Expression of aquaporin 1 in primary renal tumors: a prognostic indicator for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma

Background

Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is a water channel expressed in many epithelial tissues and endothelium, including the proximal nephron of the kidney.

Objective

We measured AQP1 expression in primary renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) and evaluated its significance and prognostic utility.

Design, setting, and participants

We examined AQP1 expression in 559 sporadic renal tumors as well as in 43 normal kidney tissue samples and collected clinicopathologic and prognostic data.

Measurements

AQP1 expression was measured by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results and limitations

All normal kidney samples presented substantial AQP1 expression. Among tumor subtypes, AQP1 expression was significantly higher in clear-cell and papillary RCCs, whereas it was lower in chromophobe RCCs, oncocytomas, and collecting-duct carcinomas. In clear-cell RCC, AQP1 was significantly higher in patients without symptomatic presentation or whose tumors were smaller, lower grade, or either lower stage or lacking in microvascular invasion. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene mutational status did not affect expression level. Cox univariate and multivariate analyses strongly associated high AQP1 expression with better prognosis in cancer-specific and cancer-free survival tests in all patient cohorts, as well as in cancer-specific survival in a cohort of patients with advanced metastatic RCC. The time-dependent receiver operation characteristic (ROC) analyses, combined with logistic regression models, revealed that the addition of the AQP1 parameter to the University of California Los Angeles Integrated Staging System (UISS) prognostic score can improve the accuracy of predictions of both cancer death and recurrence for all patient cohorts as well as of cancer death for advanced cases within a 5-yr follow-up period in clear-cell RCC. High AQP1 expression was also associated with better outcome in a univariate cancer-specific survival test in papillary RCCs.

Conclusions

AQP1 shows RCC subtype-specific expression, and its expression level provides useful prognostic information for patients with clear-cell RCC.     

The impact of renal surgery on global renal function and non-oncologic morbidity

Nephron preservation has been increasingly prioritized in the treatment of small renal tumors. Radical nephrectomy is now understood as a risk factor for development of chronic kidney disease, which is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Indications for nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) have broadened from solitary kidney, bilateral tumors, and hereditary tumor syndromes to essentially all small renal tumors. Laparoscopic NSS has demonstrated excellent cancer control as well as good functional preservation despite the need for warm ischemia. There has been ongoing debate regarding safe parameters for warm ischemia, which are thought to vary with patient factors. Focal ablative therapies have been developed for use in high-risk surgical candidates (eg, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation) to minimize renal and other treatment-related morbidity. Emphasis on minimally invasive approaches and advances in preventing renal dysfunction and other morbidity after NSS will guide the future of these therapies.     

Effects of timing of dialysis initiation on the prognosis of peritoneal dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study

Objective To analyze the effects of dialysis therapy initiation on the prognosis of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods PD patients who were newly catheterization and long-term followed-up in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 1, 2012 to March 25, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of patients catheterization, the patients were divided into early-dialysis group [eGFR＞5.5 ml?min-1?(1.73 m2)-1] and late-dialysis group [eGFR≤5.5 ml?min-1?(1.73 m2)-1]. The endpoint events were transferred to other renal replacement therapy (such as hemodialysis, kidney transplantation) or death. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve, and log-rank test was used to compare the difference of survival rate between the two groups. Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the influencing factors of all-cause death and technical death in PD patients. Results A total of 342 PD patients were enrolled in this study, and there were 165 cases and 177 cases in the early-dialysis and the late-dialysis group respectively. Compared with the early-dialysis group, the proportion of patients with diabetes and men, and the level of hemoglobin, serum calcium and CO2 binding capacity in the late-dialysis group were lower, while the incidence of hypertension, serum phosphorus, blood uric acid and blood urea nitrogen level were higher in the late-dialysis group (all P＜0.05). The median follow-up time was 33(16, 57) months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of late-dialysis group was significantly higher than that of early-dialysis group (Log-rank χ2=12.004, P＜0.001). After adjusting for gender, age of catheterization, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus and hypertension, the risk ratio of all-cause death in the early-dialysis group was 1.950 times higher than that in the late-dialysis group (HR=1.950, 95%CI 1.019-3.730, P=0.044). Subgroup analysis showed that the timing of dialysis and the risk of end-point events were not affected by BMI, diabetes stratification and other factors (interactive P＞0.05), but there was interaction between dialysis time and catheter age (interactive P＜0.05). According to the age of catheterization, the risk of all-cause death were higher in the early dialysis group at a young age (≤48 years old) (HR=21.287, 95%CI 2.609-173.665, P=0.004). Conclusions The mortality rate of PD patients is higher in early-dialysis group, which is independent of gender, age, BMI, diabetes and hypertension. The difference is more distinct in low age group.     

The aggressiveness of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma increases with the severity of chronic kidney disease

OBJECTIVE

To assess, in a retrospective cohort, urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UT‐UC) in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their clinicopathological features, as patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) have a higher incidence of UT‐UC, but the relationship between early stages of CKD and characteristics of UT‐UC are less well known.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

The study included 267 patients with pathologically confirmed UT‐UC from January 1994 to December 2006; all had a physical examination (blood pressure), and measurements of laboratory data (serum creatinine, serum haemoglobin) and pathological data. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. Patients were divided into three groups by individual GFR (mL/min), i.e. >60 (no/mild CKD), 30–60 (CKD stage 3) and <30 (CKD stage 4/5).

RESULTS

The CKD stages included 81 (30.3%) patients with none/mild CKD, 121 (45.3%) with CKD stage 3 and 65 (24.3%) with CKD stage 4/5. There was a significant and parallel increase in the frequency of UT‐UC as CKD severity increased from none/mild CKD to stage 3 (11% vs 55%), and from CKD stage 3 to 4/5 (55% vs 71%; P < 0.05). Pathologically, the frequency of high‐grade and high T stage UT‐UC in patients with CKD stage 3 (90% and 35%, respectively) and CKD stage 4/5 (91% and 29%, respectively) were significantly greater than in the group with none/mild CKD (P < 0.001). Advanced age and more distant metastasis were independent risk factors for patient survival.

CONCLUSION

The aggressiveness of UT‐UC increased with the severity of CKD, and this might have important clinical consequences.
