Abstract

Psoriasin, otherwise known as S100A7, is a member of the S100 protein family. With the key function of binding calcium, it is able to regulate a range of cellular functions. Altered Psoriasin expression is associated with poor clinical outcomes in several solid cancers. The present study aimed to examine the implication of Psoriasin in bladder cancer (BC). Expression of Psoriasin was examined in BC cell lines using PCR. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of Psoriasin was performed on a bladder disease spectrum tissue array. Plasmids were constructed to effectively knockdown and overexpress Psoriasin in BC cells and further utilized for in vitro BC cellular function assays. Association between Psoriasin expression and survival of patients with BC was evaluated using Kaplan‑Meier survival analysis. Psoriasin was revealed to be expressed by both bladder epithelia and cancer cells as determined by IHC. Increased expression of Psoriasin was significantly correlated with a poor overall BC patient survival. Overexpression of Psoriasin in the EJ138 cell line increased cellular proliferation, adhesion and invasion, whereas knockdown exhibited the opposite effect on cellular functions in RT112 cells. Matrix metalloprotease (MMP)9 appeared to be the most affected of the three MMPs examined in these two BC cell lines. The analysis revealed a positive correlation in BC tumours between Psoriasin and MMP9. Overall, high Psoriasin expression was correlated with poor overall survival in BC patients and promoted invasiveness of BC cells via upregulation of MMPs. Psoriasin possesses certain prognostic and therapeutic potential in BC which requires further exploration.
