Abstract:
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cc-RCC), is a serious cancer regarding; its fatality, liability for metastases and chemoresistance, so identification of recent therapeutic targets to improve the patient’s prognosis is needed. SPOP is a BTB/POZ domain containing speckle-type POZ protein, has been identified as an E3 ubiquitin ligase component. ZEB1 is an essential epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) activator; E-cadherin is a cell adhesion protein that had been detected in normal epithelial cells membrane. Aim: Was to assess the tissue protein markers SPOP, ZEB1 & E-cadherin expressions in benign areas of neoplastic kidney specimens and in cc-RCC patients, then correlating their expression levels with patients clinicopathological and prognostic data. Methods: We evaluated SPOP, ZEB-1 & E-cadherin expression using immunohistochemistry in samples from 50 cc-RCC and 20 benign areas of neoplastic kidney specimens, then we followed our patients for 5 years and finally we have analyzed correlations between the levels of markers expressions with patients clinicopathological and prognostic criteria in cc-RCC. Results: Positive expression of SPOP & ZEB1 in addition to negative E- cadherin expression was detected in cc-RCC more than benign areas of neoplastic kidney specimens (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001 respectively). In cc-RCC Positive expression of SPOP, ZEB1 and negative E- cadherin expression was associated with higher grade (p = 0.006, 0.007 & < 0.001 and p = 0.013 respectively). Conclusion: Positive expression of SPOP& ZEB1 in addition to negative E- cadherin are associated with poor prognosis in cc-RCC patients
