Description

Yuedian Ye and co-authors report, in 2026, two ways one protein helps kidney cancer grow and spread into veins. The protein, called suprabasin or SBSN, was higher in tumor tissue than in healthy kidney. High levels also marked tumors that had grown a clot-like extension into a vein, a pattern tied to worse outlook. Lab tests tied SBSN to faster cell growth and movement.

Inside cancer cells, SBSN switched on a signal chain ending in CD44, a surface protein linked to spread. It also raised a second protein in nearby vessel cells, which kept those cells alive and helped them form tubes. Blocking either route could starve tumors of blood while slowing the cells themselves. The authors propose SBSN as both a warning marker and a drug target.
