Abstract:
Objective:To detect the expression of microchromosome maintenance protein 6 (MCM6) in bladder cancer tissues, and to explore the relationship between MCM6 and the clinical prognosis of bladder cancer. To explore the possibility of MCM6 as a potential biomarker for bladder cancer.Methods:Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the mRNA levels of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, and to analyze the relationship between its expression and the survival rate of bladder cancer patients. The clinicopathological data of 83 patients with bladder cancer underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of MCM6 protein in bladder cancer tissue and normal tissue adjacent to the cancer, and analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of bladder cancer patients.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that MCM6 mRNA was significantly highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues and was significantly correlated with the overall survival rate ( P=0.036) and disease-free survival rate ( P=0.01) of the patients. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissues adjacent to the cancer, and high expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue was related to tumor stage ( P=0.025), but had nothing to do with age, gender and tumor grade (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue is significantly high and indicates a poor prognosis, and its expression level is related to the tumor stage of bladder cancer patients. MCM6 may serve as a new potential biomarker for bladder cancer.
