YBX1 orchestrates LDHA-mediated metabolic reprogramming and NF-κB activation to drive clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression.

ABSTRACT: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is sometimes referred to as a "metabolic disease", as nearly all types of RCC are associated with the reprogramming of glucose and lipid metabolism. Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) plays a crucial regulatory role in the development and progression of various cancers. In the early stages of our study, we analyzed the YBX1 binding proteins in 786-O cells using IP-MS and found that YBX1 is involved in the glycolysis process of RCC. Subsequent experiments showed that YBX1 is an oncogene that is significantly upregulated in RCC. Functionally, YBX1 promotes glycolysis in RCC, and both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that YBX1 contributes to the malignant progression of RCC. The correlation between YBX1 and Lactate Dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression was predi
