Abnormal gene expression profile reveals the common key signatures associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis

H. J. Zhang, Sun, Z. Q., Qian, W. Q., and Sheng, L., “Abnormal gene expression profile reveals the common key signatures associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis”, vol. 14, pp. 2216-2224, 2015.

The aims of this study were to identify the common gene signatures of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), and to expand the respective protein-protein interaction networks associated with CCRCC regulation. For the latter, we utilized multiple gene expression data sets from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), with which we could analyze the aberrant gene expression patterns at the transcriptome level that distinguish cancer from normal samples.

Predictive role of vascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms in the survival of renal cell carcinoma patients

Y. - Q. Yang and Chen, J., “Predictive role of vascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms in the survival of renal cell carcinoma patients”, vol. 13, pp. 5011-5017, 2014.

We conducted a study to investigate the possible role of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms -2578C/A, -1154G/A and -634C/G and clinical factors in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) prognosis in a cohort of 336 RCC cases. A total of 336 patients with RCC were recruited from PLA General Hospital between January 2004 and December 2005. All patients were followed up until December 2010, and no patient was lost to follow-up. The follow-up time of this study was 60 months. At the time of analysis, a total of 210 died during the follow-up.

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the left maxillary sinus

Y. - F. He, Chen, J., Xu, W. - Q., Ji, C. - S., Du, J. - P., Luo, H. - Q., and Hu, B., “Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the left maxillary sinus”, vol. 13. pp. 7465-7469, 2014.

Metastatic tumors in the paranasal sinuses are very rare. The origin of metastatic tumors in the paranasal sinuses is often renal cancer. Renal cell carcinomas are known for their tendency for early metastasis, and symptoms due to the metastatic lesion may be the only initial manifestation. In this paper, we deal with the case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with a mass in the left maxillary region. The presence of a primary renal cell carcinoma was recognized only after surgical removal of the metastatic tumor.

Investigating paraoxonase-1 gene Q192R and L55M polymorphism in patients with renal cell cancer

O. A. Uyar, Kara, M., Erol, D., Ardicoglu, A., and Yüce, H., “Investigating paraoxonase-1 gene Q192R and L55M polymorphism in patients with renal cell cancer”, vol. 10, pp. 133-139, 2011.

Increased oxidative stress can help promote carcinogenesis, including development of renal cell carcinoma. The enzyme protects low-density lipoproteins from oxidation and can be a factor in this process. PON1 Q192R and L55M paraoxonase gene polymorphisms were assessed in 60 renal cell carcinoma patients and 60 healthy controls. Genotypes were examined by PCR; the restriction enzyme AlwI was used to examine the Q192R polymorphism and Hsp92II for the L55M polymorphism. Significant differences in the PON1 Q192R polymorphism were found between patients and controls.
