The V2R signaling in ccRCC tumor cells stimulates the activation, migration, and proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts. V2R regulates the production of fibroblast-activating factors, some of which are also regulated by YAP.
Vasopressin type-2 receptor (V2R) is ectopically expressed and plays a pathogenic role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumor cells. Here we examined how V2R signaling within human ccRCC tumor cells (Caki1 cells) stimulates stromal cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). We found that cell culture conditioned media from Caki1 cells increased activation, migration, and proliferation of fibroblasts in vitro, which was inhibited by V2R gene silencing in Caki1 cells. Analysis of the conditioned media and mRNA of the V2R gene silenced and control Caki1 cells showed that V2R regulates the production of CAF-activating factors. Some of these factors were also found to be regulated by YAP in these Caki1 cells. YAP expression colocalized and correlated with V2R expression in ccRCC tumor tissue. V2R gene silencing or V2R antagonist significantly reduced YAP in Caki1 cells. Moreover, the V2R antagonist reduced YAP expression and myofibroblasts in mouse xenograft tumors. These results suggest that V2R plays an important role in secreting pro-fibrotic factors that stimulate fibroblast activation by a YAP-dependent mechanism in ccRCC tumors. Our results demonstrate a novel role for the V2R-YAP axis in the regulation of myofibroblasts in ccRCC and a potential therapeutic target.
