Updated project metadata. Sunitinib is a TKI inhibitor used for managing metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, chronic sunitinib treatment in RCC usually results in the development of drug resistance via alternating phosphorylation dynamics. On the other hand, 17-beta-estradiol, or estrogen, has been demonstrated to repress RCC growth partly through regulating cell signallings. To investigate how estrogen can repress sunibitinib-resistant RCC growth and its the possible mechanism of action related protein phosphorylation, a label-free quantitative phosphoproteomics study is performed.
