Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common genitourinary malignancy with high mortality. Recent findings suggest that the succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit A (SDHA) is lowly expressed in many types of cancers and involved in tumorigenesis. However, the potential regulatory roles and molecular mechanisms by which SDHA affects the development and progression of ccRCC remain largely unknown.

Background: The effect of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) can regulate gene expression by competitively binding microRNAs. Fascin-1 (FSCN1) plays an important role in the regulation of cellular migration and invasion during tumor progression, but how its regulatory mechanism works through the ceRNA effect is still unclear in bladder cancer (BLCA).

Methods: The role of fascin-1, miR-200b, and ZEB1-AS1 in BLCA was investigated in vitro and in vivo.

In light of the increasing incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), its molecular mechanisms have been comprehensively explored in numerous recent studies. However, few studies focus on the influence of multi-factor interactions during the occurrence and development of RCC. This study aims to investigate the quantitative global proteome and the changes in lysine succinylation in related proteins, seeking to facilitate a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying RCC.

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a crucial role in the signaling network that controls cellular invasion and motility capability during tumor development. To investigate whether fascin1 plays a crucial role in TGF-β1-facilitated invasion and migration of kidney cancer cells (KCC), real-time PCR and western blotting were used to test the fascin1 expression after TGF-β1 treatment (10 ng/ml) in 769-P and OSRC cells. Fascin1 was silenced using the small interfering RNA (siRNA) technique.
