Abstract:Objective To detect the protein expressions of the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and high mobility group protein A2 (HMGA2) in the bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) tissues and to investigate their clinical significance. Methods From January 2010 to June 2012, 89 cases of BUC cancer tissues and 45 cases of normal bladder tissues were collected from Department of Urology Surgery of Baoji Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University. The immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the protein expression of DNMT1 and HMGA2 in each tissue. In addition, the relationship between the protein expression of DNMT1/HMGA2 and the clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis was analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of DNMT1 in BUC cancer tissues and normal bladder tissues was 70.79% (63/89) and 6.67% (3/45), respectively (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of HMGA2 in BUC cancer tissues and the normal bladder tissues was 65.17% (58/89) and 2.22% (1/45), respectively (P < 0.05). In BUC cancer tissues, the DNMT1 protein expression was correlated with the tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis status and the clinical stages (P < 0.05), while the HMGA2 protein expression was correlated with the tumor diameter, differentiation grades and the clinical stages (P < 0.05). The DNMT1-positive patients' survival time was much shorter than the DNMT1-negative patients (P < 0.05), while the HMGA2-positive patients' survival time was much shorter than the HMGA2-negative patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion In BUC cancer tissues, the DNMT1 and HMGA2 are both highly expressed, which may play critical roles in the tumor genesis and the development of BUC. DNMT1 and HMGA2 may serve as biomarkers for the prognosis and the therapy of BUC.
