Cancer&Entry Information

Cancer Name	clear cell renal cell carcinoma
ICD-0-3	C64.9
Methods	qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay etc.
Sample	clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissues, cell lines (HK-2, 786-O and ACHN)
Expression Pattern	up-regulated
Function Description	CCAT2 expression was markedly higher in ccRCC cell lines and tissues, being positively associated with tumor size and tumor stage in ccRCC patients. Patients with higher CCAT2 expression had a markedly poorer overall survival than did patients with low CCAT2 expression. Knocking down CCAT2 expression led to reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of ccRCC cells in vitro as well as the activation of Wnt/B-catenin signaling pathway, and CCAT2 overexpression remarkably enhanced these oncogenic properties. In vivo mice xenograft model also showed that knocking CCAT2 expression inhibited the growth of ccRCC xenografts. In conclusion, these results indicated that CCAT2 may play a critical role in ccRCC progression and will be further considered as a biomarker for predicting the survival of ccRCC patients and a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC intervention.
