Abstract

Background: The ferroptosis inhibitory gene solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inhibit ferroptosis in carcinoma cells. However, whether SLC7A11 and GPX4 serve as an oncogene in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear.Methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays were performed to assess the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in human RCC tissues. Clinical-pathological analysis was performed to explore the correlation between SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to characterise the associations between protein expression and patient progressionfree survival (PFS).Results: The upregulation of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was detected by IHC in RCC tissues compared with that in normal renal tissues. Meanwhile, the expression level of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was correlated with tumour diameter and distant metastasis (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that patients with high SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression levels exhibited worse PFS than those with low SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression levels (P<0.05).Conclusion: The upregulation of SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression was associated with poor prognosis in patients with RCC. SLC7A11 and GPX4 may serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for patients with RCC.
