Expression of CD147, BIGH3 and Stathmin and their potential role as diagnostic marker in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder is characterised by very high recurrence rate, followed up by cystoscopy which being invasive technique makes the need for non-invasive markers important for Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) detection. CD147 is a transmembrane protein highly expressed in tumour cells which aids in tumour invasion and growth. BIGH3, an Extracellular matrix protein (ECM) which interacts with various ECM component in different tissue system and Stathmin(STMN1) is cytosolic microtubule destabilising protein also called as Oncoprotein18 due to its role in tumour promotion. So far the expression of BIGH3 and STMN1 remains undetermined in cancer subjects including TCC. We therefore studied the levels and molecular expression of these molecules in TCC patients, to evaluate their usefulness as diagnostic markers.Divya Bhagirath, Nitin Abrol, Rehan Khan, Manoj Sharma, Amlesh Seth, Alpana Sharma
