A colorimetric microarray for the multiplexed detection of recurrence of bladder cancer including protein markers interleukin-8 (IL8), decorin (DCN), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was established to enable easy and cheap read-out by a simple office scanner paving the way for quick therapy monitoring at doctors' offices.
Together, these results demonstrate the key roles of B cells within the bladder tumor microenvironment that increase the BCa metastasis and may help us to develop the potential therapies via targeting these newly identified IL-8/AR/MMPs signals to better battle the BCa progression.
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) over-production and autocrine cell activation are key factors in monomethylarsonous acid [MMA(III)]-induced malignant transformation of urothelial cells.
Expression of angiogenesis-related genes regulates different steps in the process of tumor growth and metastasis in human urothelial cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
These findings indicate that at the early stage of tumor growth, bFGF and IL-8 expression play important roles in the regulation of angiogenesis, tumorigenicity and subsequent metastases of human bladder cancer.
Using the TaqMan method, we genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms in interleukin (IL) -6 (-174 G-->C), IL-8 (-251 T-->A), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha; -308 G-->A), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG; Pro12Ala), and determined their associations with BC initiation and clinical outcome.
In the present manuscript, we identify the factors constitutively produced by a human bladder cancer cell line (KU-19-19) that was found to produce beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin 1alpha (IL-1alpha), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8).
