ARTICLE ABSTRACT

Mutations in the von Hippel–Lindau gene upregulate expression of the central angiogenic factor VEGF, which drives abnormal angiogenesis in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). However, the overexpression of VEGF in these tumors was not found to correlate with overall survival. Here, we show that the proangiogenic, proinflammatory cytokine CXCL7 is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in this setting. CXCL7 antibodies strongly reduced the growth of ccRCC tumors in nude mice. Conversely, conditional overexpression of CXCL7 accelerated ccRCC development. CXCL7 promoted cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro, in which expression of CXCL7 was induced by the central proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β. ccRCC cells normally secrete low amounts of CXCL7; it was more highly expressed in tumors due to high levels of IL-1β there. We found that a pharmacological inhibitor of the CXCL7 receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 (SB225002) was sufficient to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation and ccRCC growth. Because CXCR1 and CXCR2 are present on both endothelial and ccRCC cells, their inhibition affected both the tumor vasculature and the proliferation of tumor cells. Our results highlight the CXCL7/CXCR1/CXCR2 axis as a pertinent target for the treatment of ccRCC. Cancer Res; 74(3); 873–83. ©2013 AACR.
