RCC and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were clinically resected from 58 patients, in which the expression profile of microRNA-195-5p (miR-195-5p), PDCD5, HDAC3, and serum glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis. This evidence concerns the gene SGK1 and renal cell carcinoma.
