VHL inactivation is associated with the development of ccRCC, and VHL regulates SCD5 and fatty acid metabolism. SCD5 expression is regulated by VHL and HIF, and loss of SCD5 promotes cell proliferation and metabolic shift towards ceramide production.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common histological subtype of renal cancer, and inactivation of the VHL tumor suppressor gene is found in almost all cases of hereditary and sporadic ccRCCs. CcRCC is associated with the reprogramming of fatty acid metabolism, and stearoyl-CoA desaturases (SCDs) are the main enzymes controlling fatty acid composition in cells. In this study, we report that mRNA and protein expression of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase SCD5 is downregulated in VHL-deficient cell lines. Similarly, in C. elegans vhl-1 mutants, FAT-7/SCD5 activity is repressed, supporting an evolutionary conservation. SCD5 regulation by VHL depends on HIF, and loss of SCD5 promotes cell proliferation and a metabolic shift towards ceramide production. In summary, we identify a novel regulatory function of VHL in relation to SCD5 and fatty acid metabolism, and propose a new mechanism of how loss of VHL may contribute to ccRCC tumor formation and progression.
