The extensive lipid accumulation occurred in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) resulted in a clear cell cytoplasm. Hypoxia inducible factor alpha (HIF-?) was constitutively expressed in many ccRCC and transcriptionally regulates greater than one hundred genes. In a recent breakthrough study, HIF-1? induced ccRCC in transgenic mice. Based on these findings, we developed a hypothesis that accounted for HIF-? generation of the clear cell phenotype. The aim of the present study to use immunohistochemical staining methods in tissue microarray (TMA) to determine the extent to which the clear cell phenotype coincided with HIF-? expression in primary and metastatic ccRCC. In addition, we studied whether the prolyl-hydroxylases (PHD2,3) play a role in promoting the elevated expression of HIF-? in tumor cells. The clear cell phenotype was observed in all primary and metastatic cases of ccRCC examined. A total of 168 renal cell carcinomas were evaluated by immunohistochemical methods; 141/168(84%) of tumors expressed HIF-? (HIF-1? and/or HIF-2?). In contrast, HIF-? was expressed in only 1/23 (4%) of non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas. These data supported the hypothesis that in the majority of the tumors HIF-? expression overlapped with the clear cell phenotype, and was indicative of a HIF-? mediated lipid accumulation. In a smaller percentage of ccRCC cases (16%) HIF-? was not detected in the tumor cells and suggested that lipid accumulation by HIF-? -lipid independent process. PHD3 was undetectable in both primary and metastatic ccRCC cases. We concluded that the undetectable PHD3 could contribute to the higher HIF-? expression in ccRCC.
