Potential involvement of cuproptosis induced by m6A-modified autophagy gene ATG10 in KICH : Cuproptosis induced by m6A-modified ATG10 in KICH.

ABSTRACT: Kidney Chromophobe (KICH) is the third most prevalent renal malignancy, with research challenges due to a dearth of cell lines and clinical samples. There is no specific treatment regimen tailored exclusively for KICH. This study employed gene expression analysis, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Spearman's correlation, immune cell infiltration assessment, and molecular network construction to investigate the autophagy gene ATG10 in KICH. ATG10 was uniquely downregulated in KICH, predominantly regulated by RNA m6A methylation. This downregulation correlated with patient survival, suggesting a potential tumor-regulatory role. ATG10's involvement in the protein lipidation pathway, essential for cuproptosis, was identified. B cells and CD8 + T cells were key immune cells in KICH tumorigenesis asso
