10568 Background: Adrenomedullin (AM) is a 52 amino acid peptide that has an important role on tumor cell proliferation and neoangiogenesis through its receptors CRLR/RAMP2 and CRLR/RAMP3. AM gene expression is stimulated by Hypoxia Inductible Factor-1 (HIF- 1) and 60–80% of the human conventional renal carcinomas (cRCC) display mutations in the tumor suppressor protein von Hippel-Lindau, which leads to constitutively elevated HIF-1. Methods: Tumors and non-malignant kidney tissues were obtained from patients who underwent unilateral nephrectomy. We studied VEGFA, AM and its receptors expression by quantitative RT-PCR in 62 frozen renal tumors including: 40 cRCC; 5 cRCC metastasis; 5 chromophobe carcinomas; 5 Papillary carcinomas; 2 oncocytomas; 2 collecting duct carcinomas; 2 normal adjacent renal tissue; 1 unclassified renal tumor. AM and AM-receptors expression was studied in 42 paraffin-embedded renal tumors by immunohistochemistry using rabbit anti-AM, anti-CRLR, anti-RAMP2 and anti-RAMP3 polyclonal antibodies. Effects of these anti AM or anti AM- receptors antibodies on cell proliferation were examined in vitro on BIZ cell line (cRCC cells). Results: VEGFA, AM and AM-receptors genes were overexpressed in cRCC compared to other renal tumors (Except AM gene in chromophobe carcinoma). Their expressions were independent of classical prognostic factors (such as Fuhrman Grade and pT status). In cRCC, there was a strong positive correlation between VEGF-A gene expression and AM (r=0.7; p=0.01) and AM-receptors genes expressions (RAMP2 r=0.61; p= 0.01 and RAMP3 r=0.58; p= 0.01). Immunohistochemistry confirmed a tumor expression of CRLR, RAMP2 and AM in more than 80% cRCC. RAMP3 was expressed by inflammatory cells but not by tumoral cells. The cell proliferation assay showed a significant inhibition of BIZ cell proliferation by AM antibody or AM-receptors antibodies. Conclusion: AM and its receptor CRLR/RAMP2 are overexpressed in cRCC. In vitro cell proliferation assay results support that AM inhibition may suppress cRCC growth, independently of potential antiangiogenic effects. Further studies on animal models are needed but AM pathway may be a potential therapeutic target in cRCC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) with estrogenic or estrogenic-like activity have been increasingly detected in aquatic environments and have been an issue of global concern due to their potential negative effects on wildlife and human health. This study used the MCF-7 cell proliferation assay (E-Screen) to assess the estrogenic activity profiles in Maryland Coastal Bays (MCBs), a eutrophic system of estuaries impacted by human activities. Estrogenic activity was observed in all study sites tested. Water samples from MCBs increased MCF-7 cell proliferation above the negative control from 2.1-fold at site 8, located in Sinepuxent Bay close to the Ocean City Inlet, to 6.3-fold at site 6, located in Newport Bay. The proliferative effects of the sediment samples over the negative control ranged from 1.9-fold at the Assateague Island National Seashore site to 7.7-fold at the Public Landing site. Moreover, elevated cell proliferation (p < 0.05) was observed when cells were co-exposed with 17ß-Estradiol (E2), while reduction in cell proliferation was observed when cells were co-exposed with the antagonist ICI 182, 780 suggesting that cell proliferative effects were primarily mediated by the estrogen receptor (ER). These results suggest the occurrence of some estrogenic or hormonal-like compounds in the MCBs and are consistent with our previous findings based on vitellogenin analyses.
