Forkhead box J1 expression is upregulated and correlated with prognosis in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

The forkhead box (FOX) family of transcription factors are considered to have a role in tumorigenesis. FOXJ1 is a member of the FOX family; however, its function in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has remained to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study evaluated the expression of FOXJ1 in human clear cell RCC and the effect of FOXJ1 on the proliferative ability of RCC cells.

Prognostic value of T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 in prostate cancer.

Background: Optimal treatment for prostate cancer remains a challenge worldwide. Recently, T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) has been implicated in tumor biology but its contribution prostate cancer remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TIM-3 as a prognostic marker in patients with prostate cancer.
