Overexpression of CTAG1B is a potential biomarker in bladder cancer
Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is the most common form of bladder cancer and is associated with the need for life-long surveillance once a patient is diagnosed with a non-invasive disease. Due to the long-term risk of recurrence and the need for life-long routine monitoring and therapy, the cost pe...

Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is the most common form of bladder cancer and is associated with the need for life-long surveillance once a patient is diagnosed with a non-invasive disease. Due to the long-term risk of recurrence and the need for life-long routine monitoring and therapy, the cost per UCC patient from diagnosis to death is the highest of all cancers. The development of non-invasive biomarkers of recurrence and progression can increase survival, decrease treatment costs and improve patient quality of life. However, to date, no biomarker(s) have been endorsed for the use in the clinical management of UCC, especially in predicting risk of progression and recurrence. CTAG1B was previously found to be highly expressed in high-stage and grade bladder cancer, albeit in Caucasian cohorts. However, despite its potential as a target for cancer immunotherapy, the effect of expression modulation on cellular phenotypes has never been reported. In this study, we overexpressed CTAG1B in an invasive bladder cancer cell line, EJ28 after we confirmed that this cell line minimally expressed CTAG1B. The cells were transfected with CTAG1B-pcDNA3.1(-) and the level of expression was confirmed by qRT-PCR.
