BACKGROUND: TFE3 rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3 rRCC), classified as a distinct entity of RCCs, exhibits aggressive biological behavior and possesses unique metabolic characteristics. In the present study, TFE3 rRCC with high expression of TFE3 fusion proteins was employed to investigate the features of lipid metabolism and its underlying mechanism in cancer progression.
METHODS: Fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were employed to detect lipid droplets (LDs). GPO-PAP method and Oil Red O staining were used to quantify triacylglycerol levels. The data for bioinformatics analysis were sourced from GEO and iProX. The biological roles of TFE3 and LAMP2A were investigated by CCK8 assay, EdU staining, seahorse, transwell assay, colony, and sphere formation assay. The regulatory mechanisms involving TFE3, LAMP2A and Hsc70 were investigated using western blotting, immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, luciferase assays, Co-IP techniques, and ChIP analyses.
RESULTS: The level of LDs accumulation in TFE3 rRCC was relatively low, and the knockdown of TFE3 led to an increase in LDs accumulation while inhibiting tumor progression. The underlying mechanism revealed that TFE3 fusion proteins inhibited the biosynthesis of LDs within the endoplasmic reticulum by promoting the degradation of DGAT1 and DGAT2 via autophagy. Furthermore, TFE3 fusion proteins upregulated LAMP2A, thereby enhancing chaperone-mediated autophagy pathways. The process facilitated the degradation of LDs and promoted oxidative metabolism of long-chain fatty acids in mitochondria.
CONCLUSIONS: TFE3 fusion proteins facilitated the progression of TFE3 rRCC through enhancing the degradation of LDs via chaperone-mediated lipophagy. LAMP2A could serve as a novel potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic targets.
