BackgroundClear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cancer, accounting for approximately 75% of all histological types of renal cancer, and is the leading cause of death from renal cancer. However, the molecular mechanism of tyrosine kinase binding protein (TYROBP) and sex-determining region Y Box-6 (SOX6) in the ccRCC was not precise.MethodsBioinformatics analysis was performed to explore the hub role of TYROBP and SOX6 on the ccRCC. A total of 6 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) were recruited. HE staining was performed to observe the pathology result of ccRCC. Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence assay was made to detect the protein expression of TYROBP. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol to examine the mRNA expression of TYROBP via the Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The strong correlation between the expression of TYROBP and the survival time of ccRCC patients was performed by the BP neural network and support vector machine.ResultsCompared with the control group, the expression of SOX6 was downregulated in the samples with ccRCC. However, the expression of TYROBP was higher in the samples with ccRCC than in the control group. Compared with the patients with high SOX6 expression, the patients with low SOX6 expression have a poor survival prognosis (HR=0.39, P < .05). However, the patients with high TYROBP expression have a shorter survival time than the patients with low TYROBP expression (HR=1.66, P < .05). The genes related with TYROBP and SOX6 are mainly enriched in the regulation of cell activation, leukocyte activation, negative regulation of cell activation, myeloid leukocyte activation, positive regulation of response to external stimulus, immune response-regulating signaling pathway. The interaction between TYROBP, SOX6, and kidney neoplasms was drawn, and the inference score of TYROBP and SOX6 on the kidney neoplasms was high.ConclusionIn conclusion, TYROBP is highly expressed in renal clear cell carcinoma, and when this molecule is highly expressed, the survival prognosis of renal carcinoma is poor. TYROBP and SOX6 may be potential targets for diagnosing and treating renal clear cell carcinoma.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
