Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

A new 8-gene signature can predict non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence. Targeting SDCBP may also help delay bladder cancer relapse.

Area Of Science

  • Oncology
  • Genomics
  • Biomarkers

Background

  • Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a high recurrence rate despite treatment.
  • Current clinical factors are insufficient for accurate recurrence risk assessment.
  • Novel predictive tools are needed for NMIBC management.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To develop and validate a gene signature for predicting NMIBC recurrence.
  • To construct a clinical nomogram integrating gene signature and clinicopathological factors.
  • To investigate the biological role of SDCBP in bladder cancer progression.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of NMIBC microarray data from public databases (ArrayExpress, GEO).
  • Development of a predictive gene signature using LASSO regression.
  • Construction of a clinical nomogram incorporating gene signature and clinicopathological factors.
  • Experimental validation of SDCBP functions in vitro and in vivo.

Main Results

  • An 8-gene signature was developed and validated for predicting NMIBC recurrence.
  • Elevated ACTN4 and SDCBP levels were observed in recurrent NMIBC tissues.
  • A nomogram integrating SDCBP and clinical factors demonstrated superior predictive accuracy.
  • SDCBP promotes bladder cancer progression through angiogenesis, EMT, and metastasis.
  • Silencing SDCBP inhibited cell growth and key metabolic pathways.

Conclusions

  • The 8-gene signature is a promising tool for predicting NMIBC recurrence.
  • Targeting SDCBP presents a potential therapeutic strategy to delay bladder cancer relapse.
