Among kidney cancers, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has the highest incidence rate in adults. The survival rate of patients diagnosed as having metastatic ccRCC drastically declines even with intensive treatment. We examined the efficacy of simvastatin, a lipid-lowering drug with reduced mevalonate synthesis, in ccRCC treatment. Simvastatin was found to reduce cell viability and increase autophagy induction and apoptosis. In addition, it reduced cell metastasis and lipid accumulation, the target proteins of which can be reversed through mevalonate supplementation. Moreover, simvastatin suppressed cholesterol synthesis and protein prenylation that is essential for RhoA activation. Simvastatin might also reduce cancer metastasis by suppressing the RhoA pathway. A gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the human ccRCC GSE53757 data set revealed that the RhoA and lipogenesis pathways are activated. In simvastatin-treated ccRCC cells, although RhoA was upregulated, it was mainly restrained in the cytosolic fraction and concomitantly reduced Rho-associated protein kinase activity. RhoA upregulation might be a negative feedback effect owing to the loss of RhoA activity caused by simvastatin, which can be restored by mevalonate. RhoA inactivation by simvastatin was correlated with decreased cell metastasis in the transwell assay, which was mimicked in dominantly negative RhoA-overexpressing cells. Thus, owing to the increased RhoA activation and cell metastasis in the human ccRCC dataset analysis, simvastatin-mediated Rho inactivation might serve as a therapeutic target for ccRCC patients. Altogether, simvastatin suppressed the cell viability and metastasis of ccRCC cells; thus, it is a potentially effective ccRCC adjunct therapy after clinical validation for ccRCC treatment.
