Unveiling the multifaceted functions of TRIM proteins in glioma pathogenesis

Gliomas, the most prevalent malignant primary brain tumors in adults, represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options, particularly in high-grade cases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying glioma pathogenesis is crucial for d...

description Gliomas, the most prevalent malignant primary brain tumors in adults, represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options, particularly in high-grade cases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying glioma pathogenesis is crucial for developing novel and effective treatment strategies. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins, a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, due to their significant roles in glioma development and progression. This review comprehensively explores the diverse functions of TRIM proteins in gliomas, including their expression patterns, prognostic significance, and mechanisms of action that are both ubiquitination-dependent and -independent. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to elucidate the role of TRIM proteins in glioma pathogenesis and identify potential therapeutic targets within this protein family.
