Popis: Abstract Background FTO is known to be associated with body mass and obesity in humans and its over-expression affects the energy metabolism of cancer cells. The aim of the present study is to investigate the biological role of FTO in human bladder urothelial carcinoma. Methods PCR and western blotting are used to measure the levels of FTO in both tissues and cell lines (5637, T24, TCCSUP) of human bladder urothelial carcinoma. Raw RNA-Sequencing reads and the corresponding clinical information for bladder urothelial carcinoma are downloaded from TCGA. Cell Counting Kit-8 and wound healing assays are used to explore the effect of FTO on proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells. Results The expression of FTO mRNA in bladder urothelial carcinoma decreases significantly compared with the normal controls from both the data of real-time PCR (p
