BACKGROUND: The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) is a cell surface
receptor which induces the production of intracellular cAMP and promotes
epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer cell lines. TGR5 is found in
a wide variety of tissues including the kidney. However, the patterns of TGR5
expression have not been well characterized in physiologic kidney or renal
neoplasms. We explore the expression of TGR5 in benign renal tissue and renal
neoplasms and assess its utility as a diagnostic marker. METHODS: Sixty-one renal
cortical neoplasms from 2000 to 2014 were retrieved. TGR5 protein expression was
examined by immunohistochemistry. TGR5 mRNA was also measured by real-time PCR.
RESULTS: In normal renal tissue, TGR5 was strongly positive in collecting ducts,
distal convoluted tubules and thin loop of Henle. Proximal convoluted tubules
showed absent or focal weak staining. In clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCCs),
25 of 27 cases (92%) were negative for TGR5 (p?0.001). TGR5 mRNA was also
significantly decreased in clear cell RCCs, suggesting that decreased TGR5
protein expression may be attributable to the downregulation of TGR5 mRNA in
these tumors. All 11 papillary RCCs expressed TGR5 with 45% (5/11) exhibiting
moderate to strong staining. All chromophobe RCCs and oncocytomas were positive
for TGR5 with weak to moderate staining. TGR5 mRNA expression in these tumors was
similar to normal kidney. All urothelial carcinomas of the renal pelvis strongly
expressed TGR5 including a poorly differentiated urothelial carcinoma with
sarcomatoid features. CONCLUSION: TGR5 is strongly expressed in collecting ducts,
distal convoluted tubules and thin loop of Henle. TGR5 protein and mRNA
expression were notably decreased in clear cell RCCs and may be helpful in
differentiating these tumors from other RCCs.
