CENPW knockdown inhibits progression of bladder cancer through inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the expression and role of Centromere protein W (CENPW) in bladder cancer (BLCA), as well as its potential mechanistic impact on the progression of BLCA. Methods: In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the mRNA expression level of CENPW in BLCA tissues and adjacent normal tissues using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Additionally, we investigated the association between CENPW expression and patient prognosis. Furthermore, we performed in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess the impact of CENPW knockdown on various tumor biological phenotypes in BLCA. Finally, we conducted an analysis to elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for th
