Project description:To investigate the effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus 0030 (LR) on nucleus accumbens gene expression in a mouse model of established diet-induced obesity, we treated high-fat diet fed male mice with 1x10^8 CFU LR using daily peroral gavage. Vehicle (here: PBS)-treated mice fed with a low-fat diet or high-fat diet served as controls. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of those three groups (LFD vehicle, HFD vehicle, HFD LR).

Project description:We conducted global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling of vehicle- and everolimus-treated tumors from 17 mice that were allografted with spontaneously developed mammary tumors from Brca1co/coMMTV-Cre mice using LC-MS/MS. The Proteome Discoverer analysis identified 9,625 proteins having two unique sibling peptides and more and 35,142 phosphopeptides with a peptide- and protein-level FDR of 1% using SEQUEST-HT algorithm. We defined everolimus-sensitive and resistant tumors based on proteome and phosphoproteome data, and identified protein and phosphopeptide signatures defining each cluster. Pathway enrichment analysis of these signatures further revealed that leukotriene-neutrophil activation pathways were upregulated in everolimus-resistant tumors.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly deadly malignancy, accounting for approximately 800,000 deaths worldwide every year. Mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene is a common genetic change in HCC, present in 30% of cases. p53R175H (corresponding to p53R172H in mice) is a hotspot for mutation that demonstrates "prometastatic" gain-of-function in other cancer models. Since the frequency of p53 mutation increases with tumor grade in HCC, we hypothesized that p53R172H is a gain-of-function mutation in HCC that contributes to a decrease in tumor-free survival and an increase in metastasis. In an HCC mouse model, we found that p53R172H/flox mice do not have decreased survival, increased tumor incidence, or increased metastasis, relative to p53flox/flox littermates. Analysis of cell lines derived from both genotypes indicated that there are no differences in anchorage-independent growth and cell migration. However, shRNA-mediated knockdown of mutant p53 in p53R172H-expressing HCC cell lines resulted in decreased cell migration and anchorage-independent growth. Thus, although p53 mutant-expressing cells and tumors do not have enhanced properties relative to their p53 null counterparts, p53R172H-expressing HCC cells depend on this mutant for their transformation. p53 mutants have been previously shown to bind and inhibit the p53 family proteins p63 and p73. Interestingly, we find that the levels of p63 and p73 target genes are similar in p53 mutant and p53 null HCC cells. These data suggest that pathways regulated by these p53 family members are similarly impacted by p53R172H in mutant expressing cells, and by alternate mechanisms in p53 null cells, resulting in equivalent phenotypes. Consistent with this, we find that p53 null HCC cell lines display lower levels of the TA isoforms of p63 and p73 and higher levels of ΔNp63. Taken together these data point to the importance of p63 and p73 in constraining HCC progression.

Project description:Background & aimsTristetraprolin (TTP) is a key post-transcriptional regulator of inflammatory and oncogenic transcripts. Accordingly, TTP was reported to act as a tumor suppressor in specific cancers. Herein, we investigated how TTP contributes to the development of liver inflammation and fibrosis, which are key drivers of hepatocarcinogenesis, as well as to the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsTTP expression was investigated in mouse/human models of hepatic metabolic diseases and cancer. The role of TTP in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and HCC development was further examined through in vivo/vitro approaches using liver-specific TTP knockout mice and a panel of hepatic cancer cells.ResultsOur data demonstrate that TTP loss in vivo strongly restrains development of hepatic steatosis and inflammation/fibrosis in mice fed a methionine/choline-deficient diet, as well as HCC development induced by the carcinogen diethylnitrosamine. In contrast, low TTP expression fostered migration and invasion capacities of in vitro transformed hepatic cancer cells likely by unleashing expression of key oncogenes previously associated with these cancerous features. Consistent with these data, TTP was significantly down-regulated in high-grade human HCC, a feature further correlating with poor clinical prognosis. Finally, we uncover hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha and early growth response 1, two key transcription factors lost with hepatocyte dedifferentiation, as key regulators of TTP expression.ConclusionsAlthough TTP importantly contributes to hepatic inflammation and cancer initiation, its loss with hepatocyte dedifferentiation fosters cancer cells migration and invasion. Loss of TTP may represent a clinically relevant biomarker of high-grade HCC associated with poor prognosis.

Project description:UnlabelledHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has high mortality and no adequate treatment. Endocannabinoids interact with hepatic cannabinoid 1 receptors (CB1Rs) to promote hepatocyte proliferation in liver regeneration by inducing cell cycle proteins involved in mitotic progression, including Forkhead Box M1. Because this protein is highly expressed in HCC and contributes to its genesis and progression, we analyzed the involvement of the endocannabinoid/CB1R system in murine and human HCC. Postnatal diethylnitrosamine treatment induced HCC within 8 months in wild-type mice but fewer and smaller tumors in CB1R(-/-) mice or in wild-type mice treated with the peripheral CB1R antagonist JD5037, as monitored in vivo by serial magnetic resonance imaging. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis revealed CB1R-dependent, tumor-induced up-regulation of the hepatic expression of CB1R, its endogenous ligand anandamide, and a number of tumor-promoting genes, including the GRB2 interactome as well as Forkhead Box M1 and its downstream target, the tryptophan-catalyzing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. Increased indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity and consequent induction of immunosuppressive T-regulatory cells in tumor tissue promote immune tolerance.ConclusionThe endocannabinoid/CB1R system is up-regulated in chemically induced HCC, resulting in the induction of various tumor-promoting genes, including indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase; and attenuation of these changes by blockade or genetic ablation of CB1R suppresses the growth of HCC and highlights the therapeutic potential of peripheral CB1R blockade.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence has revealed a close relationship between non-coding RNAs and cancer progression. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a recently identified new member of non-coding RNAs, are demonstrated to participate in diverse biological processes, such as development, homeostatic maintenance and pathological responses. The functions of circRNAs in cancer have drawn wide attention recently. Until now, the expression patterns and roles of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have remained largely unknown.MethodsBioinformatics method was used to screen differentially expressed novel circRNAs in HCC. Northern blotting, qRT-PCR, in situ hybridization (ISH) and RNA-FISH were utilized to analyzed the expression of circRHOT1 in HCC tisues.CCK8, colony formation, EdU assays were used to analyze proliferation of HCC cells. Transwell assay was utilized to analyze HCC cell migration and invasion. FACS was used for apoptosis analysis. Xenograft experiments were used to analyze tumor growth in vivo. Mass spectrum, RNA pulldown, RIP and EMSA was utilized to test the interaction between circRHOT1 and TIP60. RNA-sequencing method was used to analyze the downstream target gene of circRHOT1.ResultsWe identified circRHOT1 (hsa_circRNA_102034) as a conserved and dramatically upregulated circRNA in HCC tissues. HCC patients displaying high circRHOT1 level possessed poor prognosis. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrated circRHOT1 significantly promoted HCC growth and metastasis. Regarding the mechanism, we conducted a RNA pulldown with a biotin-labeled circRHOT1-specific probe and found that circRHOT1 recruited TIP60 to the NR2F6 promoter and initiated NR2F6 transcription. Moreover, NR2F6 knockout inhibited growth, migration and invasion, whereas rescuing NR2F6 in circRHOT1-knockout HCC cells rescued the proliferation and metastasis abilities of HCC cells.ConclusionTaken together, circRHOT1 inhibits HCC development and progression via recruiting TIP60 to initiate NR2F6 expression, indicating that circRHOT1 and NR2F6 may be potential biomarkers for HCC prognosis.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite awareness of risk factors for the development of HCC and advances in the diagnosis and clinical management of the disease, the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis remain poorly understood. Recent experimental studies provide strong evidence that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), non-protein-coding transcripts with lengths >200 basepairs, contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases. Over the past decade, a role for lncRNAs in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of HCC has likewise emerged and developed into a highly active area of research. Although many lncRNAs appear to be dysregulated in HCC, extensive functional characterization has been performed on only a small proportion of these candidates to date. This review summarizes select lncRNAs that have been shown to wield functional relevance in the initiation, progression, or metastasis of HCC, focusing on the specific mechanisms by which lncRNA effects might be linked to clinical manifestations of the disease. In addition, an overview of circulating lncRNAs that have been identified as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC is provided.
