ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 overexpression correlates with prognosis and immune cell infiltration in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the role of ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The mRNA expression of ADAM12 was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the protein expression level of ADAM12 in renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines was detected by Western blot analysis. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test, logistic regression analysis, Cox regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to assess the relationship between the clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of ccRCC patients and ADAM12 expression. The miRNAs and lncRNAs associated with ADAM12 were predicted, and a ceRNA network was constructed using the Starbase database. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and
