Epigenetic reprogramming in hepatic carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: Genomic sequencing of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) uncovers a paucity of actionable mutations, underscoring the necessity to exploit epigenetic vulnerabilities for therapeutics. In HCC, EZH2-mediated H3K27me3 represents a major oncogenic chromatin modification, but how it modulates the therapeutic vulnerability of signaling pathways remains unknown. Here, we identified that EZH2 maintains H3K27 methylome through epigenetic silencing of specific gene sets. ChIP-seq revealed enrichment of EZH2/H3K27me3 at silenced loci in HBx-transgenic (TG) mouse-derived HCCs, including tumor suppressors whose down-regulation significantly correlated with EZH2 overexpression and poor survival of HCC patients. Defining the aberrant chromatin landscape of HCC sheds light into the mechanistic basis of effective EZH2-targeted inhibition.

Chip-chip from HepG2 cells with EZH2, SUZ12 and H3K27me3

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins including EZH2, SUZ12 and so on, which specifically catalyze trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), and methylated H3K27 can be recognized by other specific binding proteins to compress chromatin structure, leading to the transcriptional repression of the target genes. To completely understand the epigenetic profile and molecular network of PcG in HCC, we performed ChIP-on-chip screens with EZH2, SUZ12 and H3K27me3 antibodies in HepG2 cells. Comparison of ChIP-on-chip results from EZH2, SUZ12 and H3K27me3.

DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis of normal and HBx transgenic mouse liver

Project description:A genome-wide integrated methylome and transcriptome analysis of the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma development that induced by HBx. The HBV x (HBx) protein, which plays a critical role in the development of HCC, was shown to interact with several epigenetic factors, such as DNMT3A and HDAC1. Most HBx transgenic (TG) mice spontaneously develop HCC at about 1 year of age, providing genetic validation of the oncogenic potential of HBx even in the absence of viral integration and chronic inflammation. Therefore, it would be intriguing to study the regulatory role of HBx in the epigenome and its impact on HCC development. We performed a genome-wide analysis to examine the differences in DNA methylation patterns and RNA transcriptions between cancer and normal liver cells.

Hepatitis B virus X protein contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma via upregulation of KIAA1429 methyltransferase and mRNA m6A hypermethylation of HSPG2/Perlecan [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains to be the most common risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). While work has primarily focussed on understanding the direct and indirect mechanisms of Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) mediated hepatocarcinogenesis, from genetic and epigenetic perspectives, its influence on RNA modification mediated onset of liver malignancies is less well understood. This study explored the role of HBV-encoded HBx in altering the m6A methylome profile and its implications on the pathogenesis of HCC. We established HBx expressing stable HCC cell lines, Huh7-HBx and HepG2-HBx, and explored the transcriptomic and epitranscriptomic profiles by RNA-seq and MeRIP-seq, respectively. Preliminary results suggest that HBx promotes liver cell proliferation, migration, survival and overall m6A methylation in HCC cells and is involved in modulating the extracellular matrix. We show that HBx mediates liver cell transformation by upregulating KIAA1429 methyltransferase. HBx also drives the expression and hypermethylation of the extracellular matrix protein HSPG2/Perlecan and promotes tumourigenesis. Our findings indicate a potential interaction between KIAA1429 and HSPG2, thus could be novel targets in combating HBx-driven HCC and warrants further investigation.

Wild-type versus HBx-transfected mive

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been clearly recognized as an etiological factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV encodes the potentially oncogenic HBx protein. We aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of HCC caused by HBx and to discover the biomarker related to HCC by HBx. Three experimental groups, 3, 9 and 13 month aged HBx Tg mice and age matched normal wild type B6 mouse which have same background of HBx Tg mice were used to find differentially expressed genes during HCC. Keywords: Genetic modification 3-month-old, 9-month-old, 13-month-old wild type B6 mice vs 3-month-old, 9-month-old, 13-month-old HBx transfected mice; Biological replicates at each timepoint; 9 controls vs 9 HBx-mice
