Response to anti-angiogenic therapy is affected by AIMP protein family activity in glioblastoma and lower-grade gliomas.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly vascularized, heterogeneous tumor, yet anti-angiogenic therapies have yielded limited survival benefits. The lack of validated predictive biomarkers for treatment response stratification remains a major challenge. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multicomplex proteins (AIMPs) 1/2/3 have been implicated in CNS diseases, but their roles in gliomas remain unexplored. We investigated their association with angiogenesis and their significance as predictive biomarkers for anti-angiogenic treatment response. Methods: In this multi-cohort retrospective study we analyzed glioma samples from TCGA, CGGA, Rembrandt, Gravendeel, BELOB and REGOMA trials, and four single-cell transcriptomic datasets. Multi-omic analyses incorporated transcriptomic, epigenetic, and proteomic data. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the prognostic value of AIMPs in heterogeneous and homogeneous treatment-groups. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we explored spatial and cell-type-specific AIMP2 expression in GBM. Results: AIMP1/2/3 expressions correlated significantly with angiogenesis across TCGA cancers. In gliomas, AIMPs were upregulated in tumor vs. normal tissues, higher- vs. lower-grade gliomas, and recurrent vs. primary tumors (p<0.05). Upon retrospective analysis of two clinical trials assessing different anti-angiogenic drugs, we found that high-AIMP2 subgroups had improved response to therapies in GBM (REGOMA: HR 4.75 [1.96-11.5], p<0.001; BELOB: HR 2.3 [1.17-4.49], p=0.015). AIMP2-cg04317940 methylation emerged as a clinically applicable stratification marker. Single-cell analysis revealed homogeneous AIMP2 expression in tumor tissues, particularly in AC-like cells, suggesting a mechanistic link to tumor angiogenesis. Conclusions: These findings provide novel insights into the role of AIMPs in angiogenesis, offering improved patient stratification and therapeutic outcomes in recurrent GBM.
