HIF2-driven PTHrP Mediates Cachexia and Hypercalcemia in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Successful Treatment with HIF2 Inhibitors

ABSTRACT: Kidney cancer frequently causes paraneoplastic syndromes, including hypercalcemia and cachexia, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. The most common form of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, is frequently caused by loss of the pVHL tumor suppressor protein and the resulting upregulation of the HIF2 transcription factor. We show that PTHLH, which resides on a ccRCC amplicon on chromosome 12p, is a direct HIF2 transcriptional target in ccRCC. Further, we show that the increased PTHLH expression is both necessary and sufficient for the induction of hypercalcemia and cachexia in preclinical orthotopic cell line tumor models. Consistent with these observations, two different allosteric HIF2 inhibitors, belzutifan and NK-2152, rapidly ameliorated hypercalcemia and cachexia in ccRCC patients, including in patients who did not exhibit objective tumor shrinkage.

HIF-2-dependent Regulation of PTHrP and Paraneoplastic Hypercalcemia in Aggressive Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Hypercalcemia (HC) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients is associated with reduced survival. HC often involves PTHrP. PTHrP is induced by hypoxia, but whether HIF-2 plays a role in HC is unknown. Here we show that HC is reproduced by transplanting patient tumors (tumorgrafts, TG) in mice resulting in functional deterioration, weight loss, calcium deposition and organ damage. Treatment with PT2399, a specific HIF-2 inhibitor, rapidly normalized calcium levels, downregulated PTHrP and reduced HIF-2 binding to the PTHLH promoter. Interestingly, while the PTHLH locus was generally more accessible in TG(HC), PT2399 did not grossly affect chromatin accessibility, which was consistent with genome-wide studies where promoter accessibility was only reduced in a minority of PT2399-downregulated genes. As in TGs, paraneoplastic HC in humans was associated with clear cell histology and sarcomatoid/rhabdoid differentiation. Interestingly, HC (and PTHrP) was swiftly corrected by the related PT2977/belzutifan drug in a prospective patient with sarcomatoid ccRCC. Our data supports the evaluation of HIF-2 antagonists for ccRCC patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, which may serve as a predictive biomarker of response (along with PTHrP reduction).

Sustaining Cyclin D1 Expression Renders Kidney Cancer Cells HIF2-Independent

Project description:Inactivation of theVHLtumor suppressor gene stabilizes HIF2a, which drives clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). The HIF2ainhibitor belzutifan is approved for ccRCC treatment, butde novoand acquiredresistance are common. HIF2a, bound to ARNT, transcriptionally activates hundreds of genes. We performed genome-wide CRISPRa screens in HIF2a-dependent ccRCC lines treated with the belzutifan tool compound PT2399 to identify HIF2a-responsive genes that confer belzutifan resistance when not downregulated. Sustaining the expression of the HIF2atarget geneCCND1, encoding Cyclin D1, promoted HIF2a-independence/belzutifan resistance. This activity requires Cdk4/6 activation by Cyclin D1, but is not solely due to inhibitory phosphorylation of the canonical Cyclin D1 target, pRB. Indeed, ccRCC lines lacking all three pRB family members remained at least partially HIF2a-dependent. In this context. However, kinase-defective Cyclin D1 variants at least partially overrode belzutifan’s antiproliferative effects, suggesting that ccRCC promotion by Cyclin D1 requires the phosphorylation of pRB paralogs and one or more kinase-independent Cyclin D1 activities.

Towards a CRISPR-Based Mouse Model of Vhl-deficient Clear Cell Kidney Cancer: Initial Experience and Lessons Learned

Project description:CRISPR is revolutionizing the ability to do somatic gene editing in mice for the purpose of creating new cancer models. Inactivation of the VHL tumor suppressor gene is the signature initiating event in the most common form of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Such tumors are usually driven by the excessive HIF2 activity that arises when the VHL gene product, pVHL, is defective. Given the pressing need for a robust immunocompetent mouse model of human ccRCC, we directly injected adenovirus-associated viruses (AAVs) encoding sgRNAs against VHL and other known/suspected ccRCC tumor suppressor genes into the kidneys of C57BL/6 mice under conditions where Cas9 was under the control of one of two different kidney-specific promoters (Cdh16 or Pax8) to induce kidney tumors. An AAV targeting Vhl, Pbrm1, Keap1 and Tsc1 reproducibly caused macroscopic ccRCCs that partially resembled human ccRCC tumors with respect to transcriptome and cell of origin and responded to a ccRCC standard of care agent, axitinib. RNAseq analysis was utilized to evaluate the expression profile produced by the targeted loss of Vhl, Pbrm1, Keap1 and Tsc1 in these mouse tumors. Unfortunately, these tumors, like those produced by earlier genetically engineered mouse ccRCCs, are HIF2-independent.
