Objective:To study the expression of a novel inhibitor gene of apoptosis
survivin
in bladder transitional cell cancer
and its relationship with the expression of p53
bcl-2 and ki67 genes.Methods:Using streptavidin-biotin peroxidase(SP) method
we examined the expression of survivin
p53
bcl-2 and ki67 proteins in 10 normal bladder tissues and 58 bladder transitional cell cancer tissues.Results:Survivin was expressed in 41 of 58(70.7%) cases of BTCC.In contrast
normal bladder epithelium did not express survivin.Overexpression of survivin was related to the tumor grade and clinical stage.The expression of survivin was strongly correlated with p53.bcl-2 and ki67 expression.Conclusion:Apoptosis inhibition by survivin
alone or in cooperation with p53 and bcl-2 may participate in the onset and progression of bladder transitional cell cancer.Survivin could be a new diagnostic/therapeutic target in bladder tranditional cell cancer.
