Moreover, the present manuscript shows that the modifications affecting DPP IV and NEP profiles along the different phenotypes of renal cancer are similar to those we observed in our previous studies on other membrane-bound peptidases, such as IRAP, APN and APA [12,13,28], and thus reinforces the idea that loss of several physiologically significant glycopeptidases may be a critical step in the etiogenesis of renal tumors. This evidence concerns the gene MME and Renal neoplasm.
