evaluating the expression of survivin gene as a specific tumor marker for prognosis of bladder cancer

چکیده
objective: inhibition of apoptosis may favor the onset and progression of cancer. survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis that has been considered as a potential marker for diagnostic and/or prognostic of bladder cancer. the survivin protein regulates both cell division and cell death and is overexpressed in the vast majority of human cancers. in this study, the expression pattern and potential prognostic value of survivin was assessed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (ffpe) samples of bladder tumor. materials and methods:ffpe samples, from patients with a well-known five-year survival record, were assessed by semi-quantitative rt-pcr technique. 51 samples from 30 patients were analyzed on the basis of survivin expression. tissue distribution and subcellular localization of survivin protein in tumor tissues was also examined by immunohistochemistry (ihc). results: the expression of survivin was detected in 66.6% of the samples, with an increase of expression in higher grades of tumor. furthermore, survivin was overexpressed in 2nd and 3rd recurrences of the same patients. also, with the increased malignancy and accordingly increased expression of surviving, the overall 5-year survival rate of patients was significantly declined (p=0.036). ihc results also localized a nuclear localization for survivin protein in tumor tissues. conclusion: in conclusion, we were able to detect the expression of survivin in ffpe samples of bladder tissues, at the level of mrna and protein and find a correlation between the level of survivin expression and the degree of malignancy of the tumors. our findings introduce survivin as a suitable prognostic marker for predicting the bladder tumors.

Evaluating the Expression of Oct4 as a Prognostic Tumor Marker in Bladder Cancer
Objective(s)The key transcriptional regulator Oct4 is one of the self-renewal and differentiation-related factors in cancer stem cells, where it maintains "stemness" state. Cancer stem cells have been identified in a variety of solid malignancies. They are a small population of tumor cells with stem cell characteristics, which are a likely cause of relapse in cancer patients. Due to high incide...

Bladder cancer is one of the most common forms of cancers in the world. The current gold standards for itsdiagnosis are cystoscopy and urine cytology. Cystoscopy, a naked eye assessment of the bladder, is invasive, uncomfortable and costly with a great deal of personal variability in its results; while urine cytology has high specificity but low sensitivity, particularly for low-grade les...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Osteosarcoma is the most frequent malignant bone tumor with a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life. Diagnosis of patients with osteosarcoma is limited to clinico-pathological parameters whereas molecular markers of tumor initiation and promotion have not yet been identified. We aimed to study the expression of the anti-apoptotic survivin gene in osteosarcoma specimens. A total...
