Excited to finally share our latest study on #TranslocationRCC #PEComas @NatureComms!
We generated the first ever, murine transgenic kidney tumor models of SFPQ-TFE3 - the most common MiT/TFE gene fusion implicated in both, tRCC and PEComas (Perivascular Epitheloid neoplasms). le for this fusion in regulating #mTORC1-driven lineage plasticity, with transcriptional downregulation of critical nephric lineage transcription factors like PAX8, that perfectly recapitulate human renal PEComas.
Additionally, we nominate the lysosomal V-ATPase complex as a central regulator of mTORC1 activity in tRCC, and a target-rich environment for therapeutic intervention in this deadly disease.
Grateful to all the co-authors, collaborators, reviewers, editors and funding sources who made this study possible! @adriannaamendes @LotanLab @eddieimada @MasayaBaba2 @terry_watnickmd @WMarstonLinehan @PeterArgani @yasserged @rmelias2 @nirmishsingla @allaf_mo @Joeyswings @KidneyCancer @kidneycan @CDMRP
