Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of kidney cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. The histone H3 lysine 36 methyltransferase SET-domain-containing 2 (SETD2) has been reported to be expressed at low levels and frequently mutated in ccRCC. Ferroptosis, a form of death distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, has been reported in recent years in renal cancer.

Background: Previous studies have identified MYBL1 as a cancer-promoting molecule in numerous types of cancer. Nevertheless, the role of MYBL in renal cancer remains unclear.

Methods: Genomic and clinical data of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was get from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

RBM4 has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene in cancers, including lung cancer, colon cancer and gastric cancer. However, the role of RBM4 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the expression and biological function of RBM4 in ccRCC.

Background: F-box proteins play important roles in cell cycle and tumorigenesis. However, its prognostic value and molecular function in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. In this study, we established a survival model to evaluate the prognosis of patients with ccRCC using the F-box gene signature and investigated the function of FBXL6 in ccRCC.

Article Synopsis
  • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly clear cell RCC (ccRCC), was the focus of a study analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to understand how the tumor microenvironment (TME) connects with clinical outcomes and immunotherapy responses.
  • Researchers identified three distinct differentiation subsets of ccRCC cells and categorized ccRCC samples into four molecular subtypes based on differentiation-related genes (DRGs), which correlated with patient prognosis and immune checkpoint gene expression.
  • The study developed a prognostic risk signature (PRS) and an easy-to-use nomogram based on the PRS, enabling more accurate predictions of ccRCC patient outcomes and emphasizing the importance of TME evolution in treatment responses.

Bladder cancer (BCa) is the most costly solid tumor owing to its high recurrence. Relapsed cancer is known to acquire chemoresistant features after standard intravesical chemotherapy. This cancer state is vulnerable to ferroptosis, which occurs when lipid peroxides generated by iron metabolism accumulate to lethal levels.

Background: The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) OTUD6B antisense RNA 1 (OTUD6B-AS1) is oriented in an antisense direction to the protein-coding gene OTUD6B on the opposite DNA strand. TCGA database data show that the expression of the lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 is downregulated and that OTUD6B-AS1 acts as an antioncogene in a variety of tumors. However, the expression and biological functions of the lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 are still unknown in tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

: This study investigated the biological function of the gene MAN1C1 α-mannosidase in renal cell carcinoma. It has been reported that MAN1C1 is probably a potential tumor suppressor gene in Wilms. However, the role of MAN1C1 in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has not been reported.
