Renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) when detected incidentally by ultrasonic imaging generally shows an advanced disease stage of being diagnosed metastatic as a result of lacking specific biomarkers at an early stage. To date, RCC is still ranked as the most common renal cancer and considered as one of the most treatment-resistant metastatic malignancies. In this study, a quantitative proteomics approach by means of gel-free shotgun proteomics methodology and stable isotope dimethyl labeling coupled with nano-liquid chromatography/ tandem mass (nanoLCMS/ MS) have been employed to identify 18 up-regulated and 48 down-regulated proteins in RCC samples. It is worth noting that binding and structural proteins in renal clear cells accounted for 43% and 33% of up-regulated proteins respectively, while catalytic enzymes occupied as high as 73% of down-regulated proteins.
