ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between ?hCG genes expression and the clinicobiological behavior of bladder cancer. Methods RT-PCR method combined with restriction endonuclease analysis was adopted to detect the expressions of ?hCG mRNA and its subtypes in 37 cases of bladder cancer tissues. Results 26 of 37 cancer tissues (70%) were positive for ?hCG mRNA expression. The positive rate was higher in invasive tumor (T 2~T 4,13/14) compared with that in superficial tumor (Ta~T 1,13/23) ( P 0.05). Most of superficial tumors only expressed ?7 gene, while invasive tumor expressed ?7,?5, ?3, or ?8 . Conclusions The positive rate of ?hCG mRNA expression is related to tumor stage. The expression of hCG gene ?5, ?3 or ?8 in addition to ?7 indicates a worse differentiated or advanced bladder tumor.
