360 Background: We have previously shown that mutations in the epigenetic modifiers PBRM1, BAP1, SETD2 and KDM5C are associated with adverse tumor characteristics and, in some cases, worse cancer specific survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We analyzed publically available data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA), to assess the impact of mutations in these genes on cancer-specific survival. Methods: We analayzed the genomic and clinical data from the TCGA cohort of 424 patients with primary ccRCC. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival probabilities, and log-rank test was used to test the univariate association between mutation status and overall survival. Cancer specific survival (CSS) was analyzed using the competing risk method. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression and competing risk models were also fitted to adjust for the validated Mayo Clinic SSIGN prognostic score. Results: Mutations in these epigenetic modifiers are frequent (PBRM1, 33.7%; SETD2, 11.6%; BAP1, 9.7%, KDM5C, 5.7%). BAP1 (p=0.002, HR 2.21 [1.34-3.62]), SETD2 (p=0.036, HR 1.68 [1.03-2.72]) and KDM5C (p=0.016, HR 2.18 [1.16-4.11]) are associated with worse CSS by competing risk. When adjusting for the prognostic SSIGN score, only mutations in KDM5C remain significant (p<0.0001 HR 4.03 [2.1-7.9]). On the contrary, PBRM1 mutations, the second most common gene mutations of ccRCC, have no impact on CSS. Conclusions: BAP1, SETD2 and KDM5C mutations are associated with worse CSS, suggesting their roles in disease progression. PBRM1 mutations do not impact CSS, implicating its principal role in the tumor initiation. Future efforts should focus on therapeutic interventions and further clinical, pathologic and molecular interrogation of this novel class of tumor suppressors.

Abstract Objective: To construct a novel prognostic model of immune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) pairs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: RNA-seq and clinical data were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Differentially expressed irlncRNAs (DEirlncRNAs) were obtained by co-expression strategy with immune genes. A 0-1 matrix was constructed according to DEirlncRNAs relevant expression levels. Univariate cox regression was used to select potential target pairs. Lasso regression with cross validation and multivariate cox regression were carried out to extract the final biomarker pairs for risk score calculation. Through calculating the optimal cutoff of AUCs, patients were divided into high and low risk group. Model validation was conducted by independent prognostic analysis, survival analysis, tumor-infiltrating and chemosensitivity analysis. Results: A total of 42 DEirlncRNAs were identified and 12 target pairs were included to construct the final model. The risk score were both significantly different according to univariate (p<0.001, HR=1.391, 95%CI [1.313–1.475]) and multivariate cox regression (p<0.001, HR=1.3104, 95%CI [1.227-1.399]). The AUC reached 0.765 at 1-year, 0.724 at 3-year and 0.785 at 5-year. Patients in the high-risk group had significantly poor survival, higher level of CD8+T infiltration, lower drug sensitivity of sunitinib and temsirolimus but higher sensitivity of lapatinib and pazopanib.Conclusion: The novel prognostic model constructed by paring irlncRNAs showed an effective clinical prediction in ccRCC patients.

Long noncoding RNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 has previously played important roles in cancer. However, its role is still unknown in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We utilized the most recent molecular and clinical data of clear cell renal cell carcinoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas project, and the relationship between urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 expression and the clinicopathological features was analyzed. Our results indicated that urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 overexpression was associated with male ( p = 0.003), wild-type PBRM1 ( p = 0.021), and BAP1 mutation ( p = 0.022) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, although lower expression was found in tumors compared with normal controls, validated in tumor tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas and 21 clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients at our hospital. Moreover, urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 overexpression indicated poor prognosis independently (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1.92, p = 0.000) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma; it might be a potential detrimental gene considered as a predictive biomarker involved in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
