ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the expression level of TTK in bladder cancer, and its role in the proliferation and migration. To investigate the relationship between TTK and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We compared the expression level of TTK between human bladder cancer tissues and normal bladder epithelial tissues from 70 patients using immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and western blotting. Subsequently, we conducted cell viability and cell migration experiments to investigate the effect of TTK on bladder cancer cells. Furthermore, we used qRT-PCR to detect the biomarkers of EMT to examine the relationship between TTK and EMT.RESULTS:
The expression level of TTK was significantly higher in bladder cancer tissues as compared to the adjacent noncancerous tissues (P < 0.001). The qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting also showed the same trend. Furthermore, cell viability and cell migration assays showed that TTK promoted proliferation and migration of human bladder cancer cells, and mediated EMT.CONCLUSION:
This study showed that high expression of TTK can promote proliferation and migration, and might mediate the EMT process in human bladder cancer cells.
