Meanwhile, Katayama H et al. analyzed the correlation between HOTAIR expression and clinical features in ccRCC and found that HOTAIR upregulates its downstream molecule IGFBP2 expression, induces glycolytic gene expression, and maintains a high flow of glycolysis in ccRCC cells, which correlates with their proliferative and migratory capacity 57. Here, HOTAIR is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
