Positive feedback loop and synergistic effects between hypoxia-inducible factor-2? and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 promote tumorigenesis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Adapting to hypoxic stress is pivotal in tumor progression and determining tumor malignancy. The transcriptional factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is crucial in modulating tumorous hypoxic responses through altering cell energy metabolism, which includes the modification of glucose and lipid metabolism-associated gene expression. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is the main isoform of SCDs, the rate-limiting enzymes in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids, which is extensively activated in cancer progression. In this study, we found that SCD1 and HIF-2? were overexpressed in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissues and ccRCC cell lines, and were upregulated in the 786-0 ccRCC cell line under hypoxia. Knockdown of SCD1 or HIF-2? impacted the other's expression. Enhancing SCD1 resulted in HIF-2? upregulation, which could be blocked by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway. Deficiency of SCD1 or HIF-2? in 768-0 cells led to apoptosis, less colony formation ability, and decreased cell migration. More obvious effects were observed in 786-0 cells with double SCD1 and HIF-2? knockdown. These results indicate a PI3K/Akt-mediated loop between SCD1 and HIF-2? that mutually enhances their protein levels. Both SCD1 and HIF-2? are critical to promoting tumorigenesis by synergistically acting on maintaining cell survival, triggering cell migration, and enhancing the colony formation ability of cancer cells.

Project description:Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), the rate-limiting enzymes in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids, have been gradually recognized as a potential therapeutic target for various malignancies, particularly in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the prognostic value of SCD1 in ccRCC is still unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical significance of SCD1 expression in patients with ccRCC. SCD1 expression in tumor tissues obtained from 359 patients who underwent nephrectomy for ccRCC are retrospectively assessed. During a median follow-up of 63 months (range: 1-144month), 56 patients in total died before the last follow-up in this study. Survival curves were plotted with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. Meanwhile, univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were applied to evaluate the prognostic value of SCD1 expression in overall survival (OS) for ccRCC patients. Moreover, SCD1 was enrolled into a newly built nomogram with factors selected by multivariate analysis, and the calibration was built to evaluate the predictive accuracy of nomogram. High SCD1 expression occurred in 61.6% (221/359) of ccRCC patients, which was significantly associated with age (p = 0.030), TNM stage (p = 0.021), pN stage (p = 0.014), Fuhrman grade (p = 0.014) and tumor sizes (p = 0.040). In multivariate analysis, SCD1 expression was confirmed as an adverse independent prognostic factor for OS. The prognostic accuracy of TNM stage, Fuhrman grade and tumor sizes was significantly increased when SCD1 expression was added. The independent prognostic factors, pT stage, pN stage, Fuhrman grade and tumor sizes, as well as SCD1 expression were integrated to establish a predictive nomogram with high predictive accuracy. Calibration curves revealed optimal consistency between observations and prognosis. In conclusion, high SCD1 expression is an independent prognostic factor for OS in patients with ccRCC. Our data suggest that the expression of SCD1 might guide the clinical decisions for patients with ccRCC.
