Abstract
Objectives: While recent studies have demonstrated several genetic alterations are associated with pathogenesis of RCC, the significance of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) in tumorigenesis of RCC is less clear. We investigate the distribution of CDKN2A and CDKN2B mutations in patients with RCC and analyze the impact of CDKN2A and CDKN2B mutations on RCC. Methods: A pathological examination was conducted using thirty fresh renal tissue samples with renal masses that had undergone partial or radical nephrectomy. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was used to detect genetic aberrations of CDKN2A and CDKN2B in genomic DNA isolated from samples. Subsequently, CDKN2A and CDKN2B mutations were confirmed using chromosomal microarray technique. Results: Twenty-one patients were diagnosed with RCC, eight with benign diseases, including angiomyolipoma (AML) and oncocytoma, and one with mucinous adenocarcinoma of renal pelvis. Two of twenty-one patients (9.5 %) with clear-cell RCC were positive for CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene deletions. Interestingly, patients with CDKN2A and CDKN2B mutations were associated with sarcomatoid patterns of RCC (2 out of 4, 50 %). In contrast, no CDKN2A or CDKN2B deletions were detected in samples from benign renal tumors, papillary RCC, or other kidney cancers. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potential use of CDKN2A and CDKN2B as biomarkers for the prognostic and molecular classification of renal cancer. CDKN2A and CDKN2B mutations may be associated with RCC development and sarcomatoid changes. Further research is needed to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of CDKN2A and CDKN2B in the pathogenesis of RCC.
