Summary

Cysteine-rich 61 (Cyr61), a member of "CCN" family, regulates cell migration, proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis, cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, survival, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix production. Evidences show strong correlations of aberrant Cyr61 expression in cancers of numerous organs and tissues. However, the expression and effect of Cyr61 in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), the most common urinary tract cancer in Taiwan, remains undiscovered. Based on previous studies of Cyr61 in other cancer, the investigators hypothesize that Cyr61 may mediate TCC cell proliferation and migration; and associated with disease progression and recurrent. Thus the investigators conduct this project to study the role of Cyr61 in the pathogenesis of TCC. The investigators will retrospectively review medical history of patients with TCC treated at our institutes. Cyr61 immunohistochemical stain of their surgical samples will be performed. The correlation of Cyr61 expression of TCC and patients' clinical courses will be investigated.
