Comprehensive behavioural assessment of TERT in bladder cancer
Background
Telomerase activity plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Thus, telomerase activation through the interplay of mutations and epigenetic alterations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter may provide further insight into bladder cancer induction and progression.
Methods
In this study 100 bladder tumour tissues were selected, and four molecular signatures were analysed: THOR methylation status, TERT promotor mutation, telomere length, and TERT expression.
Results
In our study, 88% of bladder cancer patients had an hypermethylation of the THOR region and 60% had mutations in the TERT promoter region. TERT promoter methylation was observed in all stages and grades of bladder cancer. While, TERT promoter mutations were detected in advanced stages and grades. In our cohort, high levels of TERT expression and long telomeres have been found in noninvasive cases of bladder cancer, with a significant association between TERT expression and Telomere length. Interestingly, patients with low TERT expression and cases with long telomeres had significantly longer Disease-free survival and overall survival.
Conclusion
The methylation and mutations occurring in the TERT promoter are implicated in bladder carcinogenesis, offering added prognostic and supplying novel insight into telomere biology in cancer.
期刊介绍:
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations is the official journal of the Society of Urologic Oncology. The journal publishes practical, timely, and relevant clinical and basic science research articles which address any aspect of urologic oncology. Each issue comprises original research, news and topics, survey articles providing short commentaries on other important articles in the urologic oncology literature, and reviews including an in-depth Seminar examining a specific clinical dilemma. The journal periodically publishes supplement issues devoted to areas of current interest to the urologic oncology community. Articles published are of interest to researchers and the clinicians involved in the practice of urologic oncology including urologists, oncologists, and radiologists.
