Novel Nanopore-Based Copy Number Analysis for Ultrafast Renal Tumor Classification (AMP 2024)
In this study, we applied the iSCORED pipeline for ultrafast, genome-wide CNV information of renal tumors with results showing complete concordance with established CNV analysis methods. This method could facilitate pathological diagnosis and potentially inform targeted treatment in less than 2 hours. Future directions include expanding analyzed tumor types and integrating methylation classification into the pipeline.

Comprehensive Pan-Cancer Analysis of the Prognostic Role of KLF Transcription Factor 2 (KLF2) in Human Tumors. (PubMed, Onco Targets Ther)
Immunohistochemistry and qPCR confirmed the low expression of KLF2 in STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma) and renal cancer. Our pan-cancer analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the oncogenic roles of KLF2 in multiple human cancers and can be regarded as a potential prognostic marker and a novel target for cancer immunotherapy.

C-reactive Protein-albumin-lymphocyte Index as a Novel Biomarker for Progression in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Renal Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Diagn Progn)
In addition to the existing risk factors for RCC recurrence, such as sarcomatoid features and Fuhrman grade, we propose that the CALLY index is a predictor of postoperative recurrence and that patients with a low CALLY index are good candidates for postoperative treatment. Our study may help select patients with pT3 disease with a high risk of recurrence who require postoperative treatment.

Complete response to fifth-line anti-PD-1 rechallenge in fumarate hydratase-mutated papillary renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Here, we present the 10-year follow-up of a heavily pre-treated patient with several lines of therapy, achieving a remarkable complete response to anti-PD-1 rechallenge. In addition, we highlight a common immune-related adverse event of anti-PD-1, eosinophilia, as a possible biomarker of response and using TCGA data analysis, provide proof-of-concept for tumor expression of the eosinophil-related gene SIGLEC8, as a promising powerful predictor of prognosis for papillary renal cell carcinoma patients.

The future of cellular therapy for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Expert Opin Biol Ther)
So far, areas of greater therapeutic success of adoptive cell therapies include the adjuvant administration of CIK cells and the transfer of anti-CD70 CAR T cells in patients with metastatic RCC. Bench to bedside and back research will be needed to overcome current limitations of adoptive cell therapies in RCC, primarily aiming at improving the safety of immune cell products, optimizing their antitumor activity and generating off-the-shelf products ready for clinical use.

A framework for target discovery in rare cancers. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Finally, we applied our model to predict gene dependencies in tumors from the TCGA (11,373 tumors; 28 lineages) and multiple additional rare cancers (958 tumors across 16 types, including 13 distinct subtypes of kidney cancer), nominating potentially actionable vulnerabilities in several poorly-characterized cancer types. Our results couple unbiased functional genetic screening with a predictive model to establish a landscape of candidate vulnerabilities across cancers, including several rare cancers currently lacking in potential targets.

Prognostic implications and diagnostic significance of TFE3 rearrangement in renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, World J Urol)
TFE3 rearrangement is an independent prognostic factor for recurrence and contributes to a worse PFS, suggesting the necessity of careful follow-up. Diagnosis should be confirmed using FISH due to low specificity of IHC. Further studies are needed to confirm TFE3 IHC staining as a prognostic factor.

Significant strides have also been made in the development of direct inhibitors of HIF-2, exemplified by the FDA approval of Belzutifan for the treatment of metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma. While efforts to target HIF-1 using various therapeutic modalities have shown promise, no clinical candidates have yet emerged. This review aims to provide insights into the intricate and extensive role played by HIFs in cancer, and the ongoing efforts to develop therapeutic agents against this target.

These results reveal the new function of SHP2 in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis in RCC and provide a basis for further investigating the combination of allosteric SHP2 inhibitors with IFNα in cancer immunotherapy.
