Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is a determinant of cancer progression and therapeutic efficacy, with nutrient availability playing an important role. Although it is established that the local abundance of specific nutrients defines the metabolic parameters for tumor growth, the factors guiding nutrient availability in tumor compared to normal tissue and blood remain poorly understood. To define these factors in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we performed quantitative metabolomic and comprehensive lipidomic analyses of tumor interstitial fluid (TIF), adjacent normal kidney interstitial fluid (KIF), and plasma samples collected from patients. TIF nutrient composition closely resembles KIF, suggesting that tissue-specific factors unrelated to the presence of cancer exert a stronger influence on nutrient levels than tumor-driven alterations. Notably, select metabolite changes consistent with known features of RCC metabolism are found in RCC TIF, while glucose levels in TIF are not depleted to levels that are lower than those found in KIF. These findings inform tissue nutrient dynamics in RCC, highlighting a dominant role of non-cancer-driven tissue factors in shaping nutrient availability in these tumors.

Glutaminases as a Novel Target for SDHB-Associated Pheochromocytomas/Paragangliomas. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:E599.

Abstract
Pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas (Pheo/PGL) are rare endocrine cancers with strong genetic background. Mutations in the SDHB subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) predispose patients to malignant disease with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Using a host of cellular and molecular biology techniques in 2D and 3D cell culture formats we show that SDH inhibition had cell line specific biological and biochemical consequences. Based on our studies performed on PC12 (rat chromaffin cell line), Hela (human cervix epithelial cell line), and H295R (human adrenocortical cell line) cells, we demonstrated that chromaffin cells were not affected negatively by the inhibition of SDH either by siRNA directed against SDHB or treatment with SDH inhibitors (itaconate and atpenin A5). Cell viability and intracellular metabolite measurements pointed to the cell line specific consequences of SDH impairment and to the importance of glutamate metabolism in chromaffin cells. A significant increase in glutaminase-1 (GLS-1) expression after SDH impairment was observed in PC12 cells. GLS-1 inhibitor BPTES was capable of significantly decreasing proliferation of SDH impaired PC12 cells. Glutaminase-1 and SDHB expressions were tested in 35 Pheo/PGL tumor tissues. Expression of GLS1 was higher in the SDHB low expressed group compared to SDHB high expressed tumors. Our data suggest that the SDH-associated malignant potential of Pheo/PGL is strongly dependent on GLS-1 expression and glutaminases may be novel targets for therapy.

Waldauf P, Jiroutkova K, Duska F. Using pCO 2 Gap in the Differential Diagnosis of Hyperlactatemia Outside the Context of Sepsis: A Physiological Review and Case Series. Crit Care Res Pract 2019; 2019:5364503. [PMID: 31885914 PMCID: PMC6914888 DOI: 10.1155/2019/5364503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is an inverse relationship between cardiac output and the central venous-arterial difference of partial pressures of carbon dioxide (pCO2 gap), and pCO2 gap has been used to guide early resuscitation of septic shock. It can be hypothesized that pCO2 gap can be used outside the context of sepsis to distinguish type A and type B lactic acidosis and thereby avoid unnecessary fluid resuscitation in patients with high lactate, but without organ hypoperfusion. METHODS We performed a structured review of the literature enlightening the physiological background. Next, we retrospectively selected a series of case reports of nonseptic critically ill patients with elevated lactate, in whom both arterial and central venous blood gases were simultaneously measured and the diagnosis of either type A or type B hyperlactataemia was conclusively known. In these cases, we calculated venous-arterial CO2 and O2 content differences and pCO2 gap. RESULTS Based on available physiological data, pCO2 can be considered as an acceptable surrogate of venous-arterial CO2 content difference, and it should better reflect cardiac output than central venous saturation or indices based on venous-arterial O2 content difference. In our case report of nonseptic patients, we observed that if global hypoperfusion was present (i.e., in type A lactic acidosis), pCO2 gap was elevated (>1 kPa), whilst in the absence of it (i.e., in type B lactic acidosis), pCO2 gap was low (<0.5 kPa). CONCLUSION Physiological rationale and a small case series are consistent with the hypothesis that low pCO2 gap in nonseptic critically ill is suggestive of the absence of tissue hypoperfusion, mandating the search for the cause of type B lactic acidosis rather than administration of fluids or other drugs aimed at increasing cardiac output.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that renal cell tumors represent a group of histologically and molecularly heterogeneous diseases, even within the same histological subtype. In accordance with the increased understanding of the morphological, immunohistochemical, molecular, and epidemiological characteristics of renal cell tumors, the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of renal cell tumors has been modified. This review provides perspectives on both new and current subtypes of renal cell tumors, as well as on the emerging/provisional renal cell carcinomas in the new 2016 WHO classification, which focuses on features of their molecular pathological epidemiology. The WHO classification will require additional revisions to enable the classification of renal cell tumors as clinically meaningful subtypes and provide a better understanding of the unique characteristics of renal cell tumors.
