456 Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) demonstrates heterogeneous behavior. Approximately 30% to 40% of patients with clinically localized RCC will later metastasize. Current tools are imperfect for predicting who will have distant spread of disease. The utility of the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) calculated from C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels, has been well-studied as a pre-operative predictive tool in patients with various solid organ malignancies, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This score has not been used in the post-operative setting, and we hypothesized that mGPS can be a powerful tool to predicting overall survival. Methods: Patients undergoing nephrectomy for clinically localized RCC from 2005 to 2010 were studied. Inclusion criteria required clear cell histology and no nodal or metastatic disease at the time of surgery. Additionally, only patients with post-operative C-reactive protein and albumin recorded were included in the analyses. Demographic and clinico-pathological variables were analyzed as categorical variables with the exception of age and tumor size, which were analyzed as continuous variables. Patients were assigned an mGPS score of 0, 1, or 2 based on post-operative data (0 = CRP ≤ 10 mg/l, 1 = CRP>10 mg/l and 2 = CRP>10 mg/l and albumin<3.5 g/dL). Survival analyses utilized Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression models. Results: Study criteria were met in 142 patients. Mean age was 59 years and 61% were men. No patients had T4 disease while 25% had T3, 9% had T2, and 66% had T1 disease. A post-operative mGPS of 0, 1, and 2 was assigned to 69%, 13% and 18% of the study population, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified post-operative high mGPS (mGPS = 2) as an independent predictor of overall survival (HR 5.591; CI 95% 1.508, 20.734; p = 0.010). Conclusions: In patients with clinically localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma, post-operative mGPS score is an independent predictor of overall survival. Accordingly, mGPS may be a useful tool to monitor disease progression in this patient population.

AbstractClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most frequent and aggressive subtype of renal carcinoma. So far, the basis of its oncogenesis remains unclear resulting in a deficiency of usable and reliable biomarkers for its clinical management. Previously, we showed that nuclear expression of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), phosphorylated at its serine 727 (pS727), was inversely proportional to the overall survival of ccRCC patients. Therefore, in the present study, we validated the value of pS727-STAT3 as a clinically relevant biomarker in ccRCC. This work is a retrospective study on 82 ccRCC patients treated with nephrectomy and followed-up for 10 years. Immunohistochemical expression of pS727-STAT3 was analyzed on a tissue microarray and nuclear and cytosolic levels were correlated with clinical outcome of patients. Our results showed that pS727-STAT3 levels, whether in the nucleus (p = 0.002; 95% CI 1.004–1.026) or the cytosol (p = 0.040; 95% CI 1.003–1.042), significantly correlate with patients’ survival in an independent-manner of clinicopathological features (Fuhrman grade, risk group, and tumor size). Moreover, we report that patients with high pS727-STAT3 levels who undergone adjuvant therapy exhibited a significant stabilization of the disease (~ 20 months), indicating that pS727-STAT3 can pinpoint a subset of patients susceptible to respond well to treatment. In summary, we demonstrated that high pS727-STAT3 levels (regardless of their cellular location) correlate with low overall survival of ccRCC patients, and we suggested the use of pS727-STAT3 as a prognostic biomarker to select patients for adjuvant treatment to increase their survival.

Abstract Background The role of glycolysis in tumorigenesis has received increasing attention and multiple glycolysis-related genes (GRGs) have been proven to be associated with tumor metastasis. Hence, we aimed to construct a prognostic signature based on GRGs for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to explore its relationships with immune infiltration. Methods Clinical information and RNA-sequencing data of ccRCC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and ArrayExpress datasets. Key GRGs were finally selected through univariate COX, LASSO and multivariate COX regression analyses. External and internal verifications were further carried out to verify our established signature. Results Finally, 10 GRGs including ANKZF1, CD44, CHST6, HS6ST2, IDUA, KIF20A, NDST3, PLOD2, VCAN, FBP1 were selected out and utilized to establish a novel signature. Compared with the low-risk group, ccRCC patients in high-risk groups showed a lower overall survival (OS) rate (P = 5.548Ee-13) and its AUCs based on our established signature were all above 0.70. Univariate/multivariate Cox regression analyses further proved that this signature could serve as an independent prognostic factor (all P < 0.05). Moreover, prognostic nomograms were also created to find out the associations between the established signature, clinical factors and OS for ccRCC in both the TCGA and ArrayExpress cohorts. All results remained consistent after external and internal verification. Besides, nine out of 21 tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) were highly related to high- and low- risk ccRCC patients stratified by our established signature. Conclusions A novel signature based on 10 prognostic GRGs was successfully established and verified externally and internally for predicting OS of ccRCC, helping clinicians better and more intuitively predict patients’ survival.

Pak1 Expression

Abstract Background: Little is known about the associations between PAK1 and anti-tumor immunity in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This study aims to explore the prognostic value of PAK1 in ccRCC patients and investigated the molecular immune mechanism for its oncogenic role. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 282 ccRCC patients undergoing nephrectomy between 2005 and 2007 in Zhongshan hospital. Immunohistochemistry evaluated PAK1, CCL22, FOXP3 and CD8 expression in clinical specimens. Fresh tumor tissues, para-tumor tissues and peripheral blood samples for RT-PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry analyses were collected from patients who underwent nephrectomy in Zhongshan Hospital from September 2017 to April 2018. We compared clinical outcomes by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model. Bioinformatics analysis performed in TCGA KIRC cohort. Results: High PAK1 expression indicated poorer overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS) (both p<0.001) in ccRCC patients. Multivariate analyses indicated PAK1 as an independent prognostic factor. In clinical samples, PAK1 clearly correlated with immunosuppressive microenvironment in ccRCC tissues. Significantly, PAK1 positively correlated with Tumor-infiltrating regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs). Furthermore, IL-10+ and TGF-β+ tumor-infiltrating Tregs both increased in PAK1 high tumors. Additionally, CCL22 was highly secreted in PAK1 high tumors. After treated by IPA-3 (an PAK1 inhibitor), CCL22 secretion was clearly inhibited (p<0.001). Finally, we built a nomogram to predict overall survival for ccRCC patients with higher predictive accuracy. Conclusions: Increased PAK1 expression predicted dismal prognosis in ccRCC patients by inducing tumor immune escape. IL-10+ and TGF-β+ tumor-infiltrating Tregs recruited by CCL22 play dominant immunosuppressive roles in PAK1 high tumors.
