ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic role of NAA10 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We performed a gene expression and survival analysis based on the human cancer genome atlas database of ccRCC patients (TCGA-KIRC).RESULTS:
The patients in the TCGA-KIRC (n = 537) were divided into two subgroups NAA10-low and NAA10-high expression groups. NAA10-high ccRCC exhibited higher T stages (p = 0.002), a higher frequency of distant metastasis (p = 0.018), more advanced AJCC stages (p < 0.001), a lower overall survival time (p = 0.036), and a lower survival rate (p < 0.001). NAA10-high ccRCC was associated with increased activity of non-specific oncogenic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation (p < 0.001) and cell cycle progression [G2 to M phase transition (p = 0.045) and E2F targets (p < 0.001)]. Additionally, the NAA10-high tumors showed reduced apoptosis via TRIAL pathways (p < 0.001) and increased levels of activity that promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (p = 0.026) or undifferentiation (p = 0.01). In ccRCC, NAA10 expression was found to be a negative prognostic factor in both non-metastatic (p < 0.001) and metastatic tumors (p = 0.032).CONCLUSIONS:
In ccRCC, NAA10 expression was shown to be a negative prognostic factor related to tumor progression rather than tumor initiation, and high NAA10 expression promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition and undifferentiation.Palavras-chave
