Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Treatment of HCC remains abysmal; discovery of novel pathways implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis is needed for more effective therapeutics. SALL4 is a stem cell factor essential for the maintenance of embryonic stem cell self-renewal properties and expressed in fetal liver, but silenced in normal adult liver. We observed that expression of SALL4 in murine liver in a transgenic model led to development of HCC. In humans, SALL4 is re-expressed as an oncofetal protein in a subgroup of HCC patients with unfavorable prognoses. Loss-of-function studies demonstrated that SALL4 is essential for human HCC cell survival and tumorigenicity. We demonstrated that a peptide can block the oncogenic function of SALL4 in HCC by modulating the PTEN/AKT pathway. Our findings reveal a novel role of SALL4 in HCC with important implications for understanding disease mechanisms and development of innovative therapeutics. Cultured cells from HCC cell line SNU-398 with scrambled or SALL4 shRNA knockdown were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Various liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, a condition characterized by abnormal levels of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we subjected the human liver mitochondrial proteome to an extensive quantitative proteomic profiling analysis and molecular characterization to identify potential signatures indicative of cancer cell growth and progression. A sequential proteomic analysis identified 2452 mitochondrial proteins, of which 1464 and 2010 were classified as normal and HCC mitochondrial proteins, respectively, with 1022 overlaps. Further metabolic mapping of the HCC mitochondrial proteins narrowed our biological characterization to four proteins, namely ALDH4A1, LRPPRC, ATP5C1 and ALDH6A1. The latter protein, a mitochondrial methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH6A1), was most strongly suppressed in HCC tumor regions (~10-fold decrease) and was predicted to present in plasma. Accordingly, we selected ALDH6A1 for a functional analysis. Interestingly, much lower NO levels were detected in both HCC tumor regions and an ALDH6A1-overexpression (O/E) cell line than in control (Hep3B) cells and could be restored by treatment with S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine. In contrast, ALDH6A1-O/E cells exhibited an approximately 50% increase in ROS levels and decreased lactate levels relative to control cells. Propidium iodine staining suggested that the abnormal decrease in NO and increase in ROS could be caused by depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ). We propose that an attenuated ALDH6A1 level may subsequently promote uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation, act as a signature for assessing HCC progression and treatment responses.

Project description:Previously, we have found a specific subtype of HCCs named solitary large hepatocellular carcinoma (SLHCC), which was >5 cm in diameter, had just single lesion, and always grew expansively within an intact capsule or pseudocapsule. Accordingly, we classified HCCs into 3 different subtypes: SLHCC, nodular HCC (NHCC, node number ≥ 2) and small HCC (SHCC, solitary nodular, diameter ≤ 5 cm). Further study confirmed that SLHCC had unique clinical and pathological characteristics, and its metastatic potential was comparable with SHCC, but significantly lower than NHCC. After hepatic resection, SLHCC exhibited a similar long-term overall and disease-free survival with SHCC, but much better than NHCC. To gain a better understanding of the molecular biologic characteristics of SLHCC, we performed miRNAs array analysis in there three subtypes of HCC.

Project description:Vascular invasion is considered as the critical risk factors for tumor recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying macrovascular invasion (MaVI) and metastasis in HCC, we performed an iTRAQ based proteomic study to identify notably dysregulated proteins in 53 HCC patients with differential vascular invasion. In patients with MaVI, 47 proteins were significantly down-regulated in HCC tumor tissue. More importantly, 30 of them were not changed in HCC without MaVI. Gene ontology analysis of these 47 proteins shows the top 3 enriched pathways are urea cycle, gluconeogenesis and arginine biosynthetic process. We validated 9 remarkably dysregulated candidates in HCC patients with MaVI by Western blot, including 8 down-regulated proteins (CPS1, ASS1, ASL, ARG1, BHMT, DMGDH, Annexin A6 and CES1) and 1 up-regulated protein (CKAP4). Furthermore, dysregulation of CPS1, ASL and ARG1, key enzymes involved in urea cycle, together with Annexin A6 and CES1, major proteins in regulating cholesterol homeostasis and fatty acid ester metabolism were verified using immunohistochemical staining. The significant down-regulation of urea cycle generates clinically relevant proteomic signature in HCC patients with macrovascular invasion, which may provide possible insights into the molecular mechanisms of metastasis and new therapeutic targets of HCC.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex and heterogeneous tumor due to activation of multiple cellular pathways and molecular alterations. Herein, we report the first molecular classification of 89 HCC based on the expression of 358 microRNAs and integrative genomic analysis. Three main subclasses of HCC were identified : two of them were associated with beta-catenin mutations or aggressive phenotype. A subset of the subclass of aggressive tumors (8/89, 9%) showed overexpression of a cluster of microRNAs located on chr19q13.41 (C19MC locus. We showed that miR 517a, representing C19MC, promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and induced the development of aggressive tumors in vivo suggesting its role as a novel oncogenic driver in HCC. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Refer to individual Series

Project description:Hepatectomy generally offers the best chance of long-term survival for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Many studies have shown that hepatectomy accelerates tumor metastasis, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, palliative hepatectomy was performed in an orthotopic nude mice model of HCC (MHCC97H) with high metastatic potential. Using Human Tumor Metastasis Microarray, we screened the metastasis-related genes in tumor tissues following palliative resection, and found that Metastasis suppressor 1 (MTSS1) located in the central position of gene function net of residual HCC; MTSS1 was up-regulated in residual tumor after palliative resection. Further studies found that MTSS1 enhanced the metastasis of residual HCC. In hepatitis B-related HCC patients undergone palliative hepatectomy, those with higher MTSS1 mRNA expression accompanied by the activation of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) in residual HCC, had earlier residual HCC detection after hepatectomy and poorer survival when compared to those with lower MTSS1 level. In different cell lines, the levels of MTSS1 mRNA increased in parallel with metastatic potential. MTSS1 down regulation via siRNA decreased MMP2 activity, reduced invasive potentials of HCC by 28.9% in vitro, and averted the deteriorated lung metastatic extent in vivo. In conclusion, the poor prognosis of hepatitis B-related HCC patients following palliative hepatectomy associates with elevated MTSS1 mRNA expression; therefore, MTSS1 may provide a new research field for HCC diagnosis and treatment. Eighteen nude mice bearing HCC xenografts were randomized into three groups 14 days after orthotopic implantation: palliative resection group (mice received partial HCC resection with preservation of 2 mm tumor pedicles), sham operation group (mice only undergone an exposure of liver but without resection), and blank control group (mice without further surgical intervention). All mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation 14 days following palliative resection based on pre-experimental results. The first time surgically removed HCC tissues were named tumor tissues T1; the second time surgically removed HCC tissues from sham operation group were named tumor tissues T2; Tissues from blank control group were named tumor tissues T3; Tissues from palliative resection group were named tumor tissues T4 that was residual HCC. Randomly selected 5 tumor specimens from each group were used for the screen of genes related to metastasis by microarray techniques.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and background liver has been studied extensively; however, the relationship between the gene expression profiles of different lesions has not been assessed. We examined the expression profiles of 34 HCC specimens (17 hepatitis B virus [HBV]-related and 17 hepatitis C virus [HCV]-related) and 71 non-tumor liver specimens (36 chronic hepatitis B [CH-B] and 35 chronic hepatitis C [CH-C]) using an in-house cDNA microarray consisting of liver-predominant genes. Graphical Gaussian modeling (GGM) was applied to elucidate the interactions of gene clusters among the HCC and non-tumor lesions. Gene expression profiling of HCC and non-tumor lesions revealed the predisposing changes of gene expression in HCC. This approach has potential for the early diagnosis and possible prevention of HCC.

Project description:Current selection criteria for liver transplant in patients with HCC (the Milan criteria) do not incorporate biologic metrics. MiRNA expression profiles correlate with HCC recurrence after transplant and can add significant value to the Milan criteria. MiRNA expression profiles were studied in HCC specimens from patients undergoing liver transplant and correlated with their tumor recurrence status and Milan criteria status.
