Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) share several characteristics, including neoplastic cell growth, kidney cysts, and limited therapeutics. As well, both exhibit impaired vasculature and compensatory VEGF activation of angiogenesis. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Ras/Raf/ERK pathways play important roles in regulating cystic and tumor cell proliferation and growth. Both RCC and ADPKD result in hypoxia, where HIF-α signaling is activated in response to oxygen deprivation. Primary cilia and altered cell metabolism may play a role in disease progression. Non-coding RNAs may regulate RCC carcinogenesis and ADPKD through their varied effects. Drosophila exhibits remarkable conservation of the pathways involved in RCC and ADPKD. Here, we review the progress towards understanding disease mechanisms, partially overlapping cellular and molecular dysfunctions in RCC and ADPKD and reflect on the potential for the agile Drosophila genetic model to accelerate discovery science, address unresolved mechanistic aspects of these diseases, and perform rapid pharmacological screens.

Abstract Background: Growing evidence has shown that the type VI collagen alpha chain (COL6A) family involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of diverse malignancies; however, its biological roles and potential mechanisms in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unknown. The study was designed to explore the potential mechanisms and functions of COL6As in ccRCC.Methods: ONCOMINE and GEPIA databases were used to compare the transcriptional expression data of COL6As in ccRCC samples and normal renal samples. UALCAN database was utilized to determine the association between clinicopathological features and COL6As expression. Kaplan–Meier method was employed to determine the prognostic value of COL6As mRNA expression in ccRCC. CBioPortal database was used to investigate the genetic alterations of COL6As in ccRCC. Co-expression analyses, functional enrichment analyses, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were utilized to explore the potential action mechanisms of COL6As in ccRCC. Finally, we estimated the relationship between COL6As expression with immune cell infiltrates.Results: Upregulated transcriptional COL6A2/COL6A3 expression was observed in ccRCC specimens by comparison with noncancerous renal specimens. Patients with increased COL6A2/COL6A3 mRNA expression have a poor clinical outcome and unfavorable prognosis. Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and GSEA analyses showed that COL6A2/COL6A3 might promote the tumorigenesis and progression of ccRCC by involving in several cancer-related pathways, such as axon guidance, focal adhesion, ECM receptor interaction. Besides, we found that COL6A2/COL6A3 expression was significantly associated with immune infiltration levels in ccRCC.Conclusions: COL6A2 and COL6A3 could act as candidate prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in ccRCC. However, further experimental work was required to validate the conclusions.

Background Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common urological disease. Expression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase 12 gene ( PTPN12) is decreased in many cancers; however, the relationship between PTPN12 gene function and renal cancer remains unclear. Methods We detected PTPN12 protein expression in ccRCC and corresponding normal tissues from 64 patients with ccRCC by immunohistochemistry, and relative PTPN12 mRNA levels by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The relationships between the relative expression levels of PTPN12 mRNA and the patients’ clinical data were analyzed. Results PTPN12 protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in ccRCC compared with the corresponding normal tissues. The mRNA expression levels in the ccRCC and corresponding normal tissues from the 64 patients with ccRCC were 0.459±0.445 and 1.001±0.128, respectively, compared with the control (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase). There was a significant correlation between relative expression of PTPN12 mRNA in ccRCC tissues and tumor diameter and clinical stage. Conclusion The expression levels of PTPN12 protein and mRNA were significantly lower in ccRCC tissues compared with normal tissues. The role of PTPN12 may provide new insights and evidence to aid the diagnosis and targeted therapy of ccRCC.
