MCPIP1 contributes to clear cell renal cell carcinomas development.

ABSTRACT: Monocyte Chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), also known as Regnase-1, is encoded by the ZC3H12a gene, and it mediates inflammatory processes by regulating the stability of transcripts coding for proinflammatory cytokines and controlling activity of transcription factors, such as NF-?B and AP1. We found that MCPIP1 transcript and protein levels are strongly downregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) samples, which were derived from patients surgically treated for renal cancer compared to surrounded normal tissues. Using Caki-1 cells as a model, we analyzed the role of MCPIP1 in cancer development. We showed that MCPIP1 expression depends on the proteasome activity; however, hypoxia and hypoxia inducible factor 2 alfa (HIF2?) are key factors lowering MCPIP1 expression. Furthermore, we found that MCPIP1 negatively regulates HIF1? and HIF2? levels and in the case of the last one, the mechanism is based on the regulation of the half time of transcript coding for HIF2?. Enhanced expression of MCPIP1 in Caki-1 cells results in a downregulation of transcripts encoding VEGFA, GLUT1, and IL-6. Furthermore, MCPIP1 decreases the activity of mTOR and protein kinase B (Akt) in normoxic conditions. Taken together, MCPIP1 contributes to the ccRCC development.

Project description:Sarcomatoid transformation, wherein an epithelioid carcinomatous tumour component coexists with a sarcomatoid histology, is a predictor of poor prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Our understanding of sarcomatoid change has been hindered by the lack of molecular examination. Thus, we sought to characterize molecularly the biphasic epithelioid and sarcomatoid components of sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma and compare them to non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We examined the transcriptome of the epithelioid and sarcomatoid components of advanced stage sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n=43) and non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n=37) from independent discovery and validation cohorts using the cDNA microarray and RNA-seq platforms. We analyzed DNA copy number profiles, generated using SNP arrays, from patients with sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n=10) and advanced non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n=155). The epithelioid and sarcomatoid components of sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma had similar gene expression and DNA copy number signatures that were, however, distinct from those of high-grade, high-stage non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Prognostic clear cell renal cell carcinoma gene expression profiles were shared by the biphasic components of sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma and the sarcomatoid component showed a partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition signature. Our genome-scale microarray-based transcript data were validated in an independent set of sarcomatoid and non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinomas using RNA-seq. Sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma is molecularly distinct from non-sarcomatoid clear cell renal cell carcinoma, with its genetic programming largely shared by its biphasic morphological components. These data explain why a low percentage of sarcomatoid histology augurs a poor prognosis; suggest the need to modify the pathological grading system and introduce the potential for candidate biomarkers to detect sarcomatoid change preoperatively without specifically sampling the histological sarcomatoid component.

Project description:BackgroundNa+/H+ exchanger (NHE) maintains the alkaline pH of epithelial cells working at the cellular membrane and exchanging H+/Na+ ions. In renal tubular epithelial cells, the reabsorption of NaCl is implemented by NHE3 isoform, which is regulated by NHE regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1). Normally situated at the apical zones of proximal tubular cells, NHERF1 participates in cytoskeletal reorganization and signal transduction facilitating structural stability and ion exchange. Based on an extensive search in English literature, NHERF1/EBP50 immunoexpression has been studied in breast, colon, and other tumors with only one study on 21 cases of renal cell carcinomas (RCC).MethodsUsing NHERF1/EBP50 immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 64 (82%) RCCs (34 clear cells, 21 papillary and 9 chromophobe types) and 14 (18%) oncocytomas, we evaluated and scored NHERF1/EBP50 immunoexpression depending on the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading system followed by ultrastructural identification of microlumen-like structures (MLS) in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC).ResultsStaining patterns varied throughout the tumors and within individual tumors. Only ccRCC showed unique MLS within the cytoplasm of tumor cells. All neoplasia-transformed tubular cells, regardless of the tumor grade and stage, had altered immunoexpression of NHERF1/EBP50 ranging from complete absence to aberrant expression in the luminal cell membrane, nuclear or cytoplasmic localizations.ConclusionsOnly ccRCC showed unique dot-like condensations of immunostaining/MLS at membranous, submembranous, and paranuclear localizations. The latter two localizations were mainly observed in the combined WHO/ISUP grade 1 and 2 group compared to the combined group of grade 3 and 4 tumor samples (P=0.0146 and P<0.0001, respectively). Ultrastructurally, the MLS were identified as thick microvilli trapped by a single-layer membrane, displaced into the cytoplasm and ranging from 400 nm to 3.5 µm. These significant ultrastructural reorganizations may contribute to tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play critical roles in the development of cancers. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) accounts for 75% of the RCC. The previous studies on the RTKs in ccRCCs mainly focused on their gene expressions. The activation and function of the RTKs in ccRCC have not been fully investigated. METHODS:In the present study, we analyzed the phosphorylation patterns of RTKs in human ccRCC patient samples, human ccRCC and papillary RCC cell lines, and other kidney tumor samples using human phospho-RTK arrays. We further established ccRCC patient-derived xenograft models in nude mice and assessed the effects of RTKIs (RTK Inhibitors) on the growth of these cancer cells. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the localization of keratin, vimentin and PDGFRβ in ccRCCs. RESULTS:We found that the RTK phosphorylation patterns of the ccRCC samples were all very similar, but different from that of the cell lines, other kidney tumor samples, as well as the adjacent normal tissues. 9 RTKs, EGFR1-3, Insulin R, PDGFRβ, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, HGFR and M-CSFR were found to be phosphorylated in the ccRCC samples. The adjacent normal tissues, on the other hand, had predominantly only two of the 4 EGFR family members, EGFR and ErbB4, phosphorylated. What's more, the RTK phosphorylation pattern of the xenograft, however, was different from that of the primary tissue samples. Treatment of the xenograft nude mice with corresponding RTK inhibitors effectively inhibited the Erk1/2 signaling pathway as well as the growth of the tumors. In addition, histological staining of the cancer samples revealed that most of the PDGFRβ expressing cells were localized in the vimentin-positive periepithelial stroma. CONCLUSIONS:Overall, we have identified a set of RTKs that are characteristically phosphorylated in ccRCCs. The phosphorylation of RTKs in ccRCCs were determined by the growing environments. These phosphorylated/activated RTKs will guide targeting drugs development of more effective therapies in ccRCCs. The synergistical inhibition of RTKIs combination on the ccRCC suggest a novel strategy to use a combination of RTKIs to treat ccRCCs.
