Background: Acidic extracellular pH is a major feature of tumor tissue. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) represent an H+-gated subgroup of the degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel family and are activated by acidic microenvironment. Little is known about the expression and clinical significance of ASICs in solid tumors. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of ASIC1 in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and to determine if the expression of ASIC1 is associated with clinicopathological features.Methods: The expression of ASIC1 in CCRCC tissues at the mRNA and protein levels was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis, respectively. A tissue microarray was used to assess the expression of ASIC1 protein in tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissues from 75 patients with CCRCC.Results: ASIC1 expression was detected in normal renal and CCRCC samples. The expressions of ASIC1 protein and mRNA were significantly decreased in the CCRCC tissues compared with matched normal renal tissues (P
