Résumé

Histologic tumor necrosis (TN) is a well-established independent prognostic indicator in patients treated surgically for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the precise mechanisms by which TN alters disease progression remain unknown. The DEAD-box protein DDX41, a member of a large family of helicases, has been characterized as a pattern recognition receptor against an array of double-stranded (ds)DNA produced from bacteria, dsDNA viruses, and nearby cells that have released dsDNA fragments through necrosis. We hypothesized that DDX41 expression may be upregulated in ccRCC with TN, leading to worse prognosis. Relationship between the presence of TN and DDX41 expression were examined using The Cancer Genome Atlas data sets or using ccRCC samples in our institution. Further, the molecular functions of DDX41 were investigated with human ccRCC cells. The presence of TN was significantly associated with the upregulation of mRNA and protein expression of DDX41 in the 2different patient cohorts with ccRCC. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression levels of DDX41 revealed a worse prognosis. In vitro analyses with ccRCC cells revealed that DDX41 expression promotes tumor-promoting activity. Furthermore, VHL loss, 1of the most common features in ccRCC, was shown to play an extremely important role in increasing the expression of the CXCL family in DDX41-expressing ccRCC, leading to the acquisition of a worse malignant phenotype. DDX41 expression is associated with TN in ccRCC and leads to a worse prognosis in cooperation with VHL loss.

BACKGROUND
Histologic tumor necrosis (TN) is a well-established independent prognostic indicator in patients treated surgically for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the precise mechanisms by which TN alters disease progression remain unknown. The DEAD-box protein DDX41, a member of a large family of helicases, has been characterized as a pattern recognition receptor against an array of double-stranded (ds)DNA produced from bacteria, dsDNA viruses, and nearby cells that have released dsDNA fragments through necrosis. We hypothesized that DDX41 expression may be upregulated in ccRCC with TN, leading to worse prognosis.
METHODS
Relationship between the presence of TN and DDX41 expression were examined using The Cancer Genome Atlas data sets or using ccRCC samples in our institution. Further, the molecular functions of DDX41 were investigated with human ccRCC cells.
RESULTS
The presence of TN was significantly associated with the upregulation of mRNA and protein expression of DDX41 in the 2different patient cohorts with ccRCC. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression levels of DDX41 revealed a worse prognosis. In vitro analyses with ccRCC cells revealed that DDX41 expression promotes tumor-promoting activity. Furthermore, VHL loss, 1of the most common features in ccRCC, was shown to play an extremely important role in increasing the expression of the CXCL family in DDX41-expressing ccRCC, leading to the acquisition of a worse malignant phenotype.
CONCLUSIONS
DDX41 expression is associated with TN in ccRCC and leads to a worse prognosis in cooperation with VHL loss.
