Metabolomics analysis possibly identifies new therapeutic targets in treatment resistance by measuring changes in metabolites accompanying cancer progression. We previously conducted a global metabolomics (G-Met) study of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and identified metabolites that may be involved in sunitinib resistance in RCC. Here, we aimed to elucidate possible mechanisms of sunitinib resistance in RCC through intracellular metabolites. We established sunitinib-resistant and control RCC cell lines from tumor tissues of RCC cell (786-O)-injected mice. We also quantified characteristic metabolites identified in our G-Met study to compare intracellular metabolism between the two cell lines using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The established sunitinib-resistant RCC cell line demonstrated significantly desuppressed protein kinase B (Akt) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) phosphorylation compared with the control RCC cell line under sunitinib exposure. Among identified metabolites, glutamine, glutamic acid, and α-KG (involved in glutamine uptake into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for energy metabolism); fructose 6-phosphate, D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate, and glucose 1-phosphate (involved in increased glycolysis and its intermediate metabolites); and glutathione and myoinositol (antioxidant effects) were significantly increased in the sunitinib-resistant RCC cell line. Particularly, glutamine transporter (SLC1A5) expression was significantly increased in sunitinib-resistant RCC cells compared with control cells. In this study, we demonstrated energy metabolism with glutamine uptake and glycolysis upregulation, as well as antioxidant activity, was also associated with sunitinib resistance in RCC cells.

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.

Abstract Background: SPOP, a substrate adaptor of Cul3 ubiquitin ligase, plays crucial roles in solid neoplasms by promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of substrates. Limited studies have shown that SPOP is overexpressed in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissue. However, the exact role of SPOP in RCC remains unclear and needs to be further elucidated. The present study showed that SPOP was expressed at different levels in different RCC cell lines. The purpose of this study was to explore the roles of SPOP in the biological features of RCC cells and determine the expression levels of SPOP in human tissue microarrays (TMAs) and kidney tissues.Methods: Here, SPOP was overexpressed by lentiviral vector transfection in ACHN and Caki-1 cells, and SPOP was knocked down in Caki-2 cells with similar transfection methods. The transfection efficiency was evaluated by quantitative PCR and western blotting analyses. The role of SPOP in the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of cell lines was determined by the MTT, wound-healing, Transwell and flow cytometry assays. Moreover, the cells were treated with different drug concentrations in proliferation and apoptosis assays to investigate the effect of sunitinib and IFN-α2b on the proliferation and apoptosis of SPOP-overexpressing cells and SPOP-knockdown RCC cells. Finally, immunohistochemical staining of SPOP was performed in kidney tissues and TMAs, which included RCC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues.Results: Overexpression of SPOP inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion and increased cell apoptosis. Interestingly, sunitinib and IFN-α2b at several concentrations increased the proliferation inhibitory rate and total apoptosis rate of cells overexpressing SPOP. The findings of the present study showed that the SPOP protein was significantly expressed at low levels in most clear cell RCC (ccRCC) tissues and at relatively high levels in the majority of adjacent normal tissues and kidney tissues. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in cumulative survival based on the data of different SPOP expression levels in TMA and patients.Conclusions: In contrast to previous studies, our findings demonstrated that overexpression of SPOP might suppress the progression of RCC cells, which was supported by cell experiments and immunohistochemical staining. SPOP could be a potential tumour inhibitor in RCC.

Abstract Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are most abundant in stroma and are critically involved in cancer progression. However, the specific signature of CAFs and related clinicopathological parameters in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unclear. Methods: In this work, methods using recognized gene signatures were employed to roughly assess the infiltration level of the stroma and CAFs in RCC based on the data in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to cluster transcriptomes and correlate with CAFs to identify specific markers. A comparison of fibroblast versus urothelial carcinoma cell lines and correlation with previously reported CAF markers were performed to demonstrate the specific expressed of the gene signature. The gene signature was used to compare fibroblast infiltration of each sample through single sample gene set enrichment analysis, and the clinical significance of fibroblasts was analyzed via Cox risk assessment and the chi-square test. Finally, we used validation data to verify the clinical significance of the fibroblast gene signature in RCC. Results: Roughly calculated tumor matrix and CAF levels were significantly higher in kidney cancer than in normal tissues. More than 85% of fibroblast-specific markers identified by WGCNA were consistent with markers obtained via single-cell sequencing. These markers were more highly expressed in fibroblast cell lines and were significantly correlated with canonical CAFs makers. Data validation also showed that CAFs were significant correlation with survival and pathological grade. Conclusions: In summary, our findings indicate that the gene signature potentially serves as a biomarker of CAFs in RCC and that infiltration of fibroblasts in RCC is an independent prognostic factor associated with pathological grade and stage of tumor. The ability to recognize specific CAF markers using WGCNA is comparable to single-cell sequencing.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Activins and inhibins are structurally related dimeric glycoprotein hormones belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily but whether they are also involved in malignancy is far from clear. No study has reported the expression of INHBE in kidney cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the expressions of INHBE in the tumor tissue of patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to explore the pathologic significance. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The INHBE mRNA expression in the tumor tissue of ccRCC patients was analyzed by using RNA sequencing data from the TCGA database. To examine the expression of inhibin βE protein, 241 ccRCC patients were recruited and immunohistochemistry was performed on the tumor tissue of these patients along with 39 normal renal samples. The association between the inhibin βE expression level and patient’s clinicopathological indices was evaluated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In the normal renal tissue, inhibin βE was found to be expressed mainly by renal tubular epithelial cells. In the tumor tissue, inhibin βE was expressed mainly in cancer cells. The expressions of INHBE mRNA and protein in the tumor tissue of ccRCC patients increased significantly compared with those in normal renal samples. There was a significant correlation between the level of inhibin βE in the tumor tissue and tumor grade. Patients with a lower inhibin βE expression in the tumor tissue were found to have a longer overall survival and disease-specific survival. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> INHBE might be involved in the pathogenesis of ccRCC and function as a tumor promoter.
