SCGN recruits macrophages by regulating chemokine secretion in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Immunotherapy is considered to be one of the most promising curative modalities for cancer, and the effectiveness of immunotherapy depends on the abundance of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Immunotherapy tends to be more effective in "hot tumors" characterized by a high abundant immune cells. Our previous studies found that secretagogin (SCGN) showed intranuclear aggregation in the early stages of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) development. However, with tumor progression and distant metastasis of the ccRCC, the expression of SCGN is gradually absent. In this study, we found that SCGN did not affect the malignant phenotype of cancer cells, but could regulate cytokine/chemokine secretion and immune cell migration by performing gene function assays and RNA-seq ana
