Expression and prognostic value of SULT1A2 in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Sulfotransferase Family 1A Member 2 (SULT1A2) is a protein coding gene. Several studies have reported that SULT1A2 may have a chemical carcinogenic effect if expressed as a functional protein. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and potential role of SULT1A2 in bladder cancer (BC). Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus databases were used to analyze SULT1A2 expression in BC. In addition, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analyses were performed to detect SULT1A2 expression in BC cells and tissues. Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed on 100 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded BC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal bladder tissues (ANBTs) to verify SULT1A2 expression and determine the clinical significance of
