Abstrakt: Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common pediatric kidney cancer treated with standard chemotherapy. However, less-differentiated blastemal type of WT often relapses. To model the high-risk WT for therapeutic intervention, we introduce pluripotency factors into WiT49, a mixed-type WT cell line, to generate partially reprogrammed cells, namely WiT49-PRCs. When implanted into the kidney capsule in mice, WiT49-PRCs form kidney tumors and develop both liver and lung metastases, whereas WiT49 tumors do not metastasize. Histological characterization and gene expression signatures demonstrate that WiT49-PRCs recapitulate blastemal-predominant WTs. Moreover, drug screening in isogeneic WiT49 and WiT49-PRCs leads to the identification of epithelial- or blastemal-predominant WT-sensitive drugs, whose selectivity is validated in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (e.g., panobinostat and romidepsin) are found universally effective across different WT and more potent than doxorubicin in PDXs. Taken together, WiT49-PRCs serve as a blastemal-predominant WT model for therapeutic intervention to treat patients with high-risk WT.
