Importin-11 overexpression can promote BCa cell invasiveness, probably associated with the deregulation of CDKN1A and THBS1 primarily through the activation of the proteoglycans in cancer pathway and the classical BCa pathway.
To determine the differential protein expression of biomarkers FGFR3, PI3K (subunits PI3Kp110α, PI3KClassIII, PI3Kp85), AKT, p21Waf1/Cip1 and cyclins D1 and D3 in T1 bladder cancer versus healthy tissue and to study their potential role as early recurrence markers.
Our findings suggest that TP53/CDKN1A double-mutant bladder cancer cells have a unique dependence on Chk1 activity for the G2-M cell-cycle checkpoint in response to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage.
Aqueous extract of Magnolia officinalis mediates proliferative capacity, p21WAF1 expression and TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activity in human urinary bladder cancer 5637 cells; involvement of p38 MAP kinase.
Here we investigated the effect of ADM on cell cycle progression and expression of cell cycle regulating proteins in bladder cancer cell lines with various p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) status.
To evaluate whether p21 (WAF-1/CIP1) should be considered a potential candidate for human bladder cancer gene therapy, we determined: (1) the basal level of p21 expression in bladder cancer cell lines, (2) the response of bladder cancer cells to increased p21 expression following p21 adenovirus infection, and (3) the mechanism of growth inhibition produced by p21 overexpression.
Correlation and prognostic significance of p53, p21WAF1/CIP1 and Ki-67 expression in patients with superficial bladder tumors treated with bacillus Calmette-Guerin intravesical therapy.
In order to assess potential p21WAF1/CIP1 gene alterations in human bladder cancer, we have examined this gene and its encoded product in a well-characterized cohort of 27 primary bladder tumors.
