Background: Aberrant interplay between epigenetic reprogramming and metabolic rewiring events contributes to bladder cancer progression and metastasis. How the deacetylase Sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) regulates glycolysis and lactate secretion in bladder cancer remains poorly defined. We thus aimed to study the biological functions of SIRT6 in bladder cancer.

Methods: The patients were divided into DVT group and non DVT group according to whether there was deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity. The differences in the levels of D-D, FIB, FDP and platelets between the two groups were analyzed and compared.
A novel glycoprotein assay was developed by integrating the hairpin aptamer (H-APT)-mediated glycoprotein recognition and the reactive oxygen species-sensitive microcapsule (ROS-MC)-induced signal amplification. The analyzing process begins with the transfer of the target glycoprotein to a chlorin e6 (Ce6)-labeled DNA sequence via H-APT-mediated DNA displacement. Subsequently, the Ce6-labeled DNA was used to induce the disassembly of fluorophore-loaded ROS-MC under 650-nm light irradiation.
