In this study, C1QBP knockdown in RCC cell influenced expression of multiple genes associated with cell adhesion, among which L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) was significantly higher upon a reduction of C1QBP.
Expression of L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) occurs frequently in human cancers and is associated with poor prognosis in cancers such as ovarian, endometrial, breast, renal cell carcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
To determine the clinical usefulness of L1-CAM as a therapeutic or prognostic marker molecule in renal cancer patients, we analyzed its expression on a cohort of 282 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.
