In situ metabolomics expands the spectrum of renal tumours positive on 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography examination.
Eu. Urol. Open Sci. 22, 88-96 (2020)
Background: Definite noninvasive characterisation of renal tumours positive on 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) examination including renal oncocytomas (ROs), hybrid oncocytic chromophobe tumours (HOCTs), and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is currently not feasible. Objective: To investigate whether combined 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT and in situ metabolomic profiling can accurately characterise renal tumours exhibiting 99mTc-sestamibi uptake. Design, setting, and participants: A tissue microarray analysis of 33 tumour samples from 28 patients was used to investigate whether their in situ metabolomic status correlates with their features on 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT examination. In order to validate emerging data, an independent cohort comprising 117 tumours was subjected to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: MALDI MSI data analysis and image generation were facilitated by FlexImaging v. 4.2, while k-means analysis by SCiLS Lab software followed by R-package CARRoT analysis was used for assessing the highest predictive power in the differential of RO versus chRCC. Heatmap-based clustering, sparse partial least-squares discriminant analysis, and volcano plots were created with MetaboAnalyst 3.0. Results and limitations: We identified a discriminatory metabolomic signature for 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT–positive Birt-Hogg-Dubè–associated HOCTs versus other renal oncocytic tumours. Metabolomic differences were also evident between 99mTc-sestamibi–positive and 99mTc-sestamibi–negative chRCCs, prompting additional expert review; two of three 99mTc-sestamibi–positive chRCCs were reclassified as low-grade oncocytic tumours (LOTs). Differences were identified between distal-derived tumours from those of proximal tubule origin, including differences between ROs and chRCCs. Conclusions: The current study expands the spectrum of 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT–positive renal tumours, encompassing ROs, HOCTs, LOTs, and chRCCs, and supports the feasibility of in situ metabolomic profiling in the diagnostics and classification of renal tumours. Patient summary: For preoperative evaluation of solid renal tumours, 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) is a novel examination method. To increase diagnostic accuracy, we propose that 99mTc-sestamibi–positive renal tumours should be biopsied and followed by a combined histometabolomic analysis.
