Phospholipase C Beta 2 as a Key Regulator of Tumor Progression and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition via PI3K/AKT Signaling in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the most common form of invasive kidney cancer in adults. Among the components critical to cellular regulation is Phospholipase C Beta 2 (PLCB2), a member of the phospholipase C enzyme family. This enzyme plays a vital role in managing key cellular functions such as growth, differentiation, migration, and survival. Despite its significant importance, the specific expression patterns and molecular mechanisms of PLCB2 in the progression of RCC are not well understood. Methods: This investigation employed a combination of bioinformatics analyses, scRNA-seq, functional assays, transcriptome sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR), immunofluorescence, rescue experiments, and Western blotting to explore the reg
