ABSTRACT
This study aimed to reveal the prognostic role of the Hippo pathway in different histopathological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The TCGA-KIRC (n = 537), TCGA-KIRP (n = 291) and TCGA-KICH (n = 113), which contain data about clear cell (ccRCC), papillary (pRCC) and chromophobe RCC (chRCC), respectively, were investigated. Gene Set Variation Analysis was used to compare the activity of many pathways within a single sample. Oncogenic pathway-related expression differed between cases of ccRCC involving low and high Hippo pathway activity. There were two subsets of ccRCC, in which the cancer exhibited lower and higher Hippo signalling activity, respectively, compared with normal tissue. In the ccRCC cohort, lower Hippo pathway activity was associated with a higher clinical stage (p < 0.001). The Hippo pathway (HR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.17-0.50, p < 0.001), apoptosis (HR = 6.02; 95% CI = 1.47-24.61; p = 0.013) and the p53 pathway (HR = 0.09; 95% CI = 0.02-0.36; p < 0.001) were identified as independent prognostic factors for ccRCC. The 5-year overall survival of the ccRCC patients with low and high Hippo pathway activity were 51.9% (95% CI = 45.0-59.9) and 73.6% (95% CI = 67.8-79.9), respectively. In conclusion, the Hippo pathway plays an important role in the progression of ccRCC. Low Hippo pathway activity is associated with poor outcomes in ccRCC, indicating the tumour suppressor function of this pathway.
