On the contrary, mRNA expressions of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT), thymidylate synthase (TS), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) in bladder cancer were higher than those in normal bladder.
We investigated the expression of TP and 10 invasion-related genes in bladder cancers from 72 randomly selected patients by real-time two-step RT-PCR assay.
Cooperative stimulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression by hypoxia and reactive oxygen species: the effect of targeting vascular endothelial growth factor and oxidative stress in an orthotopic xenograft model of bladder carcinoma.
