Key sunitinib-related biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) contributed to 403,262 new cases worldwide in 2018, which constitutes 2.2% of global cancer, nevertheless, sunitinib, one of the major targeted therapeutic agent for RCC, often developed invalid due to resistance. Emerging evidences suggested sunitinib can impact tumor environment which has been proven to be a vital factor for tumor progression.

Methods

In the present study, we used ssGSEA to extract the immune infiltrating abundance of clear cell RCC (ccRCC) and normal control samples from GSE65615, TCGA, and GTEx; key immune cells were determined by Student's t-test and univariable Cox analysis. Co-expression network combined with differentially expressed analysis was then applied to derive key immune-related genes for ccRCC, followed
