507 Background: High body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for developing ccRCC but is associated with better survival in clinical studies. The obesity paradox may be influenced by metabolically healthy patients classified as obese, and metabolically unhealthy patients classified as normal weight. We evaluated white adipose tissue inflammation (WATi) in perinephric fat as a new marker of metabolic dysregulation and examined its association with clinicopathological characteristics. Methods: In July 2015, we established a prospective cohort study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to investigate the prognostic significance of perinephric WATi among patients undergoing nephrectomy. Perinephric WAT is collected during surgery and patients are followed for clinical outcomes. WATi is defined by the presence of dead/dying adipocytes surrounded by macrophages forming crown-like structures (CLS) and detected through immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathological data are abstracted from the electronic medical record. Wilcoxon rank-sum, Chi-square, or Fisher’s exact tests describe the relationship between CLS status and clinicopathological characteristics on the first 38 ccRCC patients. Results: The study cohort had a median age of 56 years (range 47-64 years) and was predominantly male (71%). CLS were detected in 50% of patients, did not differ by age or sex, and were present in all BMI levels; 59% of obese, 38.5% of overweight, and 33% of normal weight patients (p = 0.47). CLS was significantly associated with advanced disease characteristics including higher stage (p = 0.03) and local invasion (p = 0.02). Median tumor size was larger in patients who were CLS+ (3.5 cm, range 2.65-5.75) than CLS- (2.2 cm, range 1.55-3.00; p = 0.02). Conclusions: Perinephric WATi was found in ccRCC patients of all BMI levels and associated with factors related to poor prognosis. Patients with occult inflammation may be at higher mortality risk, regardless of their BMI. Recruitment of additional cases and analyses to examine how CLS influences ccRCC survival are on-going.

Abstract Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables, in addition to beverages such as tea and coffee. Flavonoids are emerging as potent therapeutic agents for cardiovascular as well as metabolic diseases. Several studies corroborated an inverse relationship between flavonoid consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) or adipose tissue inflammation (ATI). Flavonoids exert their anti-atherogenic effects by increasing nitric oxide (NO), reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, flavonoids alleviate ATI by decreasing triglyceride and cholesterol levels, as well as by attenuating inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, flavonoids inhibit synthesis of fatty acids and promote their oxidation. In this review, we discuss the effect of the main classes of flavonoids, namely flavones, flavonols, flavanols, flavanones, anthocyanins, and isoflavones, on atherosclerosis and ATI. In addition, we dissect the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of action for these flavonoids. We conclude by supporting the potential benefit for flavonoids in the management or treatment of CVD; yet, we call for more robust clinical studies for safety and pharmacokinetic values.
