Genomic profiling reveals unique molecular alterations in hepatoblastomas and adjacent hepatocellular carcinomas in B3C3F1 mice

ABSTRACT: The cell of origin of hepatoblastoma in humans and mice (HB) is unknown; it has been hypothesized to be a transformed hepatocyte, an oval cell, or a multipotent hepatic progenitor cell. In mice, the current dogma is that HBs arise within hepatocellular neoplasms as a result of further transformation from a neoplastic hepatocyte. However, there is little evidence in the literature to support a direct relationship between these two cell types. Furthermore, due to differences in etiology and development of hepatoblastoma between mice and humans, many have questioned the relevance of these tumors in hazard identification and risk assessment. In order to better understand the relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma, as well as better determine the molecular similarities between mouse and human hepatoblastoma, global gene expression analysis and targeted Hras and Ctnnb1 mutation analysis were performed using concurrent hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and associated normal adjacent liver (in the context of vehicle control liver) samples from a recent National Toxicology Program chronic bioassay. The data from this study provides a better understanding of the origins of hepatoblastoma in the B6C3F1 mice and the relevance of mouse hepatoblastoma to humans when considering chemical exposures of potential human cancer risk. Compare mouse hepatoblastoma versus adjacent hepatocellular carcinomas versus adjacent non-tumor liver and vehicle control normal liver, 6 replicates each group.

The cell of origin of hepatoblastoma (HB) in humans and mice is unknown; it is hypothesized to be a transformed hepatocyte, oval cell, or hepatic progenitor cell. In mice, current dogma is that HBs arise from preexisting hepatocellular neoplasms as a result of further neoplastic transformation. However, there is little evidence supporting this direct relationship.

Project description:Chromosomal DNA copy number alterations are a hallmark of human malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, which oncogenes or tumor suppressors located on regions with DNA copy number aberration may contribute to HCC initiation and progression still remain obscure. Here we performed a genome-wide DNA copy number analysis on human HCC samples to identify novel potential oncogenes or tumor suppressors with DNA copy number aberrations. Genome-wide DNA copy numbers analysis was performed with single nucleotide polymorphism micoarray. RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining were employed to evaluate the NOXIN expression in HCC samples. Colony formation, cell cycle analysis and tumor xenograft assays were performed to assess the role of NOXIN in HCC cells. Reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation experiments were used to detect the interaction between NOXIN and DNA polymerase a primase. Genome-wide DNA copy number analysis on 43 paired HCC samples indentified the smallest DNA amplification region containing NOXIN, along with the elevated transcript. NOXIN overexpression was significantly associated with HCC tumor stage. Enforced NOXIN promoted cellular proliferation, colony formation, cell migration and in vivo tumorigenicity, whereas RNA interference against NOXIN can attenuate these effects. Interestingly, NOXIN overexpression can accelerate the G1-S transition of cell cycle progression through enhancing DNA synthesis in HCC cells, as indicated by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Furthermore, NOXIN can interact with DNA polymerase a, implying that NOXIN may promote de novo DNA synthesis via affiliating formation of DNA polymerase-primase complex. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent liver tissue samples. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays was performed for 43 hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples, which their adjacent liver tissues were used as references for copy number inference.
