Classic Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma Incur a Larger Number of Chromosomal Losses Than Seen in the Eosinophilic Subtype.

ABSTRACT: Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is a renal tumor subtype with a good prognosis, characterized by multiple chromosomal copy number variations (CNV). The World Health Organization (WHO) chRCC classification guidelines define a classic and an eosinophilic variant. Large cells with reticular cytoplasm and prominent cell membranes (pale cells) are characteristic for classic chRCC. Classic and eosinophilic variants were defined in 42 Swiss chRCCs, 119 Japanese chRCCs and in whole-slide digital images of 66 chRCCs from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) kidney chromophobe (KICH) dataset. 32 of 42 (76.2%) Swiss chRCCs, 90 of 119 (75.6%) Japanese chRCCs and 53 of 66 (80.3%) TCGA-KICH were classic chRCCs. There was no survival difference between eosinophilic and classic chRCC in all three cohorts. To identify a genotype/phenotype correlation, we performed a genome-wide CNV analysis using Affymetrix OncoScan® CNV Assay (Affymetrix/Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in 33 Swiss chRCCs. TCGA-KICH subtypes were compared with TCGA CNV data. In the combined Swiss and TCGA-KICH cohorts, losses of chromosome 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, and 17 were significantly more frequent in classic chRCC (p < 0.05, each), suggesting that classic chRCC are characterized by higher chromosomal instability. This molecular difference justifies the definition of two chRCC variants. Absence of pale cells could be used as main histological criterion to define the eosinophilic variant of chRCC.

Project description:PurposeEosinophils may rise to a higher level in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD) both before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. A substantial body of research was carried out on the association between KD and allergic diseases. Eosinophils play an important role in type 2 inflammation. Recent studies have shown that there are two distinct subtypes of eosinophils. In addition to their role in inflammation, lung-resident eosinophils (rEOS) also regulate homeostasis. Inflammatory eosinophils (iEOS) reflect type 2 inflammation in tissues. iEOS were considered the primary eosinophils in non-severe allergic asthma, while rEOS were thought to be the primary eosinophils in severe non-allergic eosinophilic asthma. This case-control study aimed to investigate the marker expression of eosinophilic subtypes in KD patients.Materials and methodsThe marker expressions of eosinophilic subtypes in the leukocytes of patients with KD were evaluated by the recently established KDmarkers online tool, a web server including gene expression data. Finally, the results were validated with a quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We analyzed the mRNA expression levels of SELL and IL10RA in leukocytes from KD patients and febrile children.ResultsIncluded in our screening tools were transcriptome arrays, which provided clues showing the importance of rEOS, whose role was identified by three genes (lower IL10RA, higher SELL, and SERPINB1 than controls). In contrast, the iEOS representative gene CD101 was not elevated in KD. It was found that the gene IL10RA, a marker of inflammatory eosinophilic leukocytes, was more highly expressed in the leukocytes of KD patients (n = 43) than febrile controls (n = 32), especially those without coronary artery lesions (CAL) (n = 26). Before treatment, SELL expression was higher in leukocytes of CAL patients (CAL, 1.33 ± 0.18, n = 39; non-CAL, 0.87 ± 0.12, n = 55; p = 0.012). SELL was significantly higher after half a year compared to febrile controls.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that KD patients have increased SELL than febrile controls after 6 months of treatment. We present evidence here that dynamically different eosinophilic involvement exists between KD patients with and without CAL. The role of eosinophilic subtypes in KD patients warrants further investigation.
