PDLIM2 Suppression Inhibit Proliferation and Metastasis in Kidney Cancer.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the expression of PDLIM2 in human kidney cancer cell lines from primary or metastatic origins and found that PDLIM2 expression was highly elevated in metastatic kidney cancers. We evaluated the effect of PDLIM2 inhibition by RNA interference method. PDLIM2 knockdown showed the decreased proliferation and metastatic character in human metastatic kidney cancer cells. By repeated round of orthotopic injection of RenCa mouse kidney cancer cell line, we obtained metastatic prone mouse kidney cancer cell lines. PDLIM2 expression was highly expressed in these metastatic prone cells comparing parental cells. In addition, we evaluated the in vivo efficacy of PDLIM2 knockout on the tumor formation and metastasis of kidney cancer cells using a PDLIM2 knockout mice. The experimental metas
