AbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to exert important roles in tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). PVT1 is an important oncogenic lncRNA which has critical effects on onset and development of various cancers, however, the underlying mechanism of PVT1 functioning in ccRCC remains largely unknown. VHL deficiency-induced HIF2α accumulation is one of the major factors for ccRCC. Here, we identified the potential molecular mechanism of PVT1 in promoting ccRCC development by stabilizing HIF2α. PVT1 was significantly upregulated in ccRCC tissues and high PVT1 expression was associated with poor prognosis of ccRCC patients. Both gain-of-function and loss-of function experiments revealed that PVT1 enhanced ccRCC cells proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced tumor angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PVT1 interacted with HIF2α protein and enhanced its stability by protecting it from ubiquitination-dependent degradation, thereby exerting its biological significance. Meanwhile, HIF2α bound to the enhancer of PVT1 to transactivate its expression. Furthermore, HIF2α specific inhibitor could repress PVT1 expression and its oncogenic functions. Therefore, our study demonstrates that the PVT1/ HIF2α positive feedback loop involves in tumorigenesis and progression of ccRCC, which may be exploited for anticancer therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate if IgG can be expressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cRCC) , and the expression of IgG is involved in the cancer progression. If IgG expression can serve as a potential target in cancer therapies and be used for judging the prognosis.MATERIALS AND METHODS:By immunohistochemistry, we detected IgG in cRCC tissues(75 cRCC tissues and75 adjacent normal kidney tissues). Immunofluorescence and Western blot was used to detect the IgG in cRCC cell lines (786-0, ACHN and CAKI-I). By RT-PCR, the functional transcript of IgG heavy chain was detected. Knockdown of IgG was to analyze the proliferation, migration and invasion ability by CCK8, Transwell and Matrigel and apoptosis in cRCC cell lines.RESULTS:By immunohistochemistry, we found strong staining of IgG in 66 cases of 75 cRCC tissues and 63 cases of 75 adjacent normal kidney tissues. Immunofluorescence and Western blot was found IgG in cRCC cell lines. Knock-down IgG in cRCC cell lines resulted in significant inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and the induction of apoptosis of the 786-0 cells. The immunohistochemistry analysis showed that high IgG expression significantly correlated with the poor differentiation and advanced stage of cRCC.CONCLUSION:IgG was over expressed in cRCC and was involved in the proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells. IgG expression may serve as a potential target in cancer therapies and could be used for judging the prognosis.

Background/Aims: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new regulators and biomarkers in several cancers. However, few lncRNAs have been well characterized in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: We investigated the lncRNA expression profile by microarray analysis in 5 corresponding ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Lung cancer–associated transcript 1 (LUCAT1) expression was examined in 90 paired ccRCC tissues by real-time PCR and validated by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to examine the prognostic value of LUCAT1 and CXCL2 in ccRCC patients. Loss and gain of function were performed to explore the effect of LUCAT1 on proliferation and invasion in ccRCC cells. Western blotting was performed to evaluate the underlying mechanisms of LUCAT1 in ccRCC progression. Chemokine stimulation assay was performed to investigate possible mechanisms controlling LUCAT1 expression in ccRCC cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to determine serum CXCL2 in ccRCC patients and healthy volunteers. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to examine the clinical diagnostic value of serum CXCL2 in ccRCC. Results: We found that LUCAT1 was significantly upregulated in both clinical ccRCC tissues (n = 90) and TCGA ccRCC tissues (n = 448) compared with normal tissues. Statistical analysis revealed that the LUCAT1 expression level positively correlated with tumor T stage (P < 0.01), M stage (P < 0.01), and TNM stage (P < 0.01). Overall survival and disease-free survival time were significantly shorter in the high-LUCAT1-expression group than in the low-LUCAT1-expression group (log-rank P < 0.01). LUCAT1 knockdown inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation and colony formation, induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, and inhibited cell migration and invasion. Overexpression of LUCAT1 promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells. Mechanistic investigations showed that LUCAT1 induced cell cycle G1 arrest by regulating the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 4, and phosphorylated retinoblastoma transcriptional corepressor 1. Moreover, LUCAT1 promoted proliferation and invasion in ccRCC cells partly through inducing the phosphorylation of AKT and suppressing the phosphorylation of GSK-3β. We also revealed that chemokine CXCL2, upregulated in ccRCC, induced LUCAT1 expression and might be a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in ccRCC. Conclusions: LUCAT1 was upregulated in ccRCC tissues and renal cancer cell lines, and significantly correlated with malignant stage and poor prognosis in ccRCC. LUCAT1 promoted proliferation and invasion in ccRCC cells through the AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway. We also revealed that LUCAT1 overexpression was induced by chemokine CXCL2. These findings indicate that the CXCL2/LUCAT1/AKT/GSK-3β axis is a potential therapeutic target and molecular biomarker for ccRCC.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the prominent histological subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with high incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis. It has been documented that circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) play crucial roles in the development of cancers; however, study on exploring the role of circRNAs in ccRCC still remains limited. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the biological function of a novel circRNA UBAP2 (circUBAP2) in ccRCC and the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that circUBAP2 expression was significantly down-regulated in ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of circUBAP2 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells. MiR-148a-3p was a target miRNA of circUBAP2 in ccRCC cells, and its expression levels in ccRCC tissues and cell lines were negatively correlated with circUBAP2 levels. Moreover, miR-148a-3p reversed the inhibitory effects of circUBAP2 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in ccRCC cells. Additionally, forkhead box K2 (FOXK2) was found to be a target gene of miR-148a-3p and regulated by miR-148a-3p in ccRCC cells. Furthermore, knockdown of FOXK2 reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-148a-3p inhibitor on ccRCC cells. In conclusion, these findings indicated that circUBAP2 functioned as a novel tumor suppressor in ccRCC through regulating the miR-148a-3p/FOXK2 axis. Therefore, circUBAP2 might serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ccRCC.

OBJECTIVE: Sirtuins family are defined as class III histone deacetylases (HDACs). Recently, mammalian silent information regulator two 4 (SIRT4) has been reported to be a tumor suppressor gene in multiple cancers. The objective of the present study was to explore the potential role of SIRT4 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS: We estimated SIRT4 expression levels in ccRCC and its adjacent non-neoplastic tissue by Western blotting (WB), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and bioinformatics data, the clinical and survival data were also collected and analyzed. In vitro study, ccRCC cell lines were transfected with SIRT4-siRNA or lentivirus to downregulate or overexpress the expression level of SIRT4. Then, the proliferation capacity of tumor cell was assessed by 5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EDU) assay, cell migration and invasion capacity were assessed by Transwell assays. RESULTS: Our results indicated that the expression level of SIRT4 in ccRCC was significantly lower than the corresponding normal tissues (P< 0.001). Meanwhile, bioinformatics data and the result of WB showed that low SIRT4 expression level was obviously involved with poor overall survival and advanced tumor stage in ccRCC patients. Biological experiments demonstrated that overexpression of SIRT4 significantly reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of ccRCC cells. Conversely, downregulation of SIRT4 enhanced the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of ccRCC cells. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support that SIRT4 acts as a tumor suppressor in ccRCC and might be a novel biomarker and new therapeutic target for ccRCC.
