ESM1 promote proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis via Akt/mTOR and Ras pathway in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The most common types of renal carcinoma is kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). ESM1 is a secreted protein, which involved in, lipids and glucose metabolism, but their role in angiogenesis is contradictory in different disease, especially in KIRC. Bioinformatic analysis confirmed the ESM1 expression and prognosis in KIRC. IHC staining revealed protein expression of ESM1 in KIRC samples. The role of ESM1 in KIRC proliferation and migration were tested by MTT, EdU, transwell analysis. The role of its paracrine function in KIRC angiogenesis was tested by functional experiments. The downstream molecular mechanism of ESM1 were further elucidated by WB and functional experiments. ESM1 was significantly increased in KIRC with prognostic significance. ESM1 knockdown inhibited the invasivenes
