NDRG2 suppresses the proliferation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma cell A-498

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recently, the anti-tumor activity of N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) was shown decreased expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), but the role of the down-expression of NDRG2 has not been described.</p>...

Fluorescence activated cell sorter analysis showed that 25.00% of cells expressed NDRG2 were in S-phase compared to 40.67% of control cells, whereas 62.08% of cells expressed NDRG2 were in G1-phase compared to 54.39% of control cells (<it>P </it>< 0.05). In addition, there were much more apoptotic cells in NDRG2-expressing cells than in the controls (<it>P </it>< 0.05). Moreover, upregulation of NDRG2 protein was associated with a reduction in cyclin D1, cyclin E, whereas cyclinD2, cyclinD3 and cdk2 were not affected examined by western blot.
