An FFPE sample of WHO grade I, WHO grade II meningioma and a normal brain FFPE tissue were sectioned by using microtome.

The results displayed that SOX6, SOX13 and SOX9 gene were downregulated in all low-grade meningioma compared to normal tissue. In addition, there were upregulations observed in both SOX6 and SOX9 expressions but downregulated in high-grade meningioma for SOX13. SOX6, SOX13 and SOX9 expression levels in selected brain tumours in Malaysian population provide new insights of SoxD and SoxE expression in this population. The well-known versatility functions of SOX genes and the canonical interaction of SOX genes with their co-factors may elucidate the inconsistency of SOX gene expression level across diseases and genetic backgrounds.
