Molecular Protein and Expression Profile in the Primary Tumors of Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma and Metastases.

ABSTRACT: Metastasis involves the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor to surrounding tissues and distant organs and is the primary cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was the determination of change in molecular factors expression in primary kidney cancers (ccRCC) and metastatic sites. In total, 62 patients with RCC were enrolled in the study. The mRNA levels of molecular markers were studied by real-time PCR, and the content of the studied parameters was determined by Western blotting and ELISA. The features in the intracellular signal metabolites in the series of normal renal parenchyma, tumor tissue of localized, disseminated kidney cancer and metastatic tissue were studied. A decrease in some indicators in the tissue of the metastatic lesion was noted. Protein products of transcription factors HIF-1, CAIX, PTEN and activated AKT kinase, as well as expression of the VEGFR2 receptor and m-TOR protein kinase were revealed to be reduced in the metastatic sites. In addition, some indicators increased in metastasis: the protein levels of NF-?B p 50, NF-?B p 65, HIF-2, VEGF, VEGFR2, m-TOR and mRNA of HIF-1, CAIX, PTEN and PDK. There were indicators with multidirectional changes. HIF-1, CAIX, PTEN, VEGFR2 and m-TOR mRNA: VEGFR2, m-TOR, HIF-1, CAIX, PTEN and PDK had an opposite change in protein content and mRNA level. PTEN loss resulted in the downstream activation of AKT/mTOR signaling in secondary cancer lesions and determined the overall ccRCC patient's survival. The AKT/mTOR signaling cascade activation was found in the primary kidney tumors. The PTEN content and mRNA level were correlated with total AKT, GSK-3?, the 70S 6 kinases and AKT expression.

Project description:Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs, are involved in a variety of diseases, including several types of cancers. We hypothesized that circRNAs are involved in the tumorigenesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: To verify our hypothesis, we explored the circRNA expression profiles in 4 pairs of ccRCC tissues and their adjacent non-carcinoma tissues via microarray analysis. Selected circRNAs were further validated by qPCR. Moreover, hsa_circ_0005875 was selected for further study and the potential clinical values of hsa_circ_0005875 were investigated in 60 pairs of ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal controls. In addition, the role of hsa_circ_0005875 in ccRCC progression were performed using colony formation assay, Transwell assay and Martrigel-Transwell assay respectively. Finally, interactions between the circRNAs and miRNAs were predicted using Arraystar's miRNA target prediction software. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to evaluate the interaction between hsa_circ_0005875 and hsa_miR-145-5p. Results: The microarray data showed 1988 circRNAs were significantly dysregulated circRNAs, including 1033 upregulated and 955 downregulated ones in the ccRCC tissues. Hsa_circ_0005875 was confirmed to be significantly upregulated in the ccRCC tumor tissues and renal carcinoma cells. Further analysis revealed that hsa_circ_0005875 expression was associated with tumor size, pathological TNM stage, histological differentiation, and lymphatic metastasis. Functional experiments demonstrated that overexpression of hsa_circ_0005875 increased proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays suggest that hsa_circ_0005875 may serve as a ceRNA (competing endogenous RNA) of miR-145-5p to relieve the repressive effect of miR-145-5p on target ZEB2. Conclusions: These data indicate that hsa_circ_0005875 might play a role in promoting tumor growth and metastasis and be a potential biomarker of ccRCC.
