Abstract

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (KIRC) is the most prevalent subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounting for 70% to 80% of all RCC cases. The CRYAB (αB-crystallin) gene is broadly expressed across various human tissues, yet its role in KIRC progression remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the function of CRYAB in KIRC progression and to assess its potential as a biomarker for early diagnosis, therapeutic targeting, and prognosis. In our report, we found that CRYAB was dramatically upregulated in KIRC, and its expression was associated with TNM stage, pathological stage, and age. Also, patients with higher CRYAB expression exhibited poor survival and prognosis. CRYAB overexpression led to enhanced tumor cell proliferation. Vice versa, CRYAB downregulation resulted in decreased cell proliferation in vitro. Mechanistically, Gene set enrichment analysis plots showed the enrichment of cell survival. Consistently, these effects were associated with increased AKT signaling and BCL-2 expression. Furthermore, we also observed that CRYAB expression levels were negatively correlated with immunocyte infiltration. In conclusion, these findings suggested that CRYAB could be regarded as a latent biomarker for early diagnosis, therapeutic targeting, and prognosis.
