PLAT and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma: PDLIM1 (PDZ and LIM domain protein 1) was validated at the protein level, and conditioned medium from stable ccRCC cell lines was applied to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for Matrigel tube formation assays.<h4>Results</h4>Five angiogenesis-related hub genes (PDLIM1, EMCN, ARPC1B, PLAT, and TIMP1) were identified.
