Proapoptotic genes BAX and CD40L are predictors of survival in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of expression of a range of genes involved in apoptosis on outcome in bladder cancer. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine expression of BCL2, BAX, P53, CD40 and CD40L in archival tissues of patients In conclusion, it was seen that overexpressions of BAX and CD40L are prognostic of better survival in TCC of the bladder. Our results also raise the possibility of the future development of CD40-and CD40 ligand-based immunotherapy for bladder cancer. This… Show more

“…Transgenic CD40L expression in murine tumor cells enhances antitumor immunity (43,44). This is relevant to clinical data showing that CD40L expression is significantly associated with improved prognosis in bladder cancer patients (35). Our data show that CD40-CD40L is associated not only with down-regulatory effects of B cells on NK cells and T cells but also with the potential for stimulating antitumor immunity, such as IFN-g production.…”

“…Enhanced tumor immunity in BKO mice is correlated with IFN-g production from NK and CD8 T cells, which is partially dependent on CD40L expression on tumor cells. CD40L is expressed in several human cancer cells with both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic origins, such as T-cell lymphoma (31), renal carcinoma (32), melanoma (33), breast cancer (34), and bladder cancer (35), although the effects of B cells on CD40L-expressing tumors remain unclear. Our data support a model whereby B-cell stimulation via CD40 results in IL-10 secretion (36), which in turn diminishes CD8 and NK cell IFN-g secretion, antitumor activity, and CD8 T-cell memory development.…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] However, none of these studies accounted for the influence of smoking on protein alterations or outcomes in their cohorts. Furthermore, these studies did not profile such a comprehensive biomarker panel involving multiple cellular processes on a single cohort.…”

“…Proteins central to key cellular processes commonly implicated in urothelial tumorigenesis such as apoptosis, cell-cycle regulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, and invasion were immunohistochemically profiled; 7 several of these biomarkers have been previously identified as being individually prognostic in UCB, although none were combined in a broad multi-pathway panel. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] This was an effort to identify a marker panel that could predict outcome independent of standard criteria and smoking history.…”

“…Su valor como factor predictivo en el cáncer vesical está todavía también por determinar. Los estudios recientes mayoritariamente consideran que la expresión inmunohistoquímica de esta proteína no presenta un valor significativo ni en el análisis univariante ni en el multivariante 1, [30][31][32][33][34] . En tumores pT1G3, Wolf HK y cols.…”
