【Objective】To investigate the expression of miR-143 and miR-145 in bladder cancer and their association with clinicopathologic features of bladder cancer. 【Methods】 miRNA microarray
Northen blot
real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of miR-143 and miR-145 in bladder cancer and their association with clinical stages and grades were analyzed. 【Results】The expression of miR-143 and miR-145 were significantly decreased in bladder cancer compared with normal adjacent tissues by miRNA microarray
Northen blot and real-time PCR. However
there were not significant differences in different clinical stages and grades of bladder cancer. 【Conclusion】The expression of miR-143 and miR-145 were significantly decreased in bladder cancer
which may be closely involved in the tumorigenesis of bladder cancer.
