Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with hypercalcemia (HC) have worse outcomes. HC often involves PTHrP, and the role of HIF-2 is incompletely understood. Leveraging RCC tumorgraft (TG) models of HC, which were characterized by tumor cell autonomous inflamatory/immune signatures, we show that HIF-2 inhibition with PT2399 frequently normalized calcium, downregulated circulating PTHrP and reduced HIF-2 binding to the PTHLH (PTHrP) promoter. Likely contributing to the selective induction of PTHrP in a subset of HIF-2-dependent tumors, the PTHLH locus was generally more accessible in TG(HC). However, PTHLH chromatin accessibility was grossly unaffected by PT2399, unlike elsewhere (including EPO locus in a TG with paraneoplastic polycythemia). As in TGs, paraneoplastic HC in patients was associated with clear cell (cc)RCC (and sarcomatoid/rhabdoid differentiation) and was rapidly corrected by PT2977/belzutifan, which unlike bisphosphonates, downregulated PTHrP. Our data supports evaluating HIF-2 antagonists for ccRCC patients with paraneoplastic HC, which may serve as a predictive biomarker.
