418 Background: p27Kip1 is considered to contribute to the progression of ccRCC and is targeted by next generation dual-therapies. Cytoplasmic and nuclear differences of p27 Kip1 expression and localization in benign and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) were analyzed with regard to overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Methods: In 140 patients, ccRCC and corresponding benign kidney tissue were analyzed for nuclear and cytoplasmic staining of p27Kip1 by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray technique. Staining intensity and percentage of positive stained cells are given as expression scores. p27Kip1 expression was categorized as high if ccRCC tissue stained stronger than the respective level of the corresponding benign tissue and categorized as low if ccRCC tissue stained less than or equal to the corresponding benign tissue. Differences in OS and CSS were analyzed by log-rank analysis and expression levels were correlated with tumour and patient characteristics using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Cytoplasmatic (mean [SD]: 13.8% [1.2%] vs 10.7% [1.7%]; P = 0.04) and nuclear (mean [SD]: 75.6% [2.7%] vs 13.6% [2.1%]; P < 0.001) staining of p27Kip1 were significantly stronger in ccRCC tissues compared to benign tissue. High cytoplasmic p27Kip1 expression was significantly associated with a higher T and N stage, Fuhrman grade and the presence of metastatic disease (P < 0.001). The median follow-up time was 38.2 months. There was no difference in OS between the low and high expression groups, although CSS was significantly lower in patients with high cytoplasmic p27Kip1 (P < 0.001) and CSS heavily tended to be lower in the nuclear low expression group (P = 0.069). Conclusions: High cytoplasmic p27Kip1 levels in renal cancer tissues are associated with advanced disease and reduced cancer specific survival, whereas low nuclear expression levels appear to be beneficial. The present study corroborates the consideration of cytoplasmic p27Kip1 for future diagnostic and targeted therapeutic approaches in RCC establishing a potential protective shift of p27Kip1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.

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.

Introduction: Hypoxia inducible factors (HIF) and prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes play a central role in tumor progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, there are currently no data regarding the behavior of this pathway (HIF/PHD) in a large number of benign renal tumors, the oncocytomas. The aim of the present study was to compare the expression levels of these factors between ccRCC and oncocytoma tumors. Material and methods: A total of 56 fresh frozen specimens from patients with ccRCC and 14 oncocytoma specimens were analyzed via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in order to assess the expression levels of HIF-1α, HIF-2α, PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3. The analysis involved both fresh frozen tumor samples as well as adjacent normal kidney tissues. Results: In ccRCC, HIF-1α and HIF-2α levels were upregulated in 65.5% and 71.4% of cases, respectively. PHD3 was downregulated only in 15.4% of the ccRCC cases, in contrast with oncocytoma cases, which exhibited low expression levels in the majority. The upregulation of PHD3 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in ccRCC when compared with oncocytoma was statistically significant ( P<0.001). No other comparisons (HIF-1α, HIF-2α, PHD1, and PHD2) were significantly different. HIF-2α and PHD3 mRNA expression levels were negatively correlated with Fuhrman Grade ( P=0.029 and P=0.026, respectively) in ccRCC. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the HIF/PHD pathway was compared between ccRCC and a common benign tumor, identifying the upregulation of PHD3 as the possible underlying factor guiding the difference in the behavior of ccRCC.

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]
