The expression of SATB1, E-cadherin (epithelial markers), vimentin (mesenchymal markers) in BTCC tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues, as well as in two cell lines of bladder cancer were investigated.
Search results indicated that FOXQ1 expression was inversely correlated to E-cadherin, but positively to TGF-β1 and Vimentin in patients with BTCC (P<0.05).
