Abstract

Urologic cancers, with bladder cancer as a pivotal subtype, pose substantial challenges to global health, necessitating a profound understanding of their molecular underpinnings. This article explores recent genomic research, with a focus on transitional cell carcinoma, the primary histological form of transitional cell carcinoma, aiming to elucidate the intricate molecular processes that underlie the onset and advancement of disease. Leveraging advanced genomic and transcriptomic analyses such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and molecular subtyping techniques, this review delves into the diverse genetic and molecular subtypes inherent in bladder cancer. It emphasizes the critical role of molecular subtyping in guiding treatment decisions and refining patient stratification for precision medicine approaches. Furthermore, the review examines emerging diagnostic biomarkers such as methylation markers and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites, highlighting their potential in enabling early detection and targeted therapies. Their integration promises to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic monitoring in bladder cancer patients. Collaboration among multidisciplinary teams comprising clinicians, researchers, and bioinformaticians is paramount for unraveling the molecular complexities of urologic cancers and advancing personalized cancer care. This thorough review seeks to offer a detailed examination of the existing understanding on urologic oncology, offering valuable insights into the molecular intricacies of urothelial carcinoma and while also laying the groundwork for future research directions aimed at optimizing patient outcomes globally.

Abstract

The reprogramming of energy metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer and is crucial for tumor progression. Altered aerobic glycolysis is a well-known characteristic of cancer cell metabolism. In the present study, the expression profiles of key metabolic genes (HK2, PFKM, and PKM2) were assessed in the breast cancer cohort of Pakistan using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and IHC. Expression patterns were correlated with molecular subtypes and clinical parameters in the patients. A significant upregulation of key glycolytic genes was observed in tumor samples in comparison to their adjacent controls (p < 0.0001). The expression of the studied glycolytic genes was significantly increased in late clinical stages, positive nodal involvement, and distant metastasis (p < 0.05). HK2 and PKM2 were found to be upregulated in luminal B, whereas PFKM was overexpressed in the luminal A subtype of breast cancer. The genes were positively correlated with the proliferation marker Ki67 (p < 0.001). Moreover, moderate positive linear correlations between HK2 and PKM2 (r = 0.476), HK2 and PFKM (r = 0.473), and PKM2 and PFKM (r = 0.501) were also observed (p < 0.01). These findings validate that the key regulatory genes in glycolysis can serve as potential biomarkers and/or molecular targets for breast cancer management. However, the clinical significance of these molecules needs to be further validated through in vitro and in vivo experiments.
