Two hallmarks of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are constitutive
hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling and abundant intracellular lipid
droplets (LD). However, regulation of lipid storage and its role in ccRCC are
incompletely understood. Transcriptional profiling of primary ccRCC samples
revealed that expression of the LD coat protein gene PLIN2 was elevated in tumors
and correlated with HIF2?, but not HIF1?, activation. HIF2?-dependent PLIN2
expression promoted lipid storage, proliferation, and viability in xenograft
tumors. Mechanistically, lipid storage maintained integrity of the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER), which is functionally and physically associated with LDs.
Specifically, PLIN2-dependent lipid storage suppressed cytotoxic ER stress
responses that otherwise result from elevated protein synthetic activity
characteristic of ccRCC cells. Thus, in addition to promoting ccRCC proliferation
and anabolic metabolism, HIF2? modulates lipid storage to sustain ER homeostasis,
particularly under conditions of nutrient and oxygen limitation, thereby
promoting tumor cell survival. SIGNIFICANCE: We demonstrate that HIF2? promotes
lipid storage, ER homeostasis, and cell viability in ccRCC via upregulation of
the LD coat protein PLIN2, revealing a novel function for the well-documented
"clear-cell" phenotype and identifying ER stress as a targetable vulnerability
created by HIF2?/PLIN2 suppression in this common renal malignancy.
