CD70 is upregulated in several malignancies, where it induces cytotoxic effects on B and T lymphocytes leading to immune escape. Novel therapeutic agents targeting CD70 have entered clinical trials. We characterized expression of CD70 protein in RCC specimens of various histologic subtypes and assessed their prognostic value and association with clinical/pathological variables. We employed tissue microarrays containing 330 cases using a novel fluorescent immunohistochemistry-based method of Automated Quantitative Analysis (AQUA) of in situ protein expression. The mean expression of CD70 was almost twice as high in tumors relative to normal tissue (p<0.0001). When broken into subsets, CD70 was higher in sarcomatoid and clear cell tumors (p<0.0001), and variably elevated in oncocytomas and some papillary tumors. No association was found between CD70 expression and stage or grade. High CD70 expression was associated with decreased survival on univariate analysis in the clear cell subset of RCC, however, it did not retain significance on multi-variable analysis. Given the elevated expression of CD70 in clear cell, sarcomatoid, and some papillary tumors, our findings suggest that CD70 might be a good drug target in RCC. Additional studies are warranted to assess the association between expression of CD70 and response to therapy with CD70 targeting drugs in RCC.
