Downregulation of Williams syndrome transcription factor (WSTF) suppresses glioblastoma cell growth and invasion by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signal pathway

Williams syndrome transcription factor (WSTF) participates in diverse cellular processes, including tumor cell proliferation and migration. However, the function of WSTF in glioblastoma (GBM) remains unknown. Data from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and The Cancer Genome...
