Purpose: SKP2 and CKS1 promote aggressive tumor behavior via the regulation of p27 degradation. Our previous DNA microarray analysis of human urothelial carcinoma and normal urothelial epithelium showed that in urothelial carcinoma the 2 most highly up-regulated genes among SKP2-p27 interaction related genes are SKP2 (4.7-fold) and CKS1 (2.2-fold). We hypothesized that SKP2 and CKS1 gene expression is associated with urothelial carcinoma invasiveness and prognosis.Materials and Methods: A total of 84 urothelial carcinoma specimens from patients with bladder (71) and upper urinary tract (13) cancer were examined by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical. study.Results: Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction showed that the average mRNA expression level of SKP2 and CKS1 significantly correlated with tumor stage, that is superficial vs invasive urothelial carcinoma (SKP2 and CKS1, p
