چکیده

BACKGROUND Survivin is a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis protein family that plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Here, we examined the association between survivin expression and clinical outcome in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). METHODS A total of 56 histopathologically confirmed UCB patients were recruited from the Department of Urology of Chiayi Christian Hospital from August 2007 to May 2009. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the survivin expression in tumor tissues. The -31 C/G polymorphism in survivin promoter region was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS The frequency of high survivin expression was significantly higher in muscle-invasive tumors (66.6%) than in non-muscle-invasive tumors (34.2%) (P = 0.042) and in poorly differentiated (85.7%) tumors than in moderately differentiated tumors (30.8%) (P = 0.0014). The higher frequency of risk genotypes (C/C and C/G) was found in the median (72.7%) and high (68.0%) survivin expression groups. The multivariate analysis showed that a high survivin expression level was a potential predictive biomarker of poor overall survival (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the high survivin expression was associated with tumor stage and grade and may present a predictive marker of overall survival in UCB.

Augmented expression levels of lncRNAs ecCEBPA and UCA1 in gastric cancer tissues and their clinical significance

Objective(s): As the second cause of cancer death, gastric cancer (GC) is one of the eminent dilemmas all over the world, therefore investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in this cancer is pivotal. Unrestricted proliferation is one of the characteristics of cancerous cells, which is due to deficiency in cell regulatory systems. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical re...

Survivin expression as a strong indicator of recurrence in urothelial bladder cancer. Predictive value of nuclear versus cytoplasmic staining.

BACKGROUND Since its discovery in 1997, survivin has garnered significant interest due to its putative role as an inhibitor of apoptosis. Few studies have investigated the immunohistochemical status of survivin in urothelial bladder carcinoma. The subcellular localization of survivin (nuclear, cytoplasmic) and its differential predictive value is a parameter that previous studies have almost ig...

افزایش بروز ژن P53 در سرطان ترانزیشنال مثانه

ABSTRACT Bladder cancer consists of about 5.2% of all cancers in men and 2.3% in women. About 90% of them have the origin of transitional cells(TCC). There are some predictive factors that knowledge of them is useful for management and follow-up of the patients. Expression of oncoprotein P53 is one of these factors. Considering influence of P53 expression on prognosis, we decided ...
