Journal ArticleDOI

Unique DNA methylation patterns distinguish noninvasive and invasive urothelial cancers and establish an epigenetic field defect in premalignant tissue.

TL;DR: The hypomethylation present in noninvasive tumors may counterintuitively provide a biological explanation for the failure of these tumors to become invasive and contribute to a loss of epithelial integrity and create a permissible environment for tumors to arise.
Journal ArticleDOI

siRNA-mediated knockdown of the heme synthesis and degradation pathways: modulation of treatment effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy in urothelial cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: The results suggested that FECH siRNA improved the phototoxicity of ALA‐PDT, overexpression of HO‐1 was associated with shorter (GT)n repeat of the promoter region, and siRNA‐mediated knockdown ofHO‐1 could suppress the growth of bladder cancer cells overexpressing HO‐ 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitive detection of FGFR3 mutations in bladder cancer and urine sediments by peptide nucleic acid-mediated real-time PCR clamping.

TL;DR: Somatic mutations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene were detected by peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-mediated real-time PCR clamping and no mutations were detected in tissues and/or urine samples from patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer or chronic cystitis.
