Popis: The clinical behaviour of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (CC-RCC) is often unpredictable. To fully understand the signaling pathways involved in CCRCC development, we examined whether the 5- Lipoxygenase (5-LO), which catalyzes the biosynthesis of proinflammatory leukotrienes, is involved in renal tumorigenesis. By analyzing 46 snap-frozen primary renal cell carcinomas and their corresponding normal renal cortex biopsies, 5-LO protein levels were found to be significantly increased in the majority of CC-RCCs (P4 cm) and age of patients (P
