Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. The present study is aimed to investigate the role of alpinumisoflavone (AIF), a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, in ccRCC and the underlying mechanism. In this study, miR-101 has been identified as a novel therapeutic target, which exerts anti-tumor effect on ccRCC by directly targeting RLIP76. Moreover, our results showed that AIF was able to increase the expression of miR-101 by suppressing Akt signalling. Our findings in this study provided experimental evidence that AIF has the potential to be used as an agent in the treatment of ccRCC.Entities:
