Background/Aim: Pre-neoplastic lesions and renal cell tumors of distinct pheno-and
genotypes occur frequently in end-stage kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Abstract Purpose Keratin 14 (KRT14) is hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of
renal cell carcinoma (RCC) based on its tumorigenic role in various cancers and its …

Abstract Keratin-15 (KRT15) participates in the tumorigenesis of several cancers, especially
in urinary tract carcinomas by regulating basal urothelial cell malignant proliferation and …

The KRT19 gene encodes cytokeratin 19, an element of the cytoskeleton whose expression
is frequently altered in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Epigenetic phenomena, such as …

Abstract Keratin 8 (KRT8) plays an essential role in the development and metastasis of
multiple human cancers. However, its role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) …

Expression of KRT17 has been described in multi-layered epithelia as well as in tumors
derived from these cells. In cancers arising from KRT17 negative single layered epithelia …

Keratins, the intermediate filaments of the epithelial cell cytoskeleton, are up-regulated and
post-translationally modified in stress situations. Renal tubular epithelial cell stress is a …

Objective To investigate the association between KRT17 and the prognosis in bladder
cancer patients. Methods The clinical data of 101 patients with bladder cancer from May …

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer and recent
developments in the molecular biology of RCC have identified multiple pathways associated …

Abstract Introduction. Bladder cancer (BCa) is one the most common urinary system
malignancies and approximately one quarter of diagnosis is invasive muscle-invasive BCa …
