Introduction (1)
9th most Common malignant tumors in U.S.
Notorious for distant metastasis
Lung,
lymph node, liver, bone, and brain
Subtypes:
Conventional; (clear cell) carcinoma
Papillary carcinoma
Chromophobe carcinoma
D/D with oncocytoma (benign)
Collecting duct carcinoma
Unclassified
carcinoma
Introduction (2)
Immunostaining Markers in RCC
CD10
90% of RCCs
also detected in many hepatocellular
carcinomas, prostatic carcinomas,
and urothelial carcinomas
Positive in normal renal tissue
RCC Ma
(RCC marker)
84-92% of primary RCC and
67-84% 0f metastatic RCC
Positive in normal renal tissue
Coexpression of epithelial
membrane antigen and
vimentin

(Carbonic anhydrase IX)
100% of clear cell RCC and
papillary RCC
Also expressed in cervical dysplasia
and carcinoma

100% of papillary RCCs and
some primary and metastatic
clear cell RCC
marker for prostatic adenocarcinoma
Positive in normal renal tissue
CD9/MPR1),
Antimitochondrialantibody

tissue
none of the aforementioned markers is absolutely sensitive and specific for RCC
Introduction (4)
Human kidney injury molecule-1 (hKIM-1)
= TIM-1 (T cell immunoglobin domain andmucin domain protein 1)
= HAVCR1 (hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1)
Gene: located in human chromosome 5q
Type I transmembranous glycoprotein
containing an extracellular immunoglobulinlike domain topping a long
mucinlike sequence
As biomarker for regeneration of renal proximal tubules after tubular injury.3

Case Selection
264
cases of renal epithelial neoplasm
anonymous and disassociated from any
clinical data
Material and Method (2)
TMA sections
221 cases of nonrenal tumors from various organs to
test the specificity of anti-hKIM-1 antibody

area of paraffin block

Immunohistochemistry
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded 4μm sections
Antibody to hKIM-1
AKG7 monoclonal antibody
Confirmed by ABE3 antibody in CCCO and uterus
Positive control: Kidney tissues with acute tubular
necrosis
Negative control: replacement of the primary
antibody with nonimmune mouse serum
Interpretation: 2 surgical pathologists
indicates negative; 1+, <10%; 2+, 11% to 50%; 3+, >50%.
Material and Method (5)
Western Blot
4
cases of renal tumor with different subtypes
Normal renal tissue from a clear cell RCC case
Frozen tissue blocksLysed tissue homogenatws

Transferred onto polyvinyl diflouride membranes
Incubated with AKG7 monoclonal antibody
Evenness
of the protein loading: antibody to β-actin

and stored at -80℃.

Results (1)
Non-neoplastic renal tissue
Negative:
Glomeruli,
vessels,
inflammatory cells,
interstitialcells,
lymphoid aggregates
interstitial tissues
Positive immunoreactivity was
observed in proximal tubules,
with a cytoplasmic /
membranous staining pattern
during acute tubular necrosis
2 of 20 case in TMA showed
focal immunostaining
occasional proximal tubules

Renal Epithelial Neoplasm

Result (3)
Clear

Result (4)
Chromophobe
RCC
Result (5)
Diffuse immunoreactivity was more frequently observed in highgrade clear cell RCC (56%) than in low-grade clear cell
2/2 sacromatoid RCC were positive
1 case of Wilms tumor and no immunoreactivity was observed (data
not shown)
Result (6)
Metastatic clear
cell RCC
The percentages of positive
cases were not significantly
different among
theseanatomic sites.

Discussion
Do we really need another
immunohistochemical marker?
Discussion
Differentiated from normal renal tissue
The previously reported biomarkers are expressed in normal renal tissue
Murine KIM-1 expressed in actived T cells and linked to air hypersensitivity, but
hKIM-1 does not
Negative staining in:
Non-neoplastic renal tissues
Transplanted renal biopsy with acute cellular rejection
Positive staining in:
(1) proximal tubules adjacent to renal tumors
(2) proximal and distal tubules in the tumorous kidney, probably secondary to tumor
obstruction and compression
(3) atrophic renal tubules;
(4) proximal tubules associated with tubular injury,such as hypoxia, ischemia, toxin,
infection, etc
Discussion
More specific to clear cell RCC and papillary RCC
Oncocytoma: only 4 of 41 (9.8%) with focally positive stained
Chromophobe RCC: all negative
CD-10 also expressed in oncocytoma
RCC Ma also expressed in chromophobe RCC
P504S also expressed in both oncocytoma and chromophobe
RCC
S-100 also expressed in >90% oncocytoma
Discussion
More specific to metastatic RCC
Han
et al: only 1 of 450 nonrenal tumor was positive
(HCC)
CD10, RCC Ma, S-100, P504S, glutathione Stransferase-a, CD117: well-documented in other
nonrenal tumors
Why
higher positive reaction than previoud Han’s
study?
CCCO and uterus were not included
The previous study only checked TMA
Discussion
What are the unique features and utility of
this antibody?
Discussion
Expression of hKIM-1 in CCCO (93.8%)
Both ovary and uterus serous carcinoma and endometroid carcinoma
lacked hKIM-1 expression
Dent and coworkers: gene amplification in CCCO was most common at
chromosome 3
Von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor genes:
located at the chromosome 3p25; and the von Hippel-Lindau
tumorsuppressor
closely linked to the tumorigenesis of both sporadic and hereditary clear cell
RCC
hKIM-1 had similar role in both clear cell RCC and CCCO?
Anti-hKIM-1Ab may be used in targeted cancer therapy for CCCO?
Discussion
clear cell carcinoma of the uterus
only
33% expressed hKIM-1
not related to chromosome 3 alternation
Clear cell carcinoma of uterus
Adenocarcinoma of the colon
Discussion
Focal positive staining in adenocarcinoma of the colon
5 of 40 cases
Pattern: apical portions of neoplastic glands
Only in well and moderately differentiatied colonic
adenocarcinoma
the AKG7 anti-hKIM-1 monoclonal antibody:against the
extracellular mucin domaincross reaction

Conclusion
HKIM-1 is a relatively sensitive and
specific marker for
confirming
the diagnosis of papillary RCC,
clear cell RCC, and metastatic RCC
distinguishing clear cell RCC from
chromophobe RCC and oncocytoma
identifying CCCO
