Zhu YF, Liu ML, Zheng WT, Fu F, Xue ES, Fan XQ, Zhang HP, Lian GT, Ye Q. Predictive Model of CK7 Expression in Patients With Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma by Combined Multimodal Ultrasound Diagnostic Techniques: A Retrospective Study. ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2024; 50:520-527. [PMID: 38281886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the work described here was to develop and validate a predictive model for cytokeratin 7 (CK7) expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients by combining multimodal ultrasound diagnostic techniques. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 157 surgically confirmed ccRCC patients. All patients underwent pre-operative multimodal ultrasound diagnostic examinations, including B-mode ultrasound (US), color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The patients were randomly divided into a training group (103 cases) and a testing group (54 cases). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in the training group to identify independent indicators associated with CK7 positivity. These indicators were included in the predictive model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model's discriminative ability and accuracy. Decision curve analysis (DCA) and nomogram visualization were used to assess the clinical utility of the predictive model. RESULTS Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that US and CDFI observations were not correlated with CK7 expression and could not predict it. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.953, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.909-0.999), wash-in pattern (OR = 0.180, 95% CI: 0.063-0.513) and enhancement homogeneity (OR = 11.610, 95% CI: 1.394-96.675) as independent factors related to CK7 positivity in ccRCC. Incorporating these variables into the predictive model resulted in areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.812 (95% CI: 0.711-0.913) for the training group and 0.792 (95% CI: 0.667-0.924) for the testing group. The calibration curve and DCA revealed that the model had good accuracy and clinical utility of the model. CONCLUSION The combination of multimodal ultrasound diagnostic techniques in constructing a predictive model for CK7 expression in ccRCC patients has significant predictive value.

Genetically driven predisposition leads to an unusually genomic unstable renal cell carcinoma. Discov Oncol 2024; 15:80.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma originates from the lining of the proximal convoluted renal tubule and represents the most common type of kidney cancer. Risk factors and comorbidities might be associated to renal cell carcinoma, while a small fraction of 2-3% emerges from patients with predisposing cancer syndromes, typically associated to hereditary mutations in VHL, folliculin, fumarate hydratase or MET genes. Here, we report a case of renal cell carcinoma in patient with concurrent germline mutations in BRCA1 and RAD51 genes. This case displays an unusual high mutational burden and chromosomal aberrations compared to the typical profile of renal cell carcinoma. Mutational analysis on whole genome sequencing revealed an enrichment of the MMR2 mutational signature, which is indicative of impaired DNA repair capacity. Overall, the tumor displayed a profile of unusual high genomic instability which suggests a possible origin from germline predisposing mutations in the DNA repair genes BRCA1 and RAD51. While BRCA1 and RAD51 germline mutations are well-characterised in breast and ovarian cancer, their role in renal cell carcinoma is still largely unexplored. The genomic instability detected in this case of renal cell carcinoma, along with the presence of unusual mutations, might offer support to clinicians for the development of patient-tailored therapies.

Altered cytoplasmic and nuclear ADP-ribosylation levels analyzed with an improved ADP-ribose binder are a prognostic factor in renal cell carcinoma. J Pathol Clin Res 2023; 9:273-284. [PMID: 36999983 PMCID: PMC10240151 DOI: 10.1002/cjp2.320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023]
Abstract
ADP-ribosylation (ADPR) of proteins is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases, which are targeted by inhibitors (i.e. poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors [PARPi]). Although renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells are sensitive in vitro to PARPi, studies on the association between ADPR levels and somatic loss of function mutations in DNA damage repair genes are currently missing. Here we observed, in two clear cell RCC (ccRCC) patient cohorts (n = 257 and n = 241) stained with an engineered ADP-ribose binding macrodomain (eAf1521), that decreased cytoplasmic ADPR (cyADPR) levels significantly correlated with late tumor stage, high-ISUP (the International Society of Urological Pathology) grade, presence of necrosis, dense lymphocyte infiltration, and worse patient survival (p < 0.01 each). cyADPR proved to be an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.001). Comparably, absence of nuclear ADPR staining in ccRCC correlated with absence of PARP1 staining (p < 0.01) and worse patient outcome (p < 0.05). In papillary RCC the absence of cyADPR was also significantly associated with tumor progression and worse patient outcome (p < 0.05 each). To interrogate whether the ADPR status could be associated with genetic alterations in DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, and histone modulation, we performed DNA sequence analysis and identified a significant association of increased ARID1A mutations in ccRCCcyADPR+++/PARP1+ compared with ccRCCcyADPR-/PARP1- (31% versus 4%; p < 0.05). Collectively, our data suggest the prognostic value of nuclear and cytoplasmic ADPR levels in RCC that might be further influenced by genetic alterations.

Abstract
To investigate the role of patient-derived organoid (PDO) model in the precision medicine of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of seven cases of ccRCC diagnosed by operation and pathology in Renji Hospital from September 2021 to September 2022. The seven patients were diagnosed with advanced ccRCC with or without remote metastasis. Cytoreductive and radical nephrectomy was performed respectively. To predict the response to immunotherapy and provide personalized medicine recommendation, a PDO model based on air-liquid interface system was established from the surgical resected tumor and subsequent drug screening was performed. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry revealed that the PDO recapitulated the histological feature of parent tumor. Immunofluorescence staining identified that CD3+ T cells, SMA+ cancer associated fibroblasts, and CD31+ endothelial cells were preserved in PDO models. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) revealed an evidently increased ratio of CD8+/CD4+ T cells and apoptotic tumor cells in PDO treated with toripalimab than those treated with IgG4. The results showed that toripalimab is able to rescue the excessive death of CD8+ T cells by critically reversing the immune exhaustion state of ccRCC in PDO model. This research validated that PDO is a promising and faithful preclinical model for prediction of immunotherapy response in patients with ccRCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Germline mutations represent a high risk of hereditary cancers in population. The landscape and characteristics of germline mutations in genitourinary cancer are largely unknown, and their correlation with patient prognosis has not been defined. METHODS Variant data and relevant clinical data of 10,389 cancer patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was downloaded. The subset of data of 206 genitourinary cancer patients containing bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), kidney chromophobe carcinoma (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) and prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) cancer with germline mutation information was filtered for further analysis. Variants were classified into pathogenic, likely pathogenic and non-pathogenic categories based on American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database was used to assist risk analysis. RESULTS There were 48, 7, 44, 45 and 62 patients with germline mutations identified in BLCA, KICH, KIRC, KIRP and PRAD, respectively. Pathogenic germline mutations from 26 genes and likely pathogenic mutations from 33 genes were revealed. GJB2, MET, MUTYH and VHL mutations ranked top in kidney cancers, and ATM and CHEK2 mutations ranked top for bladder cancer, while ATM and BRCA1 mutations ranked top for prostate cancer. Frameshift, stop gained and missense mutations were the predominant mutation types. BLCA exhibited the highest ratio of stop gained mutations (22/48 = 45.8%). No difference in patient age was found among pathogenic, likely pathogenic and non-pathogenic groups for all cancer types. The number of male patients far overweight female patients whether PRAD was included (P = 0) or excluded (P < 0.001). Patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline mutations exhibited significantly worse overall survival rate than the non-pathogenic group for all genitourinary cancers. More important, analyses assisted by gnomAD database revealed that pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline mutations significantly increased the risk for genitourinary cancer in population, with the odds ratio at 14.88 (95%CI 11.80-18.77) and 33.18 (95%CI 24.90-44.20), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The germline mutational status for genitourinary cancers has been comprehensively characterized. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic germline mutations increased the risk and indicated poor prognosis of genitourinary cancers.

Abstract
Background Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (ERBB2) expression is a critical factor for the prognosis of various cancers. ERBB2 enrichment indicates a poor prognosis in some cancer types but could be a favorable prognostic factor in others. Methods We analyzed DNA methylation, mRNA, protein, immune cell infiltration, and related signaling pathways using TIMER2.0, GEPIA2, STRING, and UALCAN portal datasets in tumor tissues of diverse cancer types and their matched normal tissues. Results ERBB2 promoter demethylation increases transcript protein amplification and promotes a poor prognosis for cancer patients. ERBB2 gain-of-function procures immune cell infiltration for tumor growth and drives away T regulatory cells, which suppress or downregulate induction and proliferation of effector T cells. The downstream signaling pathways, such as tumor proliferation, ECM-related genes, and degradation of ECM, are involved in ERBB2 gene demethylation and immune activation in cancer progression. Conclusion ERBB2 gene demethylation leads to a poor prognosis in cancer patients, which is strongly influenced by the composition and abundance of tumor immune cell infiltration. ERBB2 demethylation could be used in clinical practice to identify immune profiles and direct therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical utility of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as a biomarker for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. We evaluated the validity of cfDNA-based genomic profiling in a large cohort of patients with ccRCC with matched next-generation sequencing (NGS) from primary tumor tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed paired NGS of tumor DNA and plasma cfDNA using the MSK-IMPACT platform in 110 patients with metastatic ccRCC. Tissues were profiled for variants and copy number alterations with germline comparison. Manual cross-genotyping between cfDNA and tumor tissue was performed. Deep sequencing with a higher sensitivity platform, MSK-ACCESS, was performed on a subset of cfDNA samples. Clinical data and radiographic tumor volumes were assessed to correlate cfDNA yield with treatment response and disease burden. RESULTS Tumor tissue MSK-IMPACT testing identified 582 genomic alterations (GAs) across the cohort. Using standard thresholds for de novo variant calling in cfDNA, only 24 GAs were found by MSK-IMPACT in cfDNA in 7 of 110 patients (6%). With manual cross-genotyping, 210 GAs were detectable below thresholds in 74 patients (67%). Intrapatient concordance with tumor tissue was limited, including VHL (31.6%), PBRM1 (24.1%), and TP53 (52.9%). cfDNA profiling did not identify 3p loss because of low tumor fractions. Tumor volume was associated with cfDNA allele frequency, and VHL concordance was superior for patients with greater disease burden. CONCLUSION cfDNA-based NGS profiling yielded low detection rates in this metastatic ccRCC cohort. Concordance with tumor profiling was low, even for truncal mutations such as VHL, and some findings in peripheral blood may represent clonal hematopoiesis. Routine cfDNA panel testing is not supported, and its application in biomarker efforts must account for these limitations.

Long-Term Cardiac Disease- and Cancer-Associated Mortalities in Patients With Non-Metastatic Stomach Adenocarcinoma Receiving Resection and Chemotherapy: A Large Competing-Risk Population-Based Cohort Study. World J Oncol 2022; 13:69-83. [PMID: 35571338 PMCID: PMC9076150 DOI: 10.14740/wjon1445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The survival of patients with non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (nmGaC), who are receiving more and more frequently chemotherapy, has improved throughout the last decades, while treatment-caused cardiotoxicity remains a major concern. This study aimed to investigate competing causes of mortality and prognostic factors within a large cohort of patients with resected nmGaC, and to describe the heart-specific mortalities of patients undergoing resection and chemotherapy and of all resected patients. Methods In this population-based cohort study, data on patients diagnosed with nmGaC from 2004 through 2016, managed with resection with or without chemotherapy, followed up until the end of 2016, and surviving ≥ 1 month were retrieved from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-18 Program. Cumulative mortality functions were calculated. Prognostic factors for heart- and cancer-specific mortalities were evaluated using both multivariable-adjusted Fine-Gray subdistribution and cause-specific hazard functions. Results Together 21,257 patients with resected nmGaC were eligible for analysis with an accumulated follow-up of 73,711 person-years, where 10,718 (50%) also underwent chemotherapy. Mortalities were overestimated when using the Kaplan-Meier method. Heart diseases were the most common non-cancer cause of mortality. Compared with all resected patients, heart-specific mortality of those also receiving chemotherapy was lower overall and especially at older ages. In the total group of patients, the 8-year cumulative mortalities from heart diseases were 4.4% and 2.0% in resected patients and those also receiving chemotherapy, respectively; in patients ≥ 80 years, the heart disease-specific mortalities were as high as 11.1% and 6.5%, respectively. In overall patients undergoing resection, older ages, black ethnicity, and location at gastric antrum/pylorus were associated with increased heart-specific mortality, while more recent period, female sex, Asian/Pacific Islanders, invasion of serosa, and more positive lymph nodes were associated with lower heart-specific mortality; among those further receiving chemotherapy, only the associations with period of diagnosis, age, and ethnicity were significant. Associations with older ages were stronger for heart-specific mortality than for cancer-associated mortality. Conclusions Among survivors with resected nmGaC receiving chemotherapy, heart-specific mortality, the most common one among non-cancer causes of mortality, is not higher compared to overall resected patients in this observational study, suggesting that chemotherapy may be relatively safely administered to selected patients under strict indications. Age and ethnicity were major factors associated with heart-specific mortality in both overall resected patients and those further receiving chemotherapy. Overall and stratified cause-specific cumulative incidences of mortality are provided, which can be more clinically useful than the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Our study provides clinically useful evidence for tailored patient management.
