Comprehensive analysis of the expression, prognosis and biological significance of FSCN family in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Fascin (FSCN) is an actin-binding protein that serves a critical role in cell migration and invasion, contributing to tumor metastasis. However, there is little known about the function of FSCN family in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). The present study used the UALCAN, gene expression profiling interactive analysis, The Cancer Genome Atlas, cBioPortal, STRING and The Tumor Immune Estimation Resource databases to investigate the transcription level, genetic alteration and biological function of FSCNs in KIRC and their association with the prognosis value and immune cell infiltration in patients with KIRC. Results showed that the expression of FSCN1 and FSCN3 was markedly upregulated in patients with KIRC, while the expression of FSCN2 showed an opposite trend, which was th
