Inflammatory cytokines may be a critical component of epithelial cancer progression. We
examined the role of interleukin (IL)-5 in the migration of bladder cancer cells. The …

The role of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-20 (IL-20) has not yet been studied in cancer
biology. Here, we demonstrated up-regulation of both IL-20 and IL-20R1 in muscle-invasive …

We used gene expression profiling to identify inflammatory cytokines that correlate with
bladder cancer development. Gene expression profiles of the tissue samples were …

Interleukin (IL)-28A, also called IFN-λ2, is a member of the classIIcytokine family and has
demonstrated anti-proliferative and anti-viral signals. The present study demonstrated …

Abstract Interleukin-7 (IL-7) plays a pivotal role in the development and survival of
lymphocytes, but its role in cancer cell responses remains unexplained. In this study, IL-7 …

Muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is characterized by a highly complex immune
environment, which is not well understood. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is generated and secreted by …

Purpose Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was found to be aberrantly expressed in bladder cancer,
inducing some genes expression and facilitating tumor progression. Recent data suggest …

Abstract Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-8 is an important mediator of angiogenesis, tumorigenicity,
and metastasis in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. Nuclear factor κB (NF …

Interleukin‐6, a multifunctional cytokine, contributes to tumor cell proliferation and
differentiation. However, the biological mechanisms that are affected by the expression of …

Abstract Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is mitogenic and chemotactic for endothelial cells. Within a
neoplasm, IL-8 is secreted by inflammatory and neoplastic cells. The highly tumorigenic and …
