    Title translation Advancement in the treatment of renal carcinoma.
    Abstract Partial nephrectomy is the gold standard for the renal tumours less than 7 to 10cm whenever feasible in order to preserve renal function. The extension of nephron-sparing surgery using a mini-invasive approach is possible by robotic surgery. Radical nephrectomy is mandatory in the other situations and especially in case of locally advanced renal carcinoma. The place of cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma is the purpose of the CARMENA trial. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are currently the first line treatment; but in the near future new immunotherapy by checkpoints molecules could crucially change the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Numerous trials in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant settings are ongoing.

    Abstract Angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy derived from endothelial cells, which behaves aggressively. Primary angiosarcoma of the kidney is even rarer, and its clinical and radiological presentations do not differ from clear cells renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Management protocols are not standardized, although nephrectomy is usually performed. Subsequent treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and lately, targeted therapies) vary considerably. Herein, we report the case of a middle-aged patient harboring primary angiosarcoma of the left kidney and discuss its presentation and management in light of current guidelines. The case is described for its rarity and masquerading nature.

    Abstract 7-Deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin was purified at small-scale from the supernatant of a culture of the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. PCC 10702. This metabolite was obtained in a pure form using a three-step chromatographic procedure, and its identity was confirmed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). LC–MS quantification showed that this metabolite was excreted in the culture medium of Oscillatoria sp. PCC 10702. Isotopic incorporation studies using [2-¹³C,¹⁵N]glycine, a cylindrospermopsin precursor, and Oscillatoria sp. PCC 10702 cells showed that glycine was incorporated into 7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin, 7-deoxy-cylindrospermopsin, 7-epi-cylindrospermopsin, and cylindrospermopsin. The isotopic incorporation rate was consistent with the following metabolic flux: 7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin → 7-deoxy-cylindrospermopsin → 7-epi-cylindrospermopsin and cylindrospermopsin. We have cloned the cyrJ gene into an expression vector and overproduced the putative sulfotransferase CyrJ in Escherichia coli. The purified protein CyrJ catalyzed, in vitro, the transfer of a sulfonate group from 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to 7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin to give 7-deoxy-cylindrospermopsin. Kinetic analysis afforded the following apparent constants: KM ₐₚₚ. (PAPS) = 0.12 μM, Vₘₐₓ ₐₚₚ. = 20 nM/min, KM ₐₚₚ. (7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin) = 0.12 μM, and KI ₐₚₚ. (7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin) = 4.1 μM. Preliminary data suggested that CyrJ catalyzed the reaction through a ternary-complex kinetic mechanism. All these data confirmed that CyrJ catalyzed a sulfotransfer during the penultimate step of the biosynthesis of cylindrospermopsin.

    Abstract Cylindrospermopsin, a major cyanotoxin, is produced by freshwater cyanobacteria. Its biosynthesis starts from arginine and glycine and involves five polyketide synthases and several tailoring enzymes. We report the identification of 7-deoxy-desulfo-argino-cylindrospermopsin in several cylindrospermopsin-producing cyanobacteria using mass spectrometry experiments. We have purified this new metabolite and established its structure by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy using scalar-based ¹H-¹H, ¹H-¹³C, and ¹H-¹⁵N as well as 2D ¹H-¹H ROESY correlation experiments. Using labeled arginines in isotopic incorporation experiments, we have shown that arginine is fully incorporated into 7-deoxy-desulfo-argino-cylindrospermopsin and that the uracil ring of cylindrospermopsin originates from the guanidino moiety of arginine, thus solving a long-standing puzzling question. CyrG and CyrH from the cylindrospermopsin-producing Oscillatoria sp. PCC 6506 were overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. We showed that CyrG is a zinc-dependent hydrolase, homologous to adenosine deaminases, that transforms 7-deoxy-desulfo-argino-cylindrospermopsin into 7-deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin and ornithine, with the following kinetic parameters: KM = 0.21 ± 0.05 μM and kcₐₜ = 0.19 ± 0.02 min–¹. CyrG contained 0.55 mol of zinc per mol of monomer but could be activated by Feᴵᴵ or Coᴵᴵ. CyrH contained almost no metal and showed no such activity even in the presence of excess metal. Using structure-based alignments and secondary structure predictions, we propose that the fifth and last polyketide synthase CyrF in cylindrospermopsin biosynthesis contains an unprecedented C-terminal domain homologous to N-acetyltransferases. We suggest that this domain catalyzes the condensation of the CyrF product with arginine to give 7-deoxy-desulfo-argino-cylindrospermopsin. This would be an unprecedented termination step for a polyketide synthase.
