On the molecular level, knock-down of PANTR1 led to a decrease in Vascular Endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and cell adhesion molecule laminin subunit gamma-2 (LAMC2) expression, corroborated by a positive correlation in RCC tissue (for VEGF-A R = 0.19, p < 0.0001, for LAMC2 R = 0.13, p = 0.0028). Here, VEGFA is linked to renal cell carcinoma.
