Abstract:
Oncogene and tumour suppressor gene mutations cause heterogeneous cancer. About 10 million people die due to cancer annually. Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, predominantly in men. It is reported that ion channels are involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, tumour cell motility, invasion, and metastasis; hence, cancers are channelopathies. This study examined the expression of chloride ion channels ANO1, ANO2,ANO6,CLC3, and CLC4 in bladder cancerby using real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We collected 20 pairs of tumours and normal tissue samples from bladder cancer patients for the expression analysis. We observed significantly (P< 0.05) increased ANO1(3.12 folds), ANO2(10.97 folds), ANO6(35.90 folds), and CLC3(78.37 folds) mRNA expression and a decrease in CLC4(0.74 folds) expression in the tumours. Mutations inANO1, ANO2, ANO6 and CLC3 genes cause chloride ion channel changes that promote cancer. Understanding chloride channel molecular mechanisms require more research.
