Epigenetic modification of PHLDA2 is associated with tumor microenvironment and unfavorable outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Background: A substantial proportion of patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cannot derive benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) plus anti-angiogenic agent combination therapy, making identification of predictive biomarkers an urgent need. The members of pleckstrin homology-like domain family A (PHLDA) play critical roles in multiple cancers, whereas their roles in ccRCC remain unknown.
Methods: Transcriptomic, clinical, genetic alteration and DNA methylation data were obtained for integrated analyses from TCGA database. RNA sequencing was performed on 117 primary tumors and 79 normal kidney tissues from our center. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis, gene set enrichment analysis were performed to explore transcriptomic features. Data from three randomized controlled trials (RCT), including CheckMate025, IMmotion151, JAVELIN101, were obtained for validation.
Results: Members of PHLDA family were dysregulated in pan-cancer. Elevated PHLDA2 expression was associated with adverse clinicopathologic parameters and worse prognosis in ccRCC. Aberrant DNA hypomethylation contributed to up-regulation of PHLDA2. An immunosuppressive microenvironment featured by high infiltrates of Tregs and cancer-associated fibroblasts, was observed in ccRCC with higher PHLDA2 expression. Utilizing data from three RCTs, the association of elevated PHLDA2 expression with poor therapeutic efficacy of ICI plus anti-angiogenic combination therapy was confirmed.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that elevated PHLDA2 expression regulated by DNA hypomethylation was correlated with poor prognosis and immunosuppressive microenvironment, and highlighted the role of PHLDA2 as a robust biomarker for predicting therapeutic efficacy of ICI plus anti-angiogenic agent combination therapy in ccRCC, which expand the dimension of precision medicine.
