Comparative quantitative evaluation of the XIAP, survivin & Ki67 transcript levels in urine & tissue samples of bladder cancer patients
Introduction • Bladder cancer (BCa)- 5th most common cancer in European men & 6th leading cause of death • Cystoscopy & urine cytology - current gold standards for diagnosis & surveillance of BCa • Ideal tumor marker for non-invasive diagnostics & surveillance does not yet exist
Introduction • Survivin inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) that is selectively over-expressed in most human malignancies • Objectives • determine suitability of survivin as diagnostic, surveillance (and prognostic) marker of BCa • compare the utility of survivin to other potential tumor markers e.g. Ki67 and XIAP
Materials & Methods • Prospective study • Single, tertiary level referral centre • January - June 2006 • Inclusion criteria • patients undergoing transurethral resection (TUR) for newly diagnosed BCa, recurrent BCa & cystoscopically suspicious bladder lesions
Materials & Methods • Exclusion criteria • Patients with PCa, IDC, UTI • Controls • BPH patients • Cystitis patients • Healthy volunteers
Materials & Methods • BCa patients • Pre-operative urine sample • Intra-operative tumor tissue & “normal appearing” bladder mucosa • Post-operative urine sample (1 POD) • Above repeated for every session of TUR • Controls • 1 urine sample from each
Materials & Methods • Quantitative evaluation of urinary & tissue levels of survivin, XIAP & Ki67 • Normalized ratios of survivin, XIAP & Ki67 correlated with clinicopathological data
Results • Reference genes :HPRT & TBP • Negative correlation between reference gene expression & urinary contamination by RBCs & WBCs
BCa patients 65 recruited 6 pts with both BCa & Pca, excluded from analysis > 59 pts analysed Age (median)= 69yrs (34 – 89) M:F= 39: 20 (66.1% : 33.9%) Newly dx: BCa recurr= 54: 5 (91.5% : 8.5%) PSA (median; 36 pts)= 0.90 (0.16 – 12.54)
