eIF3C expression was upregulated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues and cell lines. Depletion of eIF3C reduced tumor cell proliferation and arrested them at the G1 stage, thus promoting their apoptosis in vitro. Depletion of eIF3C also inhibited the formation and growth of tumor cell xenografts in nude mice. Study demonstrated that upregulated eIF3C expression contributed to the development and progression of RCC.
Title: Upregulated expression of eIF3C is associated with malignant behavior in renal cell carcinoma.
Whereas the eIF3c knockdown reduces it, downregulation of eIF3k or eIF3l increases mRNA recruitment, suggesting that the latter subunits possess a regulatory potential. Altogether this study provides new insights into the role of human eIF3 in the initial assembly steps of the translational machinery

EIF3C overexpression was correlated to age and tumor stage in prostate cancer patients and indicated poor survival. The proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of PC3 cells were all inhibited after EIF3C knockdown. Phosphorylation level of PI3K and Akt and total NF-kappaB and Myc decreased after EIF3C knockdown. Therefore, EIF3C at least partially regulates the activity of PI3K/Akt/NF-kappaB signaling pathway in PC3...

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
