Abstract: Objective To explore potential therapeutic targets with bioinformatics for the treatment of meningiomas, the most common primary central nervous system tumors. Methods A preliminary understanding of the genomic characteristics of high-grade meningiomas was obtained through analysis of public databases to assess the genes associated with aberrant methylation regulation. Results A total of 3 006 genes whose expression was regulated by aberrant methylation were identified, including 210 genes with high mutation frequency, and pathways associated with malignant tumor development and migration were mined. Conclusions Genes and related pathways potentially regulated by aberrant methylation in high-grade meningioma provides bio-markers and potential therapeutic targets for high-grade meningioma.

Key words: high-grade meningioma, aberrant methylation, signaling pathway
