| Bioinformatic identification of FGF, p38-MAPK, and calcium signaling pathways associated with carcinoma in situ in the urinary bladder
BMC Cancer, 2008, 8:37 (31 January 2008)
Researchers from the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology, University of Aarhus, Denmark have developed a new way to predict the presence or absence of carcinoma in situ (CIS) in patients diagnosed with certain types of bladder cancer. Instead of focusing on the best individual markers of bladder cancer, they used Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) to study the involvement of a panel of transcription factors within canonical signaling pathways. IPA identified four signaling pathways where the transcription factors behaved coherently, indicating the whole pathway was affected. Three of these identified pathways were able to classify tissue samples according to CIS status significantly.
