The aim of this study was to test 50 tissue samples from patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and 21 normal brain tissues obtained from autopsy material of patients without brain tumors in order to investigate the presence of possible oncogenic microorganisms, including EBV, JCV, BKV and Toxoplasma gondii, and to evaluate patient clinical characteristics of patients with respect to microorganism findings.Material and Methods: Fifty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens obtained from glioblastoma tissue and 21 normal brain tissues obtained in the autopsy of individuals without brain tumor were retrospectively analyzed. After de-paraffinization of tissue samples, DNA extraction was performed for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis to detect BKV, JCV, EBV and Toxoplasma gondii via commercially available multiplex kits.Results: Strikingly, viral DNA was detected in 12 specimens (24%) of the GBM group and in none of the non-tumor brain specimens (p=0.014). BKV was detected in 4, EBV was detected in 3 (of these, 2 were alive during the study), Toxoplasma gondii was detected in 5 and JCV genotype was detected in 1 of the total 50 GBM tissue specimens.Conclusion: Our results suggest that viruses may be associated with the development or progression of GBM. Understanding the role of BKV, JCV, EBV and other oncoviruses in the etiology of gliomas would likely open up new avenues for the treatment and management of this highly fatal central nervous system tumor.Keywords: BKV; EBV; Glioblastoma Multiforme; JCV; PCR; Toxoplasma ÖZETAmaç: Son zamanlarda sitomegalovirus, epstein barr virüsü, BK virüs ve JC virüsünün glioma gelişimine katkıda bulunduğu öne sürülmüştür, ancak bu konudaki kanıtlar çelişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, EBV, JCV, BKV ve Toksoplazma gondi gibi olası onkojenik mikroorganizmaların varlığını araştırmak için Gliyoblastoma Multiforme’li (GBM) hastalardan alınan 50 doku örneğini ve beyin tümörü olmayan hastaların otopsi materyalinden elde edilen 21 normal beyin dokusunu test etmek ve mikroorganizma bulguları açısından hastaların klinik özelliklerini değerlendirmekti.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Glioblastoma dokusundan elde edilen 50 Formalin ile fikse edilmiş parafine gömülü örnek ve beyin tümörü olmayan bireylerin otopsisinde elde edilen 21 normal beyin dokusu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Doku örneklerinin deparafinizasyonundan sonra, piyasada bulunan multipleks kitler aracılığıyla BKV, JCV, EBV ve Toksoplazma gondi&#039;yi tespit etmek için gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-PCR) analizi için DNA ekstraksiyonu gerçekleştirildi.Bulgular: Çarpıcı bir şekilde, viral DNA, GBM grubunun 12 örneğinde (%24) tespit edilirken, tümör olmayan beyin örneklerinin hiçbirinde tespit edilmedi (p = 0,014). Toplam 50 GBM doku örneğinin 4&#039;ünde BKV, 3&#039;ünde EBV (bunlardan 2&#039;si çalışma sırasında hayattaydı), 5&#039;inde Toksoplazma gondi ve 1&#039;inde JCV genotipi tespit edildi.Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız, virüslerin GBM gelişimi veya progresyonu ile ilişkili olabileceğini göstermektedir. BKV, JCV, EBV ve diğer onkovirüslerin gliomaların etiyolojisindeki rolünü anlamak, bu son derece ölümcül olan merkezi sinir sistemi tümörünün tedavisi ve yönetimi için yeni yollar açacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: BKV; EBV; Glioblastoma Multiforme; JCV; PCR; Toksoplazma</p></abstract>
