid hormone T3 can regulate the TR level after the RNA composition process in the human medulloblastoma HTB-185. ADRBK2 ADRBK, i.e. Adrenergic beta receptor kinase 2, BARK2, GRK3 and beta adrenergic receptor kinase 2, is on the chromosome 22q12.1. Some literatures reported association between β2adrenergic receptors (β2AR) or β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and glioma. Among the β2-adrenergic receptors, β-adrenergic receptor and protein kinase C (PKC), there are regulating effects in the rat glioma C6 cell, which is associated with gene transcription. THOC5 THOC5, i.e. THO complex 5, NF2/meningioma region protein pK1.3, C22orf19, Fmip, PK1.3, Fms-interacting protein (FMIP) and placental protein 39.2, is located on the chromosome 22q12.2.
