Comparison of the Fatty Acid Metabolism Pathway in Pan-Renal Cell Carcinoma: Evidence from Bioinformatics.

This study analyzed and compared the potential role of fatty acid metabolism pathways in three subtypes of renal cell carcinoma. Biological pathways that were abnormally up- and downregulated were identified through gene set variation analysis in the subtypes. Abnormal downregulation of the fatty acid metabolism pathway occurred in all three renal cell carcinoma subtypes.

Identification of CPT1A as a Prognostic Biomarker and Potential Therapeutic Target for Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma and Establishment of a Risk Signature of CPT1A-Related Genes.

This study is aimed at investigating the expression, clinical significance, and biological role of CPT1A in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). We used the TCGA database and clinical pathology of tissue specimens to study the expression of CPT1A in KIRC. The expression of CPT1A in the kidney cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in the normal tissue.

Tripartite-motif family genes associated with cancer stem cells affect tumor progression and can assist in the clinical prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

Ubiquitination is presently a hot topic in the field of oncology. The tripartite-motif (TRIM) family of proteins represents one of the largest classes of putative single protein RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligases, which play an essential role in the ubiquitination of proteins in the body. At the same time, research related to cancer stem cells (CSCs) is increasing in popularity in the field of oncology.

Genetic alteration and clinical significance of SUMOylation regulators in multiple cancer types.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic variation, gene expression differences, and clinical significance of SUMOylation regulators in pan-cancers. Based on previous studies, we gained a better understanding of the biological process of SUMOylation and the status of current research. In the present study, we employed a wide range of bioinformatics methods.

A New Prognostic Risk Model Based on PPAR Pathway-Related Genes in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

Objective: This study is aimed at using genes related to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway to establish a prognostic risk model in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC).

Methods: For this study, we first found the PPAR pathway-related genes on the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) website and found the KIRC mRNA expression data and clinical data through TCGA database. Subsequently, we used R language and multiple R language expansion packages to analyze the expression, hazard ratio analysis, and coexpression analysis of PPAR pathway-related genes in KIRC.

TRIM33 Overexpression Inhibits the Progression of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma In Vivo and In Vitro.

Purpose: To evaluate the expression of tripartite motif-containing 33 (TRIM33) in ccRCC tissues and explore the biological effect of TRIM33 on the progress of ccRCC.

Method: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to examine the mRNA expression levels of TRIM33 in ccRCC tissues and its clinical relevance. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to evaluate its expression in ccRCC tissues obtained from our hospital.

Porcupine Inhibitor LGK974 Downregulates the Wnt Signaling Pathway and Inhibits Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Targeted therapy for kidney cancer has achieved significant clinical results. However, because most patients who use targeted therapy will develop drug resistance, we still need to constantly explore new therapeutic targets. Although porcupine (PORCN) as a palmitoyltransferase plays a crucial role in the activation and secretion of Wnt proteins and affects the activity of the Wnt signaling pathway, little is known about the role of PORCN in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Screening and Identification of Key Biomarkers for Bladder Cancer: A Study Based on TCGA and GEO Data.

Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a common malignant cancer, and it is the most common genitourinary cancer in the world. The recurrence rate is the highest of all cancers, and the treatment of BLCA has only slightly improved over the past 30 years. Genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development and progression of BLCA.
