BackgroundPim-1 is a serine-threonine kinase which promotes early transformation, cell proliferation and cell survival during tumorigenesis. Several studies have demonstrated that Pim-1 kinase play a role in different cancer types, however, the function of Pim-1 in bladder cancer is poorly understood.MethodsExpression and localization of Pim-1 in human normal and malignant bladder specimens were examined by Immunohistochemistry and Pim-1 staining score was compared with several clinicopathologic parameters. To further demonstrate the biological function of Pim-1 in bladder cancer, its expression was validated in five bladder cancer cell lines by western blot and immunohistochemistry analyses. Subsequent knockdown of Pim-1 was achieved by lentivirus encoding small interfering RNA, and the effect of Pim-1 on bladder cell survival and drug sensitivity were further assessed by colony formation and cell proliferation assays.ResultsWhen compared with normal epithelium, Pim-1 was overexpressed in bladder cancer epithelium, and the expression level was higher in invasive bladder cancer than Non-invasive bladder cancer specimens. Pim-1 was also detected in all the bladder cancer cell lines examined in our study. Moreover, the knockdown of Pim-1 significantly inhibited bladder cancer cell growth and also sensitized cells to chemotherapeutic drugsin vitro.ConclusionsOur results in this study suggest that Pim-1 may play a role in bladder cancer initiation and progression. Since Pim-1 is also involved in bladder cancer cell survival and drug resistance, Pim-1 is a potential candidate for targeted therapy in bladder cancer.
