Further correlative analysis demonstrated that TRIM37 level positively correlated with TGF-β1 expression in TCGA datasets (R = 0.22, P < 0.05), NMU_RCC cohort 1 (R = 0.6886, P < 0.05) and CCLE RCC lines (R = 0.5902, P < 0.05) (Fig. 3H). This evidence concerns the gene TRIM37 and renal cell carcinoma.
