Fig 1. Expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and NRP1 in clear cell, papillary and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and across 32 distinct cancer forms.
(A) Bioinformatic analysis of the TCGA data sets for renal cell carcinoma showing mRNA expression levels for the ACE2, TMPRSS2 and NRP1 genes in individual RCC cases for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CHRCC), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). (B) Comparison of the mRNA expression levels for ACE2, TMPRSS2 and NRP1 across 32 different types of malignancies deposited at the TCGA atlas. KIRC denotes CCRCC (red square), KIRP denotes PRCC (blue square) and KICH denotes CHRCC (green square). (C) Immunoblotting results for ACE2, TMPRSS2 and NRP1 proteins in lysates from normal tissue, CCRCC, PRCC and CHRCC. Results from densitometry of the protein bands is shown below the blots.
