Evaluation of Argonaute protein as a predictive marker for human clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our present study clarify that the aberrant expression of Argonaute in human RCC is possibly involved with tumorigenesis and development, and the Argonaute protein could act as a potential biomarker for prognosis assessment of renal cancer. Related mechanism is worthy of further investigation.
