Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is globally the most prevalent renal cancer. The cells of origin in ccRCC have been identified as proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC); however, the transcriptomic pathways resulting in the transition from normal to malignant PTEC state have remained unclear. Immunotherapy targeting checkpoints have revolutionized the management of ccRCC, but a sustained clinical response is achieved in only a minority of ccRCC patients. This indicates that our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the malignant transition and resistance to immune checkpoint therapy in ccRCC is unclear. This review examines recent single-cell transcriptomics studies of ccRCC to clarify the transition of PTEC in ccRCC development, and the immune cell types, states, and interactions that may limit the response to targeted immune therapy, and finally suggests stromal cells as key drivers in recurrent and locally invasive ccRCC. These and future single-cell transcriptomics studies will continue to clarify the cellular milieu in the ccRCC microenvironment, thus defining actional clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic characteristics of ccRCC.
