TGFB1I1 promotes cell proliferation and migration in urothelial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is common cancer worldwide with a high prevalence in Taiwan, especially in the upper urinary tract, including the renal pelvis and ureter, also classifying as upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. Here, we aim to find a representative prognostic marker that strongly correlates to this type of carcinoma. Transforming growth factor beta-1-induced transcript 1 (TGFB1I1) is a cofactor of cellular TGF-β1 and interacts with various nuclear receptors. The previous study showed that TGFB1I1 promotes focal adhesion formation, contributing to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with actin cytoskeleton and vimentin through TGFB1I1 regulation. We aim to reveal the role of TGFB1I1 in the tumorigenesis of UC. In silico and clinicopathological data of upper urinary t
