    Abstract Ample evidence indicates that the development and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are complex pathological processes involving interactions between tumor cells, immune cells and stromal components. Tumor infiltrated immune cells determine whether tumor advancement is promoted or inhibited. Among them, infiltrated B lymphocytes are present in all stages of RCC, playing a major role in determining tumor formation and advancement, as an essential part in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Although the advent of targeted and immune therapies has remarkably improved the survival of patients with advanced RCC, few cases can achieve complete response due to drug resistance. In this review article, we intend to summary the recent studies that outline the interaction networks of B cells with other cells, discuss the role of B cells in RCC development and progression, and assess their impact on RCC immunotherapy.

    Abstract Activation of STING signaling in DCs promotes antitumor immunity. Aerobic glycolysis is a metabolic hallmark of activated DCs, but how the glycolytic pathway intersects with STING signaling in tumor-infiltrating DCs remains elusive. Here, we show that glycolysis drives STING signaling to facilitate DC-mediated antitumor immune responses. Tumor-infiltrating DCs exhibited elevated glycolysis, and blockade of glycolysis by DC-specific Ldha/Ldhb double deletion resulted in defective antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, glycolysis augmented ATP production to boost STING activation and STING-dependent DC antitumor functions. Moreover, DC-intrinsic STING activation accelerated HIF-1α–mediated glycolysis and established a positive feedback loop. Importantly, glycolysis facilitated STING-dependent DC activity in tissue samples from patients with non–small cell lung cancer. Our results provide mechanistic insight into how the crosstalk of glycolytic metabolism and STING signaling enhances DC antitumor activity and can be harnessed to improve cancer therapies.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has been widely used in renal cell carcinoma treatment. The efficacy of GreenLight laser on Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is still unknown.
    Aim: To present the first series of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) by GreenLight laser enucleation without renal artery clamping. Due to the excellent coagulation and hemostatic properties of the laser, laser-assisted LPN (LLPN) makes it possible to perform a "zero ischemia" resection.
    Methods: Fifteen patients with T1a exogenous renal tumors who received high-power GreenLight laser non-ischemic LPN in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All clinical information, surgical and post-operative data, complications, pathological and functional outcomes were analyzed.
    Results: Surgery was successfully completed in all patients, and no open or radical nephrectomy was performed. The renal artery was not clamped, leading to no ischemic time. No blood transfusions were required, the average hemoglobin level ranged from 96.0 to 132.0 g/L and no postoperative complications occurred. The mean operation time was 104.3 ± 8.2 min. The postoperative removal of negative pressure drainage time ranged from 5.0 to 7.0 d, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.5 ± 0.7 d. No serious complications occurred. Postoperative pathological results showed clear cell carcinoma in 12 patients, papillary renal cell carcinoma in 2 patients, and hamartoma in 1 patient. The mean creatinine level was 75.0 ± 0.8 μmol/L (range 61.0-90.4 μmol/L) at 1 mo after surgery, and there were no statistically significant differences compared with pre-operation (
    Conclusion: GreenLight laser has extraordinary cutting and sealing advantages when used for small renal tumors (exogenous tumors of stage T1a) during LPN. However, use of this technique can lead to the generation of excessive smoke.

    Abstract Previous bulk RNA sequencing or whole genome sequencing on clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) subtyping mainly focused on ccRCC cell origin or the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Based on the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of 11 primary ccRCC specimens, cancer stem-cell-like subsets could be differentiated into five trajectories, whereby we further classified ccRCC cells into three groups with diverse molecular features. These three ccRCC subgroups showed significantly different outcomes and potential targets to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Tumor cells in three differentiation directions exhibited distinct interactions with other subsets in the ccRCC niches. The subtyping model was examined through immunohistochemistry staining in our ccRCC cohort and validated the same classification effect as the public patients. All these findings help gain a deeper understanding about the pathogenesis of ccRCC and provide useful clues for optimizing therapeutic schemes based on the molecular subtype analysis.

    Abstract Tumor growth, metastasis and therapeutic response are believed to be regulated by the tumor and its microenvironment (TME) in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the mechanisms underlying genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic alternations in RCC progression have not been completely defined. In this study, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were obtained from eight tissue samples of RCC patients, including two matched pairs of primary and metastatic sites (lymph nodes), along with Hi-C, transposable accessible chromatin by high-throughput (ATAC-seq) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) between RCC (Caki-1) and human renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). The identified target was verified in clinical tissue samples (microarray of 407 RCC patients, TMA-30 and TMA-2020), whose function was further validated by in vitro and in vivo experiments through knockdown or overexpression. We profiled transcriptomes of 30514 malignant cells, and 14762 non-malignant cells. Comprehensive multi-omics analysis revealed that malignant cells and TME played a key role in RCC. The expression programs of stromal cells and immune cells were consistent among the samples, whereas malignant cells expressed distinct programs associated with hypoxia, cell cycle, epithelial differentiation, and two different metastasis patterns. Comparison of the hierarchical structure showed that SERPINE2 was related to these NNMF expression programs, and at the same time targeted the switched compartment. SERPINE2 was highly expressed in RCC tissues and lowly expressed in para-tumor tissues or HK-2 cell line. SERPINE2 knockdown markedly suppressed RCC cell growth and invasion, while SERPINE2 overexpression dramatically promoted RCC cell metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, SERPINE2 could activate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathway. The above findings demonstrated that the role of distinct expression patterns of malignant cells and TME played a distinct role in RCC progression. SERPINE2 was identified as a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting metastasis in advanced RCC.

    Abstract Background: Autophagy is believed to participate in embryonic development, but whether the expression of autophagy-associated genes undergoes changes during the development of human embryonic kidneys remains unknown.
    Methods: In this work, we identified 36,151 human renal cells from embryonic kidneys of 9-18 gestational weeks in 16 major clusters by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and detected 1350 autophagy-related genes in all fetal renal cells. The abundance of each cell cluster in Wilms tumor samples from scRNA-seq and GDC TARGET WT datasets was detected by CIBERSORTx. R package Monocle 3 was used to determine differentiation trajectories. Cyclone tool of R package scran was applied to calculate the cell cycle scores. R package SCENIC was used to investigate the transcriptional regulons. The FindMarkers tool from Seurat was used to calculate DEGs. GSVA was used to perform gene set enrichment analyses. CellphoneDB was utilized to analyze intercellular communication.
    Results: It was found that cells in the 13th gestational week showed the lowest transcriptional level in each cluster in all stages. Nephron progenitors could be divided into four subgroups with diverse levels of autophagy corresponding to different SIX2 expressions. SSBpod (podocyte precursors) could differentiate into four types of podocytes (Pod), and autophagy-related regulation was involved in this process. Pseudotime analysis showed that interstitial progenitor cells (IPCs) potentially possessed two primitive directions of differentiation to interstitial cells with different expressions of autophagy. It was found that NPCs, pretubular aggregates and interstitial cell clusters had high abundance in Wilms tumor as compared with para-tumor samples with active intercellular communication.
    Conclusions: All these findings suggest that autophagy may be involved in the development and cellular heterogeneity of early human fetal kidneys. In addition, part of Wilms tumor cancer cells possess the characteristics of some fetal renal cell clusters.
