Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b Expression of REGγ in RCC tissues (T) and normal kidney tissues (N) as detected by IHC ( a ) and WB ( b ). c Expression of REGγ in four RCC cell lines (A498, 786-O, ACHN, and caki-1) and the normal renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2) as detected by western blot. d Comparison of REGγ expression in different Fuhrman grades I–IV of RCC tissue samples via IHC staining (left panel: magnification ×200, scale bar = 50 μm; right panel: magnification ×400, scale bar = 20 μm). e REGγ (PSME3) expression (median of expression intensity) in different pathological types and grades of RCC derived from Oncomine database ( https://www.oncomine.org/ ). f Kaplan–Meier analysis of the correlation between REGγ expression and the survival time in RCC patients. Cases were classified into lower expression group and higher expression group as described in methods. g Prognosis of RCC (KIRC) patients with high or low expression of REGγ (PSME3) derived from OncoLnc database ( https://www.oncolnc.org/ )

Article Snippet: The stable REGγ knockdown RCC cell lines ACHN and A498 were generated by integration of retroviral shREGγ vectors specific for REGγ or a control gene (GFP) from OriGene (Rockville, MD), which was performed as previously described .

Figure Lengend Snippet: a PSME3 upregulation is closely correlated with renal cell carcinoma revealed by KEGG pathway analysis. b GSEA indicated that cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis were positively correlated with elevated PSME3 expression in RCC from database GSE89563 (GO_0008284 and GO_0006915). NES, normalized enrichment score. c Stable knockdown of REGγ (shREGγ) in RCC cell lines (ACHN and A498) confirmed by WB. d , e Effect of shREGγ on RCC cells growth as determined by MTT assay. f Representative images of colony formation of RCC cells after transfection of shREGγ versus shNC. g , h Representative images of EdU incorporation assay after transfection of shREGγ versus shNC. i , j Representative flow cytometry plots of cell cycle distribution from ACHN and A498 cells transfected with shREGγ and shNC. k , l Apoptosis rate from ACHN and A498 cells after transfected with shREGγ and shNC as detected by flow cytometry. Data are shown as mean ± SD. * P < 0.05
