Expression of TMEM40 in bladder cancer and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters.

Transmembrane protein 40 (TMEM40) is a 23-kDa protein in cell membrane. There is no report that TMEM40 is associated with cancer. However, our study found that TMEM40 was high expressed in bladder cancer tissues.

Low expression of PinX1 is associated with malignant behavior in basal-like breast cancer.

Human Pinx1 protein, associated with shelterin proteins, is widely revealed as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor. Growing evidence has manifested the deregulation of PinX1 in distinct cancers. Nonetheless, the loss status of PinX1 and its diagnostic, prognostic and clinicopathological significance in Basal-like breast cancer are still unclear.
