Abstract Background The emerging of targeted therapies has revolutionized the treatment modalities of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) over the past fifteen years. However, lack of personalized treatment limits the development of effective clinical guidelines and improvement of patient prognosis. In this study, large-scale genomic profiles of ccRCC cohorts were exploited for conducting an integrative analysis. Method Based on synthetic lethality (SL), a concept that simultaneous losses of two genes cause cell death while a single loss does not, we sought to develop a computational pipeline to infer potential SL partners of ccRCC. Drug response prediction were received from three pharmacological databases to select agents which are likely to be effective in precisely treating patients with target gene mutation. Results We developed a credible method to identify SL pairs and determined a list of 72 candidate pairs which might be utilized to selectively eliminate tumors with genetic aberrations through SL partners of specific mutations. Further analysis identified BRD4 and PRKDC as novel medicine targets for patients with BAP1 mutations. After mapping these target genes to comprehensive drug datasets, two agents (BI-2536 and PI-103) were found to have considerable therapeutic potential in BAP1 mutant tumors. Conclusion Overall, our findings provide insight into the overview of ccRCC mutation patterns and offer novel opportunities for improving individualized cancer treatment.

Novel Therapeutic Strategies

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of all kidney tumors. During the last few years, epigenetics has emerged as an important mechanism in ccRCC pathogenesis. Recent reports, involving large-scale methylation and sequencing analyses, have identified genes frequently inactivated by promoter methylation and recurrent mutations in genes encoding chromatin regulatory proteins. Interestingly, three of detected genes (PBRM1, SETD2 and BAP1) are located on chromosome 3p, near the VHL gene, inactivated in over 80% ccRCC cases. This suggests that 3p alterations are an essential part of ccRCC pathogenesis. Moreover, most of the proteins encoded by these genes cooperate in histone H3 modifications. The aim of this review is to summarize the latest discoveries shedding light on deregulation of chromatin machinery in ccRCC. Newly described ccRCC-specific epigenetic alterations could potentially serve as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and become an object of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the top 10 malignant carcinomas1. Clear cell (cc)RCC, accounting for ~ 75% of RCC cases, is an aggressive histological RCC subtype. In the last decade, large-scale multiomics studies have profoundly enhanced our understanding of this disease2,3. However, despite the differences of genomic alterations between Western and Eastern ccRCC4,5, these studies mostly focused on patients in Western populations. Here we conducted a comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of 232 tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissue pairs from Chinese ccRCC patients. Genomic analysis revealed unique genetic features of Chinese ccRCC and distinct mutation patterns associated with copy number alterations. Based on proteomic profiles, ccRCC showed extensive metabolic dysregulation, especially in one-carbon metabolism. We classified ccRCC into three subtypes (GP1–3), among which the most aggressive GP1 exhibited dominant immune response, metastasis, and metabolic imbalance, linking the proteomic features, genomic alterations, and clinical outcomes of ccRCC. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) and NNMT mediated protein homocysteinylation were identified as a poor prognosis indicator and a drug target for GP1, respectively. We demonstrated that NNMT induces DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) homocysteinylation, increases DNA repair, and promotes tumor growth in ccRCC. Treatment of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an inhibitor of homocysteinylation, markedly reduced the NNMT overexpression induced radioresistance of tumor cells. This study provided valuable insights into the biological underpinnings and prognosis assessment of ccRCC, revealing a targetable metabolic vulnerability.
