The PAX developmental gene family encodes nine highly conserved transcription factors that play crucial roles in embryonic development organogenesis, which have been implicated the occurrence of RCC. This review explores molecular landscape RCC, with specific focus on role RCC tumorigenesis disease progression. Of various subtypes, clear renal (ccRCC) most prevalent, characterized by loss von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene. Here, we published literature expression patterns functional implications genes, particularly PAX2 PAX8, three common including ccRCC, papillary (PRCC), chromophobe (ChRCC). Further, interactions potential biological mechanisms involving genes VHL driving pathogenesis key signaling pathways mediated ccRCC associated implicating PAX.

Abstract Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are essential transcription that orchestrate cellular responses to oxygen deprivation. HIF-1α, as an unstable subunit of HIF-1, is usually hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase domain enzymes under normoxic conditions, leading ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby keeping low levels. Instead hypoxia, sometimes even in normoxia, HIF-1α translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes with HIF-1β generate then activates genes involved adaptive such angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming, survival, which presents new challenges insights its role processes. Thus, review delves mechanisms HIF-1 maintains stability normoxia including but not limited giving transcriptional, translational, well posttranslational regulation underscore pivotal adaptation malignancy. Moreover, extensively cancer cardiovascular diseases potentially serves a bridge between them. An overview HIF-1-related drugs approved or clinical trials summarized, highlighting their potential capacity for targeting toxicity related treatment. The provides comprehensive insight HIF-1’s regulatory mechanism paves way future research therapeutic development.

Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a therapeutically recalcitrant genitourinary malignancy, exemplifies the profound interplay between oncogenic signaling and metabolic adaptation. Emerging evidence positions reprogramming as central axis of RCC pathogenesis, characterized by dynamic shifts in nutrient utilization that transcend canonical Warburg physiology to encompass lipid anabolism, glutamine auxotrophy, microenvironment-driven plasticity. This orchestrated rewiring cellular energetics sustains tumor proliferation under hypoxia while fostering immunosuppression through metabolite-mediated T exhaustion myeloid-derived suppressor activation. Crucially, exhibits heterogeneity across histological subtypes intratumoral regions—a feature increasingly recognized determinant therapeutic resistance. Our review systematically deciphers molecular architecture metabolism, elucidating how VHL/HIF mutations, mTOR pathway dysregulation, epigenetic modifiers converge reshape glucose flux, droplet biogenesis, amino acid catabolism. We present novel insights into spatial zonation within tumors, where pseudohypoxic niches engage lactate shuttling cholesterol efflux adjacent vasculature, creating pro-angiogenic immunosuppressive microdomains.

Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is fundamentally a metabolic disease. To investigate the underlying metabolite changes in occurrence of ccRCC, we analyzed untargeted metabolomics 15 ccRCC samples and paired adjacent non-malignant tissues by UHPLC-MS/MS analyses. In this study, 511 differential metabolites were screened, which top ten up-regulated histamine, 1-methylnicotinamide, L-kynurenine, cortisol, tetrahydrocorticosterone, calcitriol, D-erythrose 4-phosphate, citric acid, sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphate, UDP-alpha-D-galactose, down-regulated D-cysteine, acetylcholine, pantothenic cytosine, UMP, biocytin, dUMP, 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate, cytidine-5'-monophosphate, 16α-hydroxyestrone. KEGG pathways enrichment analysis further demonstrated several highlighted pathways: steroid hormone biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, vitamin digestion absorption. Our study reveals patterns provides insight into potential biomarker panel to diagnose ccRCC.
