ANGPTL4 suppress clear cell renal cell carcinoma via inhibition lysosomal acid lipase

ABSTRACT: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common form of kidney cancer, is a heterogeneous disease with clear cell RCC (ccRCC) being the most prevalent and aggressive subtype. While most ccRCC tumors have elevated expression of angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), in our study we identified a significant subset of patients whose cancers show no increase in ANGPTL4 expression. These patients have a worse prognosis compared to the patients with high expression of ANGPTL4. These ANGPTL4-low cancers are characterized by the increased frequency of wild-type Von Hippel-Lindau (wt VHL), a gene that is commonly mutated in ccRCC, and an enrichment for genes associated with lipid metabolism. Using RCC tumor models with wild type VHL, we demonstrate that ANGPTL4 behaves as a tumor suppressor. The loss of ANGPTL4 in ccRCC cell lines results in increased tumor growth and colony formation in a lysosomal acid lipase (LAL)-dependent manner, a phenotype rescued by the expression of N-terminus ANGPTL4. At the mechanistic level, the loss of ANGPTL4 increases lysosomal acid lipase activity in ccRCC cells. This data suggests that ANGPTL4 enacts its tumor-suppressive effects in ccRCC by regulating LAL activity. Importantly, the identified patient cohort with low ANGPTL4 expression may exhibit increased reliance on lipid metabolism, which can be a point of target for future therapy.

Project description:Altered metabolism is an important part of malignant transformation of tumor cells. Oncogenic transformation may reprogram tumor metabolism and render tumor cells addicted to extracellular nutrients. Such nutrient addictions associated with oncogenic mutations may offer therapeutic opportunities; however, it remains difficult to predict these nutrient addictions. Here, we performed a nutrigenetic screen to determine the phenotypes of isogenic pairs of clear-cell renal cancer cells (ccRCC) with or without VHL upon the deprivation of individual amino acids. We identified that cystine deprivation triggered rapid programmed necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC, but not in their VHL-restored counterparts. Similar cystine addiction was also observed in VHL-deficient primary RCC tumors cells. Blockage of cystine uptake significantly delayed xenograft growth of ccRCC. Importantly, cystine deprivation triggered similar metabolic changes regardless of VHL status. Therefore, metabolic differences due to cystine deprivation are not different enough to readily explain the distinct fate of life vs. death in VHL-deficient and restored cell.. Instead, we found that increased levels of TNFÎ± associated with VHL loss in the VHL-deficient RCC force them to rely on intact RIPK1 to inhibit apoptosis. However, this pre-existing elevated TNFÎ± in the VHL-deficient ccRCC renders these cells susceptible to the necrosis signaling triggered by cystine deprivation. In addition, we identified that cystine-deprived necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC depends on reciprocal amplification of the Src-p38-Noxa signaling and TNFÎ±-RIP1/3-MLKL necrosis pathways that culminate in MLKL oligomerization and programmed necrosis. Together, our data reveal that the contextual cystine-addictions in VHL-deficient ccRCC is dependent on activating pre-existing oncogenic pathways to trigger programmed necrosis. RNA was extracted by RNAeasy kits (Qiagen) from the RCC4 Vec and VHL-reconstituted cells which were exposed to the control full DMEM or cystine deprived DMEM media for 6 hours (three replicates in each condition).
