Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in metastatic foci of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. We identified metastasis-related miRNAs in recurrent cases after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods: We performed a comprehensive analysis of primary HCC (T), noncancerous liver (N), and resected recurrent (metastatic) HCC (M) using microarray analyses to identify metastasis-related miRNAs in in three patients with post-transplant recurrence. The RNA samples from three cases that underwent resection of recurrences after LDLT were made available for miRNA microarray analysis. The three cases included a 57-year-old man (case 1) with peritoneal recurrence and infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV), and a 48-year-old woman (case 2) and a 51-year-old man (case 3) with lung recurrences and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Microarray analysis was performed for each RNA sample from the (T), (N) in the explanted liver, and (M). A sample containing equal amounts of RNAs from histologically normal livers of three living donors (NL: normal liver) was analyzed as a control. The RNA samples from three cases that underwent resection of recurrences after living donor liver transplantation were made available for microRNA microarray analysis. Microarray analysis was performed for each RNA sample from the primary HCC (T), noncancerous liver (N) in the explanted liver, and resected recurrent metastatic HCC (M).

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant in the circulation and play a central role in diverse biological processes; they may be useful for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We conducted a two-phase, case-control study (20 pairs for the discovery set and 49 pairs for the validation set) to test the hypothesis that genome-wide dysregulation of circulating miRNAs differentiate HCC cases from controls. Taqman low density arrays were used to examine genome-wide miRNA expression for the discovery set, and quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate candidate miRNAs for both discovery and validation sets. Sixty-six miRNAs were found to be significantly over-expressed in plasma of HCC cases compared to controls after adjusting for false discovery rate (p<0.05). A volcano plot indicated that 7 miRNAs had greater than 2-fold case-control differences with p<0.01. Four significant miRNAs (miR-150, miR-30c, miR-483-5p and miR-520b) detectable in all samples with varied expression levels were further validated in a validation set. MiR-483-5p was statistically significantly over-expressed in HCC cases compared with controls (3.20 vs. 0.82, p<0.0001). HCC risk factors and clinic-pathological characteristics did not influence miR-483-5p expression. The combination of plasma miR-483-5p level and HCV status can significantly differentiate HCC cases from controls with an AUC of 0.908 (p<0.0001). The sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 75.5% and 89.8%. These preliminary results suggest the importance of dysregulated circulating miR-483-5p as a potential HCC biomarker. Confirmation of aberrant expression of miR-483-5p in a large prospective HCC study will provide support for its application to HCC detection. A hospital-based HCC case-control study including 20 HCC patients and 20 controls is conducted in Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), which is approved by the Institutional Review Board. Cases were newly diagnosed HCC patients who were treated in the Hepatobiliary Oncology Clinics, CUMC, and examined pathologically. Controls were recruited from volunteers through the Research Recruitment and Minority Outreach (RRMO) core of Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC). Flyers were placed at strategic locations around CUMC where hospital visitors and employees frequent or were handed out at inreach events at the hospital or at outreach events in the community. Interested participants were directed to contact the trained recruitment staff from the RRMO and given further information about participation. Interested participants were excluded from the control group if diagnosed for any kind of cancer or liver disease. Eligible controls were asked to fill out the same demographic and epidemiological questionnaire as HCC cases. In the current study, controls were matched with HCC cases on age (M-BM-15 yrs), gender (male/female) and ethnicities (Caucasian/Hispanic/African-American/Asian).

Project description:Purpose: Chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection leads to liver fibrosis which is a major risk factor in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and an independent risk factor of recurrence after HCC tumor resection. HBV genome can be inserted into human genome, and chronic inflammation may trigger somatic mutations. Several studies characterized HBV integration sites in HCC patients with regard to frequently occurring hotspots. However, how HBV integration and other genomic changes contribute to the risk of tumor recurrence with regard to different degree of liver fibrosis is not clearly understood. In this study, we aim to find potential molecular mechanisms underlying tumor recurrence of HBV-associated HCC (HBV-HCC) with different degree of liver fibrosis. Methods: We performed RNA sequencing of 21 pairs of tumor and non-neoplastic liver tissues of HBV-HCC patients and performed comprehensive genomic analysis of our RNAseq data and public available sequencing data related to HBV-HCC. We developed a robust pipeline for sensitively identifying HBV integration sites based on sequencing data. Simulations with sequencing data showed that our method outperformed existing methods. We also compared SNPs of each sample with SNPs in cancer census database and inferred patient’s pathogenic SNP loads in tumor and non-neoplastic liver tissues. Conclusions: The HBV-integration and pathogenic SNP load patterns for HCC recurrence risk vary depending on liver fibrosis stage, suggesting potentially different tumorigenesis mechanisms for low and high liver fibrosis patients.

Project description:Background & Aims: The CCNE1 locus, which encodes cyclin E1, is amplified in many types of cancer cells and is activated in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from patients infected with hepatitis B virus or adeno-associated virus type 2, due to integration of the virus nearby. We investigated cell cycle and oncogenic effects of cyclin E1 overexpression in tissues of mice. Methods: We generated mice with doxycycline-inducible expression of Ccne1 (Ccne1T mice) and activated overexpression of cyclin E1 from age 3 weeks onwards. At 14 months of age, livers were collected from mice that overexpress cyclin E1 and non-transgenic mice (controls) and analyzed for tumor burden and by histology. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and hepatocytes from Ccne1T and control mice were analyzed to determine the extent to which cyclin E1 overexpression perturbs S-phase entry, DNA replication, and numbers and structures of chromosomes. Tissues from 4-month-old Ccne1T and control mice (at that age were free of tumors) were analyzed for chromosome alterations, to investigate the mechanisms by which cyclin E1 predisposes hepatocytes to transformation. Results: Ccne1T mice developed more hepatocellular adenomas and HCCs than control mice. Tumors developed only in livers of Ccne1T mice, despite high levels of cyclin E1 in other tissues. Ccne1T MEFs had defects that promoted chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy, including incomplete replication of DNA, centrosome amplification, and formation of non-perpendicular mitotic spindles. Whereas Ccne1T mice accumulated near-diploid aneuploid cells in multiple tissues and organs, polyploidization was observed only in hepatocytes, with losses and gains of whole chromosomes, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. Conclusions: Livers, but not other tissues of mice with inducible overexpression of cyclin E1, develop tumors. More hepatocytes from the cyclin E-overexpressing mice were polyploid than from control mice, and had losses or gains of whole chromosomes, DNA damage, and oxidative stress – all of these have been observed in human HCC cells. The increased risk of HCC in patients with hepatitis B virus or adeno-associated virus type 2 infection might involve activation of cyclin E1 and its effects on chromosomes and genomes of liver cells.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main subtypes of primary liver cancer, which accounts for 75-85% of all cases [1]. Despite increasing availability of treatments for liver cancer, HCC clinical trials are not promising since most HCC patients are in an advanced stage of HCC at the time of diagnosis. Additionally, highly metastatic and recurrent phenotype aggravate poor prognosis of liver cancer [2]. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore the underlying molecular mechanism in HCC progression.

Project description:Background: Several studies have investigated the association of miRNAs with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but the data are not univocal. Methods: We performed a microarray study of miRNAs in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated HCC and other liver diseases and healthy conditions. Results and Conclusions: The simultaneous comparison of different liver diseases and normal livers allowed the identification of 18 miRNAs exclusively expressed in HCV-associated HCC, with sensitivity and specificity values of diagnostic-grade. A total number of 76 liver specimens obtained from 43 patients were analyzed: 26 liver specimens obtained from 10 patients with HCV-associated HCC, including 9 specimens from the tumor area (HCC) and 17 specimens from the surrounding non-tumorous tissue affected by cirrhosis (HCC-CIR); 18 specimens from 10 patients with HCV-associated cirrhosis without HCC (CIR); 13 specimens from 4 patients with HBV-associated acute liver failure (ALF); 12 specimens from 12 liver donors (LD); and 7 from normal liver of 7 subjects who underwent hepatic resection for liver angioma (NL).
