KIFC1 (kinesin family member C1) plays a critical role in clustering of extra centrosomes in various cancer cells and thus could be considered as a promising therapeutic target. However, whether KIFC1 is involved in the procession of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) still remains unclear. In this study, we found that KIFC1 was upregulated in RCC tissues and is responsible for RCC tumorigenesis (p < 0.001). The high expression of KIFC1 correlates with aggressive clinicopathologic parameters. Kaplan‐Meier analysis suggested that KIFC1 was associated with poor survival prognosis in RCC. Silencing KIFC1 dramatically resulted in inhibition of proliferation, delayed the cell cycle at G2/M phase, and suppressed cell invasion and migration in vitro. The antiproliferative effect of KIFC1 silencing was also observed in xenografted tumors in vivo. miR-338-3p could directly bind to the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of KIFC1, and ectopic miR-338-3p expression mimicked the inhibitory functions of KIFC1 silencing on RCC cells through inactivation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, these results revealed that KIFC1 may be a novel biomarker and an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of RCC.

412 Background: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most treatment-resistant cancers. Identification of proteins involved in tumor progression will help gain a better understanding of the disease and will form the basis for the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Methods: Using six fresh-frozen primary and six unmatched metastatic RCC tumors, we used iTRAQ labeling and LC-MS/MS analysis to identify proteins differentially expressed in metastatic versus primary RCC. We verified protein expression by western blot and immunohistochemical analyses and the measured the effect of dysregulated protein expression on biological processes with RCC cell line models. Results: After analysis, we identified 29 proteins differentially expressed in metastatic versus primary RCC. We verified expressions of profilin-1, 14-3-3 zeta/delta, and galectin-1 (Gal-1) on two independent tissue sets by western blot (10 primary and 10 metastatic RCC tissues) and immunohistochemistry (22 primary and 23 metastatic tissues). Overexpression of Gal-1 in CAKI-1 cells lead to decreased actin, increased vimentin expression, and increased cellular migration. Additionally, when Gal-1 was decreased via siRNA, cells showed decreased cellular migration. Protein array analysis showed expression of cell motility-related proteins HSP27, JNK, and RSK, were altered after siRNA transfection. We also showed that Gal-1 expression was increased in response to HIF-1alpha. Furthermore, we analyzed the expression of Gal-1 mRNA in 404 RCC patients using the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project, and found that patients who had higher Gal-1 expression in the primary RCC had significantly decreased overall survival (41 vs. 78 months; p < 0.01). Conclusions: Gal-1 is increased in metastatic RCC and can effect cell migration by targeting proteins involved in cell motility. This may be a downstream effect of HIF-1α dysregulation. Decreased Gal-1 significantly decreased cellular migration suggesting Gal-1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target. Additionally, we showed that increased Gal-1 expression was associated with decreased overall survival.
