HBXIP accelerates glycolysis and promotes cancer angiogenesis via AKT/mTOR pathway in bladder cancer

Abnormal metabolism and uncontrolled angiogenesis are two important characteristics of malignant tumors. Although HBXIP is known to be associated with a poor prognosis for bladder cancer (BC), its effects on glycolysis and angiogenesis in BC have not been investigated. BC prognosis and relative gene expression of HBXIP were analyzed using the GEPIA, UALCAN, and STRING databases. BC cell angiogenesis and glycolysis were assessed by vasculogenic...
