EGFR protein overexpression correlates with chromosome 7 polysomy and poor prognostic parameters in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Abstract: BackgroundThe role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) in the pathogenesis and progression of various malignant tumors has long been known, but there is still disagreement concerning prognostic significance of EGFR expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). The present study was designed to analyze more objectively the protein EGFR expression in CCRCC and to compare its value with EGFR gene copy number changes and clinicopathologic characteristics including patient survival.Met… Show more

“…Epidermal growth factor receptor plays a significant role in promoting tumor progression, and its associated signaling pathways are well established targets in cancer therapy . Overexpression of EGFR in RCC is correlated with cell proliferation, high tumor stage, high nuclear grade, tumor recurrence, and overall survival . Thus, EGFR was considered a key factor in the prognosis of RCC and a potential target for the treatment of RCC.…”

“…And in model systems of autocrine stimulation of EGFR, or EGFR overexpression and mutation, consequent transformation has been observed [26, 27]. EGFR may function through activating a network of signaling pathways, involving Ras, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and the signal transducer, activator of transcription family [28-30], and so forth in ccRCC [31, 32]. …”

“…Liang et al reported the inhibitory effect of silibinin on EGFR signal-induced renal cell carcinoma progression via suppression of the EGFR/MMP-9 signaling pathway [4]. The effect of EGR on renal cell carcinoma was also reported by others [5, 6]. EGFR activation is required to induce the renal fibrotic genes [7, 8].…”
