Proteome Landscape of Early Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Identifies Proteomic Subtypes and New Therapeutic Targets

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 90% of primary liver cancers, the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Although HCC surgical treatment may be curative in the early stages, its five-year overall survival is only 50-70%. Advances in proteomic technologies have expanded the breadth and depth of cancer proteome characterization. Here, we present the largest characterization effort on proteomic profiling of 222 tumor and paired non-tumor tissues in clinically early HCC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0 and A). Quantitative proteomic data identified three more-refined subtypes in the early- stage cohort of HCC (termed S-I, S-II and S-III) with different clinical outcomes. S-I retained hepatic detoxification and metabolic functions with the best prognosis, S-II increased molecular expression related to proliferation, and S-III showed distinct enrichment of tumor metastasis and immune response pathways and the poorest prognosis. The subtype specific signatures targeted by known FDA approved drugs or inhibitors under clinical investigations for HCC provide a novel resource for HCC therapeutic targets. A new mechanism of disrupted cholesterol homeostasis with aberrant accumulation of cholesteryl esters was also highlighted in S-III. Thus, this study represents the first proteomic stratification of early-stage HCC, providing insights into tumor biology and personalized targeted therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third leading cause of deaths from cancer worldwide. Infection with the hepatitis B virus is one of the leading risk factors for developing hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly in East Asia<sup>1</sup>. Although surgical treatment may be effective in the early stages, the five-year overall rate of survival after developing this cancer is only 50-70%<sup>2</sup>. Here, using proteomic and phospho-proteomic profiling, we characterize 110 paired tumour and non-tumo ...[more]

Project description:The control of gene expression in Toxoplasma is not well understood. As we and others have shown, this organism does contain bipartite promoters that are sufficient to induce gene expression. This information can be used in downstream experiments to identify proteins that bind to experimentally confirmed cis elements. One of these methods, yeast one-hybrid is currently being employed to identify proteins which bind to the BAG1 and B-NTPase promoter elements. Another powerful method that can be used to identify genomic regions containing controllers of gene expression takes advantage of genetic linkage mapping provided by genetic crosses, called expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping. In the eQTL approach, one uses gene expression as quantitative traits, or phenotypes, in QTL mapping. QTL mapping is a proven method in Toxoplasma that has recently identified apicomplexan-specific virulence factors in both the Type II X III and Type I X III crosses (Saeij et al., 2006, Taylor et al., 2006, Su et al., 2002). With the recent design of the Affymetrix Toxoplasma GeneChip one can gather gene expression profiles for all predicted genes in the Toxoplasma genome in a rapid and reproducible way. Combining the power of Affymetrix gene expression technology and QTL mapping can lead to the identification of genes with differential expression in the parents and progeny of a genetic cross and then to the identification of the genomic regions that contain mechanisms that have an effect on expression. The first description of combining global gene expression profiles with QTL mapping was published by Brem et al. using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Brem et al., 2002). Since that time, eQTL projects have been described for several other organisms including human, mouse, rat, maize, Arabidopsis, barley, eucalyptus, and wheat (Gibson & Weir, 2005). There are two mapping location types expected when using gene expression profiles as phenotypes. Mapping of gene expression profiles can lead to linkage of a locus (region) containing the gene being mapped, thus cis to the gene. Although the boundaries of the locus will contain many genes, it is presumed that for most cis QTLs sequence polymorphisms in the regulatory region(s) of the gene being mapped are the cause of the observed expression differences. The other mapping location type expected is one where the expression profile maps to a locus not containing the gene being mapped, or trans to the gene (Ronald et al., 2005). The most interesting trans loci are those that have multiple genes mapping to the same locus in trans, or to a trans hotspot. These hotspots likely contain factor(s) that regulate many genes, such as transcription factors or factors involved in upstream signal transduction pathways that can eventually lead to a number of transcriptional changes (Yvert et al., 2003). Here we describe the results of an eQTL project using the gene expression profiles for the parents and 34 informative progeny of the type I-GT1-Fudr X type III-CTGara cross for both the tachyzoite and bradyzoite stages. This is the first time global gene expression profiles have been used to determine linkage to regions presumed to be controllers of transcription using the Affymetrix Toxoplasma GeneChip. The dominant genomic associations found were those mapping cis and there were several regions, or hotspots, where multiple genes map in trans. In addition, we observed an unexpected finding suggesting there are several duplication events in the parasites of the Type I X III cross which may also have consequences on gene expression levels. The ToxoGeneChip microarray (http://ancillary.toxodb.org/docs/Array-Tutorial.html) was used to measure both tachyzoite and bradyzoite mRNA expression in the parents and progeny of the I X III cross. For each of the two developmental expression sets, genome-wide eQTL scans were run for each gene specific probeset on the microarray. The parents of the cross are CTGara and GT1-Fudr. The rest comprise the informative progeny.

Project description:Nitrogen fixation is a highly energy-demanding process and highly regulated at multiple levels. The two major signals that regulate nitrogen fixation in most diazotrophs are oxygen and ammonia. In order to study the complex regulated mechanism and to highlight the complete nitrogen fixing system in genome level, here we present the transcriptional profiles of the nitrogen fixation genes of P.stutzeri A1501 in different growth conditions with a genome-wide DNA microarray. In this study, the three samples of "P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 0.1mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension","P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 0.1mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension-2" and "P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 0.1mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension-3" were three repeat experiments, while, the other three samples of "P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 20mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension-1", "P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 20mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension-2" and "P.stutzeri A1501 treated with 20mM ammonia and 0.5% Oxygen tension-3" were three repeat experiments. The gene expressions under these two growth phases were compared to investigate which genes' expression were effected by different ammonia concentrations. Keywords: nitrogen fixation, nitrogen repression P.stutzeri whole genome microarray, which was based on our sequenced strain A1501. The microarray used in this study featured 3988 of the 4145 ORFs identified in P.stutzeri strain A1501, because 157 ORFs were not on the microarray of the inability to amplify these products. ORFs were amplified with specific primer pairs (Invitrogen). To ensure that the elements of our array would detect specifically their corresponding genes and no others, the ORF coordinates fed into the primer program were circumscribed such that they would exclude regions of any ORF that contained significant similarity to any other ORF. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to perform quality control on all PCR products. Oligonucleotides were removed from the PCR mix by PCR 96 cleanup plate (Millipore). DNA was resuspended in 12 Î¼l of spotting solution containing 50% dimethyl sulfoxide. PCR products were spotted onto gamma amino propylsilan coated GAPII slides (Corning) with a OmniGrid â¢ microarrayer (GeneMachines).The negative control genes were from the type III secretion system genes of shigella flexneri 2a and the commercial Arabidopsis genes (SpotReportâ¢ cDNA Array Validation System, Stratagene). The positive control genes were from the 16S rRNA of P.stutzeri A1501. We used Cy3-labeled genomic DNA and Cy5 dye-labeled cDNA, for hybridization. The cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription of 5 Î¼g of total RNA. The labeled cDNA and genomic DNA samples were mixed and hybridized at 65â for 16 hours. Genomic DNA was used as a universal internal control for the quality of the microarray and also allowed for the comparison of results across multiple experiments. Each experiment was repeated three times from the beginning of inoculation.
