Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | renal cell carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C64.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi etc. |
| Sample | RCC tissues, cell lines (786-O, ACHN, 769P, HEK-293T, Caki-2 etc.) |
| Expression Pattern | down-regulated |
| Function Description | The results of the present study demonstrated that UCA1 expression levels were significantly increased in RCC tissues and cells, as compared with the controls. Ectopic expression and gene silencing of UCA1 in RCC cell lines exerted opposite effects on cellular proliferation, migration and apoptosis, and the results suggested that UCA1 may function as an oncogene in RCC. These results indicated that UCA1 may be considered as a promising biomarker for diagnosis, and a therapeutic target in RCC. Further research is required to elucidate the role and target genes of UCA1 in RCC |
