TAZ is overexpressed in bladder cancer cell lines and tissues. a-b Detection of TAZ expression in human bladder cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues at the mRNA and protein levels (cohort 1, n = 20). c. TAZ expression levels in bladder cancer tissue and normal tissue in the TCGA database. d-e mRNA and protein expression levels of TAZ in SV-HUC-1 cells and different bladder cancer cell lines. f. The expression levels of TAZ in bladder cancer tissue specimens in cohort 2 were determined by IHC (n = 30). TAZ expression was significantly upregulated in bladder cancer tissue. Scale bar: 200 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs. the control group
