RBCK1 promotes p53 degradation via ubiquitination in renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of adult malignancies, and the incidence of RCC continues to rise worldwide. Although RCC can be treated with surgery at an early stages, the five-year survival rates have been observed to decline dramatically in patients with advanced disease. Most patients with RCC treated with cytotoxic or targeted drugs will develop resistance at some point during therapy. Thus, it is necessary to identify novel therapeutic targets for RCC. Here, we found that RANBP2-type and C3HC4-type zinc finger-containing 1 (RBCK1) expression was upregulated in human RCC samples. Analysis of multiple public databases revealed the correlation between RBCK1 expression and poor prognosis in RCC patients. Subsequently, we performed RBCK1 depletion experiments in
