KHSRP knockdown inhibits papillary renal cell carcinoma progression and sensitizes to gemcitabine.

ABSTRACT: Patients diagnosed with papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) exhibit a high rate of clinical metastasis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. In this study, KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KHSRP) participated in pRCC progression and was associated with metastasis. It was positively correlated with the hallmark of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. KHSRP inhibition effectively alleviated the cellular function of migration and invasion. Additionally, KHSRP knockdown inhibited the proliferative ability of pRCC cells. A pharmaceutical screening was based on the KHSRP protein structure. Gemcitabine (Gem) decreased KHSRP expression. UIO-66@Gem@si-KHSRP (UGS) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared for targeted delivery and applied in both in vitro and in vivo exp
