Analysis of expression alterations of RASSF1A, SEMA3B, RHOA, GPX1, RAR-beta, and NKIRAS1 genes in clear cell carcinoma
Abstract
The genes of the short arm of human chromosome 3 in epithelial tumors are subject to frequent deletions, amplifications, mutations, and methylation, which affects their expression. We studied the expression of 6 genes from critical regions of the human chromosome 3 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, SEMA3B, RASSF1A, RAR-beta2, GPX1, RHOA, and NKIRAS1. For the first time, the dependence of changes in the mRNA content of these genes on the clinical stage of cancer was studied. Analysis of changes in the expression of the NKIRAS1 gene in clear cell renal cell carcinoma was performed for the first time. The obtained data may be useful for selection of prognostic markers of kidney cancer.
