Increased level of serum leucine-rich-alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Currently, no useful serum markers exist for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), making early detection challenging as diagnosis relies solely on imaging tests. Radiation exposure is also a concern due to... (Source: BMC Urology)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 537: CD44 Expression in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) Correlates with Tumor Grade and Patient Survival and Is Affected by Gene Methylation
rmpetzoglou Clear cell RCC (ccRCC) represents the most common type of kidney cancer, with surgery being the only potential curative treatment. Almost one-third of ccRCC patients relapse either locally or as cases of distant metastases. Several biomarkers have been employed in order to separate ccRCC patients with better prognosis or to predict treatment outcomes, with limited results. CD44 is a membrane glycoprotein with multiple roles in normal development but also cancer. Recently, the CD44 standard isoform has been implicated in tumor progression and the metastasis cascade through microenvironment interactions. Here...

A First-in-Human Phase 1 Study of a Tumor-Directed RNA-Interference Drug against HIF2 α in Patients with Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: ARO-HIF2 downregulated HIF2α in advanced ccRCC-inhibiting tumor growth in a subset of subjects. Further development was hampered by off-target neurotoxicity and low response rate. This study provides proof of concept that siRNA can target tumors in a specific manner.PMID:38652038 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3029 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of KIF20A as a prognosis biomarker for clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Mar 31;70(3):116-124. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.3.17.ABSTRACTIt has been shown that kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) is involved in the development of several cancers. However, research on clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and KIF20A is still exploratory. The current research was carried out to determine whether KIF20A expression has any prognosis value in ccRCC. Data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to validate the KIF20A mRNA expression and to perform clinicopathological analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used in evaluatin...

The β3-AR agonist BRL37344 ameliorates the main symptoms of X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in the mouse model of the disease
J Cell Mol Med. 2024 Apr;28(8):e18301. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18301.ABSTRACTX-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (X-NDI) is a rare congenital disease caused by inactivating mutations of the vasopressin type-2 receptor (AVPR2), characterized by impaired renal concentrating ability, dramatic polyuria, polydipsia and risk of dehydration. The disease, which still lacks a cure, could benefit from the pharmacologic stimulation of other GPCRs, activating the cAMP-intracellular pathway in the kidney cells expressing the AVPR2. On the basis of our previous studies, we here hypothesized that the β3-adrenergic receptor could be such a...
