Gliomas are one of the most aggressive primary tumours, accounting for 81% of malignant brain tumours, and are associated with a significant mortality. Therefore, the elucidation of the molecular mechanism underlying glioma progression and identification of promising treatment targets are necessary. Here, the expression of prefoldin (PFDN) 6 in human glioma tissues and cell lines was evaluated using immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Celigo and CCK-8 assays were performed for assessing cell viability. Flow cytometry was used to
