Summary: | The study is performed to explore the correlations of forkhead box O3 (FoxO3) and forkhead box O4 (FoxO4) expressions with clinicopathological features and prognosis of bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from the recruited 222 patients were collected. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were applied to determine the expressions of FoxO3 and FoxO4. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between the expressions of FoxO3 and FoxO4. All patients were followed up and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to determine the associations of FoxO3 and FoxO4 expressions and postoperative survival. Cox proportional hazards model was conducted to analyze the risk factors for poor prognosis of bladder cancer.
The mRNA and expressions of FoxO3 and FoxO4 proteins in the bladder cancer tissues were lower than that in the adjacent normal tissues (both P |
