In particular, overexpression of TXNIP attenuates CXCL12-induced bladder carcinogenesis, while knockout of TXNIP enhances CXCR4 expression in bladder carcinogenesis in urothelial cells [19], indicating an interaction may exist between TXNIP and CXCR4. The gene discussed is TXNIP; the disease is urogenital neoplasm.
