摘要

Rationale and Objectives

Radiogenomics of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has been developed thanks to the availability of genomic data, both gene expressions and gene mutations, obtained through the sequencing of ccRCC genome. These data are collected in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network-work. Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 12 (ADAM12) gene belongs to the family of genes coding for multidomain and multifunctional type I transmembrane proteins ADAMs. These proteins are fundamental for regulating cell adhesion and mediating proteolysis of a series of cell surface receptors and signal molecules extracellular domains. Recently, a correlation was detected between ADAM12 expression in ccRCC and tumor aggressiveness in terms of cell proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor progression, metastases, and poor prognosis, suggesting ADAM12 as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in ccRCC. The computed tomography (CT) imaging phenotype of ADAM12 expression in ccRCC has never been studied. The aim of this study is to investigate the CT imaging phenotype of ADAM12 expression in ccRCC patients.

Materials and Methods

In this retrospective study, we enrolled 202 ccRCC patients divided into two groups: ccRCC patients with ADAM12 expression (n = 35) and ccRCC patients without ADAM12 expression (n = 167). Different imaging features were evaluated on CT scan at first diagnosis. The statistical significance threshold was set at p < 0.05.

Results

A statistically significant correlation was found with larger primary tumor size (p = 0.020), ill-defined tumor margins (p = 0.044), tumor necrosis (p = 0.011), and collecting system invasion (p = 0.014).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates CT imaging features associated to ADAM12 expression in ccRCC. These results could help delve into ADAM12 gene status through CT approach and to further investigate towards the development of targeted therapies in ccRCC.
