Abstract
Background/aim: Despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis remains difficult to eliminate. Copper metabolism MURR1 domain-containing 5 (COMMD5), a protein involved in tubular epithelial integrity, is implicated in RCC tumorigenesis. This study explored its role in RCC metastasis.
Materials and methods: Proliferation, adhesion, and survival under hypoxia in RCC cells over-expressing COMMD5 were evaluated. A murine model was used to evaluate metastatic potential in vivo. Clinical data were analyzed for correlations between COMMD5 expression and patient outcomes.
Results: COMMD5 over-expression facilitated cancer cell differentiation and suppressed proliferation but enhanced adhesion and survival under hypoxia. In vivo, it reduced metastatic lung nodule growth but increased the number of metastatic lung nodules. Clinically, high COMMD5 expression in normal kidneys correlated with smaller RCC size, while high COMMD5 expression in tumors was linked to poor metastasis-free survival.
Conclusion: COMMD5 plays dual roles in RCC progression, as a tumor suppressor and a metastasis enhancer.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
