Comprehensive Gene Expression Analyses of Immunohistochemically Defined Subgroups of Muscle-Invasive Urinary Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: A number of urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma (UB UC) mRNA-based classification systems have been reported. It also has been observed that treatment response and prognosis are different for each molecular subtype. In this study, cytokeratin (CK)5/6 and CK20 immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed, and IHC-based subgroup classification was applied. UB UC was classified into CK5/6 single-positive (SP), CK20 SP, double-positive (DP) and double-negative (DN) subgroups, and transcriptional analysis was performed. The results of gene ontology (GO) terms and functional analysis using differentially expressed genes indicate that, CK5/6 SP and DP subgroups were enriched in cell migration, immune activation, interleukin 6-Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (IL6-JAK-
