Among them, exportin-1 (XPO1) is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for ccRCC, which can promote renal cancer progression by activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT)/mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR)) and interferon alpha pathways. Here, AKT1 is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
