Mucin1 (MUC1), a glycoprotein associated with an aggressive cancer phenotype and chemoresistance, is aberrantly overexpressed in subset of clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). Recent studies suggest that MUC1 plays role modulating metabolism, but its regulating immunoflogosis the tumor microenvironment remains poorly understood. In previous study, we showed pentraxin-3 (PTX3) can affect ccRCC by activating classical pathway complement system (C1q) releasing proangiogenic factors (C3a, C5a). this scenario, evaluated PTX3 expression analyzed potential activation on site immune modulation, stratifying samples tumors high (MUC1H) versus low (MUC1L). We found tissue was significantly higher MUC1H ccRCC. addition, C1q deposition expressions CD59, C3aR, C5aR were extensively present colocalized PTX3. Finally, increased number infiltrating mast cells, M2-macrophage, IDO1+ reduced CD8+ T cells. Taken together, our results modulate infiltrate, promoting immune-silent microenvironment.

Mucins are a family of high-molecular-weight glycoproteins. MUC1 is widely studied for its role in distinct types cancers. In many human epithelial malignancies, frequently overexpressed, and intracellular activities crucial cell biology. overexpression can enhance cancer proliferation by modulating metabolism. When cells lose their tight connections, due to the loss polarity, mucins become dispersed on both sides membrane, leading an abnormal mucin interactome with membrane. Tumor-related exhibits certain features, such as apical localization aberrant glycosylation that might cause formation tumor-related antigen epitopes.

Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a therapeutically recalcitrant genitourinary malignancy, exemplifies the profound interplay between oncogenic signaling and metabolic adaptation. Emerging evidence positions reprogramming as central axis of RCC pathogenesis, characterized by dynamic shifts in nutrient utilization that transcend canonical Warburg physiology to encompass lipid anabolism, glutamine auxotrophy, microenvironment-driven plasticity. This orchestrated rewiring cellular energetics sustains tumor proliferation under hypoxia while fostering immunosuppression through metabolite-mediated T exhaustion myeloid-derived suppressor activation. Crucially, exhibits heterogeneity across histological subtypes intratumoral regions—a feature increasingly recognized determinant therapeutic resistance. Our review systematically deciphers molecular architecture metabolism, elucidating how VHL/HIF mutations, mTOR pathway dysregulation, epigenetic modifiers converge reshape glucose flux, droplet biogenesis, amino acid catabolism. We present novel insights into spatial zonation within tumors, where pseudohypoxic niches engage lactate shuttling cholesterol efflux adjacent vasculature, creating pro-angiogenic immunosuppressive microdomains. Therapeutically, we evaluate first-in-class inhibitors targeting rate-limiting enzymes de novo lipogenesis proposing biomarker-driven strategies overcome compensatory highlight synergy glutaminase PD-1 blockade reinvigorating CD8 + function, role lipid-loaded cancer-associated fibroblasts shielding tumors from ferroptosis.

Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is fundamentally a metabolic disease. To investigate the underlying metabolite changes in occurrence of ccRCC, we analyzed untargeted metabolomics 15 ccRCC samples and paired adjacent non-malignant tissues by UHPLC-MS/MS analyses. In this study, 511 differential metabolites were screened, which top ten up-regulated histamine, 1-methylnicotinamide, L-kynurenine, cortisol, tetrahydrocorticosterone, calcitriol, D-erythrose 4-phosphate, citric acid, sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphate, UDP-alpha-D-galactose, down-regulated D-cysteine, acetylcholine, pantothenic cytosine, UMP, biocytin, dUMP, 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate, cytidine-5'-monophosphate, 16α-hydroxyestrone. KEGG pathways enrichment analysis further demonstrated several highlighted pathways: steroid hormone biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, vitamin digestion absorption.
