414 Background: While mutations in PBRM1 (~40%) and BAP1(~10%) are associated with clinical outcomes and pathologic features in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the impact of protein expression of these genes remains unknown. Herein, we quantify PBRM1/BAP1 protein expression in a large cohort of patients with localized ccRCC and associate expression with cancer-specific survival (CSS) and pathologic features. Methods: We utilized the Mayo Clinic Renal Registry and identified 1,416 patients who underwent nephrectomy to treat clinically localized ccRCC between 1/3/1990 and 4/14/2009. We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect PBRM1/BAP1 expression, and a central pathologist blinded to the outcomes scored tumors as either positive or negative. Tumors with heterogeneous or equivocal staining were excluded from this analysis. We generated Cox proportional hazard regression models for associations with ccRCC-SS, and we employed Mann-Whitney U tests for associations with pathologic features. Results: Of the 1,416 samples, 1,232 (87%) were PBRM1/BAP1 positive or negative, 163 (11%) had heterogeneous staining, and 21 (1%) could not be assessed. The distribution and association of PBRM1/BAP1 phenotypes with clinical outcomes are listed in the table below. PBRM1+/BAP1+ tumors have the best CSS, and PBRM1-/BAP1- have the worst. In addition, PBRM1/BAP1 expression strongly associated with the tumor size, stage, grade, and tumor necrosis (p<0.0001). Conclusions: This study is the first and largest to quantify PRBM1/BAP1 protein expression in ccRCC tumors. We were able to quantify PBRM1/BAP1 through IHC in the vast majority of tumors (87%), and PRBM1/BAP1 expression strongly associates with both CSS and pathologic tumor characteristics. Our data confirms our previous findings of the importance of PRBM1/BAP1 in the molecular pathogenesis of ccRCC. [Table: see text]

620 Background: Prognostic stratification of localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (lccRCC) mainly relies on clinical characteristics and TNM staging system, while biological biomarkers are currently lacking. We previously showed that reduced expression of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) was associated with better clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with metastatic ccRCC. In the present study we aimed at assessing the association between intratumor FH expression and clinical outcomes in pts with radically-resected lccRCC. Methods: Pts with radically-resected lccRCC and available formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) primary (renal) tumor tissue were included. FH protein expression was assessed by means of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and defined as normal (comparably to non-neoplastic tubular cells) or low (lower than in non-neoplastic tubular cells). Results: Out of 50 pts included, we found a normal FH expression in 20 cases (40%) and a low FH expression in 30 cases (60%). Median age was 57 years (interquartile range 49-68) and 48 pts (96%) had pN0 disease, while 2 pts (4%) had pN1 disease. Low FH expression was associated with pT ( P= .003) but not with sex, age, Fuhrman grade or pN. After a median follow-up of 76.9 months, low FH expression was associated with a lower relapse rate (13% vs 50%; odds ratio for relapse 0.16; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.04-0.62; P= .005), longer relapse-free survival (RFS) (5-years RFS rate 90% vs 50%; HR 0.20; 95% CI 0.06-0.63; P= .006) and a trend toward a better overall survival (OS) (5-years OS rate 100% vs 77.3%; HR 0.14; 95% CI 0.02-1.23; P= .07) when compared with normal FH expression. In the multivariable model including other characteristics associated with RFS, low FH expression confirmed an independent association with RFS (adjusted HR 0.25; 95% CI 0.06-0.91; P= .03). Conclusions: In our study, low intratumor FH, as detected by IHC, was associated with lower relapse rate, better RFS and a trend toward a better OS in patients with lccRCC when compared with normal FH levels. The role of FH expression as a prognostic biomarker in this setting warrants further investigation.

Several studies have proposed that protease expression and activity may have a predictive value in the survival of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). Most efforts on this issue have been focused on the analysis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and very little on the role of other proteases, such as peptidases. The catalytic activity of 9 peptidases (APN, APB, ASP, CAP, DPP-IV, NEP/CD10, PEP, PGI, and PSA) was quantified by fluorometric methods in a series of 79 CCRCC patients, and the results obtained were analyzed for survival (Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test, and Cox multivariate analysis). CCRCC patients with higher activity levels of membrane-bound APN and soluble APN, DPP-IV, and CAP had significantly shorter 5-yr survival rates than those with lower levels. By contrast, higher soluble APB activity significantly correlated with longer survival. Our data suggest the involvement of peptidases in the biological aggressiveness of CCRCC and support the usefulness of measuring these proteases to assess the prognosis of patients with CCRCC.

Objective: To analyze the impact of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and open partial nephrectomy (OPN) on outcomes of complex clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods: A total of 132 high-complex ccRCC patients with a Radius Exophytic Nearness Anterior Location (R.E.N.A.L) score ≥7 enrolled in our hospital between January 2018 and June 2020 were matched and assigned to an LPN group (given LPN treatment) and an OPN group (given OPN treatment), with 66 cases in each group. Two weeks and 3 months after the operation, the renal indexes, inflammatory factors, basic perioperative conditions, and incidence of complications were compared.Results: Two weeks after the operation, the levels of SCr and CysC were elevated, with higher levels observed in the LPN group (all P &lt; 0.05), and the eGFR levels were reduced, with a lower result in the LPN group. Three months after the operation, the two groups observed decreased levels of SCr and CysC, and an increased level of eGFR; moreover, the decreased SCr and CysC levels were still higher, and the increased eGFR was lower than those before the operation (P &lt; 0.05). The levels of CRP and TNF-α in the two groups increased after the operation, with a lower outcome in the LPN group (P &lt; 0.05). Moreover, the LPN group had less intraoperative blood loss and shorter postoperative length of hospital stay but longer blocking time compared to the OPN group (P &lt; 0.05). Patients in the LPN group were recorded with a lower complication incidence compared with the OPN group (3.03 vs. 15.15%, P &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: Both LPN and OPN enjoy significant efficacy in the treatment of complex ccRCC and effectively protect renal function. Moreover, LPN is a more acceptable option for complex ccRCC due to its numerous benefits in postoperative stress response, complications, recovery. which is worthy of promotion with safety and feasibility.
