## Abstract DJ‐1 is as a novel regulator of the tumor suppressor PTEN with stimulatory effects on PI3K‐AKT/PKB signaling, one possible target of which is cMyc. The catalytic unit of the telomerase complex, hTERT, can be activated at different levels, including transcriptionally by cMyc and through

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The insulin‐receptor substrate family plays important roles in cellular growth, signaling, and survival. We have previously shown the dysregulation of the IGF‐axis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. In this manuscript, we examine the expression of the insulin receptor substrate family in clear cell RCC, and demonstrate that the expression of 2 members of this family are significantly altered in tumors. The most striking finding is that expression of the new IRS family member IRS‐5 is significantly upregulated in 90% of examined clear cell RCCs. Studies on this gene has shown that it is regulated through chromatin remodeling in kidney cells. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The proteome of RCC was analyzed by 2D PAGE to search for tumor‐associated proteins. Agmatinase, which hydrolyzes agmatine to putrescine and urea, was identified by mass spectrometry and database searches and shown to be downregulated in tumor cells. Additionally, RT‐PCR and Northern bl

## Abstract Renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC) is the most frequent subpopulation of renal cell carcinoma and is derived from the proximal uriniferous tubules. We have previously reported that an actin‐binding protein, 4.1B/DAL‐1, is expressed in renal proximal tubules, whereas it is inactivated in
