It has been reported that mi R-144 is dysregulated and involved in multiple malignant tumors, but its role in renal cell carcinoma（RCC） remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrated mi R-144 was significantly downregulated in human RCC. The decreased mi R-144 correlated with tumor size and TNM stage. Moreover, overexpression of mi R-144 in vitro suppressed RCC cell proliferation and G2 transition, which were reversed by inhibition of mi R-144. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that m TOR was a potential target of mi R-144, which was further confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. Additionally, the examination of clinical RCC specimens revealed that mi R-144 was inversely related to m TOR. Furthermore, knocking down m TOR with si RNA had the same biological effects as those of mi R-144 overexpression in RCC cells, including cell proliferation inhibition and S/G2 cell cycle arrest. In conclusion, our results indicate that mi R-144 affects RCC progression by inhibiting m TOR expression, and targeting mi R-144 may act as a novel strategy for RCC treatment.展开更多

Advances and consensus have been achieved targeting common RCCs, such as clear cell carcinoma, papillary RCC and chromophobe RCC. Nevertheless, little is known on the characteristics of several newly-identified RCCs, including clear cell （tubulo） papillary RCC, Xpl 1 translocation RCC, t（6;11） RCC, succinate dehydrogenase （SDH）-deficient RCC, acquired cystic disease- associated RCC, hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC syndrome-associated RCC, ALK translocation RCC, thyroid-like follicular RCC, tubulocystic RCC and hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumors （HOCT）. In current review, we will collect available literature of these newly-described RCCs, analyze their clinical pathologic characteristics, discuss their morphologic and immunohistologic features, and finally summarize their molecular and genetic evidences. We expect this review would be beneficial for the understanding of RCCs, and eventually promote clinical management strategies.展开更多

Methods LSAB immunohistochemistry was performed to detect eopression of MRP in the carcinoma tissues of 52 patients with gastric carcinoma and 20 cases with renal cell carcinoma. Results The positive expression rate of MRP was 38.5% (20/52) in gastric carcinoma tissues, and 60% (12/20) in renal carcinoma tissues. The expression of MRP both on cellular membrane and in cytoplasm was observed, but the expression in cytoplasm (thick granule) was more obvious. The positive expression rates of MRP in advanced gastric and renal carcinoma (Ⅲ orⅣ stage) were 60% (15/25) and 88.90% (8/9) reSPectively, which were higher than those in early lesion (Ⅰ or Ⅱ stage, 18.5% and 36.4% respectively). Furthermore, the patients with positive expression of MRP in gastric carcinoma tissues had shorter mean survival time and lower 5-year survival rate than that with negative eopression of MRP. Conclusion MRP plays an important role in the infiltration and metastasis of gastric and renal carcinoma and might contribute to the intrinsic drug - resistance in both carcinomas.展开更多

RCCs usually metastasize to the lungs, bones, liver, or brain. Only <1% of patients with bone metastases manifested clavicular RCC metastases. Thus, clavicular metastasis as the initial presentation of RCC is extremely rare. We report a patient with RCC metastasis to the left clavicle, which was first presented with pain caused by a pathological fracture. Magnetic resonance image revealed a renal tumor, and technetium-99m–methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy showed multiple osseous metastases. The patient eventually underwent surgery to remove the lateral end of the left clavicle and right kidney. Histopathology revealed renal tumor and clear cell carcinoma in the clavicle. Finally, we review 17 cases of clavicular metastases originating from different malignancies.展开更多
