Popis: Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) with poor prognosis is the main histological subtype of renal cell carcinoma, accounting for more than 80% of patients. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage due to being asymptomatic early on. Advanced KIRC has an extremely poor prognosis due to its inherent resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of KIRC and the development of effective early diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is urgently needed. In this study, we aimed to identify the prognosis-related biomarker and analyzed its relationship with tumor progression. Metabolic changes are an important feature of kidney cancer, where the reduction of fumarate allows us to target the tyrosine metabolic pathway. The homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD) and glutathione S-transferase zeta 1 (GSTZ1) related with prognosis of KIRC was identified through bioinformatics analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. Mechanistically, we found that decreased HGD and GSTZ1 promote aerobic glycolysis in KIRC, coordinate the balance of amino acid metabolism and energy metabolism in tumor cells, and ultimately activate the tumor cell cycle and tumor progression. In summary, we identified the tyrosine metabolizing enzymes HGD and GSTZ1 as biomarkers of KIRC, which will further the understanding of the tumor metabolism profile, provide novel strategies and theoretical support for diagnosing and treating KIRC and as referential for future clinical research.
