The selected doses were found to induce significant in vitro and in vivo anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity in S-180 cells. Elevated levels of pro-apoptotic markers (p53, Bax/Bcl2 ratio, Cyt c, caspase-3, cleaved PARP) and reduced BrdU incorporation validated the anticancer activity of CaPtNPs. The antitumor activity was further confirmed in S-180 transplanted tumor bearing mice. Moreover, examination of the impact of sub-chronic exposure (three months) of CaPtNPs on the ultra-structural features of renal and hepatic tissue by TEM revealed no significant toxicological manifestation in these organs.

The prognosis of BLCA remains dismal, so early detection can have a significant impact on clinical outcomes. Numerous studies have shown that genes can alter the progression of tumors by regulating cell cycle, thus achieving targeted therapy. A comprehensive comparison analysis of expression profiles in BLCA datasets downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was conducted to identify common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using R packages. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of identified DEGs was performed, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was mapped using Cytoscape software. The expression of hub genes was validated in GEPIA2, cBioPortal, and ONCOMINE databases. The potential roles of the cell cycle genes (CCGs) in immunity were also explored. A total of 70 DEGs from GSE13507, GSE37815, and GSE52519 were identified commonly, including 23 up-regulated and 47 down-regulated genes. GSEA and PPI analysis revealed genes in the cell cycle pathway significantly enriched in tumor tissues, and the expression of 12 CCGs was up-regulated. Furthermore, significant differences of the CCGs expression were found in different immune subtypes of BLCA. The expression of CCGs was closely related to CD4+ T cell, memory B cell, eosinophil, monocyte, T helper cell, and many marker genes of immunomodulators. Abundance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were associated with patients' overall survival with BLCA. Increased CCG expression was correlated with better prognosis in BLCA patients, together with higher immune infiltration levels in CD4 T activated memory cell, and CD8 T central cell, respectively.
