The adipocyte-like morphology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells results from a grade-dependent neutral lipid accumulation; however, the molecular mechanism and role in renal cancer progression have yet to be clarified. ccRCC shows a gene expression signature consistent with adipogenesis, and the phospholipid-binding protein annexin A3 (AnxA3), a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation, is down-regulated in RCC and shows a differential expression pattern for two isoforms of 36 and 33 kDa. Using primary cell cultures and cell lines, we investigated the involvement of AnxA3 isoforms in lipid storage modulation of ccRCC cells. We found that the increased accumulation of lipids into ccRCC cells correlated with a decrease of the 36/33 isoform ratio. Treatment with adipogenic medium induced a significant increment of lipid storage in ccRCC cells that had a low 36-kDa AnxA3 expression and 36/33 ratio. The 36-kDa AnxA3 silencing in ccRCC cells increased lipid storage induced by adipogenic medium. These data suggest that 36-kDa AnxA3 negatively modulates the response to adipogenic treatment and may act as negative regulator of lipid storage in ccRCC cells. The subcellular distribution of AnxA3 in the cellular endocytic compartment suggests its involvement in modulation of vesicular trafficking, and it might serve as a putative mechanism of lipid storage regulation in ccRCC cells, opening novel translational outcomes.

Abstract

The adipocyte-like morphology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells results from a grade-dependent neutral lipid accumulation; however, the molecular mechanism and role in renal cancer progression have yet to be clarified. ccRCC shows a gene expression signature consistent with adipogenesis, and the phospholipid-binding protein annexin A3 (AnxA3), a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation, is down-regulated in RCC and shows a differential expression pattern for two isoforms of 36 and 33 kDa. Using primary cell cultures and cell lines, we investigated the involvement of AnxA3 isoforms in lipid storage modulation of ccRCC cells. We found that the increased accumulation of lipids into ccRCC cells correlated with a decrease of the 36/33 isoform ratio. Treatment with adipogenic medium induced a significant increment of lipid storage in ccRCC cells that had a low 36-kDa AnxA3 expression and 36/33 ratio. The 36-kDa AnxA3 silencing in ccRCC cells increased lipid storage induced by adipogenic medium. These data suggest that 36-kDa AnxA3 negatively modulates the response to adipogenic treatment and may act as negative regulator of lipid storage in ccRCC cells. The subcellular distribution of AnxA3 in the cellular endocytic compartment suggests its involvement in modulation of vesicular trafficking, and it might serve as a putative mechanism of lipid storage regulation in ccRCC cells, opening novel translational outcomes.
