Abstract excerpt
Bladder cancer (BC), a leading urogenital malignancy with high mortality, lacks effective early biomarkers. Connexin 43 (Cx43), encoded by GJA1, regulates tumor growth via protein interactions and phosphorylation. While dysregulated in BC, Cx43's downstream regulatory pathways remain unclear. Elucidating these mechanisms is crucial for identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. qRT-PCR measured Cx43...
