Loss of BAP1 Results in Growth Inhibition and Enhances Mesenchymal–Epithelial Transition in Kidney Tumor Cells

Abstract excerpt

BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) is a member of the ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase family of deubiquitinating enzymes and is implicated in transcriptional regulation. The BAP1 gene is mutated in about 10% of patients with ccRCC, the most common form of renal cancer, suggesting that BAP1 is a tumor suppressor. However, whether BAP1 influences the progression of ccRCC tumors expressing wild-type (WT) BAP1 is...
