Core Tip
Core Tip: The scratch wound healing assay and transwell assay showed significantly improved cellular migration in the Transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1 (TM9SF1) overexpression group. TM9SF1 silencing inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer (BC) cells. TM9SF1 can be used as a therapeutic molecular target. The importance of TM9SF1 as an oncogene and its use as a therapeutic target would ultimately depend on the prevalence of the mutation in BC tissues and replication of in vitro activity in tumour tissue.
