The Critical Gene Screening to Prevent Chromophobe Cell Renal Carcinoma Metastasis through TCGA and WGCNA. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:2909095. [PMID: 36284630 PMCID: PMC9588331 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2909095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Common chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) has a good prognosis when cured by surgery. However, clinical practice shows that a small number of patients with chRCC will produce metastasis, and the prognosis after metastasis is poor. In this regard, we try to find potential biological targets to prevent CRCC metastasis. In this experiment, we analyzed the clinical traits and gene expression data of chRCC samples which were provided by the TCGA database by the WGCNA method. On this basis, we selected MEtan, a module with a significant positive correlation with the M phase of chRCC, for subsequent analysis. The MEtan module genes in the biological process of chRCC were mainly related to steroid metabolic process, cholesterol metabolic process and STEM cell differentiation. KEGG analysis showed that these genes were mainly enriched in cancer-related signaling pathways, such as Neuroactive Ligand−receptor interaction, cAMP signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. Subsequently, we mapped the PPI interaction network and screened the key gene beta-arrestin 2 (ARRB2). Expression analysis showed that there was a significantly increased expression of ARRB2 in chRCC patients in comparison to the normal group. Expression survival analysis indicated that ARRB2 was inversely associated with overall survival. We firmly believe that the key genes identified in this study would be able to provide new clues and research basis for the treatment of chRCC.

Development and Validation of a Competitive Risk Model in Elderly Patients With Chromophobe Cell Renal Carcinoma: A Population-Based Study. Front Public Health 2022; 10:840525. [PMID: 35273943 PMCID: PMC8902051 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.840525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy in adults, and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is the third most common subtype of RCC. We aimed to construct a competitive risk model to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly patients with chRCC. Methods The clinicopathological information of the patients was downloaded from the SEER database, and the patients were randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts. Patients' risk factors for cancer-specific death (CSM) were analyzed using proportional subdistribution hazard (SH). We constructed a competitive risk model to predict the CSS of elderly chRCC patients. Consistency index (C-index), the area under receiver operating curve (AUC), and a calibration curve were used to validate the model's accuracy. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to test the clinical value of the model. Results A total of 3,522 elderly patients with chRCC were included in the analysis. Patients were randomly assigned to either the training cohort (N = 2,474) or the validation cohort (N = 1,048). SH analysis found that age, race, T, N, and M stage, tumor size, and surgery were risk factors for CSM. We constructed a competitive risk model to predict patients' CSS. In the training set, the model predicted patients' 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS with C-indices of 82.2, 80.8, and 78.2, respectively. The model predicted patient 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS in the validation cohort with C-indices of 84.7, 83.4, and 76.9, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the model's predicted value is almost consistent with the observed value, which indicated that the model has good accuracy. The AUC of the training set and validation queue also suggested that the model has good discrimination. The clinical utility of the DCA model in predicting patients' CSS is higher than that of traditional TNM staging. Conclusions We constructed a competitive risk model to predict CSS in elderly patients with chRCC. The model has good accuracy and reliability, which can help doctors and patients to make clinical decisions and follow-up strategies.

Abstract
Significant progresses have been made in adoptive cell therapy with CAR-T cells for cancers, especially for hematological malignancies. However, the treatment of solid tumors still poses a tremendous challenge and remains an unmet medical need. Several factors are held responsible for the inadequate responses: tumor heterogeneity, inefficient homing of T cells to tumor tissues, immunosuppressive microenvironment and the shortage of specific antigens shortage. Mesothelin is a cell-surface glycoprotein highly expressed in many types of solid tumors. As such, it has attracted much attention as a molecular target in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we delineate the barriers imposed by solid tumors on CARs, outline the rationale of mesothelin as a target for immunotherapy, summarize the preclinical and clinical results of mesothelin-targeted therapies, and extrapolate the expected results of CAR-T cells directed against mesothelin for solid tumors.

Virchows Arch 2020; 478:459-470. [PMID: 32816058 DOI: 10.1007/s00428-020-02912-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Revised: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The histologic features of renal oncocytoma (RO) are similar to those for the more aggressive chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC). To assess immunohistochemical markers of the two, the sensitivity and specificity of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and C-kit, as well as hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β), were analyzed. Typical cases of ChRCC and RO at Severance Hospital between July 2014 and July 2018 were selected retrospectively. Among 44 cases, 17 were unanimously compatible with ChRCC, 16 were RO, and 11 cases were indeterminate. Samples from all selected cases were used for immunostaining with antibodies against CK7, C-kit, HNF-1β, and CD10. Immunostaining demonstrated complete loss of HNF-1β expression in 11 out of 17 (64.7%) ChRCC cases and a partial, but significant loss in > 50% of tumor cells in the remaining 6 cases (35.3%). In contrast, HNF-1β expression was preserved in tumor cells of RO cases. Fourteen of 17 ChRCC cases (82.4%) were diffusely positive for CK7, whereas cases of RO were focal positive or negative. C-kit staining did not show a significant difference between ChRCC and RO. Two of five ChRCC cases showing diffuse immunoreactivity for CD10 had poor prognoses of local invasion, distant metastasis, or death. Loss of HNF-1β expression is a useful marker with which to diagnose ChRCC, especially in cases with confusing histologic findings or equivocal CK7 staining. Additionally, CD10 staining in high-grade ChRCC aids in diagnosis and prediction of the clinical prognosis.

Novel molecular signatures and potential therapeutics in renal cell carcinomas: Insights from a comparative analysis of subtypes. Genomics 2020; 112:3166-3178. [PMID: 32512143 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2020.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are among the highest causes of cancer mortality. Although transcriptome profiling studies in the last decade have made significant molecular findings on RCCs, effective diagnosis and treatment strategies have yet to be achieved due to lack of adequate screening and comparative profiling of RCC subtypes. In this study, a comparative analysis was performed on RNA-seq based transcriptome data from each RCC subtype, namely clear cell RCC (KIRC), papillary RCC (KIRP) and kidney chromophobe (KICH), and mutual or subtype-specific reporter biomolecules were identified at RNA, protein, and metabolite levels by the integration of expression profiles with genome-scale biomolecular networks. This approach revealed already-known biomarkers in RCCs as well as novel biomarker candidates and potential therapeutic targets. Our findings also pointed out the incorporation of the molecular mechanisms of KIRC and KIRP, whereas KICH was shown to have distinct molecular signatures. Furthermore, considering the Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) receptor as a potential therapeutic target specific to KICH, several drug candidates such as ZINC6745464 were identified through virtual screening of ZINC molecules. In this study, we reported valuable data for further experimental and clinical efforts, since the proposed molecules have significant potential for screening and therapeutic purposes in RCCs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The oxidative stress contributes to all three phases of carcinogenesis and represents a concomitant condition in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCC is the most common type of neoplasm of the kidney, and despite numerous studies the set of predictive and prognostic markers of survival are still unknown. The aim of our study was to examine the relation between antioxidant (AO) status and overall survival (OS) in RCC patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study included 95 patients with RCC, who underwent radical nephrectomy. We analysed the prognostic role of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde) and other clinicopathological factors (size, grade, stage, and histological subtype) on the OS of RCC patients. RESULTS The 5-year OS was 54.6%. The survival analysis related to AO parameters showed no significant difference in survival of RCC patients. The concentration of malondialdehyde, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, also had no significant effect on the survival rate of RCC patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis confirmed the significance of clinicopathological parameters (size, p < 0.001; Fuhrman grade, p = 0.001, and stage, p < 0.001) for patients' survival. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of patients, different antioxidant parameters were not found to be predictors for OS of patients with RCC, who underwent radical nephrectomy.

Abstract
A novel analytical approach is proposed to discriminate between solid biopsies of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) and renal oncocytoma (RO). The method comprises the following steps: (i) ultrasonic extraction of proteins from solid biopsies, (ii) protein depletion with acetonitrile, (iii) ultrasonic assisted in-solution digestion using magnetic nanoparticle with immobilized trypsin, (iv) C18 tip-based preconcentration of peptides, (v) sequential extraction of the peptides with ACN, (vi) MALDI-snapshot of the extracts and (vii) investigation of the extract containing the most discriminating features using high resolution mass spectrometry. With this approach we have been able to differentially cluster renal oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and identified 18 proteins specific to chromophobe and seven unique to renal oncocytoma. Chromophobes express proteins associated with ATP function (ATP5I & 5E; VATE1 & G2; ADT2), glycolysis (PGK1) and neuromedin whilst oncocytomas express ATP5H, ATPA, DEPD7 and TRIPB thyroid receptor interacting protein.

Abstract
Background The present study aims to investigate the gene expression changes in papillary renal cell carcinoma(pRCC) and screen several genes and associated pathways of papillary renal cell carcinoma progression. Methods The papillary renal cell carcinoma RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data set was downloaded from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas). We identified the differentially expressed mRNAs between cancer and normal tissues and performed annotation of differentially expressed mRNAs to figure out the functions and pathways they were enriched in. Then, we constructed a risk score that relied on the 5-mRNA. The optimal value for the patients’classification risk level was identified by ROC analysis. The relationship between mRNA expression and prognosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma was evaluated by univariate Cox regression model. The 5-mRNA based risk score was validated in both complete set and testing set. Result In general, the 5-mRNA (CCNB2, IGF2BP3, KIF18A, PTTG1, and BUB1) were identified and validated, which can predict papillary renal cell carcinoma patient survival. This study revealed the 5-mRNA expression profile and the potential function of a single mRNA as a prognostic target for papillary renal cell carcinoma. Conclusion In addition, these findings may have significant implications for potential treatments options and prognosis for patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
The conclusion of the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphism and renal cell carcinoma risk was inconsistent. This study was performed to assess the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphism and renal cell carcinoma risk using meta-analysis. The association studies were identified from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, and eligible studies were included and calculated. Ten studies were included for this meta-analysis. vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) +405G > CC allele and GG genotype were associated with renal cell carcinoma risk for overall populations in this meta-analysis (C allele: odds ratio = 1.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.33, P = .004; CC genotype: odds ratio = 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 0.96-1.50, P = .12; GG genotype: odds ratio = 0.79, 95% confidence interval: 0.67-0.93, P = .004). Furthermore, VEGF +936C>T gene polymorphism and VEGF −2578 C>A gene polymorphism were associated with renal cell carcinoma risk for overall populations (+936C>T: T allele: odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.29, P = .004; TT genotype: odds ratio = 1.25, 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.52, P = .03; CC genotype: odds ratio = 0.86, 95% confidence interval: 0.75-0.98, P = .03; −2578 C>A: A allele: odds ratio = 1.26, 95% confidence interval: 1.15-1.38, P < .00001; AA genotype: odds ratio = 1.39, 95% confidence interval: 1.16-1.67, P = .0004; CC genotype: odds ratio = 0.75, 95% confidence interval: 0.61-0.92, P = .006). However, VEGF −634G>C, VEGF −460T>C, VEGF −1154 G>A, and VEGF +1612 G>A gene polymorphisms were not associated with renal cell carcinoma risk. In conclusion, VEGF +405G>CC allele and GG genotype, VEGF +936C>T gene polymorphism, and VEGF −2578 C>A gene polymorphism were associated with renal cell carcinoma risk for overall populations. However, more studies should be performed to assess this relationship in the future.
