Abstract:

Abstract:Objective
To detect the Notch signaling pathway-related protein expression levels in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC)   tissues  and explore the  relationship between Notch signaling pathway molecule and occurrence and  development of RCC.Methods 6 cases of RCC diagnosed by pathology detection were obtained by surgical methods.The Notch signaling pathway receptor and ligand protein levels in RCC tissues and adjacent tissues were detected with Western blotting. Results Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression levels of the receptor of Notch signaling Notch-1 and the ligand Jagged-1 in RCC tissues were  significantly reduced(P<0.05),the expression levels of the  receptor Notch-2 of the  Notch signaling pathway and the ligand Jagged-2  in RCC tissues were significantly  increased(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of N
otch signaling pathway protein in RCC has apparente change,Notch signaling pathway may be involved in the occurrence and development of RCC.
