Abstract
The Ski-interacting protein (SKIP) is a transcriptional cofactor distinct from other cofactors and is involved in regulation of many cancer-related proteins. However, its distribution and clinical significances in bladder cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, Quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of SKIP in clinical bladder cancer samples. In addition, the correlation of SKIP expression and clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes were analyzed. The expression levels of SKIP in clinical bladder cancer were much higher than that in paired adjacent noncancerous tissues. High expression of SKIP was closely related with histological grades and the poor prognosis of bladder cancer. Based on our data, we speculated that SKIP may be a potential prognostic marker in bladder cancer.Entities:
