We carried out whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on the tumor and the matching adjacent normal tissues from five patients having Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This was performed in terms of obtaining more understanding of the genomic panorama and molecular basis of this cancer. To examine gene-regulatory networks in XP11 translocation RCC, variance expression analysis was carried out, followed by functional enrichment analysis. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) of Xp11 translocation RCC data was used to validate the results. As per inclusion criteria, a total of 1886 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), 56 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), 223 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), and 1764 differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) were found. KEGG enrichment study of DEmiRNA, DElncRNA, and DEcircRNA target genes identified the function of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, and neutrophil-mediated immunity. Three subnetwork modules integrated from the PPI network also revealed the genes involved in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, and protein degradation processes, which may regulate the Xp11 translocation RCC process. The ceRNA complex network was created by Cytoscape, which included three upregulated circRNAs, five upregulated lncRNAs, 24 upregulated mRNAs, and two downregulated miRNAs (hsa-let-7d-5p and hsa-miR-433-3p). The genes as a prominent component of the complex ceRNA network may be key factors in the pathogenesis of Xp11 translocation RCC. Our findings clarified the genomic and transcriptional complexity of Xp11 translocation RCC while also pointing to possible new targets for Xp11 translocation RCC characterization.
