There have been few studies regarding the etiology of renal cell carcinoma. To examine the possible involvement of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in this disease, 9 renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 2 nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor) and 2 RCC cell lines were subjected to mRNA in situ hybridization and indirect immunofluorescence staining. Messenger RNA in situ hybridization using BamHIW, EBNA LP, EBNA 2 and EBER1 probes of EBV revealed signals in all the examined samples, although some samples showed weak signals using the EBNA LP probe. Indirect immunofluorescence staining using anti-EBNA LP, anti-EBNA2, anti-LMP1 and anti-BZLF1 antibodies showed definitive fluorescence. PCR also revealed EBV DNA in all 8 RCC specimens including 7 cases other than hybridization and fluorescence. EBV infected all the RCC and nephroblastoma irrespective of the histological or clinical stage. On the other hand, EBV expression was stronger in papillary and clear cell-type RCC than chromophobe cell-type, as well as being stronger in the higher grades of RCC. These results suggest that the expression of EBV may be involved in the pathogenesis of RCC and nephroblastoma.
