CNV data from 133 ccRCC samples

ABSTRACT: Approximately 70% of clear cell renal cell carcinoma are characterised by the biallelic inactivation of VHL on chromosome 3p. ELOC-mutated renal cell carcinoma with biallelic ELOC inactivation on chromosome 8q are considered a novel subtype of renal cancer possessing a morphological overlap with ccRCC; however, the frequency and consequences of ELOC alterations in wtVHL and mutVHL is unclear. In this study, we characterise 123 renal tumours with clear cell morphology with known VHL mutation status to assess morphological and molecular consequences of ELOC inactivation. Using Oncoscan and whole exome sequencing we identify 18 ELOC deleted RCC, three of which contain ELOC mutations resulting in the biallelic inactivation of ELOC. Biallelic ELOC and biallelic VHL aberrations were mutually exclusive, although two ELOC-mutated RCC showed monoallelic VHL alterations. Using High Ambiguity Driven Biomolecular Docking we report a novel ELOC variant containing a duplication event disrupting ELOC-pVHL interaction alongside the frequently seen Y79C alteration. Using HRM mass spectrometry we show RCC with biallelic ELOC alterations have significantly reduced ELOC expression but similar CAIX and VEGFA expression when compared to classical ccRCC with VHL inactivation. These data demonstrate that RCC with ELOC and VHL alterations have comparable downstream effects with similar pathways to ccRCC tumourigenesis indicating that both entities are closely related.

Project description:Altered metabolism is an important part of malignant transformation of tumor cells. Oncogenic transformation may reprogram tumor metabolism and render tumor cells addicted to extracellular nutrients. Such nutrient addictions associated with oncogenic mutations may offer therapeutic opportunities; however, it remains difficult to predict these nutrient addictions. Here, we performed a nutrigenetic screen to determine the phenotypes of isogenic pairs of clear-cell renal cancer cells (ccRCC) with or without VHL upon the deprivation of individual amino acids. We identified that cystine deprivation triggered rapid programmed necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC, but not in their VHL-restored counterparts. Similar cystine addiction was also observed in VHL-deficient primary RCC tumors cells. Blockage of cystine uptake significantly delayed xenograft growth of ccRCC. Importantly, cystine deprivation triggered similar metabolic changes regardless of VHL status. Therefore, metabolic differences due to cystine deprivation are not different enough to readily explain the distinct fate of life vs. death in VHL-deficient and restored cell.. Instead, we found that increased levels of TNFÎ± associated with VHL loss in the VHL-deficient RCC force them to rely on intact RIPK1 to inhibit apoptosis. However, this pre-existing elevated TNFÎ± in the VHL-deficient ccRCC renders these cells susceptible to the necrosis signaling triggered by cystine deprivation. In addition, we identified that cystine-deprived necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC depends on reciprocal amplification of the Src-p38-Noxa signaling and TNFÎ±-RIP1/3-MLKL necrosis pathways that culminate in MLKL oligomerization and programmed necrosis. Together, our data reveal that the contextual cystine-addictions in VHL-deficient ccRCC is dependent on activating pre-existing oncogenic pathways to trigger programmed necrosis. RNA was extracted by RNAeasy kits (Qiagen) from the RCC4 Vec and VHL-reconstituted cells which were exposed to the control full DMEM or cystine deprived DMEM media for 6 hours (three replicates in each condition).
