Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common RCC subtype with a high mortality. It has been reported that delta-like 1 homologue (DLK1) participates in the tumor microenvironmental remodeling of ccRCC, but the relationship between delta-like 2 homologue (DLK2, a DLK1 homologue) and ccRCC is still unclear. Thus, this study aims to investigate the role of DLK2 in the biological function and disease prognosis of ccRCC using bioinformatics analysis. The TNMplot database showed that DLK2 was upregulated in ccRCC tissues. From the UALCAN analysis, the overexpression of DLK2 was associated with advanced stage and high grade in ccRCC. Moreover, the Kaplan-Meier plotter (KM Plotter) database showed that DLK2 upregulation was associated with poor survival outcome in ccRCC. By the LinkedOmics analysis, DLK2 signaling may participated in the modulation of ccRCC extracellular matrix (ECM), cell metabolism, ribosome biogenesis, TGF-β signaling and Notch pathway. Besides, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) analysis showed that the macrophage and CD8 T cell infiltrations were associated with good prognosis in ccRCC patients. Finally, DLK2 overexpression was associated with the reduced macrophage recruitments and the M1-M2 polarization of macrophage in ccRCC tissues. Together, DLK2 may acts as a novel biomarker, even therapeutic target in ccRCC. However, this study lacks experimental validation, and further studies are required to support this viewpoint.
