Abstract:
This case/control study is aimed at investigating the expression of CEP55, PLK1 and FOXM1 in bladder cancer tissues and comparing it with healthy tissue and their relationship with clinicopathological features of BC. Total RNA was extracted; then, gene expression was performed using real-time PCR relative to 18 s rRNA. 2-ΔΔCT method was used to calculate the relative expression of genes. A significant over expression of FOXM1, PLK1 and CEP55 was observed in tumor samples compared to adjacent and normal bladder tissues (all p = 0.001). Therefore, they may be supposed as potential candidate's biomarkers for early diagnosis and targets for cancer therapy.

Urinary Bladder
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
