Abstract
Background

GATA-3 is a transcription factor involved in human growth and development. Recent studies found its association with breast cancer, however, its expression profile in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been investigated.

Material and method

The study included 35 patients submitted to radical nephrectomy with confirmed pathological diagnosis of RCC. Normal control kidney tissues were obtained from 25 living kidney donors and tissues were biopsied before implantation. The majority of RCC samples were diagnosed as clear cell renal cell carcinoma (94.3%) except for 1 case of papillary RCC and 1 case of collecting duct carcinoma. GATA-3 expression was evaluated by quantitative PCR and Western blotting (WB) in RCC samples and normal kidneys respectively, immunohistochemical staining was performed as well. Meanwhile, the GATA-3 expression in two cancer cell lines (786-O, ACHN) and normal kidney epithelial cells (HK-2) was detected by PCR and WB. In addition, renal cancer cells and HK-2 cells were cultivated and detected by confocal microscopy for the exact intra-cellular localization of GATA-3.

Results

Data showed a significant down-regulation of GATA-3 expression present in neoplastic tissues compared with normal tissues; similarly, GATA-3 was significantly attenuated in all renal cancer cell lines compared with normal HK-2 cells. Confocal displayed a strong cytoplasmic immuno-fluorescence activity of GATA-3 with peri-nuclear zone in HK-2, whereas the intensity in cancer cells was markedly weaker than that of HK-2.

Conclusions

In summary, our present study clarifies that the aberrant expression profile of GATA-3 in human RCC is possibly involved with tumorigenesis, and the complicated mechanism is worthy of further investigation.

Resumen
Antecedentes

GATA-3 es un factor de transcripción implicado en el crecimiento y desarrollo humano. Estudios recientes han demostrado su asociación con el cáncer de mama, sin embargo, su perfil de expresión en el carcinoma de células renales (CCR) no se ha investigado.

Material y método

El estudio incluyó a 35 pacientes sometidos a nefrectomía radical con diagnóstico patológico confirmado de CCR. Se obtuvieron tejidos renales de control normales de 25 donantes vivos de riñón y los tejidos se biopsiaron antes de la implantación. La mayoría de las muestras de CCR fueron diagnosticadas como carcinoma renal de células claras (94,3%), excepto para un caso de CCR papilar y otro caso de carcinoma del sistema colector. La expresión de GATA-3 se evaluó por PCR cuantitativa y Western blot (WB) en muestras de CCR y riñones normales, respectivamente; también se realizó tinción inmunohistoquímica. Mientras tanto, la expresión de GATA-3 en 2 líneas celulares de cáncer (786-O, ACHN) y células epiteliales de riñón normales (HK-2) se detectó por PCR y WB. Además, las células renales cancerosas y las células HK-2 se cultivaron y se detectaron por microscopia confocal para la exacta localización intracelular de GATA-3.

Resultados

Los datos mostraron una importante subregulación de la expresión de GATA-3 presente en los tejidos neoplásicos en comparación con los tejidos normales; de manera similar, GATA-3 se atenuó significativamente en todas las líneas celulares de cáncer renal en comparación con las células HK-2 normales. La confocal mostró una fuerte actividad citoplásmica inmuno-fluorescente de GATA-3 con la zona perinuclear en HK-2, mientras que la intensidad en las células cancerosas fue notablemente más débil que la de HK-2.

Conclusiones

En resumen, nuestro estudio aclara que el perfil de expresión aberrante de GATA-3 en el CCR humano está posiblemente involucrado en la tumorogénesis, y el complicado mecanismo es digno de mayor investigación.
