All YRNAs were significantly downregulated in PCA tissue compared to normal tissue (all YRNAs) and to BPH tissue (RNY4 and RNY5; RNY1 and RNY3 as trend).
Furthermore, expression of RNY1 and RNY3 was predictive for BCA patients' overall (also RNY4) and cancer-specific survival as estimated using Kaplan-Meier and univariate (but not multivariate) Cox regression analyses.
RNY1, RNY3 and RNY4 show good discriminative ability between tumor and normal tissue, as well as between muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
