Abstract
The aim of our study was to analyse the expression of CXCL16, ADAM10 and CXCR6 in
renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissue and to correlate the expression pattern with clinicopathologic
data, including patient survival. Furthermore, we investigated CXCL16, ADAM10 and
CXCR6 expressions by FACS, immunofluorescence and ELISA analysis in renal carcinoma
cell lines. Our immunohistochemical analysis on tissue microarray of renal cancer
samples of 104 patients revealed that ADAM10 correlated significantly with tumour
stage, pathological nodal status, M status and lymphangiosis carcinomatosa. CXCL16,
CXCR6 and ADAM10 were significantly increased in papillary carcinomas. Importantly,
high levels of CXCL16 expression in renal cancer tissue correlated with better survival
of patients, and CXCL16 correlated inversely to the tumour stage. In addition, inhibition
of CXCL16 induced the migration of renal cancer cells assuming an anti-migratory function
of transmembrane CXCL16. Taken together, our data demonstrate that downregulation
of CXCL16 plays an important role in renal cancer development and progression, and
that CXCL16 in RCC is an independent prognostic marker for better patient survival.
