Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of all cancers. Approximately 25%-30% of patients present with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, and metastatic RCC is a treatment-resistant malignancy. Altered expression of cell adhesion molecules such as CD44 on tumor cells suggests a pathogenetic mechanism for tumor metastasis and may provide prognostic information for particular tumors. These cell matrix interactions of CD44 play a role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. The Wnt/beta-catenin pathway turned out to be a promising target as it is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis induction. In this study, the expression of beta-catenin and CD44 was analyzed in primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) samples to understand their association with development of the disease. For this purpose, immunohistochemical expression analysis of beta-catenin and CD44 was performed in 30 primary RCC histological samples and normal kidney tissues in different subtypes at different clinical stages of Indian patients (year: 2017-2019). Most of the patients who presented were diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma and it was observed that expression of CD44 was high in patients with high stage tumors. Also beta-catenin was increased in advanced grade tumors, but there was insignificant correlation between high expression of molecules and survival or recurrence of disease. Both cd44 and beta-catenin activation was noted in patients with clear cell carcinoma, more in advanced tumors. Both can be promising targets for treatment in clear cell RCCs.
