Abstract

In renal cell carcinoma (RCC), interleukin (IL)-1β may be a pro-metastatic cytokine. However, we have not yet noted the clinical association between tumoral expression or serum level of IL-1β and RCC in our patient cohort. Herein, we investigate molecular mechanisms elicited by IL-1β in RCC. We found that IL-1β stimulates substantial monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 production in RCC cells by activating NF-kB and AP-1. In our xenograft RCC model, intra-tumoral MCP-1 injection down-regulated Ki67 expression and reduced tumor size. Microarray analysis revealed that MCP-1 treatment altered protein-folding processes in RCC cells. MCP-1-treated RCC cells and xenograft tumors expressed MCP-1-induced protein (MCPIP) and molecules involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis, namely C/EBP Homologous Protein (CHOP), protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK), and calnexin (CNX). ER stress-mediated apoptosis in MCP-1-treated RCC cells was confirmed using Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay. Moreover, ectopic MCPIP expression increased PERK expression in Human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells. Our meta-analysis revealed that low MCP-1 levels reduce 1-year post-nephrectomy survival in patients with RCC. Immunohistochemistry indicated that in some RCC biopsy samples, the correlation between MCP-1 or MCPIP expression and tumor stages was inverse. Thus, MCP-1 and MCPIP potentially reduce the IL-1β-mediated oncogenic effect in RCC; our findings suggest that ER stress is a potential RCC treatment target.
