| Popis: | Pathways such as VEGF, EGF and mTOR are known to be one of the major mechanisms of tumorigenesis including kidney cancer. To identify potential signaling pathway proteins, we performed differential/correlation analyses of mTOR-associated genes from three public datasets. AKT1 protein, one of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, turned out to be the potential by showing a consistent discrepancy between ccRCC-associated conditions as well as strong correlation with other mTOR-associated genes across the datasets. Then, we analyzed how AKT1 alteration affects clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The pathology of 58 kidney cancer patients was constructed to analyze the relationship between the expression level of AKT1 through immunohistochemical staining and their clinicopathological data. Gender, age and TNM stage did not show significant results. AKT1 is a known oncogene. However, in this study, high expression of AKT1 showed a slight correlation with lower WHO/ISUP grade, longer recurrence-free and progression-free survival rates. |
