BNIP3 and renal cell carcinoma: On this basis, the expression of BNIP3 protein and mRNA in renal cell carcinoma cell lines A498, 786-O, CAKI-1, ACHN, and GRC was analyzed, and A498 and 786-O cells with lower expression were selected to be transfected with BNIP3 overexpression plasmid to construct overexpressing BNIP3.
