Three LHPP gene-targeting co-expressed microRNAs (microRNA-765, microRNA-21, and microRNA-144) promote proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion, and are independent prognostic biomarkers in renal cell carcinomas patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the highly malignant tumors in the world. Global Cancer Statistics 2020 estimated that there were 179,368 deaths from kidney tumors. Therefore, exploring the prognostic biomarkers of RCC is of great significance for RCC patients. This study aims to explore the potential mechanism and prognostic value of phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP) gene-targeting co-expression microRNAs in RCC patients.

Methods

A total of 60 RCC patients were included. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used for LHPP, microRNA-765, microRNA-21, and microRNA-144 levels evaluation. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, invasion assay, and RNA
