Our results showed some characteristics of early ccRCC: high production of cytokines, substrate hypersialylation, induced nitrosative and carbonylic stress, arginine hypermethylation, TDH alteration, regulatory role of soluble receptors (sRAGE, sIL-6R) in RAGE and IL-6 signaling, the modulatory effect of TK-1and TuM2-PK in controlling the level of phosphometabolites in neoplastic cells. The gene discussed is IL6R; the disease is nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
